Dolce & Gabbana: Three-Year Creative Residency

Each session offered guests a deeply personal, immersive retail journey. Beyond handbags and sneakers, I extended this artisanal service to customising belts, wallets, and personalising premium apparel directly within our styled workshop environment. Clients often viewed these pieces as investment-grade assets, and I was frequently requested to sign items, cementing the artisanal collaboration between the house, the collector, and the artist.

Featured Artisan: Live Experiential Illustration & Bespoke Collectibles for Luxury Flagship Activations.

Over a three-year residency, I transformed the guest journey across London’s most iconic flagships, including Harrods, Bond Street, and Sloane Street. As a featured artisan within immersive, Italian market-style takeovers, I provided live, atelier-style customisation of handbags and sneakers for international clients and VIPs. My bilingual capability in Italian allowed for seamless collaboration with boutique teams, further enriching the authentic brand experience.
