Francesco Murano on Designing for Beyoncé, Rafael Pavarotti and Independence | Fashion Forensics

Very few designers can say that Beyoncé was their first ever client, and for Italian designer Francesco Murano that became the reality right after showcasing his very first debut collection in Milan, freshly out of university. Starting out in ceramics, Murano graduated in 2019 from Istituto Europeo di Design, and his seductive body-sculpting designs immediately propelled him to become one of the most exciting young designers across fashion. Mere two weeks after showcasing his graduate collection, Beyoncé's stylist, Zerina Akers, got in touch with Murano and became his very first client, thrusting him into creating the roots of his made-to-measure business. Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, he shares how the past 5 years have propelled his brand, what it means to be an LVMH Prize finalist, and how his love for architecture is at the core of his creation.
