About me

Creative Director and Chief Product Officer with 23+ years across fashion, luxury and premium consumer businesses. I personally design and develop product across menswear and womenswear, spanning ready-to-wear, knitwear, tailoring, outerwear, footwear, leather goods and accessories.
My work connects brand and product identity with collection architecture, silhouette, proportion, materials, construction, detailing, colour, finishing and technical development, following the product from initial concept through prototyping, fitting, industrialisation and production.
I have built and led collections and product organisations in founder-led and investor-backed businesses, while remaining directly involved in the creative and product process. My experience includes a 21-year ownership cycle building and exiting an Italian luxury brand, followed by Chief Product Officer responsibility for an ultra-luxury menswear platform built from inception.
Through Virgili Studio, I work with founders and leadership teams on creative direction, brand and product development, collection creation, manufacturing systems, repositioning and international growth.
I combine creative authorship with deep technical and manufacturing knowledge, turning ideas and brand narratives into distinctive, executable and commercially coherent
