FLAMINIA SACCUCI INTERVIEW

Flaminia Saccucci is a print designer from Rome who moved at 19 to London to study fashion at Saint Martins. She interned at Alberta Ferretti, Viktor & Rolf and Balmain. Now Flaminia  just graduated winning the L’ Oréal  Young Professional Talent Award - and her collection was nominated the best among all the graduates and featured on Vogue U.K and BOF. Speaking with BoF, the young designer described her aesthetic as “sharp, clean, but with a twist, and always balanced,” something which was particularly evident in the way her breakthrough collection harmoniously blended synthetic materials with natural florals.

Following her successful debut, Flaminia will be considering her options carefully before making any major career decisions, such as starting her own label or joining a design house.
