I'm thrilled to share that my latest article has been featured in Elysium Magazine, exploring the powerful intersection between art, architecture, and fashion and how these worlds continually inform and elevate one another.

As both an artist and an architect, I believe it is essential to draw inspiration from everywhere, from the elegance of a Renaissance dome to the drape of couture fabric, from the rhythm of music to the craftsmanship of a designer handbag. Creativity doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It thrives when we allow different disciplines to spark new ways of thinking, seeing, and making.

In the piece, I reflect on the influences of Florence, Perugia, and Milan, and a recent creative dialogue with my friend and fellow architect-fashion designer, Michele Chiocciolini. His work is a beautiful example of how architectural principles can be translated into wearable design.

Whether we’re sketching a façade or tailoring a garment, design is a universal language, and as architects, staying open to inspiration from across the creative spectrum is what keeps our work original, relevant, and human.
