Join me for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at my latest corsetry collection, explore the artistry behind each handmade piece, and even try on some of my designs. We’ll finish with a hands-on workshop, where you’ll craft your own fashion accessory using luxurious fabrics from my atelier. • We’ll start with a brief history of corsetry and its impact on modern fashion, followed by a showcase of bespoke bridal pieces as well as ready-to-wear corsets, skirts, and pants. This will provide an opportunity to explore the craftsmanship behind each design. • With guided instruction on hand or machine sewing techniques, craft your own accessory—a choker, hairpiece, handbag, or brooch—using velvet, silk, and other fabrics from my collection. • End with a reflection on the value of craftsmanship, the legacy of “Made in Italy” design, and a parting gift—the accessory you created! As you run your hands over rich silks and velvets, stitch together your own piece of wearable art, and feel the structure of a perfectly tailored corset, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the skill and passion that go into every handmade creation.

When Art Comes to Life_A Park Adventure

Join me for a unique artistic experience to create a one-of-a-kind work of art—blending creativity, design, and personal expression—as a special souvenir from your trip. I’d like to show you Milan from a different perspective: a green one. The city is full of parks, each offering its own charm. For this first adventure, this experience takes place at Parco Indro Montanelli, in the Porta Venezia neighborhood—a space that has always felt to me like a forest in the heart of the city. In particular, I’ll introduce you to the sculptures of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the white Peace Horse by Harry Rosenthal. As we observe these sculptures, we’ll imagine their personalities and stories. If they could roam free, where would they go? With sketchbooks and the creative tools I’ll provide in hand, we’ll bring these sculptures to life by giving them emotion and character. At the end of the experience, you’ll leave with a creative souvenir—a unique piece of art you can can take home, filled with your imagination and memories of Milan. Each workshop takes place in a carefully selected park. After Parco Indro Montanelli, I'll guide you through Parco Sempione, Giardino della Triennale, CityLife Park, and Parco dell’Idroscalo. The meeting location will vary and will be communicated in advance.
