MILAN, ITALY / 2023 – 2026 / 44 LABEL GROUP – IMAGE DIRECTOR
As Image Director at 44 LABEL GROUP, I led the brand’s visual direction across fashion, music, and global communications, overseeing everything from brand identity and seasonal collections to international campaigns, runway presentations, and live experiences.
During my tenure, I directed and designed visual communication for 10 seasonal collections, including runway shows and activations during Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, collaborating with talents such as Vittoria Ceretti, Mona Tougaard, Anyma, UFO361, and Sven Marquardt. The brand established a global retail presence across 80+ premium stockists, including Selfridges, H.Lorenzo, The Webster, Isetan, GR8, Antonioli, and Harvey Nichols.Working closely with founders Max Kobosil, Matteo Milleri, and Claudio Antonioli, I was responsible for developing and maintaining a cohesive visual identity across all brand touchpoints. Beyond fashion, my work extended to the record label and its international events division, creating visual symbolism, graphics, and large-display assets for events reaching tens of thousands of attendees worldwide.
MILAN, ITALY / 2022 – 2023 / 44 LABEL GROUP – ART DIRECTOR & BRAND MANAGERWhat began as a personal creative collaboration with my friend Max Kobosil on R LABEL GROUP, an underground electronic music label founded in Berlin in 2013, gradually evolved into something much bigger.
I helped shape and develop the label’s visual identity, designing everything from logotypes and bespoke typography to record artwork, merchandise, and brand communications.
As the project evolved into 44 LABEL GROUP, a contemporary fashion label backed by Antonioli Group, my involvement grew alongside it. What started as an independent creative collaboration became a full-time responsibility, ultimately leading to my promotion to Image Director, overseeing the brand’s entire visual direction.
