La Dolce Vita: Crafting the Art of Slow Living is a project born from my passion for mindful making and storytelling through embroidery. As a designer, I’m drawn to emotional durable design creating pieces that hold meaning, memory and connection. Inspired by summers spent in Italy, in places like Castellabate, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast, this collection reflects a love for slow moments, sun-drenched landscapes and the poetry of everyday life. Using hand embroidery and reworked garments, I have created fashion that invites a deeper relationship with our wardrobes - encouraging responsible consumption and emotional connection. The softness of each piece offers an immersive, nostalgic escape. I’ve developed my approach through live projects with NEXT Boyswear and the TU Competition, gaining valuable experience across both fashion and interiors. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling, sustainability and craft - always led by emotion, memory and the beauty of slowness.
