She describes her style as free and expressive, inspired by nature and art, with her latest collection reflecting the shapes and textures of trees. She sees creativity as reviving old ideas with new life, and works without strict rituals, focusing on being fully present.
FAVOURITE THING AT HOME
Loreto’s favorite thing at home is her garden, which brings her joy and reflects her love of nature.
