D3 What was your experience like in Cannes, dressing an Italian celebrityfor the most prestigious red carpet in the world?
The preparation for Cannes was intense, detailed, and unforgettable. Dressing an Italian celebrity for the world’s most prestigious red carpet was a dream come true. Working with the person and creating a look that stood out from the others was a stimulating and rewarding challenge. Seeing my creation worn with confidence and grace on the red carpet was truly exciting and made me very proud of my work.
The emotion of seeing her walk on the red carpet, surrounded by photographers and the international press, was indescribable. The positive reaction from the public and the media to her look was incredibly gratifying and made me realize how much my work can influence and enhance a person’s beauty and personality.
Overall, the experience at Cannes was a mix of emotions, adrenaline, and professional satisfaction. Representing Italy at one of the world’s most important film festivals was an honor and pushed me to give my best as a stylist.
We could say that 2024 is a great year for you; your name and designs are featured in the top magazines. How are you experiencing this? Tell us, what dream do you still have to fulfill as a designer?
I`m absolutely thrilled with everything that is happening to me right now. Seeing my name and my designs published in the best magazines is a dream I’ve nurtured for years, and it is finally coming true.
One of my greatest aspirations as a designer is to see many women wearing one of my dresses. I imagine going to a restaurant and seeing different women, each with their own style and personality, wearing a piece I created. It would be an incredible and gratifying feeling to know that I have contributed to making each of their evenings special and unique.
