Gioia Bini

Gioia Bini spent her early years among the nomadic Tuareg in sub-Saharan Africa – the desert jewels of the Tuareg and the draped Dutch wax patterned cloth worn by women in Africa were her earliest experiences of dressing and inspire her designs today. All of Bini’s dresses are ethically created in Florence – her now home – but she sources the fabrics from all over the world while on her travels: silks from Bangkok and Istanbul, cottons and linens from Italy, and Dutch wax prints from Africa.
