Clothing has always been part of her world, her mother made her garments since childhood, and together they began designing dresses for fun. That’s how Epitaph Studio was born: a brand for the cool, punky, fun girl in all of us. It’s evolved over time but stays true to its craftsmanship. She met Benedetta in Madrid and instantly saw her talent; with this project, she feels Benedetta has created something deeply authentic and true to her values.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOURSELF IN THREE WORDS?

I think of myself as a very curious person, emotional and very persistent.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR STYLE?

Style: I would say a mix of comfy, bold and fun.

AS YOU MENTION ON THE EPITAPH BRAND: WELCOME TO MY WORLD, WELCOME TO OUR WORLD. HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THIS WORLD IN A SENTENCE?

Epitaph Studio was born to create pieces that feed your soul and make you feel special (and a badass). Epitaph world is creative, fun, endless, cause we are all like that, aren't we?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CITY FOR FASHION, FOOD AND CULTURE?

Madrid, my favorite place to sit and obverse is Gran Via right in front of the Schweppes building.

TELL US: WHAT'S YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE SONG THAT MAKES YOU DANCE LIKE CRAZY WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING?

Any Quevedo, but being super honest, anything from Quevedo to Mumford and Sons.

WHAT DOES FASHION MEAN TO YOU, AND WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH IT?

I started to love fashion when I was a teenager, pictures of fashion shows were all about in my inspo folder. Lucky me, I´ve been able to dive deep into this industry and work on it as a creative producer first, Casting Director now, but also in a more creative way with my own brand.

ALL YOUR MEDIA PRESENCE REFLECTS ON ONE BIG WORD: DREAMING AND EVEN HAVING AN EPITAPH TEE WITH THE SLOGAN "DREAMING AWAY". HOW HAS THIS WORD REFLECTED IN YOUR CARRER?

I am a dreamer and I never give up. I may not end up achieving whatever I set my mind to, but it´s the journey what brings you the dreams, the ones you dreamt about and the ones you didn´t. Dreaming away for me is to never settle, to always keep going and to follow your dreams cause you never know where they may take you.

EACH ONE OF US IS CONSTANTLY LIVING A GENTLE REVOLUTION. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURS?

Working on my emotions has been my gentle revolution, realizing that being honest with yourself, stop, listen and work on your soul is the most important thing you can do.
