Ilenia Corti: Jewelry Designer for High Fashion
Ilenia Corti, a jewelry designer from Valenza, Italy, grew up in her family's goldsmith workshop. After a career stall in 2010, she created her first collection on paper for a New York department store, launching her eponymous brand. Her work blends art, fashion, and craftsmanship, inspired by nature and Scandinavian landscapes. Her latest collection, 'Non ti scordar di me' (Forget-me-not), is dedicated to her late mother Angela and created with her father Leonardo.
