Designer to Watch with the “Future Vintage” collection
Archaeology of a recent past is an immersion into the past; but a past close enough to still feel like our own. Nature reclaims its spaces and Man finds his rightful place in the world. This is the concept from which my style proposal originates and develops. The goal is to narrate the bond between Nature and Man, a tormented relationship marked by a single purpose: reclaiming one’s own space. Thus begins the story between two elements that eventually recognize themselves in each other, starting from their own origins.
Indeed, my collection tells the story of my grandparents, my family, and my origins.
