About ME

I’ve been working in the world of fashion for almost thirty years…

I began my career with a five-year BA programme in fashion design in my native Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Since then, I’ve trained in London College of Fashion/Central St. Martins and University of the Arts London, textile technology, dyeing and printing, jewellery, interior design, personal styling and colour consultancy.  For ten years, I ran my own fashion company in Brazil, designing clothes for my label, ‘Lilli Piovesan’.  My company distributed worldwide with my collections appearing in exclusive boutiques, such as Browns in London, Penelope, Italy, Bon Marche in Paris, also in the United States and Japan. 

Fashion is something I live and breathe.  Since moving to the UK, I’ve become involved in the British scene, not only hanging out at London Fashion Week but meeting fellow designers, manufacturers, and retailers.  I continue to design my own collections, write about fashion, and explore the global industry and its possibilities.
