Originally a fashion photographer,
Valentina Oppezzo captured the fashion creations of designers both here, and in her native Italy.However, a few years back, lifestyle and environmental cause, ignited a change for her. No longer did she as a vegetarian, and eco conscious thinker, wanted or had the desire to photograph fashion designs utilizing animal based materials, as matter of fact, she evolved a step further, She began to design her own clothing, purses and accessories line, and as the saying goes, "a star was born". Colorful and urban chic, awesome detail, with materials all non organic, Valentina is a new force in the fashion world, and a nice and gracious person. I had the pleasure of capturing her collection at the Atlantic City Fashion Week F/W 2015, and also at the
Angelman Syndrome FDC Collections Fashion Showcase
in NYC, where I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with her. Bravo Valentina!! Click on the pictures to see the entire Oppezzo collections.
