Helped to discover my voice as designer...

My first memory of Ivana Conte is of a beautiful, soulful young lady wearing a striking black vest - a piece so stunning it inspired me to base my first collection around its design. That initial meeting left a lasting impression, and from that point on, Ivana became an essential guide in helping me discover my voice as a designer. She played a pivotal role in teaching me to listen to my instincts, recognize my unique strengths, and cultivate my skills. She encouraged me in my very first steps to embrace my talents and shape my creative vision. To this day, I am deeply grateful to Ivana for helping me develop my own style and identity. Ivana is the only teacher with whom I’ve stayed in touch for over 16 years, and I still turn to her for career advice. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me grow both as a designer and as an individual, and I am forever grateful for that. Having a mentor who has known you from the very beginning and understands your full potential is invaluable. She has helped me approach new projects not with fear, but with an open mind and heart.
