Hi, my name is Alessandro.

Yes, I like Red.

I was born in Trieste, Italy, where I had my first experiences in design working with my father in his own workshop crafting leather bags.
With 19 I moved to Berlin, where I then completed my BA in fashion design at the Universität der Künste.

During my studies I developed my technical and creative talents as well as my identity as a designer, gaining experience and knowledge in artisanal craftsmanship such as sewing, pattern making and draping to screen printing and macramé.

Designing details and functional clothing are twe of my talenst, abilities which were deepened designing in the course of my internship at BMW Motorrad Gear and Garment.

Moreover I have a professional experience operating with co2 laser-cutters, which I gained working over five years at lasern. Having unrestricted access to this cutting technology I applied it with textiles and other materials for my own design projects making it one of my distinctive techniques.

Moreover, through my personal interest in youth cultures, digital world and gender studies I stay aware about the issues and needs of contemporary fashion in western society.

Thanks to these experiences and knowledges I am able to design a collection from the start, developing fresh and sustainable concepts, translate them in materials and drawings up to manufacturing detailed prototypes complying with the demands of actual day-to-day wearing.

Hi, my name is Alessandro.

Yes, I like Red.
