About
Gioanna De Julio was born and raised in Southern California. As a child, she originally wanted to be a scientist but after taking a sewing class in high school, she switched career paths to become a designer. Originally thinking of being a costume designer, she finally decided to be a fashion designer instead and incorporate styling. Her design philosophy has always been "don’t dress to impress but dress to express".Gioanna's main focus is women's and men's ready-to wear clothing but is also interested in fashion styling. She is inspired by many things which allows her to not solely focus on a specific type of fabric, print, graphic, season, and color range. As a designer she aims to be as sustainable as possible with the creation of her design process by using pattern-making in digital format and recycling fabric remains. She enjoys draping but prefers structure.
This collection is inspired by the idea of madness from the manga Soul Eater.
