Chiara Innocenti, an Italian girl from Rome, is a future medical student who has always admired art for its ability to evoke emotions and tell stories. For her, fashion is more than just an aesthetic expression: it is a reflection of change, evolution, and the experiences of those who live it. Her personal style is simple, essential, and elegant, but what fascinates her about fashion is its ability to transform and communicate something deep. She has found in this world a way to explore and express her identity. Her interest has evolved into something concrete in recent years, leading her to take part in important projects. This editorial marks one of the first significant steps in her journey, an experience she considers both meaningful and enriching. Having the opportunity to wear Serafina Scigliano's creations is an honor for her: interpreting her designs means giving shape to a narrative of tradition and innovation. Chiara brings the same intensity to her modeling as she does to aerial dance: through movement and expressiveness, she breathes life into the clothes she wears, transforming them into something alive, full of meaning.
Serafina Scigliano is a designer with roots in Southern Italy, now residing in Rome, who has made fashion her expressive language. A self-taught artist by choice, she has always sought creative freedom as a means to transform her vision into tangible art. Her creations blend the past and the present, tradition and innovation. Through techniques such as crochet and the use of wire, she brings to life jewelry and clothing that are not just accessories, but narrative elements. Her work highlights craftsmanship, bringing ancient techniques back to life and adapting them to a modern style, where every detail has meaning. Her talent has led her to walk international runways, participating in the Monte Carlo and Paris Fashion Weeks, and to receive the "Donna d'Autore" award, a recognition for her commitment to enhancing femininity through sartorial art. Through fashion, Serafina enhances the uniqueness and identity of those who wear her creations. Her goal is to create timeless, unique pieces capable of telling stories and evolving with those who choose them.
Fashion is like dance: it's not just aesthetics, it's emotion, it's history in motion. - Chiara Innocenti
The sculpture-dress, inspired by Marte—a work created in 2004 by artist and architect Costantino Castellotti—transforms shapes and colors into a three-dimensional expression of high fashion. The artist Castellotti and fashion designer Serafina Scigliano have translated the painting’s pictorial intensity into a garment with strong visual impact, reinterpreting the engravings the artist imprinted on cardboard through sculpted volumes and structured fabrics that evoke its materiality. The result is a dress that transcends fashion to become a true wearable sculpture, where art and craftsmanship merge into a unique fusion of creativity and innovation.
