VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART AND FILM FESTIVAL

I had the honor of being asked to design a look for Italian television personality Chiara Carcano for the 83rd annual Venice Film Festival, and I immediately reached out to my close friend and collaborator, Emma Knapp, to help bring Chiara's vision to life. Emma and I worked with Chiara's longtime stylist, Leonardo Martino, to create a custom design featuring a white sculpted bodice with a draped silk full-length skirt with side ruching.
