GVACCA

Growing up in a conservative, academically focused environment, I found my voice through fashion – bold, maximalist, and unapologetic. In a world where life seemed defined by a straight path, I thrived in challenging conventions, making some uncomfortable with my clothing choices and outspoken personality. Fashion became my outlet, a way to rebel against the expectations and rigidity around me.

My journey took a new turn when I moved to London, a city steeped in self-expression and creative freedom. Here, I evolved both as a person and a designer, refining my approach, dialling back my maximalist extremes to explore subtler, more intentional details. This evolution marked the birth of GVACCA, a brand inspired by reclaiming “Vacca” – Italian slang for “slut” or “bitch” – a term from my youth. To me, “Vacca” represents a woman who lives confidently and courageously, unafraid to embrace her choices.

GVACCA is an embodiment of grit and grace, celebrating autonomy and the pursuit of self-expression without seeking approval. My designs honour those who live unapologetically, constantly navigating dualities and owning their journey. In GVACCA, there’s no single statement piece – the statement is in how each garment is styled, worn, and carried. I create wearable, concise, and expressive pieces that feel personal, empowering the wearer to communicate their individuality through how they wear them. GVACCA is for those who refuse to fit neatly into convention, navigating life on the run, embracing every facet of their truth.
