When asked if there is a limit to creativity, Ilaria Soncini will tell you that the only limit is in your head. Not surprisingly, she embraced a profession that enables her to manifest her visionary imagination in skilfully crafted headpieces. Ilaria’s path was written in her genes: “My mother runs a graphic design business and my father is a tailor and a collector,” she says. “They taught me that the best thing in life is to be passionate about something and to make it happen.” After graduating in art and visual communication at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Ilaria moved to Berlin, where she lived for ten inspiring years, working with the likes of French costume designer Odile Hautemulle and Fiona Bennett, Germany's most talented and influential milliner.
