Who are you? A gypsy, girl-about-town, globe trotting nomad and fashion psychic

Where are you from and where do you live? Born and raised in Melbourne Australia to an Italian family. Currently based in Toronto, Canada <3

What do you do? Inspire and motivate others to live their best lives by being their most expressive and extraordinary selves. I use the platform as a fashion stylist, wardrobe makeover maven and costume designer as a means of encouraging others to be more daring and make bolder choices. We can always become MORE than we currently allow ourselves to be.

What is your dream creative project? Current dream project is in the works: I am creating a line based on consciousness and consideration. By taking what already exists (vintage military and denim pieces) and working them into an object of beauty that not only can be worn, but transmits good vibes. I want people to feel great in my pieces. I want them to feel special. I am working with an NGO in rural India that gives women the opportunity through training and a super supportive environment, to earn money and collaborate with international young designers and their brands. These are young women who otherwise wouldn’t be able to even leave their homes or be seen in public without their husbands, as they are still living in an area ruled by old school customs. I design for empowerment. From my manufactures to my clients.
