About

Chiara Hodgson is a Franco-British fashion and costume designer, based between London (United Kingdom) and Paris (France). With a BA from ESMOD Paris, and an MA from London College of Fashion (UAL), her work focuses on narrative-driven, ethically produced pieces that bridge fashion, performance, film, and installation.https://chiarahodgson.com/

The focus through social and experimental research of woman’s placement in Street Harassment in our current society through an up-cycled collection. In depth understanding on the psychology of both genders, transitioning from childhood to adulthood, social norm’s & studies, female anatomy, personal cases, colour theory (// print & fabric) and sustainability (key focus on up-cycling). All my research as well as critical analysis is on my blog : https://chiararosati.blogspot.com This personal subject is to encourage social justice, ecological integrity and educate current and future generations through the intersection of art, fashion, sustainability and female activism. ALL MATERIALS WERE UP-CYCLED // exception : sustainable WADDING- won from FREUDENBEURG competition.
