BIOGRAPHY

The innovative clothes, which shape still unseen, distances the Selene Giorgi’s collections from the predictable format of seasonal logic. The research of noble materials and the manufacturing of yarn as raw material is based on poetry of classical form, and applied to the body. The formal language is willingly simplified, following an imperious logic in constructing the whole series. Her avant-garde projects evoke great Japanese masters, while the manufacturing of a fine brand underlines the contents expressed by this hand made production. The Atelier of Selene Giorgi tell us the unique story of art objects in which the volume and the force of ideas meet with a deep research into the inner soul of people who crave the unexpected in fashion design.

Born as an artist, who chose clothes as a support for her art, Selene Giorgi makes sculpture and transforms yarn and textiles into wearable items. Each item is different from another.
Her work is driven by pure instinct. The visible and material aspect of the textile, together with the physical and emotional reaction, decide which is the best road to follow. Continuous mote and wide volumes are the first suggestions of a manual and instinctive process.
The stance goes beyond the aesthetic side, searching a wider meaning, connected to sensual perception.

Graduated at the Accademia of Brera in Milan, she grew up studying textile. Without being inspired by none in particular, although some people recognize an influence of japanese fashion designers.
She always juxtaposes Art and fashion. The choice of an individual path shows us the contemporary necessity for tailored dresses.
In the research of pure textile and raw material, she devotes herself to studying the potential of Felt, manufactured in a dynamic way, as a “space extension” of the body. Today we’re living the change of contemporary gesture so to generate the idea of a dress in order to face new needs.

The result is a link to the semiology of gesture and the anthropology of fashion design.
The innovative form of skirts and trousers, still unknown so far, are created throughout attentive and wise experiments, which plait passion into other disciplines like cinema, music, poetry and literature.
Out of the traditional two-dimensional material, like the Felt, turns itself into three-dimensional sculpture prêt-a-porter. The stitchesof the tailor shop complete the raw textile to produce an excellent finishing.

In the unstable modern time the choice to be unique means to enter a rough and courageous field. There is more space to individual answers which leads to the actual need of tailored dresses.
Being a whole outsider, Selene Giorgi refuses the label to be a stylist and decided to start the foundation for her own atelier of tailor-shop project, without the prescription of the seasons autumn-winter or spring-summer.
Her collection is a work in progress and the destiny of each item is to give a feeling of being comfortable and safe.
The opening to a new field of imagination provides an aesthetic answer of a cocoon dress almost to be worn like a destiny, it is also useful, also functional and beautiful.

Her creations are micro architecture where poetry becomes concrete matter to dress. Changeable sculptures and artistic suggestions to be completed with the adventure of daily life.
