NICE TO MEET YOU

MEET BE A DESIGNER

Be A Designer was born from a real need: that of accompanying those who dream of creating a fashion brand along a concrete, sustainable and complete path.

Be A Designer is the first style office in Italy specialising in full support
for those who want to create a fashion brand from scratch.
We are not just an agency, we do not sell isolated services.
We are the strategic, creative and operational partner for those who want to get serious.

Behind every brand that works, there is a strong idea.
But above all, there is a system that holds it all together: identity, design, supply chain, communication, numbers.
We build that system together with you.

My name is Corrado Manenti

I worked for years in fashion, in production departments where creativity collides with reality.
I got to know the beauty and complexity of this world: the dream and the gear.

I have seen extraordinary projects stalled because there was no vision.
And medium-sized brands become big thanks to a solid structure designed to last.

I wanted to offer my experience to all those who had an idea, an intuition or a dream but did not yet know how to get started

Be A Designer was born from this awareness

A guide was needed for those who dream big but start from scratch.
A style office that does more than just execute,
but builds your positioning, identity and market potential with you.

Our Team

Be A Designer is a vertical structure formed by professionals working with method and unified vision:

Team members are displayed in circular frames with names, titles and roles; among them is a white dog named Artemis labelled as Emotional Support.
