Claudia Romana is an experienced designer and stylist. After working for a variety of companies such as Hubert Franco, Giordano Hong Kong and J.Crew she founded her own label, Claudia Romana Enterprises, Inc. under which she designed exclusive resort and golf apparel. Her designs were featured in publications such as The New York Times, Golf for Women, Golf Digest, Shape Magazine, Women’s Sport and Fitness and the book “Golf the Woman’s game.” Her collections were carried by some of the most prestigious country clubs and specialty stores in the US as well as internationally.
In her capacity as creative director she traveled the world for inspiration, to source products and to promote her collections. The places she visited made her rethink her priorities. Products made in one country and shipped accross the oceans to be consumed in yet another have an impact on the lives of the people making them, selling them and using them.
She became more and more aware of the interconnection between the different elements involved in the design and production process. Having always been more interested in timeless style rather than fast paced fashion, she now sees a trend away from mass market to a more individual approach. Her current projects are focused on the beauty of unique, handcrafted items and the responsibility that comes with using precious resources.
Claudia Romana lives in New York, Paris and a small village in Germany called Seefelden.
