Cour/Age
The etymology of courage derives from ‘cour’, heart, the ‘seat of the feelings’; a great part of the enriching essence that has propelled Violante Nessi herself from the beginning of her career right up until today.
Born in Bologna, to Chilean and Italian-German parents, Violante graduated from Istituto Marangoni and Central Saint-Martins and designed alongside Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler in London and New York.`After these experiences she moved back to Italy to build the foundations of her brand and the relationships with the Italian makers and suppliers which she now names as her second family.
Deeply rooting her business in Italy, in the 2018 Violante moved to London to launch her namesake brand and opened the official, by appointment, VIOLANTE NESSI townhouse in the heart of Chelsea. Committed to excellence, Violante is devoted to elegance, designing sophisticated pieces for savvy international women.
