Luciano Soprani

In this episode, I uncover the fascinating and little-known story of Luciano Soprani - a tale that feels like it’s straight out of a novel. I first came across his journey while working as a vintage buyer, hidden in my research library, and knew it was a story worth sharing. Luciano Soprani began his life as a farmer in Italy and rose to become one of the country’s most talented fashion designers. From his early days at one of Italy’s most iconic fashion houses to the bold path he forged as a freelancer and founder of his own label, Soprani’s story is one of talent, reinvention, and quiet brilliance.

Where It All Started: My Journey into Vintage Fashion

In this first episode, I share how my journey as a vintage buyer began—starting with my teenage years discovering vintage fashion in Germany, and how that early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion. I take you through my path from Germany to London and New York, and how those experiences eventually led me to meet my business partner and co-found ROSKI YARD - a vintage showroom in Amsterdam. ROSKI YARD is an exclusive archival fashion showroom offering a curated selection of high-end ready-to-wear for both men and women. Today, I work full-time as a vintage buyer, specializing in high-end archival fashion and vintage designers. This episode is an invitation to join me at the very beginning where it all started.
