Francesca Vinelli is an Italian fashion designer with a tactile and narrative approach to design. Her work explores the emotional power of materials, storytelling through silhouettes, and an understated, detail-driven aesthetic.

Her practice blends intuitive color research, slow processes, and a deep focus on textile manipulation — often working with deadstock fabrics, vintage linings, and forgotten materials. Her garments aim to preserve memory while proposing new forms.

In 2021 she founded Cleme, a personal project and capsule that acts as both manifesto and archive.
Cleme is rooted in softness, heritage, and care — an ongoing exploration of quiet femininity, sustainability, and identity. Each piece resists overproduction, existing instead as a crafted, reflective gesture.

Francesca’s creative universe is shaped by intimacy and editorial clarity, where each collection reads as a visual and emotional archive
