Lorenzo Seghezzi was born in Milan in June 1997, growing up in a family that celebrated creativity and encouraged a deep exploration of the arts. From a young age, Lorenzo was captivated by drawing, painting, and experimenting with various materials. These early experiences laid the foundation for a passion that would later define their career. Among their fondest childhood memories is designing dresses from towels and curtains for their younger sister and themselves—an early sign of the creativity that would flourish into a lifelong dedication to fashion.
Lorenzo’s journey into the world of fashion was not without its challenges. Navigating life as a queer individual from a young age, they courageously came out to their family at the age of 13. With their unwavering support, they honed their artistic skills at the Liceo Artistico di Brera, where their passion for fashion and tailoring was ignited. This led them to pursue a BA in Fashion Design at NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, a decision that would further cement their place in the fashion world.
In late 2019, Lorenzo graduated with honors, presenting a thesis on the queer revolution in Italy during the 80s and 90s. The collection’s debut at Alta Roma, Rome’s prestigious high fashion week, in early 2020 marked a significant milestone in their career.
Growing up in the vibrant Milanese nightlife, surrounded by drag and burlesque performers, Lorenzo was always intrigued by the craftsmanship that goes into corset making. However, they were disappointed to discover that this art was not part of their formal education in fashion school. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, Lorenzo seized the opportunity to teach themselves how to make corsets. With only books, YouTube tutorials, blogs, and the chance to study their friends’ corsets as resources, Lorenzo’s dedication paid off, and they became a skilled corset maker.
The onset of the pandemic brought unexpected challenges, yet Lorenzo’s creative spirit remained undeterred. As their reputation grew, so did their brand’s reach. By the end of 2020, their designs were being sold globally through this online store, featured in top fashion magazines, and worn by celebrities and queer icons alike.
In 2022, Lorenzo discovered a new passion for teaching. They began with corsetry workshops at NABA and soon expanded their teaching repertoire to other prestigious fashion schools such as AFOL Moda, ACOF Moda, and, starting in January 2025, IED Milano. Lorenzo continues to inspire and shape the next generation of designers with their expertise and unique perspective.
When they're not designing, Lorenzo can be found tending to their beloved plants—especially carnivorous plants and staghorn ferns—hanging out with their cat Mogu Mogu, and rewatching their favorite movie, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover by Peter Greenaway.
PIETRO

Since 2019, they have been behind most of our photos and videos, using their artistic vision to capture the essence of what we stand for. Their ability to translate our ideas into stunning visual made them an irreplaceable part of our journey.
