CORNELIA BAMERT
Swiss-born and Italian by adoption, she has two passions: fashion and traditional cultures. A Fashion Designer and Art director, she has worked with major fashion houses such as Antonio Marras, Etienne Aigner, Max & Co and Roberto Cavalli, following the philosophy that solidarity becomes a trend. This is what makes up Cornelia Bamert, a designer-creator of a new way of approaching women's fashion. The idea of blending fashion and ethics together in a socially conscious brand was conceived in 2008 with the walkway to Carroussel du Louvre and the birth of the "“Redesign the world by Cornelia Bamert” brand, which merges traditions and brings places to life, while savouring and settling art and culture from the world in a project that integrates and reinterprets reality in respect of each identity.
