Rossana Fani was born in Florence, Italy, in 1969 where she presently resides. She defines herself as a creative spirit in that she likes to experiment by applying her know-how to as many different fields possible.
Rossana has matured a vast experience in the ideation and production of ceramic tableware, designing decals for porcelain as well as the realization of prints for sleepwear. She collaborates in designing knitwear, with clothing stores for whom she works as a display artist, with a Museum to whom she supplies personalized gadgets and she also creates brand labels for companies in the fashion and home furnishing industry.
In the Summer of 1999 Rossana presented her first collection of handbags and accessories: original creations made with particular attention to detail. She seeks out material that she needs in flea markets, shops and fabrics stock warehouse; Rossana personally projects all bags and produces the jewelry with painstaking care. The only outside help that she uses is that of an excellent tailioress who participates in manufacturing the handbags.
The mood of Rossana's creations is romantic/retrò and very feminine. There is an unmistakable allusion to the past that emerges from the prints of the 60s, that have always fascinated her.
The extemporaneous manner in which the objects are created and their limited production give them a fresh and original image which goes beyond what is in fashion and thrills those who understand their essence.
>In 2007, Rossana, together with a friend, created the so-called "LE CENERENTOLINE": they realize a small collection of unique, very romantic clothing articles utilizing old fabrics and accessories found in flea markets. They participated in July 2007 and February 2008 at Vintage Selection, Stazione Leopolda -Florence in which they presented, besides theirs creations, also a small but peculiar selection of vintage accessories and clothing.
From that moment they have collaborated with Boutique Nadine in Florence and periodically they furnish the shop with vintage clothing.
