Adina and Tristam

Adina's Story

a-england is the creation of Adina Bodana.

A little girl painting her fingernails with watercololours was the start of a long life passion.

Born in Milan, Italy, Adina worked as a designer for fashion, ballet and opera, assisting Gianni Versace and as a free lance. She moved to London in 1989 in her thirties. She left a glamorous career behind towards the unknown, to eventually fulfill a mysterious and indomitable call, manifested in youth, from England the elected home.

Various experiences in fashion followed, like designing amazing frocks and accessories for a haute couture house based in Dubai. Recently she founded a painting and decorating company driven by the need to explore a different sector of aesthetic.

Passion and the search of quality and beauty have always been the constant in every project.

Painting her nails through the bitter sweet stages in life has been a constant moment of enjoyment and empowerment. Sometimes a way to start a conversation, then share an impression, a smile, a story.
