My name is Leonardo Paoli. After more than 12 years of career as a professional dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, I decided to follow another great passion of mine: the fashion. I attended the course of Digital Fashion Stylist by IFDA (Italian Fashion and Design Academy), in order to bring to the public a new vision of fashion, born from the intertwining of stylistic research and the expressive power of the body. Since I was a child, fashion has been a great passion of mine along with dance. During my career as a dancer, I have constantly accompanied the different stages of productions backstage and on stage, both as a performer and as a choreographer, so I am familiar with the organisation and implementation of creative processes, whether it be costume fittings, stage set-up or team supervision. In this way, I honed my eye, carefully observing costume combinations with extraordinary make-up and hairstyles, and experimenting with fashion as a means of 'staging'. To date, having completed my training at the Academy as a Fashion StylistI mainly focus my work on finding that fluid harmony that is conveyed by the eyes, bodies and expressions of my models. I personally take care of researching graphically, stylistically and conceptually every aspect of my idea, to best enhance the message I want to convey to the public. For me, the worlds of theatre and fashion are very close in many ways. Both the theatre stage and fashion shows and advertising campaigns are the perfect result of a solid creative idea. I am very motivated to bring my different experiences to bear on my work of Stylist and to improve myself every day. I am always ready for new ideas, creations and projects.
Thank you very much IFDA because thanks to this path I found a new way to express myself!
