ABOUT

“After returning from formative experiences abroad, I read an article in the NY Times by Cathy Horyn who said that across the new generation of designers, there was nothing more to invent and that everything had already been done – the ‘post-trend’ generation. I therefore felt the need to create something authentic, away from conventional models and without definition. So living in the post-trend world I gave life to my brand, satisfying my devotion to elegance, my passion for painting and my pursuit of Italian excellence and quality”.
