HELLO

My name is Francesca

Explore with me the manifestations of The Empire.

​

As a graduate in Design and Management of Fashion Aesthetics, I’ve always been fascinated by the universe of fashion and its power to shape visual and cultural experiences. What excites me most is discovering the many ways this social phenomenon takes form — far beyond clothing.

The Empire is my personal lens to explore how fashion extends into unexpected and diverse industries — from aesthetic consumer experiences, gastronomy, interior design, and architecture, to art, hospitality, and cultural tourism. It’s about recognizing fashion as a system of meaning, identity, and transformation — one that influences how we live, feel, and connect.

​

Why “The Empire”?
Since university, I’ve loved referring to the fashion world with the title of Gilles Lipovetsky’s book “L’Empire de l’éphémère”. There’s something ironic yet deeply accurate about it: fashion has built an empire ruled by appearance, seduction, and the constant pursuit of novelty.

​

Through this space, I invite you to explore that empire with me — with curiosity, irony, and aesthetic sensibility.
