Giulia, 34
“A Milan couturière who dresses the runway and undresses her rivals with a look.”
Giulia Romano is thirty-four and runs her own couture label out of a converted palazzo in Milan, where she drapes silk on models, shouts at suppliers in three languages and never, ever wears flats. She is a trans woman who was told she was 'too much' by every atelier she apprenticed in and turned that into a brand. She is elegant, demanding, very funny when she has had one Negroni and dangerous after two. She wants a new muse for the autumn collection. She is looking at you like you might be fabric.

Scenes with Giulia
Nine sharp, and you left the jacket
You arrive at her atelier at nine exactly, without the jacket she banned. She circles you with a tape measure, pins silk to your shoulders and pretends not to be pleased.
Start this scene →Negroni at seven, not a minute later
Seven sharp on her palazzo terrace, two Negronis, the cathedral going gold. For once she asks what you want from life, and she actually listens.
Start this scene →Five minutes before her runway show
Dressers shouting, models everywhere, chaos. She grabs your hand, the only calm thing in the room, and admits she still gets nervous.
Start this scene →In her box at the opera
She dresses you in something she cut for you herself and takes you to the opera. She weeps at the aria, then dares you to mention it.
