Maria Naclerio

I am an Italian designer with 12 years experience, specialising in contemporary womenswear design; trend prediction and concept design. This has involved visit fairs as Milano Unica, Pitti filati Linea pelle and Premiere vision Paris and to research trends in London, and Paris. Developing colour palettes; identifying and building ranges and brand identity along with designing women's Apparel. I have worked across multi-target brands as Marella for the line ibues (ibues club, Lato B ) and the Japanese Five foxes for the lines Come ca du mode and Artisan, Cavalli Gym, Gabriella Frattini Knitwear and the German Maternitywear QueSeraMaternity as a senior design.

I am interested in the way a brand focuses on the design identity and lifestyle, how the design is defined from fabric or design details, right through to the customer. My experience gives me a wide knowledge of different areas to provide a total look collection: woven, jersey and knitwear.I love what I do with a passion and enjoy the challenges that arise when aspiration and fantasy meet commercial design.
