MY STORY

RICCARDO FERRARIO’S PASSION FOR FASHION BEGAN EARLY, FROM CHILDHOOD: HE HAS ALWAYS SKETCHED WOMEN'S CLOTHING, DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM EVERYTHING AROUND HIM—FASHION MAGAZINES, FILMS, BOOKS, AND VINTAGE OBJECTS FOUND IN HIS GRANDPARENTS’ HOME. AFTER ATTENDING ART SCHOOL, WHERE HE REFINED HIS ILLUSTRATION SKILLS, HE PURSUED A DEGREE IN FASHION DESIGN AT THE POLITECNICO DI MILANO. OVER TIME, HIS PERSONAL STYLE EVOLVED INTO SOMETHING MINIMAL, SENSUAL, AND ESSENTIAL. A NATURAL DRIVE TO EXPERIMENT LED HIM TO DESIGN UNISEX, GENDERLESS PIECES—CLOTHES MEANT TO CELEBRATE EVERY BODY, FREE FROM LABELS. HE THEN WORKED FOR A FRENCH FASHION HOUSE IN MILAN, WHERE HE LEARNED THE TECHNIQUE AND SAVOIR-FAIRE NEEDED TO TURN IDEAS INTO REAL GARMENTS. WITH HIS EPONYMOUS BRAND, RICCARDO AIMS TO CREATE PIECES THAT BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT, ROUTINE AND RELAXATION—CLOTHING THAT MAKES THE WEARER FEEL SPECIAL, BOLD, AND FREE. HIS CREATIVE WORLD IS INSPIRED BY CULT FILMS FROM THE 1950S TO THE 2000S, WITH THE AMBITION TO BRING A TOUCH OF RETRO GLAMOUR INTO A MODERN, CONTEMPORARY VISION.
