Italy
Curious, inquisitive and always restlessly striving for something different: a place, a person, a moment that truly speaks to my essence and could be worth feeling nostalgic about.
I'm Italian, but the fact I lived between Russia and The UK for most of my 20s made me very nordic at the core.
I've always been drawn to beauty and well-curated aesthetics (I'm a libra, after all): it was fashion at first, but I've recently discovered a gripping need to explore the art and design universe.
When I find something cool, I like to write about it, sharing it with others. Peter Do, Thebe Magugu and JPG by Haider Ackermann are all I'm talking about these days.
You can see my latest achievements in terms of art direction, writing and pr in the clippings below.
It's all about being. The new Pianegonda advertising campaign is a shout-out to freedom, inviting us all to look within ourselves. Rocco Fasano, Serena De Ferrari, Daniela Scattolin and Karakaz chronicle their journey of self-discovery in an open invitation to express ourselves freely, while embracing our truest nature.
Anna Cleveland stars in "Assoluto" - the new Pianegonda campaign inspired by the origin and evolution of the entire universe. Assoluto is the new Pianegonda collection designed by Creative Director Betony Vernon: 23 unique creations hinting at the molecular composition and the concept of the atom, which take the shape of highly-polished silver spheres and modern chains narrating a spiritual story of authentic self-expression.
Imperfectum is the capsule collection designed for Pianegonda by Italian artist Marcantonio and inspired by the ancient Japanese technique of Kintsugi. A new concept of contemporary design, where a golden thread brings single imperfect elements together and creates a new form of beauty.
Tra sculture, gioielli e libri (uno di questi, The Boudoir Bible, illustrato da François Berthoud) il suo talento è stato apprezzato da celebrities del calibro di Dita von Teese, Angelina Jolie, ma anche Lady Gaga, che ha indossato un suo collare tempestato di cristalli nel video di Paparazzi, e da Christina Aguilera, che ha scelto un suo anello per la cover dell'album Bionic del 2010.

Helmed by new creative director Betony Vernon, Pianegonda's latest collection of silver smithery is equal parts futurism and heritage.
When meeting Ancuta Sarca, the first thing you notice is the warmth of her polite yet spontaneous smile framed in the wilderness of her curly black hair.
It is in the human nature to look for sex in every aspect of life, including fashion. It is up to designers to decipher its evolving power over the decades and interpret their own unrestrained, unfiltered version that best fits a certain sign of the times.
What got the attention of media and Instagrammers of the world this NYFW, is a beauty trend that finds its roots in tribal face-adorning traditions: pearl makeup. Is there really anything that can still impress our self-streaming society during fashion week and give us a trend we can actually endorse in real life?
