Veronica Belli: my biggest ambition is to tell something through my projects.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background.

Since I was a child, I have always been attracted to art, fashion, photography and reading. Everything that surrounds me was, and still is for me, a source of inspiration.

My course of study began in a professional tailoring school, which did not give me the results I hoped to obtain, however. For this reason, after a few years of working in a clothing boutique, I decided to continue my studies and specialize in fashion styling.

How is working in fashion different today than from when you started out?

In the historical moment we are experiencing we certainly have more difficulties and precariousness than in the past. Everything can change from moment to moment and this makes organizing and producing a photo shoot more complex.

Despite this, I think that in life there will always be obstacles to overcome and the only thing to do is to continue to believe in what you want and give it everything to make it possible.

What do you want to achieve through fashion?

Surely, my biggest ambition is to tell something through my projects.

I would like that those who look at them could experience a little journey in my world and feel represented or inspired by what they see. In my own little, I hope to leave a unique and recognizable mark.

Are there particular issues within the fashion industry that concern you? If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?

One of the main problems of the fashion industry is the environmental and social impact that it produces. If I could change something, I would establish mandatory guidelines to follow, which respect more the environment and the workers.

In your daily routine, what resources do you like to learn new things about art, fashion?

As I said, I believe that everything that surrounds us, from art, to music or photography, contributes to making us learn something new. My favourite way to learn is to travel. Through this experience, you can discover new cultures, broaden your vision and understand different realities. In my opinion, this is the best way to enrich my culture and my knowledge and it is a constant source of inspiration.

What's the most important thing you want your potential clients to know about you?

That I am an ambitious and meticulous person. When I have to finish a task, I want to achieve a result that makes me proud, but also follows the directives. I have a sunny and optimistic personality, but I don’t give up easily in the face of difficulties, on the contrary, I always have a solution.

If you could say one thing to someone younger who looks up to you, what would you say?

 Always believe in your dreams and work hard to achieve them!

What does life look like for you now and where do you see yourself in the future?

I am only at the beginning of my career, so I hope to have many different experiences in my future. I can't wait to get back to travel, to be able to collaborate with new artists and never stop learning.

My favourite thing about this job is that it allows you to reinvent yourself every day and push yourself beyond your limits, giving you the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
