A course by Gaia Segattini
Gaia Segattini is an Italian fashion designer who grew up between the hills and the sea in the region of Marche. She fell in love with fashion as a little girl and, thanks to her mother, learned to sew and knit from an early age. As a young woman, she decided to take that passion to a professional level and enrolled in the University of Urbino to study fashion design. After graduating, she worked as a consultant for different sportswear and streetwear brands and wrote for magazines like Glamour Italia until she finally started her own blog: Vendetta Uncinetta.
She moved from her blog to Instagram where she built up a significant network of contacts that eventually led her to organizing festivals centered around independent artisan crafts such as Weekendoit in Ancona and the knitting section ""Cucito su di te"" at the Abilmente fair. Her blog, coupled with these events, opened the doors to working with major companies including Enel, Ikea, BMW, and Stefanel. In 2018, she founded Gaia Segattini Knotwear, her own brand devoted to sustainable handcrafted knitwear made in Italy.
