Cinzia Sarcina Momenti D'Arte

At just twenty-five years old, my company already had a dozen employees and was working with the best shops in Milan, Rome, Bologna and Florence. Those were hectic but satisfying years because, in designing real stage sets for the great fashion houses, I was able to unleash all my flair and imagination. I created large theatrical spaces, designed to involved and amaze.
Later, in 1988-1989, I started my own women's clothing line, Keeping the same brand name Kenzia & C. until, in 1996, I opened two shops in Milan, one in Via Moscova and the other one in Via Alessandro Volta.
