About
Hi! I\'m Ilaria and I’m 23 years old.I studied at Accademia Costume e Moda and I gratuated in February 2023.I describe myself as a determined person, with a great desire to learn new things.I love the manual work and everything that requires research and the mixing of new and old materials.
During my studies I had the possibility to participate at the Talent 2023 and I was able to work on my personal accessories project entitled RODEO. Through this project based on spaghetti-western by Sergio Leone, I was able to learn how to work on the leather and what were the processes on it. My references were the artisanal processes such as hand filling and ties, that I put on bags and women's shoes. I had the possibility to use leather to create corsets with bolos. I also focused on the upcycling of denim and sustainability, using 80’s archive pieces in a modern way, making vintage contemporary again. Entertainment. Test of courage, like the cowboys in the corral. Skills, adrenaline, demonstration of what one is and what one can do. The uncharted land of the Wild West now becomes the whole planet, the world is transformed into territory to be explored. Rodeo starts from the raw material, developing into three-dimensional, well-defined forms that have as their reference point the craftsmanship of the past, the care and precision of every detail. The identity of the collection is based on the country world and finds details in it that define its volumes and constructions. The result of this research is a strong personality that rises from the dusty land of Almeria and spreads everywhere.
