Gianmarco Lorenzi srl • Full-time

May 1992 - Dec 1996 • 4 yrs 7 mos

In this company I could learn all the basis and secret to build a luxury and complex woman shoe. I was hired as a second footwear designer (to follow also the direction of Mr Gianni Renzi, owner and first designer of the brand). My main tasks were to follow the woman shoes collections, to design new ideas as sketches and also on the lasts. After this, I also had the responsibility to go to the last and heel makers to build the main structure of the shoe. Unfortunately this brand closed but in the 90's it was kind of iconic and I could collaborate with other designers (that used the factory to create also their collections) such as Diego Dolcini, Maud Frizon, Guess, Alberta Ferretti, Versace and many others.
