Being with Susanna will make you fall in love with your life.
Susanna Avesani-Pinto built one of the leading fashion consultancies in Italy assisting luxury retailers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Legendary stores such as Harrods in London, Henri Bendel in New York, and visionaries such as Club 21 in South East Asia are among her long-standing clients. But it is not the artful deal-maker that captivates, it is the woman.
Without a doubt, the story of this poster-woman of Italian glamour is a story of many different women—but all in a single lifetime. It is the story of the bad girl and the good wife. The story of a self-made millionaire, a parent who chose to be single, a glamorous life of travel, adventure and love, the agony of losing a child to cancer, the pride and joy of raising an accomplished and independent daughter, of finally finding a life partner. Behind the champagne personality that will disarm you in less than a minute, stands a professional powerhouse that is never afraid to reveal her humanity.
