Marco Coretti (born in Rome) is an Italian fashion designer.[1] After studying arts he moved to Paris, where he trained as apprentice and then worked as an assistant in haute couture ateliers.[2]
In 1997, he returned to Italy, where he created his first couture accessories and shoes line, gaining interest from both press and celebrities such as Sophia Loren and Madonna.[3][4]
In 1999 the launch of his own brand followed, with an 'extreme white' collection in the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana fashion week: he was praised for the launch of the 'new-chic' style.[5]
In 2001 Béatrice Dalle destroyed a black dress of his worth thousands of euros while closing the runway at the Rome's fashion week.[6][7]
In 2004 he became creative director at Sorelle Fontana; in the following year he was chosen by the Municipality of Rome and AltaRoma as art director of The Ages of Fashion, a project meant for the recovery of Italian haute couture.[citation needed]
He has collaborated with artists such as Carla Accardi, Luigi Ontani, Paola Gandolfi and famous photographers as Gian Paolo Barbieri,[8] Michel Comte, Alberta Tiburzi and others. In 2010 he created the costumes for the Mvula Sungani's show for the fiftieth anniversary of the dancer Raffaele Paganini.[citation needed]
