#minimal #glam #blackaddicted

Martina was born on 8 September 1992 in Tolmezzo and grew up in a small countryside reality. She has been fascinated by the fashion world since childhood, her favourite hobby was – and still is – to fill in blank pages with sketches. By the time she was in mid-school she could turn oddments of cloths spread all over the house, into dresses and accessorizes by using just two tools: a needle and a thread. Her future was already decided upon; she attended the art high school in udine specialising in fashion, and thanks to the school’s laboratories she was able to improve technical and manual competences. Once Martina’s had consolidate her skills, she decided to move to the capital of fashion: milan, here she began her carrier as a fashion designer. Thanks to the high intensity studies in her younger years, and to the laboratories at the Istituto Marangoni, Martina increased her devotion for pattern making, developing a personal technique: geometrical shapes marked on the fabric and later draped on mannequins. By the time her academic journey was coming to an end she was able to model many capsule collections and finally evolve her own style: clean, minimal and moodish. The gratification followed all that work. In february 2014 Martina was one of the four winners of the contest “next generation 2014” held by the camera nazionale della moda; here she was granted the opportunity of showing 12 outfits at the Milan fashion week, with her own fashion show. Lately she has been attending many short classes offered by renowned colleges, amongst with London central saint martins college. As well as this, Martina has also been in contact with different ateliers and brands, and she is now working for one of them. Her team finds her work amazingly fresh and innovative, yet wearable by anyone. As you are reading she has finally reached her goal of starting up her own brand, focusing on woman’s wear.
