I’m Silvia! I’m a fashion and graphic designer focus on Large and Small Leather Goods Accessories.
ABOUT ME
My name is Silvia Taccola, I was born in Milan on 30 September 1993. I grew up in the countryside of the province surrounded by nature and with the desire to explore the outside world.
I consolidated the English language and in Spain as a photographer of aspiring models, thanks to the Erasmus Plus scholarship won through the university. Finally I moved from Milan to Florence for work.
I attended the scientific high school which trapped my artistic side in a corner but helped me develop a considerable dose of determination and adaptability to all situations, laying a solid foundation on which I leaned to face the university. Since I was little I have always loved playing with my mother’s clothes and make-up and then starting to dream and design stage costumes for small theatrical performances and themed parties, so the choice of university address was natural.
I currently carry out a very dynamic job in the world of luxury leather goods for Bulgari Accessori s.r.l. which allows me to explore and touch the creative and productive process at 360 °. For this reason, my approach to work is characterized by two souls, one more creative, curious and open minded, the other more meticulous, organized and aimed at achieving goals. University and work experiences have led me to appreciate teamwork, with which I have always achieved maximum results. I am not afraid to get involved in completely new challenges. I have a strong spirit of adaptation to the different contexts and objectives that are submitted to me. For additional details, I invite you to consult my Curriculum Vitae.
When I started the fashion design faculty at the Politecnico di Milano I thought it was a crazy, artistic world, totally different from the high school I came from. Instead I was able to experiment and cultivate my creativity but following an almost scientific method to channel it into concrete and industrializable projects. I had some experiences abroad, in Ireland, where

The concept of this design comes from the idea that the snake wraps the bag in its coils. A magical fusion therefore takes place between the two that are transformed into a precious and unique piece of craftsmanship. The packaging design itself takes inspiration from
these shapes. Each bag is numbered from 1 to 10., emphasizing the uniqueness of each article.
