Serenades of red

My personal style is one that is recognisable. I like visible makeup that’s memorable. Showing your style is a huge part of the life of an artist. It’s not just music. It’s how you dress and what you show that all plays into how you communicate.

Coming from Bologna, a small town in Italy, means everything. I am only 20, so I still live with my parents while studying. The special thing about Bologna is that it has a place where you can go and see the full landscape across the city. It’s breath-taking and helps me understand how small we are in a big world.

Curated by me | Rea

Italian singer, Rea, loves a style that’s eclectic and outside the norm. She is the inspiration for an IKEA Curated by me style board that has bold reds as the centrepiece. We call her curation Serenades of red.

When I move out into my first place, I don’t have many expectations for where I will live. I think that you can organise any place to make it your home.

Red is the colour of love and passion

Include something that reminds you of nature—like things that are colourful but are made of wood. Or add a scattering of plants. Allow yourself to have eclectic influences. It helps you to explore things outside of the norm and keeps your decor from being too sterile. Use red for warmth. It’s the colour of love, passion and sunsets.
