Who are you key style influences?
My key influences are the materials, sensations, colours, and all kind of forms and structures. I also draw my inspiration from people: what people are wearing, for example: vintage, in movies, in music, in culture,... There are many things which influence my mind and my way of seeing things for example at the moment I'm influenced by Japan style.

What is your first style moment?
Since I was little I have imagined changing, modifying and making beautiful dresses, fashion and even home accessories. I have always had a lot of imagination, idea, inventiveness and many dreams!
When I saw and touched a fabric I could see the dress already finished in my mind. Then, one day I decided to create a dress for a special party and I realized that I wanted to became a good fashion designer. Slowly but surely I’m getting there: around January I will launch my new personal women's and men's collection: the brand is “LadyGranny” and will be presented during Pitti Fashion Fair in Florence.

What is your favourite fur moment?
I was born in the word of fur. When I was very young I played a game with my granny, I had to recognize the type of fur with my eyes closed but I only really understood that the fur world is in my heart when I attended a sorting course at Kopenhagen Fur Auction House.
I love working with fur because it is the most ductile material in the world and I can fully express my creativity. When I wear fur I feel unique and beautiful. For the moment I'm working for Carlo Ramello furrier and when we create a collection I could stay in the laboratory for 24 hours consecutively!
I love fur!
