My roots trace back to a small farming village in central Italy and the island of Malta. In the 1950s, my grandparents immigrated to Australia in search of a “better life”. Clothing became part of their journey, and through constant wear and tear, their clothing shared their adventures in this new chapter of their lives. A quiet but familiar companion, providing a sense of comfort and belonging in an ever-changing world. With the fusion of European old-world charm and contemporary luxury, my collection pays homage to the journey and legacy left behind by not only my grandparents but their clothes.
