Caterina Mattevi
I’m a Fashion Designer with experience in womenswear, knitwear, and technical design, blending creativity with precision and a strong interest in sustainability and contemporary aesthetics. After graduating from Politecnico di Milano, I gained hands-on industry experience at Acne Studios and later at ICICLE, where I contributed to design projects with a focus on materials, construction, and storytelling. My background also includes several years in the audiovisual sector, where I worked on video and photography projects ranging from independent productions to commercial campaigns. This experience sharpened my eye for visual storytelling and taught me to navigate different creative environments with flexibility and initiative. I thrive at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and new media, and I’m always looking for opportunities to collaborate on projects that connect innovation with cultural depth.
