WELCOME

I'm Pia, a stylist and creative based between New York and London. Before fashion, I was a journalist. After fashion, I'll be an icon.

I've been a resident of the fashion world for 12 years and counting. I've created, critiqued, consulted, styled, forecasted, and directed.

When I'm not styling and directing, I provide creative consulting for luxury fashion brands across the globe. My travels have inspired my first book project, a coffee table book featuring street photography of the most fashionable people waiting for public transit.
