My Story
My relationship with fashion has always been an evolution of color, form, and texture—a journey rooted in a childhood passion for drawing, painting, and collage that ultimately grew into a multi-disciplinary career across Milan, New York, Los Angeles, and Geneva.
The Foundation: Milan & The Craft
My professional path began on the runway as a fashion model, experiencing the architecture of garments firsthand before translating that knowledge into creation. Driven to master the technical craft, I studied Fashion Design at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni in Milan. My graduation collection—a highly structural, architectural line inspired by Art Deco—set the stage for my work with various Milanese fashion houses and the launch of my independent couture label.
Partnering closely with a specialized Milanese laboratory, I oversaw every element of production from the ground up: sourcing elite fabrics, selecting distinct hardware, and hand-crafting initial prototypes. This dedication culminated in a sophisticated evening wear capsule collection that debuted globally—headlining showcases in Geneva and at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) featuring Miss USA 2013.
The Evolution: Global Markets & Chromatology
As my vision expanded, color and texture became my central language. Inspired by the vibrant energy of the Caribbean, I launched the Paraíso collection, where I hand-painted intricate embroideries, hand-sewed pearls, and created custom-embellished footwear. The collection resonated globally, spanning promotions in Latin America and Milan, and retail success in Singapore.
Upon moving to Los Angeles, my obsession with chromatology took center stage. I designed highly colorful, joyful women's collections, elevating the textiles by hand-crafting custom three-dimensional floral elements from multimedia ribbons and materials. In LA, I operated as a full-scale Creative Director: producing and hosting major fashion events, casting models, and managing complete creative teams of photographers, makeup artists, and hairstylists.
This joyful aesthetic organically bridged into children’s luxury wear after a custom request went viral on social media. What began as a single piece evolved into a thriving line of customized dresses, caps, and footwear, earning editorial features in fashion magazines and live runway showcases in Orlando.
The Shift to Fine Art: Photography, Leather, & Canvas
While in Los Angeles, I fully integrated photography and styling into my creative repertoire. Working as a published portrait and fashion photographer, I mastered visual storytelling behind the lens, utilizing Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to direct the final mood and aesthetic of my campaigns.
Driven by an urge to fuse raw street style with fine art, I began experimenting with leather as a canvas. Through rigorous technical trial and error—transitioning from early material experiments to mastering specialized, high-durability leather pigments—I developed my signature style: bold, vibrant abstract wearable art. These custom jackets quickly found homes in high-end LA concept stores and led to my residency as a featured artist in a contemporary Los Angeles gallery.
The Present Chapter: Geneva
Now returned to my roots, I am a Swiss-born artist whose practice continues to push boundaries from my studio in Geneva. My current work in large-scale abstract painting and mixed media on canvas allows me to explore the profound themes of duality and emotional depth—balancing structural design with raw emotion and global vibrancy.
Today, my hand-painted abstract leather jackets are showcased in a premier concept store in Geneva, while I simultaneously expand my artistic boundaries onto canvas and continue to evolve my signature style as a dynamic visual force.
