From a very young age, Alessio was taught to hand sew by her grandmother, Helen. She developed a passion for making clothes and, following a University of The Arts Foundation Diploma at London College of Fashion, she went on to achieve a First Class Honours BA in Theatre and Screen: Costume Interpretation. She has spent time working in Haute Couture ateliers and has been fortunate to work for Mr Pearl, considered the most renowned corsetier in the world.
