I think that my Italian origins have influenced my work completely. Being so close to all that art and history is something that in one way or another affects your personality. When I lived in Rome I was always taking tours to churches and museums, it was very stimulating. This research of beauty, in part representing the essence of my life, comes from that.
I lived for a short while in London, Paris, Berlin and I always ended up going back to Rome, I don´t know why. But none of those cities really makes me feel like staying. After all this, I spent almost one year traveling for American Apparel in Canada, the US and Europe, and Copenhagen was the first city where I felt a connection with after long time. Life here is lived in a simple hedonistic way and I love that.
My passion for fashion began since I was a child. I think it was always there.
I´m very into post atomic fashion, I guess I´m very inspired by Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake in their early days but also by the classics 80’s Armani style.

Studio Travel was born to be something different than just a vintage shop. It was born as a content of ideas and activities. A temporary place where all the nice people would go and meet more nice people, listen to good music and have a drink, for one day or max for one week. Now there is a permanent space, it’s a real shop, open every day 11 to 7, it is a place where you can buy clothes. But the concept behind it has not changed. To complement a Versace Shirt, you will have a whole atmosphere, something exclusive which you are part of. All the surroundings constitute an international platform of artists and all kinds of interesting and interested people are able to share thoughts and values.
Anti-banal
All people close to me are involved in Studio Travel in some way or another so there are a lot of us!
I travel to Italy and Europe and it is a very long process because I pick each item one by one. It’s a very tough job but very exciting.
My inspirations come from my everyday life and my imagination. I like to watch people on the street and I like the street a lot, and I like buildings too. I think that all my visual research starts from there.
It is very important but we are focusing more on the real space at the moment.
Hannes, Locke and Malthe are my friends. Locke has a record label called Posh Isolation just next to my store and I met Malthe there. Hannes was a costumer of the store. Lungomare is a translation of a text that Christian from the band Lower and Locke made. I just tried to make it more poetic. The title came up in the studio when we recorded the track and I very much love it.
I´m part of a noise project in which I play a tone generator from the 50´s together with other three girls. Our first performance was for the opening of Nurse with Wound’s concert at Mayhem in Copenaghen.
Next I hope to open a new space with the integration of other products and active ties.
