Raised as a first generation Italian in both Boston, Massachusetts and Falmouth, Maine, Giuliana has always shown self expression whether it was through dance, visual art, or design. In 2008, she moved to New York to begin her studies at Parsons School of Design, and in 2010 completed the knitwear program at Central Saint Martins in London. After graduating in 2012 with a BFA in Fashion Design, Giuliana developed her own line "Giuliana Leila" for Anthropologie, under Linda Trau's Studio. Through her studies, work experiences, travel, dance and yoga practice, Giuliana has developed her individual aesthetic in design; finding a balance between the tradition of craft and innovations of the future - the common thread woven through her work.
