Meet the CEO
Ciao to all, I am Leda Di Marti, Italian technical fashion designer. I graduated in Rome at the Academia Costume e Moda, and I am the co-founder of Maelle.
I have 15 years of experience in the fashion industry as a brand consultant for several small, medium and established brands. I am proud to have gathered an overall vision of the fashion industry (with a focus on prêt-à-porter, prêt-a-couture and haute couture).
I moved to NYC soon after my graduation to work for Marc Jacbos, Carolina Herrera and Kate Spade, gaining important knowledge and experience about commercial fashion, prêt-a-portrait and haute couture. I subsequently began a career as an independent designer in high fashion, with my own company, Fashion Explained, creating bridal and evening dresses which transcended into my own brand, Leda Di Marti, founded in 2017.
My passion for the industry and responsibilities as an entrepreneur have also led me to attend the biggest fashion fairs worldwide, over the span of 10 years (both brand fairs and supplier fairs, such as Scoop London, Milano Unica, White Milano, Coterie NYC and Première Vision Paris, Pitti Immagine Firenze), through which I have established a network of professionals that have helped me in successfully positioning a product in the market.


Only if you do it, you can teach it
Leda, Martina and Elisa have lived so many fashion weeks and events and visited so many trade shows.
Not only, Leda and Martina are expert in their fields, but they continue to grow and to live the world they belong to.
