Versatile Fashion Professional with 12+ years' experience spanning Luxury, Performance, Premium, and High Street segments. My journey started as a Designer, offering me a unique perspective on market demands and a profound understanding of fashion's evolving landscape. Transitioning into recruiting in 2015, I swiftly ascended from a Researcher to a Senior Consultant in an agency setup. Establishing strong relationships with top-tier brands such as GUCCI, Dries Van Noten, and more, I've consistently delivered exceptional talent acquisition solutions. The transition from agency to in-house roles has been seamless and rewarding. From designing for major labels to excelling in Talent Acquisition at Burberry, Tally Weijl, and Ports1961, I bring a unique blend of industry insight and recruitment prowess. Skilled in identifying top talent, my goal is to continually evolve within Talent Acquisition, adding value to brands I deeply connect with.

Carlotta was an integral part of the Ignata International Fashion team. From day one, she immediately started to add value by bringing her industry experience and technical knowledge. She had successfully progressed from researcher through to Senior Consultant level in a record time. I strongly believe that Carlotta's passion, dedication and perseverance have set her aside from the rest of the competitors and her natural ability to build genuine trustworthy relationships with people, makes her an highly valuable partner to anyone. I could not recommend Carlotta more! I'm grateful to have met her in a professional setting and even happier to have reached the friendship that we have now.

I wholeheartedly recommend Carlotta to anyone seeking exceptional recruitment services.
