CREATIVE DIRECTOR & AI SPECIALIST

Editor in Chief, Creative Director, and Innovator in Fashion, Arts, and Technology, I have been working in the fashion industry since the mid-90s, starting as a Senior Agent at Management Artists in New York, Paris, and Milan. In 2009, I founded Gloria Maria Gallery, which I ran until 2015. I later became Editor at Large and Creative Director of i-D for Vice Italy in Milan. 

In 2022, I co-founded RED-EYE, where I currently serve as Editor in Chief and Creative Director, exploring the intersection of AI, fashion, and digital art.

As a contributor to d La Repubblica, I write about AI and the future of creativity, and I’ve contributed to exhibitions such as Dolce & Gabbana’s "Dal Cuore alle Mani", writing the introduction to the Digital Artists section for this traveling exhibition, which has been showcased in Milan at Palazzo Reale and Paris at the Grand Palais.

My work focuses on inclusive and sustainable XR experiences, using AI to explore new tools of communication. As an academic lecturer, I teach AI and new technologies for fashion, luxury communication, and arts, while also leading workshops and hackathons. I frequently speak and moderate panels on XR and AI at international symposiums.
