Daniela is a multifaceted and versatile individual, actively involved in the worlds of art and fashion. With a solid background in Fashion, Costume, and Set Design, she blends diverse artistic forms, creating works that are striking in their beauty and depth. Her experience in theater tailoring has honed her eye for detail, while working in haute couture ateliers has allowed her to innovate in design, specializing in bridal gowns and costume design. But Daniela doesn't just create: she is also driven by a desire to inspire and make art accessible to all. As a teacher of Costume and Fashion History, she conveys her passion and knowledge, sparking her students' curiosity with lessons that explore different eras and cultures. Her mini collections, inspired by historical, cinematic, and fantasy themes, translate complex concepts into visually captivating creations.

Teaching History of Costume and Fashion, as well as History of Art and Fashion Design, is a way for her to share her passion and knowledge. Her ability to communicate and share her experiences enables her to ignite her students' curiosity and imagination. Each lesson becomes a journey through eras and cultures, allowing students to understand not only the evolution of style, but also the social and historical contexts that have influenced fashion.

Furthermore, her essays explore the connections between fashion, art, costume, and theater, contributing to contemporary cultural debate. Her editorial output includes works such as "The Jacket in History," "History of an Obsession... The Shoe," "Traveling in Ancient Greece," "Isabella d'Este, Caterina de' Medici, Elizabeth I: Influencers Ante Litteram," "Plissè, a Timeless Art," and "The World of Theater and Fashion, an Ancient and Deep Bond." Daniela is, therefore, not only a creator, but also a thinker and an educator, capable of spreading joy and enthusiasm in anyone privileged to meet her.
