MEET THE DESIGNER | ALESSANDRA RINAUDO
What’s on Alessandra Rinaudo’s mind? As Artistic Director of Pronovias, plenty!
Alessandra grew up surrounded fabrics and lace, tape measures and scissors, and has always had a passion for beauty, luxury and elegance. Perhaps you could say she was born to be a bridal designer?
Here’s the answer in her own words...
Growing up among lace and precious fabrics, in her mother’s bridal store, Alessandra Rinaudo, was surrounded by the elegance and refinement of bridal fashion. Her dream has always been to become a bridal designer and this desire came true when she founded Nicole Fashion Group. The international bridal scene immediately fell in love with her unique Italian style and her ability to innovate the tailoring tradition with contemporary shapes and unusual silhouettes. Being Pronovias Chief Artistic Officer is a dream come true for Alessandra.
