Biography

"Nihil difficile volenti"

I firmly believe that, with determination , a good pinch of positivity and a lot of courage , you can achieve great goals and make your dreams come true. My name is Federica Formicola, I'm 30 years old, and Kairos is my dream. Born in the province of Naples, I attended the University of Pharmacy in the city of Siena, where I lived for 5 years. I realized that that wasn't my path in my second year of university and so I started buying clothing and fashion accessories at vintage markets and second-hand fairs. I modified them with studs or colored fabrics and resold them online throughout Italy. It made me feel free to express myself. My request to change my university path to attend a fashion academy was not well received and, in order not to disappoint my family, I chose to continue following the path I had taken. With a lot of effort and bitterness I tried to carry on for another few years, when, during a really difficult period for me, I finally chose to put myself first and, against everything and everyone, I attended tailoring and pattern making courses for a few months. and fashion design. There, I started to reopen my dream drawer and, with a lot of effort, I created a small collection of denim bags with leather inserts. And that's how, little by little, I started selling on Instagram.

To date my dream is still far away, but if you are reading my story on this site, what I myself have achieved by studying hard is because I have taken another step forward, and that distance, then, becomes increasingly shorter . I would really like to tell you everything, because in Kairos there is all of me, and it is really exciting to experience all the small changes that Kairos and I are facing.
