Francesco has always been passionate in drawings, art, fashion, and creating paper outfits since childhood. He is originally from Foligno and raised in Spoleto, Italy, two cities with a rich history of art and culture.
Embarking on an academic path completely different from his passions and visions, Francesco first graduated as a chef but guided by the desire to fulfill his dreams, he landed in the world of fashion working in one of the coolest boutiques of the moment.
During this successful journey, Francesco took an extra step that changed his life in becoming a Designer. Unbeknownst to everyone, Francesco participated in the entrance exam of one of the most renowned fashion universities in the world, the Academy of Costume and Fashion. With an excellent score, and believing in himself more than anyone else he manages to graduate from the Academy.
Immediately after graduating, Francesco joins the La.i.pe team designer for the Cromia handbags brand, an Italian leather goods company known internationally for its work with prestigious names such as Gianni Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Gucci, Marc Jacobs.
