I’m Valentina, born in 1986. It’s impossible for me to find the exact moment in which fashion began to be my world. Probably I was a baby, when I saw my first fashion show. Thanks to my mom, who let me attend showrooms, fashion events and labs, my passion was born in a natural way. I was attracted by colours, draperies and music and, above all by the harmonic game created by those elements.

I’ve always loved art and I started my studies in this field attending the Institute of Art in Bologna, where I discovered the hold connection between art, architecture, society and fashion. This experience taught me that using the mind in an exciting environment and using my body for creating was my future. Therefore I attended the university (History and techniques of Fashion and Costume)

TEAM

in Rimini and afterwards I completely dedicated myself to this universe. I worked in various companies as a fashion expert and collaborated with different photographers as a stylist. I’m a curios person, I love to study, watch and I love creating new trends. I’m always connected to the present, but I never forget the powerful value of the past towards the future.

My muses are Grace Coddington and Diana Vreeland and my favourite fashion designer are Franco Moschino, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Gaetano Navarra. You can taste my passion for fashion by looking at my works, and looking at me - I experiment with my style on a daily basis.

I don’t like spoken communication - I’d rather use images than words.
