A calling for fashion took Emiliano from engineering to runways, glamour and success. “I have always looked for harmony, beauty, sensitivity and sensuality in the people and things I encounter.” he explains, it seems ages ago since his first collection, an ode to his youth. Now as the Creative Director for ‘La Perla’ he confessed to have a motto this year, to always have fun in everything and anything he does.
