There are dreams that remain in the drawer and others that, sooner or later, come true. Just as Gaia Lucchini tenaciously wanted, to put her studies to good use in dance and contemporary choreography between Milan and Paris, art in Providence, fashion design in New York, and experiences for international shows.

From Dubai, where she now lives and has created her brand Miss Gaja, with which she designs costumes for the most famous musicals staged at the Dubai American Academy and the romantic, personalized prom dresses for the end-of-year dance, Gaia sent us her beautiful sketches. Figures that reveal a very modern and multitasking talent between fashion and art. She tells it like this. "Miss Gaja was born partly by chance, partly as a natural consequence of a love story between theater, dance, and the students of a school to which I have long dedicated my soul and heart.

At first, the prom was an all-consuming passion, but little by little it evolved towards other complementary artistic expressions, because I needed them to correspond to what I had in mind, and here came the first sets. Everything started five years ago, when for one of my choreographies I created a very particular costume I had in mind, and from that, many others followed, each year increasingly sophisticated, following ideas and visions related to the musicals to be realized, which I wanted to be faithful to the theme but original. It was precisely the theater students who began calling me “Miss Gaja,” and from there the idea was born to give a home to all the dreams I wanted to realize. Following my passions I combined dance, fashion, and art in pieces where the garment merges and moves with the character, and is not only sewn but often painted or “sculpted” to create exactly the desired effect.
Miss Gaja Prom, on the other hand, is the spark of an idea that arose from observing my teenage daughters attending the American school in Dubai, where it is tradition for girls at the prom to bring their dreams to life, transforming into contemporary princesses." 
From studying the personality and collaborating with the girl in question, the perfect dress is born, for an unforgettable evening.
