francesca barbarossa

fashion/prop stylist

Raised in Italy, I was exposed to a variety of styles and cultures that I incorporated into my own style today.It was the love of fashion that brought me to the main land, Tuscany where I began my career as a sales person in a boutique in the centre of Florence. I never even considered becoming a fashion stylist professionally, but all my clients and co-workers were coming to me for style advice or to help them re-vamp their wardrobe. All this lead me to visual merchandising.
