Let introduce myself ⋆
Hi! My name is Giulia Barone, but everyone knows me as Baronsss, and I’m 26 years old.
I like so many things, including cinema, exhibitions, techno music, acrobatic sports, and pasta with tomato sauce (to die for). However, my main areas of interest—also the ones I work in—are graphic design/branding, prject managament, visual design, 3D, fashion design, and illustration (okay, the last one only sometimes, but I’d really like to learn a lot more).
I love independent magazines, hunting down unique clothing and accessories, understanding how they’re made and regenerating them through upcycling. I’m passionate about the history and culture behind things, I go crazy for bold, sharp fonts, and I enjoy reading about the emotions of those who want to share them.
My design aims to be socially engaged as well; in my projects I try to integrate social topics such as mental health, eco-sustainability, feminism, and sex work.

WORK EXPERIENCE
-
I work at SecondLife, a second-hand boutique built around the concept of giving clothes a new life through donation and conscious reuse. The shop curates garments donated by individuals, transforming them into a carefully selected collection that promotes sustainable fashion and responsible consumption.
My role extends beyond retail into content creation and art direction, where I develop visual narratives and digital content that reflect SecondLife’s values. I am also involved in the concept and planning of future events focused on eco-sustainability and fashion design, creating spaces for dialogue, creativity, and community engagement. Through storytelling, design, and experiential projects, my work aims to connect fashion with environmental awareness and contemporary culture.
