Street style: Gaia Repossi (Jewelry designer)

As Artistic Director and the only daughter of Alberto Repossi, Gaia Repossi is responsible for developing collections for the storied house founded by her great grandfather. 

With a degree in Fine Arts and a masters in Archaeology and Anthropology, Repossi is inspired by ethnic silhouettes and tribal adornment coupled with contemporary art. 

Using this knowledge, she is able to leave behind conventional design while still remaining true to the traditions of old world craftsmanship. 

The skills of artisans are employed with a youthful sensibility and applied ancient references. 

Repossi collaborated with fashion’s best young talent including Alexander Wang and Joseph Altuzarra, as well as cast friends as muses and engaged artist and sculptors in the creative process. (http://www.repossi.com)
