London’s Brazilian Star Heads to Florence

“I am so honoured to be the next Pitti women’s guest designer,” Casasola told us today. “It’s a great opportunity to create an environment around my designs and tell the story of who the Barbara Casasola woman is.”
Born in Brazil but based in London, Casasola is a rising star of the city’s Fashion Week. A former Central Saint Martins student, she quickly attracted the attention of Roberto Cavalli who enlisted her to his womenswear team as soon as she graduated.
