Francesca Saragaglia

Born in Ohio (USA) and raised in Italy, in a seaside town south of Rome, she has been living in London, since 2000.

A second-generation fashion designer, her mother, Ada, played a large role in inspiring Francesca from a young age.

A childhood passion flowed into grown-up reality upon completing a fashion degree in 2008 at Bournemouth University, UK. On graduation, her first line, "La Dolce Vita" women's wear collection, inspired by the Italian '50s, was an astounding success and gained extensive media exposure in magazines worldwide.

Francesca has since worked side by side with stylists, filmmakers, and designers gaining a variety of skills and a good understanding of the broader fashion market. Her inspiration mainly arises from the Italian heritage and the magical middle east where she has an extensive client base and regular work.

Her most precious creation is without doubt her sister's wedding dress she designed back in 2003, an overwhelming feeling that accompanied every bespoke wedding dress she made ever since. Such joy and pride are the reasons why Francesca decided to pursue her big dream, founding her own bridal brand.
