About
My name is Chiara, I am 21 years old, and I am currently finishing my final year of BA in Fashion Design at ESMOD PARIS, where I will continue my education at London College of Fashion for the MA in Costume Design for Performance.My brand ROSATI uses fashion as a medium of art, with a sculptural approach to volume. My ideas have always been heavily influenced by cultural references, ecological integrity, and social justice, denouncing the issues. I always incorporate my personal values and beliefs which continue to develop the more I discover and practice through a positive light. I focus on fully immersing myself in a concept to understand it thoroughly through research & social experiments. I believe that the heart of all my artwork is to generate a reaction, whether it's debatable or controversial. Female empowerment, inclusivity, breaking gender norms/social norms, sustainability are major influences in my work.The unknown is where my source of inspiration ripens which is constant movement. Furthermore, writing is a key tool for me in order to analyze & flourish a notion; I maintain a blog where my findings, critical opinions and explanations are constantly updated (https://chiararosati.Blogspot.Com).
Female street harassment
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.
