We had the good fortune of connecting with Veronica Manzo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Veronica, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve always wanted to be independent and I think there’s nothing more rewarding than reaching a challenge on my own and seeing results

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
i’m grateful for what i’ve achieved at my age alone, but i still have a big mountain to climb, my mum used to tell me that signeno clothes has been a passion since i was little, it’s a passion i’ve had since birth, what i want to represent as fashion is the freedom of thought and expression i want to have a voice through fashion, launch concepts i don’t want to limit myself to creating looks just to dress, i want each of my clothes to shout a concept. obviously in fashion I’m still in its infancy and one of the lessons I’ve learned is that no one gives you anything and that people slowly get used to new concepts but that in the end, step by step, their mind molds itself with you, however much it’s about my modeling career, the lessons I’ve learned and continue to learn never end, it’s a beautiful and frustrating job because you always have to deal with comparisons of standards the search for perfection which is too abstract a concept to achieve it, but in the end you learn to accept your limits and your strengths for this I love my job because it has strengthened my character being a very shy and introverted person

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
well it depends what we are talking about if we talk about rome my native city me with my best friend we would go to trastevere a small neighborhood that represents the simplicity of life it is so peaceful there are many restaurants pubs and cafes where you can sit and enjoy many social centers where you can do cultural activities, plus a few minutes from there there are also very picturesque and historic clubs with people of all ages and nations, where you can meet new people and dance, I love dancing and getting to know new people because I think that every person, even for a 5-minute chat, can teach you something. instead if I had to take my friend on holiday for a week I would choose a small tour in Asia, because I love Asia their culture their peace and also food and landscapes

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
purely from my character and my determination, but in the end I thank the person I am for the signs of my parents and the opportunities they gave me to live abroad and grow up day after day with different people and cultures that day after day they shaped who I am. And the strength of my mom and all here wiseness
