AVIAM is an Italian brand founded in 2022 by the fashion designer Paola D’antonio.
Her passion for fashion started when she was a little girls. At the age of seven, she asked her grandmother
to sew a crochet co-ord set for her.
After her graduation at the IUAD in Naples with a final dissertation on sustainable fashion materials, she
took a master degree in fashion design at the Marangoni institute in Milan. After different experiences
abroad, she came back to her hometown in Italy and she founded AVIAM.

Aviam

The essence and image of the brand reflects the history and personal background of the designer. The
name has a precise meaning: it represents a tribute to his grandmother, Aviam is in fact a Latin word that
means grandmother.
“She gave me a sewing machine as a present, it was the first one I ever had. She was my muse and my
number 1 fan. I used to love opening her wardrobe and borrowing her clothes. Every dress or bag had a
story and I used to listen to every single one of them.
I would like my bags to last, pass from hand to hand, from grandmother to grandaughter “
