About
As a knitwear designer, I aspire to highlight the essential role of actors whose expertise is too often rendered invisible in favour of image-driven professions. My creative practice is guided by a fundamental principle: to bring visibility and recognition to artisans by revealing their contributions within the production chain.
I work through a hybrid methodology that blends research and design practice. My exploration of the wool ecosystem has been shaped by active participation in meetings and workshops, as well as direct collaborations with spinning mills and craftspeople.
My collections merge references to mountain craftsmanship with a minimalist, contemporary sensibility. I exclusively use yarns in their natural tones, embracing their raw and imperfect textures to celebrate materials in their original state and the craftsmanship behind them.
My ambition is to contribute to this network through creations that respect and value local craftsmanship, integrating into a contemporary and sustainable production dynamic.
