MARTINA DELLA MORA
Hand embroidery
designer
I trained in fashion design at the Politecnico di Milano, then in historical tailoring at the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala. I have been working with needle and thread, in one form or another, my entire life. Embroiderly is where all of that landed.
THE SHORT VERSION
I grew up obsessed with fabric. At fifteen I got my first sewing machine. At twenty-one I was studying tailoring for opera and ballet at the Scala. From there bespoke ateliers, brand collaborations, and eventually the realisation that what I actually wanted to do was work on garments people already owned and loved.
That is what Embroiderly does: not producing new things, but transforming existing ones completely by hand.
Since January 2025 I have been working independently. I also teach hand embroidery at the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala, and take on collaborations with fashion brands where the work calls for it.
