Corrado was born in Bari in 1977 Corrado and  graduated in Fashion and Design at the Istituto Europeo del Design in Rome. After that he was design assistant to Silvia Venturini Fendi for the Fendi mens-womens footwear collections. After a stint there he moved to Paris to Yves Saint Laurent, where he assisted a Francesco Russo and Stefano Pilati. In 2008, he worked with John Galliano as head of the mens-womens footwear lines, and in 2010 he became head of footwear at Rochas.

Corrado’s resumé reads as a who’s who if 21^st century fashion. He launched his first Haute Couture collection in Rome in 2010 and his first ready-to-wear collection in Paris the same year. His eponymous ready to wear lines is lyrical and sweetly punk with deconstructions and singular explorations of materials, colours and volumes. Corrado was chosen in 2011 as one of the young talents to watch by Italian Vogue at the Who is Next competition.
