Speaker Bio
Giuliano Calza, fondatore e direttore creativo di GCDS, è uno dei più giovani designer italiani a essersi distinto sul panorama globale della moda. Dopo una laurea in scienze politiche a L’Orientale di Napoli e una in marketing, Giuliano Calza si trasferisce a Shanghai, dove frequenta l’università, per poi tornarci quattro anni più tardi, lavorando come consulente d’immagine in diversi settori. Giuliano testa il mercato cinese, impara il mandarino e vede il futuro che avanza sotto forma di maxi logo stampato. In Cina immagina e realizza le prime felpe e calze GCDS che, una volta tornato in Italia, vende online: i capi vanno sold-out. Così la sua personale idea italiana di street style si trasforma in realtà. Seguono le collezioni, l’attenzione di numerose star e l’invito alla New York Fashion Week. È il 2017 e su una passerella rosa shocking avviene il debutto internazionale. Da allora, GCDS continua a esportare la moda made in Italy nel mondo con collezioni sempre più dirompenti e con le sue boutique monomarca.

The international debut took place in 2017, on a shocking pink catwalk. Since then, GCDS has continued to export made-in-Italy fashion around the world with increasingly disruptive collections and its single-brand boutiques.
