progetto che affronto.
This project is a journey that starts from a deep self-analysis. At the origin of this project is the desire to paint a clear portrait of who I am. The body is the starting point. Recalling the days of my childhood, my memory brings back vivid images of the warm village festivals, full of folk dances and traditional clothes that tell stories of a distant time. The second part of the collection talks about the mind which, identified in obsessive disorder, draws on well-defined elements of Ciociaria customs and repeats them with a sort of compulsive ritual.
Inspired by Botticelli's work "The Birth of Venus," I used Valentino Garavani's page technique to mimic the flowers in the painting. I employed the geometric shell pattern to create a structural element and added fringes to simulate the movement of the winds.
Starting from the study of the structure of Cristóbal Balenciaga's balloon dress, I focused on the skirt, which I wanted to make two-dimensional by laying it flat, and then made it three-dimensional again by shaping it on the mannequin.
