I receive designers lookbooks everyday, but from time to time one of them will really catch my attention and make my mind wander into a different fashion world. Roberta Furlanetto‘s collection transported me in a magical world of beautifully crafted pieces and interesting geometric textures worn by modern princesses. I thought I’d have a little chat with Roberta to find out more about her designs.

Favourite city?
Paris, as I lived there for many years and I have wonderful memories of this beautiful fashion forward city.
What were you like as a little girl?
A real handful!
At the tender age of three I became smitten with fashion, often borrowing my older sister’s clothes without her permission.
I progressed from making clothes for my dolls to making some for myself and friends who admired my individual style.
I was always an artistic, restless inquisitive little girl creating problems for my teachers and parents. I became bored easily and needed to be constantly challenged.
There is an interview with me today on Searching for Style.
