MA Fashion Design Distinction CUM LAUDE

Thesis Project, B.A.T: a male coat collection fashioned with a hand-made fabric coated with marble powder. This particular technique gives the fabric the color and the tactile appearance of marble yet does not compromise from its coziness. Thanks to this innovative material, a concept was born that defeated time and space -- two elements that determined what was fashionable. The proposed collection would never become unfashionable, simply because it would never be subject to the standards of fashion in a specific time and place. A timeless collection.

Bachelor of Fashion Design

Thesis Project, DE AEDIFICIS: a female coat collection. The concept for my thesis was to create a fashion collection inspired by architecture. My architectural muse were the mosaics of the Byzantine world and two of Byzantine’s most renowned churches for their unmatched beauty: San Vitale of Ravenna, Hagia Sophia of Istanbul, both built under the rule of Emperor Justinian. Thus the project became the melting pot of two capital cities: Ravenna, the capital city of the Western Roman Empire and Istanbul, the capital city of the Eastern Roman Empire: The meeting aspired to illustrate the synthesis of the same culture lived at a distance, almost in two different "continents".
