Who I am
BE UNIQUE, BE YOURSELF,
BEGIULS
I am Giuliana, but everyone calls me "Giuls." I am a fashion designer and in 2011 I opened my atelier and created "BeGiuls."
I was born and raised in the Florentine Oltrarno, a neighborhood historically known for its artisan "workshops," and I spent my childhood in a family where manual skills and creativity were always present in everyday life.
Around me everyone was creating something with their hands: father, aunt... but it was by observing my grandmother Adele's hands, intent on sewing, that I picked up the tools of the trade and never left them again.
Already from the first parties and evenings out with friends, not being able to find in the boutiques what I wanted, I began to design and make clothes with my own hands that identified perfectly with my idea of personalized and unique style and with original combinations, clothes that went beyond the boundaries dictated by the trends of the moment.
I sensed that, in the tailoring products, despite great craftsmanship, there was a lack of that special touch to keep the dress from falling into something already seen.
From a feminine design to an elegant garment
I was almost resigned ... then one day I discovered that this different, authentic way of feeling fashion could become my mission.
When I wore my clothes, friends and people around me noticed the "quality" and "uniqueness" of the design and construction and asked me to make them for them as well.
So I decided that I would bring my passion to life: I would design and create sartorial, unique clothes, made of fine fabrics, with attention to detail, clothes with a modern design, to be worn and savored every day, and above all, made to measure!
This is where BeGiuls was born!
Contemporary tailoring of handmade women's clothing
The brand combines my first and last name, carrying fragments of my history. It represents my world: colors, fine and durable fibers, feminine, elegant and romantic shapes. I choose high-quality, natural fabrics, made in Italy, and when possible, made in Tuscany. I reuse small scraps of fabric to create jewelry, accessories or new clothes, mixing different textures. I love to respect the sartorial tradition, combining it with a modern study of shapes.
The atelier is the heart of everything: here I design and make dresses and accessories, mostly reversible, that reach every part of the world. You find unique fabrics and attention to detail, from buttons to collars, cuffs to linings. It is a place that feeds my soul, where I can express my personality and vision of fashion.
BeGiuls creates original clothes that enhance your style and elegance, timeless garments that will stay with you through the years. Choosing a dress tells who we are and what we want to become: with BeGiuls you choose a garment that smells of workshop and sustainability, handmade in Florence.
