Ethical & sustainable designers: Eva Zingoni

Eva Zingoni is described as 'a traveler, a personality with boundless curiosity, eclectic taste and cultivated independence'. After completing a dressmaking apprenticeship in 2001 at the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM), Zingoni went onto design for the Studio Berçot. She then went on to translate trends for Li Edelkoort and Ralph Lauren, before working for six years at Balenciaga. Initially responsible for re-editions, Eva was quickly promoted and put in charge of “special requests”, traveling the world acting as the liaison between Nicolas Ghesquiere’s designs and red-carpet clients such as Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek. In 2008, Eva Zingoni created her own collection. Her aim is to use her extensive couture experience to promote a different fashion, an ethical fashion.
