Clio Barcella -A: I am originally from Italy (Bergamo, a small city 45 minutes from Milano). I moved to New York City a few years ago.
Q: As a professional fashion designer, what inspired you to start your own line?
Clio Barcella -A:I wanted to create a “one of a kind” style. I only produce 1 unique piece at a time. I have never liked following trends just to feel part of something, on the contrary, I have always wanted to be different and particular, experimenting with fabrics and volumes of course, but keeping a sense of elegance and style. I am specialized in women’s collar shirts, which is a very versatile garment that can be covering more than one occasion.

Clio Barcella -A: The great fashion icons from the past: Marlene Dietrich, Jane Birkin….At that time elegance was still alive.
