I am a disruptive minimalist

Fashion

I don’t do trends: I go by style and the senses.

I can’t eat without cutlery and napkins except French fries

Don’t wear florals or the color red

My favorite color is navy blue

The prevailing memory of my youth in Tuscany: my grandmother’s armoire filled with evening gowns, costume jewelry, and hats. It was my rabbit hole to wonderland - I spent countless hours dressing up for imaginary occasions, forming the foundation of unpretentious taste and effortless chic that pervade the Italian way . 

My piles of books

As I lived across continents, I continued to find joy in mixing everyday fashion like local market finds with sartorial pieces. Indeed, having lived in cities where fashion happens, like Milan and London, has forged my knack for living the Italian way  

I believe that “a noteworthy moment cannot be mass-produced”, which is why styling for me is a ritual.
