After my diploma in Arts, I went to study fashion design in one of the most prestigious institutes of Europe, Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design & Marketing in Florence, where I lived for a few years.
Once over with my studies, I have immediately began my career as designer, which brought me to work in Stefanel maison. In February 2006 I have started to work with Francois Girbaud atMaritheFrancoisGirbaud maison, for 7 years. In this period I lived in different places as Florence, Rimini, Paris and Bangalore. Working with some of the most talented fashion designers, I have learnt how built a garments and how to develop a collection.
