Additional information:
Giovanna's passion for the beauty and fashion industry has always driven her to achieve the highest standards in everything she does no matter what the challenges and requirements are. “Being able to create new looks, develop new ideas and also being part of a beauty and fashion publication is a dream come true.”

Inspired by her father Gianfranco Zaccagnino, a well-known abstract and colourist artist, and through Italian art and architecture, Giovanna started her career by working for brands such as Estée Lauder, MACand Lancôme alongside fashion, editorial and theatrical jobs. In 2009, Giovanna took her second teaching qualification and gained an Assessor Award A1 qualification which enabled her to teach and assess NVQs and ITEC Level 2 and Level 3 courses. To share her knowledge and help students to develop their own style and skills has been her commitment for the past eight years.  

In 2011, Giovanna was given the opportunity to become the Beauty Editor for high-end fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazine: The Bite Magazine. This new role catapulted her career to a different level, giving her the opportunity to express her full creativity as well as her obsession and knowledge in beauty products. Her experimenting and testing of some of the top make-up and beauty products has enabled Giovanna to become an expert in achieving the best looks in make-up, best skin care solutions and the best tools and techniques available in the industry, creating inspirational features and stories.

Giovanna’s career has taken her to London, Italy and Spain, working with models, music artists and catwalks
