Desirée was born and raised in a small town near Venice, Italy. She
began studying fashion at the age of 14, and graduated with a
major in Costume Design when she was 18. She then pursued her
studies in Verona where she got a qualification in Fashion Styling.
This course gave her the opportunity to develop alongside upcoming
Designers from all over the world.
Her first experience as a Costume Designer occured in 2015 at
a resort in Sardinia where she was creating, fitting and remodeling
costumes for actors. Always following her passion, Desirée
started freelancing making costumes for the Italian nightlife.
Wanting to learn English, she moved to the United States between
2017 and 2018 where she attended college. After flying back
to Italy and spending a couple of years in her hometown, she felt
that her career was destined to continue overseas. In 2020, her visa applications were
approved and she flew to Toronto.
Restarting from scratch was a big challenge, but it only took her a
couple of years to get back into her Costume Design business. In
2022, she launched The Cloak Collective.
