Restraint reads as luxury
The strongest look is the one with nothing left to remove. I edit down before I add.
My story
From a tailor's bench to the cover wall.
I grew up in a tailoring family outside Milan, where I learned to read a garment from the inside — the seam allowances, the drape of a weight of wool, the way a shoulder should sit. That instinct never left. It just moved from the workroom onto sets and runways.
I began assisting editors in my early twenties, then spent a decade styling for European titles before founding Drape in 2017. Today I work with a small slate of clients each season — editorials, campaigns, runway, and a handful of private clients — so every look gets the attention it deserves.
When I'm not on set you'll find me hunting vintage in Porta Portese, archiving fabric swatches, and quietly judging badly hung hems.

What I believe
Principles that dress the work.
Story before trend
Trends date. A point of view doesn't. Every wardrobe should say something true.
Fit is everything
A modest piece, tailored well, beats an expensive one worn wrong. The hem decides it.
Respect the talent
People perform best when they feel themselves. I dress for confidence, not costume.
Prep wins the day
The magic happens because the racks were sorted, steamed, and labelled the night before.
Buy less, choose well
I mix vintage and archive with new — fashion that lasts beyond a single season.
