Barbara Fumarola – The Creative Mind Behind Candy Design

Barbara Fumarola is an Italian architect with an unwavering passion for concept creation and innovation. Currently based in the Netherlands, she balances her role as a Concept Designer and AI Manager for the German company SOOII while pursuing her artistic vision.

Two years ago, Barbara embarked on her journey into the world of AI, leading to her participation in AIFW2 with the groundbreaking collection Pop Geometry. This collection propelled her to success, earning her a place among the Top 10 finalists and securing exhibitions in Milan and New York.

Inspired by this achievement, Barbara has continued to push the boundaries of AI and fashion. She launched the World Candy’s Tour, a virtual showcase of her vibrant Pop Geometry collection, captivating audiences worldwide and growing her Instagram following to over 500,000 fans.

She considers herself fortunate to live by this philosophy and firmly believes that with determination and passion, anyone can achieve their goals.

Wearing Candy is more than a style—it’s a state of mind.
