Jo Corona has more than 20 years experience as a creative pattern maker and designer, working with many well-known Australian fashion labels. Her journey as a designer began with her grandmother, a tailor from Southern Europe - a woman who was known to have 'hands of gold' and who taught Jo to cut directly into the cloth in the tradition of couturiers. A natural born teacher, Jo's grandmother taught the women of her village how to make clothes for their families after the Second World War, enabling them to restore their family life and culture. This tradition continues with GIÓ Bespoke. the full circle of family, culture and the mastery of craft.
With her range of christening gowns, communion dresses, flower- girl and party dresses made from exquisite fabrics and intricate hand-beading, Jo brings the joy of creation into each of her beautiful and unique pieces. Garments are constructed with consideration for the look and feel of your event and are tailored to suit each special day.
