Designer to Watch with the collection "Future Vintage"
Future Vintage
Archeology of a near past is an immersion in the past, close enough to still feel it ours. Nature takes back its spaces and Man finds the rightful place in the world. This is the concept from which my proposal was born and developed. The goal is to tell the link between Nature and Man, a tormented relationship characterized by a single purpose: to regain possession of one's own space. Thus begins the story between two elements who end up recognizing each other, starting from their origins.
In fact, my collection tells the story of my grandparents, my family and my origins.
