Subject: Presentation Tiffany & Co.
Dear Guillaume,
​
​
It was wonderful meeting you in Milan for fashion week in February. As we discussed, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with brands like Bvlgari and Fendi and would love to count Tiffany & Co. among my clients. Collaborating with your company would be meaningful to me as a New Yorker, for your brand has shaped my concept of luxury since childhood.
My love affair with Tiffany & Co. began when I was just ten years old: that year, I was selected as a finalist in Macy's Search for Broadway's Annie and had the honor of playing the title role the following year in a regional production. When Daddy Warbucks placed a shiny new Tiffany locket around my neck, I understood the optimism inspired by the brand in Depression-era New York, and recalled my youthful obsession with the Tiffany "Cross Your Heart" pendant my own mother wore around her neck.
After moving to Rome, Italy in 2009, I decided to continue to bridge the cultural gap between Italy and the United States through song in the tradition of my cousin, Frank Sinatra. Always inspired by Old Hollywood glamour, I followed in the famous footsteps of Audrey Hepburn, lending my voice and image to some of the Eternal City's most distinguished events in fashion and cinema with the playful lightheartedness of an American girl abroad.
I would be honored to work with Tiffany & Co. and perform at special events in Italy and greater Europe. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you or another member of your distinguished company in the near future. For now, I've included a sample of my past work in the industry, to get you dreaming of what we could do together.
​
My warmest regards,
​

My Italian-American heritage and New York City roots always influence my repertoire and special events. For International Jazz Day 2016, I was invited as Guest of Honor to perform a repertoire dedicated to my relative Frank Sinatra with the Sicilian Hot Jazz Orchestra for over 3,000 fans. For Bvlgari's Holiday Gala at Cinecittà, my quintet and I performed Hollywood's Greatest Hits of the Silver Screen, featuring songs made famous by starlets like Audrey Hepburn ("Moon River", Breakfast at Tiffany's) and Marilyn Monroe ("Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). For the American Embassy in Rome, I performed a selection of Italian-American classics made famous by my cousin (Sinatra) and Dean Martin.
