Hi, I’m Carlotta

Your Fashion Yin to Your Yang

With over 20 years in the fashion industry I’ve had the honour of showcasing my collections on the runways of Milan, Paris, New York, Moscow, and London Fashion Week. My designs have been worn by icons like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Sienna Miller, and featured in top publications such as Vogue.co.uk, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, ElleUK.com, WWD, Drapers Records, and Glamour. These milestones, along with global sales and grants from the British Fashion Council, earned me the distinction of being recognised as a Gold Visa Designer.

I’ve experienced the fashion world from every angle—traveling the globe for trade shows, fabric expos, and sourcing the perfect materials. I’ve mastered the art of designing, developing, producing, and building brands from the ground up, including two of my own. The journey hasn’t been without its challenges; I’ve lived through the highs, the lows, and plenty of “what was I thinking?” moments.

Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you. Whether it’s insider tips, access to my trusted network of suppliers, factories, PR pros, and industry experts, or practical tools and strategies, I’m ready to help you take your brand to the next level.

Starting your brand? Scaling it? Making your mark? Let’s make it happen together—and maybe share a laugh along the way. Fashion is serious business, but who says we can’t enjoy the ride?
