The New Enfant Terrible of Fashion - A creator to the end of her fingertips


Sicilian born Francesca says her roots play a great part in the way she creates her collections. Her taste for Designing, Creating a Concept and Couture have been with her since the tender age of four and by the time she was ten, she started to self-teach herself by designing and sewing outfits for her little sister’s dolls. Already then her designs had an edge to them, a different touch to them.

There are people that you would like to see every day once you’ve met them. You know...when in a split of a second you are sure that you are dealing with someone nice, someone who is worth it. Someone you can appreciate and can admire their talent and their work. You can spend hours watching them in the middle of their creating stages...She definitely has The Midas Touch...Well...

Francesca is one of those people. Designer in the soul, Londoner of heart and Sicilian in the skin... They are rare, those designers who can truly say that they know on how to sew, alter, iron, etc... that they are 100% involved from the designing to the production and the shows.
