Curriculum Vitae

I have had experience within a wide range of design fields. My first professional experience was as Photo Reporter for the Fuorisalone, the annual Design Festival held each April in Milan. I have had some experience in styling and working on set with professional photographers for e-commerce websites. During my BA I have freelanced as a graphic designer and have been published with Fucking Young Magazine and Noctis. During my MA in textiles in Nottingham I became enganged with Backlit: here I helped set up the exhibition of artist Zimoun and have worked closely with him from start to completion of the space. I then worked with Pauline Van Dongen, a sustainable wearable technology designer based in Holland. Here I helped with design, realisation of prototypes, research, toiling, knitwear development, sourcing for fabrics and liaising with manufacturers (mainly Italian). FInally I have worked with Xu Zhi, a fashion start-up in London, as Designer Assistant. My tasks included design, research, administration, sourcing, some accounting, liaising with collaborators, manufacturers and suppliers, branding and graphic design.

d a i s i es

a bodywear collection of five outfits inspired by Twenties’ and Thirties’ swimwear and Czech films. I took the cut-outs and silhouette of the bathing suits of that period and, imitating a collage, I “re-assembled” the maillot by sewing one on top of another a multitude of pieces. The title “Daises” is the name of a surrealist film by Vera Chytilova, from which I drew inspiration. I made my own fabric and draped on the mannequin. milano 2013
