His last name might be a number, but his work is the only thing that you should consider to measure in his life. Fabio Quaranta is a mature Italian designer that once understood how to deal with experimentation in the fashion world, how to make a full-of-soul outfit from a mental question mark.

He is authentic as the same time as he is courageous – his final pieces equal the minimal and conscious mirage always needed in life.

I can look for days, months, years, but “in the end true love finds you.”
As important as the imagination for who devotes to a creative process.
Trying to be timeless but always desirable.
“To turn a Homeless into a Prince for a while.”
I cannot do anything else.
Just as a good designer.
