BFA. Designer Of The Year 2022 Award. Grazie to everyone that made this happen. This victory belongs to me as much as it belongs to every single person that works in Maison Valentino, not only because they all supported me in every possible way but because their passion and dedication inspires me more than they could ever know. This victory to me is a reminder that in the era of realism, we want to face reality , even when it’s tough, and we want to lead positive changes through the power of beauty. With fashion and thorough fashion we create a world in which beauty can be the mirror for all beauties, in which we have the privilege and the opportunity to shape a welcoming environment for creativity because fashion is culture based on creativity. Fashion is a language, a powerful one, and with such a power comes also a big responsibility because what we do with our work is a reflection of our values and a manifesto of our will. Fashion can also be a radical, aware and political act of rebellion, and I love that. ‘Non vogliamo essere subito gia’ cosi’ senza sogni.’ @simona_caggia @bennipiccioli @stella_piccioli @pietro.piccioli @avannetti @sabatods @gabrielgabar @mau.ra @s__trombetta @yigit
