PARMA–Architect Federica Aimi spent her formative years in Venice, where she developed her refined style and affinity for glass accents, rich textiles and Oriental art.
Her wardrobe is as varied as her art collection – a menagerie of mementos found in antique boutiques, Milan vintage auctions and even the occasional piece from various flea markets.
In her studio apartment, situated in the northern Italian city of Parma, Federica shows us her collection of heirloom necklaces and bracelets tucked away in elaborate Chinese and Liberty-era French jewelery boxes and other pieces – works of art like the “Variable Geometry Necklace” designed by Italian architect and designer AG Fronzoni or the paper jewelery by Argentinian designer Ana Hagopian.
Her elegance is the antithesis of mainstream and her wardrobe is a treasure chest that conjures memories of travels and family, as well as fashionable works of art.
