How Alan Crocetti breaks the codes of jewelry

An entry into creation through clothing

Alan Crocetti is what is called a child of the ball. In Belo Horizonte, a city in southeastern Brazil where he was born and raised, his parents run a knitting factory that makes knitwear for several brands. The young boy then discovers the world of fashion through the back door, spending a lot of time freely testing different crafts and making his own textiles. Always on the alert, his curiosity encourages him to explore many fields and to sketch the products of his imagination on paper: clothing, architecture and even jewellery, the budding designer is passionate about body adornments and his environment. A desire that first led him to a fashion school in Brazil, then prompted him to leave his country to settle in Rome where part of his family lives.

Alan Crocetti quickly feels frustrated at not being able to develop an overall vision, which would extend into the accessories.

But it was when Alan Crocetti was accepted at Central Saint Martins that his life changed. In this prestigious London school which has trained the greatest designers of our time – from Alexander McQueen to Phoebe Philo – the young man designs women's ready-to-wear collections, but quickly feels frustrated at not being able to develop a vision. overall, which would extend into the accessories. He then began to experiment with everything he found around him, down to simple iron coat hangers: it was then that he created his first jewel of silver and pearls. If the young designer stays in school until his last year, he will not graduate, preferring to focus on his own jewelry label which he launched in 2014.
