Born in the magical land of Puglia, Italy, Clelia Zolli was brought up surrounded by fashion in her family business in the fashion industry.It is no surprise then, that she would start playing with fabrics and clothing design at an early age. Her passion for art, design and the fashion industry led her to attend prestigious design schools in Italy; such as the Domus Academy, with art director Gianfranco Ferré. Following soon after Clelia worked as a fashion designer for many years with Clen, her own fashion line, which was very successful all over in Italy.
After moving to New York, Clelia Zolli’s passion and knowledge of art and design naturally evolved into her next project: Clen Gallery, a space to share her passion for Italian, european art and a window to promote it in the U.S. market.
