Cecilia Rinaldi is a creative young woman with a rich professional career as a fashion designer, pattern-maker and clothing accessory sampler.

She has devoted herself to her handmade vocation, deepening her sartorial and design techniques through creative research and the study of materials and fabrics.

In 2010 Cecilia graduated from the Accademia Italiana Art Fashion and Design in Florence, where she also currently teaches. She values continual learning and in 2013, she attended Richland College’s Cultural Studies program while working as a designer for private clients and as a buyer through a fashion boutique in the United States. She has also attended Esmod International Fashion Academy in Berlin, specializing in fashion illustration and fashion design.

Cecilia values collaboration and looks for opportunities to volunteer with other sustainable brands around the globe as a way to increase her knowledge and help spread and support the movement of sustainable and ethical fashion.

As an avid traveler, Cecilia comes in contact with different contexts and cultures which are the inspiration for her research and new ideas. This allows her style to continually grow and mature, always keeping in mind her sustainable and artisanal foundation.

A SUSTAINABLE BRAND:

Cecilia Rinaldi is a brand dedicated to ethical and conscious fashion. We create clothing and accessories based on environmental and social sustainability using fabrics and organic materials produced in Italy.

Each collection is created with the idea of Slow Fashion, emphasizing sustainability, beauty, longevity and respect for humanity. Italian style is combined with a deconstructed form influenced by different Asian cultures resulting in a refined and minimal urban chic style.

We promote continual research into new innovative methods while always referencing Italian traditions to maintain high quality products with a low environmental impact. We believe that providing the option to buy one quality garment over multiple low quality items contributes to reducing the environmental impact of a wardrobe.
