Marina Spadafora is an Italian ethical fashion designer who gained a reputation worldwide in the 1990s for her collections that featured sophisticated knits. She has also collaborated with labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada and Miu Miu and as Creative Director for fashion and accessories at AltroMercato, Italys oldest and largest Fair Trade group with over 300 stores.
Marina's work has always included a strong social and environmental focus, believing that ethics and aesthetics can coincide. In late 2014 she gave an important TEDx Talk in Como, Italy and in June 2015 she received the UN's Women Together Award at the United Nations in recognition for her work and promotion with artisans in developing countries. She has lectured and taught at Parsons School of Design and F.I.T. - Fashion Institute of Technology.
