What was your first project?
The first project I managed was creating a collection using almost exclusively military cots, transforming them into various items – skirts, tops, pants, outerwear.
The creative process: do you work instinctively or plan every single step? Where do your ideas come from?
I love to travel extensively, and from each journey, I try to gather inspiration to create an entire collection. I prefer working on instinct, but sometimes I’m inevitably forced to plan ahead, solely due to deadlines that must be met.
What did you think when Berto contacted you?
When I first met Anna, and consequently discovered the Berto collection, my immediate thought was that I had finally found a company with superior quality fabrics compared to others. Much more sophisticated, exclusive, and interesting.
Which Berto fabrics have you worked with for your project and collections?
In the Spring/Summer 2020 season, we used the Globe Carbon One article in two different washes, one dark and one lighter with a grey tendency. We also used the Globe Natural 8 article and the Gipsy article.
What do you consider the most significant aspect of Berto for Talents? What goals have you been able to achieve through this program?
Honestly, I know few companies that communicate with their clients as effectively as Berto does. I greatly appreciate the fact that we’re not constrained by minimum production quantities
and I believe this project is an excellent opportunity for young professionals.
“Less but better” can be interpreted as an endorsement of a certain degree of purity in design as well as in fashion design. It can also be understood as an environmental message about reduction and sustainability. What are your thoughts?
I absolutely agree with this message. For all collections, I always try to use few fabrics but in a distinctive way, focusing more on shapes. I think this is a topic that should be given greater importance.
Is there something you’ve never done that you’d like to accomplish?
Yes, there are countless projects in AVN’s pipeline, with the primary one being the launch of e-commerce, which will happen by the end of the year.
