Noberasco

Vita. Milanese tailor and a beautiful and highly intelligent woman. She was one of the nine haute couture professionals invited by Giorgini on February 11, 1951, to demonstrate the existence of an Italian style that was uninfluenced by French fashions. According to Maria Pezzi, she was, with Germana Marucelli, ahead of all others on the road to independence from Paris because she was more intelligent and less bourgeois than both her male and female colleagues. She had begun to create garments before the Florentine shows and also knew how to carry out research, for which she had a huge collection of fashion-related newspapers and magazines. At that time it was rare for someone in the trade to have such a forward-looking interest. Her library, once the atelier was closed, was acquired by the jeweler Giuliano Fratti and a very young Walter Albini.
