Cool Hunting
Letizia Rossi
Leti is a Brooklyn-based writer with a keen eye for spotting trends and an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture. Born in Italy to Argentine parents and raised in San Francisco, she has cultivated a bi-coastal and international perspective. Her obsessions include: art about food, Andean knits, children who dress like adults, 1970s social movements, documentaries about cults, the Manson Family, the SLA and Jonestown. Her proclivity towards unique objects that combine cute with creepy, excellent design with esoteric function, high and low culture and other such paradoxical elements makes her an natural born member of Team Cool Hunting.
