rather in love with yesterday’s fashion while
hoping to shape the dress code for the
women of tomorrow. AWE is also an explosion
of colours and emotions, a song and a poem
not to hear, but to wear, and a fashion therapy
as a way towards your true self and style.
played with words for a living for
about 25 years of her life while
(day)dreaming about fashion only to
switch, at around 40, to playing with it.
AWE is the story of hundreds of
unnamed dresses imprisoned in
my mind for more than 40 years which
have been crying for freedom, it is the
story of all the dresses admired in the
museums I visited, of old fabrics I ever
touched and of even older fashion &
art tales I ever learnt, of the love for
colours which defines AWE fundamentally.
It is the story I am writing for me and for you
hopefully in a fashionable, cheerful, and
colourful way.
a cheap brand
focused on maximising
sales figures, we are not seasonably trendy,
we neither compete nor want to be compared with
mass market fashion brands, we neither copy nor cheat,
we do not use poor quality fabrics and cheap labour, we do not
keep up with the fashion of the day because we dream of timeless fashion.
and we create visual impact designs, some of them as
unrepeatable patchwork apparel in an attempt to offer
collectible items to really convince people to buy less and
therefore buy well in an authentic exercise of slow-fashion.
We use ‘healthy’ fabrics and precious materials recovered in
small quantities from the harmful waste and reintegrated into
our fashion story in an exercise of stylish rebirth. We value
authenticity and look back with gratitude to fashion history,
we have respect for clients and try to provide them with
exquisite workmanship, we are sustainable, responsible and
transparent by using fabrics in an eco-minded manner, by
offering made to measure outfits to perfectly fit the body and
suit the taste, by retaining services for a fair price and by
employing people working in safe conditions.

I never believed that people are islands and therefore I do not believe this to be true in business either. What I do believe in is working together, helping each other, and growing together. That is why, please find below some of the people (and their work) who helped and advised me along the way, bore with me and encouraged me and to whom I am grateful for their time and support.
