Bachelor degree in costume and fashion at Accademia Costume & Moda in Rome, previously graduate in a technical high school where I learn patternmaking and tailoring so history of costume and sartorial skills are basic component of my work.
Lover of beauty and everything that can give you an strong emotion, a Caravaggio, Mozart's Lacrimosa or a book by Irvine Welsh.
My graduate collection X - ENIAC talks about neo- digital medioevo, a (not so) dystopic world where Xenia is trapped.

X - ENIAC

X - eniac is the story of a journey, a time journey.

Arrived in 2020 Xenia is no longer able to separate the real world from the virtual one. Slave to the machines she clings frantically to memories of the past.

Medieval shapes such as the armors and the male gonnella from fourteenth century meets shearling, soft sheepskin suffocated by a metallic foil.

CHAPTER 2: SURVIVE
The heraldry is reborn through the patchwork and from the mix of different clothes, the active knitwear is the contemporary armor for the time zero human.
Prints and colors represent the confusion and the hyperconnectivity of this era, recycle is survive.

CHAPTER 3: ORGANIC BYTE
Memories of a past naturalism contaminated by the inevitable technological advent, organic elements like leather and moiret fight with the new artificial reality.
