LA CILIEGINA PICCOLINA
Autumn 2023

STORY TELLING


Since I was a child, I've had a deep-seated love for ballet. Performances like Swan Lake and The Nut-
cracker hold a special place in my heart, fond memories of attending them at the opera with my
mother. The artistry of the dancing was captivating, but it was the resplendent costumes that truly
enchanted me - each adorned with shimmering fabrics and intricate details, captivating my imagination.
This project provided me with the opportunity to blend two worlds - ballet and fashion. While such
fusion is not uncommon in the fashion realm, it always exudes an air of elegance and sophistication.Drawing
inspiration primarily from the brand Miu Miu and the Spring/Summer 2024 collection of Vetements, both
known for their distinctive styles, I embraced the challenge of merging their aesthetics.
This capsule collection serves as an embodiment of my identity, reflecting aspects of myself. Within it, I've
crafted garments that resonate deeply with my artistic vision: from intricately embellished puffer
jacket to embroidered fabrics fashioned into sheer tops and skirts. While the process demanded consider-
able time and dedication, I found immense satisfaction in the meticulous craftsmanship, relishing the
tactile experience of hand-working each garment piece.
