Between fashion, painting and creativity
Yvonne Baker's world is born from the meeting of fashion, vintage, painting and a deep passion for everything that is artisanal, authentic and made with care.
Born in Rimini and raised between Romagnola culture and her English heritage, Yvonne has always had a natural relationship with creativity. From childhood she loved to draw, create and imagine. That sensitivity, present since infancy, found in fashion and art its own language.
Formation
Fashion Design
After graduating from the Liceo Artistico Fellini in Riccione, Yvonne attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Rimini, graduating in Fashion Design. Her academic path allowed her to develop a very personal vision of fashion, founded on research, craftsmanship and the possibility of creating something that is not simply a product, but that knows how to tell a story.
An independent path
Artisanal Creation
After her studies she chose not to follow a traditional path in the fashion world. She preferred to build her own work independently, creating an artisanal line of garments and developing projects linked to vintage, creativity and a more conscious fashion. Her approach is born from the desire to create a few pieces, carefully crafted in their details, capable of expressing personality and character.
"Creare lentamente, con le proprie mani, per dare forma a un mondo che ci assomigli."
To create slowly, with one's own hands, to give form to a world that resembles us.
Aesthetic
The Cottage World
Her style draws inspiration from the cottage aesthetic, from romantic atmospheres and the English countryside, reinterpreted through a personal and contemporary gaze. In her projects femininity, attention to detail, materials, colours and a sense of slowness coexist — a feeling that over the years has become an integral part of her way of creating. For Yvonne, this is not simply a style to follow: it is an aesthetic she feels deeply her own, one that reflects her world.
Art & Community
Painting
The Canvas
Alongside fashion, painting has always accompanied her artistic journey. Yvonne paints and also creates commissioned works, using painting as a form of personal expression and as a space for creative research.
Creative retreats
Painting Sessions
From her passion for art, her painting sessions and women's creative retreats were born: multi-day experiences in which painting becomes an opportunity to slow down, immerse oneself in nature, meet other women and carve out a space dedicated to creativity and to oneself.
Community
Two Hundred Women
What began as a personal journey has transformed into a true creative community. Through her experiences, Yvonne has brought together around two hundred women united by the desire to express themselves, create, share and rediscover the value of time dedicated to oneself.
Today
One thread
Today Yvonne's work moves between painting, fashion, vintage and creative experiences. Apparently different fields, but bound by a single thread: the desire to create with one's own hands, give new life to ideas and build something authentic. For Yvonne, fashion and painting are not two separate worlds, but two different forms of the same need — to create a world that resembles her. A world made of beauty, craftsmanship, imagination, slowness and creative freedom.
