My name is Federica, a fashion creativity seeker, born and raised in the province Treviso, Italy. Even though I come from a small corner of Italy, I have always been fascinated by different cultures and countries around the world.
Since childhood, fashion has been a natural part of my life. My favorite “toys” were mother-of-pearl buttons, balls of wool and cashmere, and fashion magazines. This passion was inspired by my mother, who has always worked in the knitwear industry, surrounding me with fabrics, textures, and creativity from a very early age.
As I grew older, my interest in fashion continued to develop. However, I have never considered myself a fashion victim. Instead, I see fashion as a way to express individuality and create my own personal style. To me, fashion is a form of art, much like painting or sculpture, and what fascinates me most is its creative side.
In 2011, I decided to share my perspective and passion for fashion by creating Italianist.com. The name Italianist came quite naturally, as I wanted to highlight my Italian roots and celebrate the global influence of Italian fashion. In my view, no other country combines creativity, talent, and artistic heritage quite like Italy.
Italianist began as a blog and continues to evolve as a social media space dedicated to discovering creativity around the world. It highlights emerging designers, explores the latest fashion trends, covers major fashion events and art exhibitions, and shares stories from my travels.
Through Italianist, I aim to connect style, culture, and global inspiration.
