About Frida Giannini

Her revival of the Flora pattern demonstrated how archival motifs could become modern commercial signatures. Across her collections, 1970s references, rich color, leather goods and fluid eveningwear formed a recognizable vocabulary. Her subsequent practice has included jewelry design, consulting and projects linking fashion with music and culture.
