I am a young woman from Florence (Italy). 

I am involved in fashion since the day which I wore a red velvet dress and black patent ballerinas while waiting for the school bus. I was four. From 2018 I am a former student at Polimoda in Business of Fashion. Then I had the role, for one year,  as an intern as silk accessories product development at Salvatore Ferragamo. 

That was one of my biggest achievements: not only I grew as a person, but I also learn how to work inside a big international luxury brand. Nothing can be more crystalline clear: my future is in this fast-paced environment. I have the passion, attitude, determination, and skills to run it. 

 

But let’s take one step back. 

That little girl with her red velvet dress and black patent ballerinas has learned how to deal with lemons (if you know what I mean). 

“It’s not enough”, they used to said. And while I was growing reading the map upside-down, in my teenage years, I rotate the map to start reading that correctly. 

I decided to be better of those who thought “I wasn’t enough” because, be serious, enough for who? And therefore I became the best version of myself. 

I decided to love in freedom and fully what I love. The results arrived. 

I graduated from graphic design high school, in the years I received also an award: the fourth edition of the RFK Europe High School Journalism Award 2013.

The awards have not stopped. The four years at Polimoda brought me to push myself and use my abilities to develop projects and extracurricular activities. The one with Rossi Carta e Biglietti dal 1931, awarded me the third place. 

More: publishing on web pages or prints within graphic studio Velvet, e.Pitti and Manfredi Style got me closer to work in a group and share ideas and make a worth collaboration. 

Finally, the fashion working environment at Linea Elle di Sbolci&Terenzi S.N.C. and Salvatore Ferragamo have implemented my knowledge about this business. 

 

But most of the acknowledgment comes from personal experience.

I traveled over 17 countries, sometimes alone. I push myself over the boundaries to understand my limits and my capabilities. This gave to me the chance to conquer every personal or professional project; and even when I fail, I win.  

As my tattoo says: “passo per passo” (step by step), a step by another one I’m building my story; the next step, that can be part of my path, could be made by you.
