Sbarco della Residenza

Sbarco della Residenza

In 2024, self-portrait Residency launched as a platform to support leading independent creatives. The initiative champions best-in-class creativity across all disciplines, offering access to self-portrait’s infrastructure and resources while giving external creatives the freedom to dream, experiment and create on their own terms.

“My ambition has always been to build an inclusive brand—one that prioritises community over competition. Our Residency programme represents the future of genuine partnership, where creatives support and uplift one another rather than viewing each other as rivals.”

“The fashion industry can often be isolating for designers, with brands competing for space and attention. I have been thinking a lot about ways to try to evolve this by looking at modern ways to approach collaboration."
