Beauty is not static. That is the sentiment held by women’s fashion designer, Daniel Del Core, whose clothing is known for its mutant combination of fashion and nature. He creates his designs out of inspiration from the moss, molds, fungi, mushrooms, and all of earth’s forever-growing entities that we find around us and right under our feet when we step outside.

Del Core is a 33-year-old fashion designer. He was born in Germany and is currently based in Milan, Italy. At 16-years-old, he left Germany to study ceramics, sculpture, and art in Italy, but later decided to study visual arts, fashion, and design at the design school, Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. There, he worked as an intern for some of the world’s most famous fashion brands like Dolce and Gabbana and Versace. His studies eventually led him to become the VIP designer of Gucci under the company’s creative designer, Alessandro Michele. Del Core has had the opportunity to dress celebrities like Lana Del Rey and Bjork while at Gucci.
