Vladimiro Gioia

Finally!!! Today was the day we all got to go to Vladimiro's factory in Como and actually talk to him for the first time.  To be honest I don't really know what I was expecting but he far exceeded my expectations. He told us all about his design process and inspiration.  He also showed up his favorite fabrics (furs and leathers, anything natural) and showed us his designs.  The sketches truly spoke for themselves.  The way he mixes fabrics together is just so beautiful and chic.  It is luxury clothing and can be worn day or night.

When we were able to ask him questions I was really excited to ask about the internship.  I found out that the winner would mostly be working with Maria at Pink & Chic.  I was so excited to hear this.  This means that we will be working more on the PR side of the industry opposed to design, which is exactly what I want to do.  It sounded like we would be communicating everything between Vladimiro and Maria and be helping with all of the ideas.  Vladimiro is pretty hard to get ahold of with all of his constant traveling but it is definitely a challenge I am up for.  What am amazing opportunity, wish me luck!
