Serena Tibaldi
From Benevento, 42, after a road accident (a degree in law), she decides to follow her passion for fashion to the full.
She made her debut as a slave-intern at Cosmopolitan, and then went on as assistant first and then stylist at Io Donna. There she began her first experiments with writing, which became the focus of her work once he moved to Velvet.
The idea after all is not so bad, given that today she is the Fashion Editor of La Repubblica and its weekly issue "D": writes about fashion shows, customs, society, manias, myths and stories. There are a lot of things to say about this world!
