HI! My name is Sofia and I am a 26 year old girl with a passion for craftsmanship . Everything that is created with my hands has always stimulated me, it is an effective way to express myself and since I was little I enjoyed transforming my mother's old skirts into dresses suitable for me, using safety pins and clothespins!
I studied Fashion & Textile Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Como (IED group) and from there I continued to experiment on my own in the field of tailoring , natural dyeing and hand embroidery.
Today I create tailor-made garments preferring natural fibers and sometimes I recycle disused garments, giving them a new shape without further waste. I do custom hand embroidery on clothes, bags and various accessories.
Two years ago I won a competition with Armani , which allowed me to participate, as a costume designer, in a short film called "La Giacca". One of a kind experience, because being on a film set is something indescribable. This certainly gave me even more desire to express my creativity and believe in myself.
Among the various commissions I received, there was one that particularly struck me because of its meaning: a girl suffering from cystic fibrosis asked me to embroider a tattoo she had on her back; breathing well is complicated for her and in a period of health emergency like this it made me think about the things we take for granted. If with a simple embroidery I can strengthen a message of hope like hers, this fulfills me more than anything.
My Instagram offers a showcase of what I do, from commissions to personal works, all handmade! In fact, these are garments and embroideries made entirely by hand.
You will be able to find an idea for something unique and personal, a garment with added value because it is one of a kind (in terms of construction and fabric) and the same goes for embroidery. A slow fashion that I hope lasts over time!
