Hi, I'm Francesco

Designer |

I’m a New York-based fashion and accessories designer passioned in art, fashion, style, photography, sustainability, innovation, and a keen eye for detail. 

About Me

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about drawing, art, fashion, and creating paper outfits. Growing up in Foligno and Spoleto, Italy—two cities rich in history, art, and culture—only fueled this passion.

Despite my academic path leading me to graduate as a chef, my dreams and vision were always aligned with fashion. This passion landed me a job at one of the trendiest boutiques of the moment. However, my ambitions pushed me further. Secretly, I took the entrance exam for the prestigious Academy of Costume and Fashion and, with excellent scores and a strong belief in myself, I graduated from the Academy.

Right after graduation, I joined the La.i.pe team as the designer for Cromia handbags, an internationally renowned Italian leather goods company. Working with Cromia expanded my vision, and my creations were worn by celebrities like Elena Cucci at the Venice Film Festival, Sara Lazzaro, and Giulia de Lellis. I also had the opportunity to collaborate with designers like Michele Chiocciolini, Amedeo Piccione, and singer Syria.

In 2019, I made a significant move to New York City. Enamored by this city of endless opportunities, I brought more visions to life, ultimately leading to the creation of my own brand.

Pimpinicchio New York

The brand was born from a deep-seated passion for creating and bringing something unique to life. In Italy, I began crafting bespoke, handmade pieces tailored to my clients, allowing their personalities to shine through while expanding my creative vision. Upon moving, I chose to fully embrace my passion and skills, founding a brand that proudly carries my surname in honor of my grandfather. The designs of our products embody my boldness and freedom of expression, and I aim to instill that same sense of strength, confidence, and individuality in my customers. I want them to feel empowered to express themselves boldly, without worrying about others’ opinions.
