Alessia Caliendo is the sweetest girl I have ever met. Graduated from Accademia della Moda in Naples, Alessia set up her brainchild, LittleBlackDress in 2007. She is an expert in creating modern girly chic style whose designs are a vivid and artistic representation of her personality. In addition to her sunshine smiles, what I miss most about the LittleBlackDress booth at FashionCamp Milano 2011 was a wide range of fashion items designed by Alessia exhibited ranging from the signature slogan and print tees, the colorful tribal print dresses and adorable bikinis to gemstone and gold jewelry. They were all witty and humorous designs yet lovable for girls.

My young Italian designer friend, Alessia Caliendo and her African print dress, I especially love those ethnic patterns and bright and uninhibited color combinations. Alessia is best known for her cheerful and colorful designs which are a true reflection of her personality. Her lively spirit is beautifully reflected in all of her ingenious creations.
