With Fabrique since 2024 7 works Former ZIMMERMANN and Dior couture designer, specializing in romantic, luxurious beaded embroidery and prints. Trained at Maison Lesage atelier, with mastery in translating classical art into ethereal craftsmanship. Marangoni graduate.

Inspiration

Giovannini's "Beyond Borders" collection started with Italian writer Agnese Grieco's words about sirens and blurred boundaries. Her artistic touchstones include Monet's expansive Water Lilies and Waterhouse's ethereal nymphs—inspirations that manifest in flowing fabrics capturing spring's humid atmosphere. She balances this romanticism with clean, modern lines, anchoring her signature floral embroidery in contemporary structure. From toile to finished piece, she builds each garment through careful iteration—thread by thread, fabric by fabric—creating wearable art that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern.

Background

Former ZIMMERMANN and Dior couture designer, specializing in romantic, luxurious beaded embroidery and prints. Trained at Maison Lesage atelier, with mastery in translating classical art into ethereal craftsmanship. Marangoni graduate.

For Isabella Giovannini, ancient craft techniques are a bridge to modern, ethereal beauty. The Paris-based designer transforms classical inspirations into pieces so light they seem to float—a striking contrast to the intensive handwork that creates them. Her decade-long journey began at Italy's Marangoni Institute, continued through a master's at Rome's Accademia di Costume e di Moda, and reached a pivotal point at Chanel's coveted Maison Lesage workshop—one of the fashion house's seven elite ateliers—where she mastered high embroidery techniques that would define her aesthetic.

At Dior, Giovannini refined her vision while working directly with the creative director. Her haute couture designs merged precise tailoring with intricate embroidery, establishing her reputation for meticulous craftsmanship. "The transition to ZIMMERMANN marked a turning point," she might say, where her work embraced a more luxurious romanticism. On runways, her dreamlike creations moved with deliberate grace—each piece a testament to her technical prowess while maintaining an unexpected lightness.

Giovannini's "Beyond Borders" collection draws from Italian writer Agnese Grieco's words: "Boundaries for sirens are blurred, liquid-like and airy, because sirens once dwelled in the sky." This conceptual starting point perfectly reflects her process—from toile to finished garment, she builds each piece layer by layer, thread by thread. "It's like magic," she might describe, watching romantic ideas materialize from history into wearable art. Her hands transform sketches into reality with patient precision, creating pieces that feel both timeless and distinctly contemporary.
