FASHION DESIGN

"Rosaspina Vintage" is a story of three generations of Italian women. Nonna Emanuela, now a spirited 99-year-old, once worked as a seamstress. Whenever her husband returned from his travels at sea, he'd ask her what she wanted as a gift, and without fail, she'd request fabrics. While many of these fabrics found their way into Nonna's creations, the sheer volume of her collection led to numerous pieces being carefully stashed away for decades.


Years later, Alessandra and her mom decided to breathe new life into Nonna's collection. With her blessing, Alessandra designed a collection inspired by the timeless styles of the 1950s and 1960s. Her mom, with her skilled hands, brought her designs to life, sewing approximately 70 pieces, each one a small run or one of a kind.


To their amazement, the debut collection sold out in the first week, captivating audiences worldwide. People loved the story of the three generations of women behind Rosaspina Vintage. Soon, the brand garnered commissions, brand collaborations and features in renowned fashion magazines, and was even displayed at Milan Fashion Week. Three more collections followed, each selling out in no time.


However, as the demands of Alessandra's animation career grew, Rosaspina Vintage had to take a temporary pause. Yet, its legacy continues to inspire, a testament to the enduring bond of family, the power of creative expression and timeless style.
