Morena is the Designer Maker and founder at Kodes, a statement jewellery and accessory brand she founded in London in 2015. Having had Alopecia Universalis (an illness which causes all your hair, eyebrows and eyelashes to fall) since she was 12 years old, Morena started Kodes in 2015 from the need to express herself through jewellery, something she realised she had been doing for years, as a way to make up for not being able to express herself through (the lack of) her hair. Kodes was also born as a rebellion towards fashion homogenisation, something she has experienced throughout her upbringing in Italy. Looking for a more diverse society, where anyone can wear whatever they want and anyone can be whoever they want, Morena left Italy in 2003 and has found in London exactly what she was looking for.
