Graduation year

Agata Della Torre is the name under which Giuseppina Di Paola designs her collections.
Giuseppina, after achieving graduation with her master degree in Political Science on fashion as a cultural process, studied fashion at the European Institute of Design (IED) and later had the chance to learn the techniques of modelling and tailoring directly from the work of tailors, by attending their laboratories.
In 2009 she created Agata Della Torre in order to develop her researches on the re-elaboration of shapes, embracing both her passions: architecture and fashion.
Agata Della Torre’s collections embody the out come of a research carried out on shape which draws its inspiration from
architecture and art, providing a contemporary style, sophisticated but not ethereal, elaborated and inusual, adopting a new language based on some recurrent variables, as lightness, dissonance, movement.
Agata Della Torre’s collections have been shown at fashion shows all over the world including Milan, Madrid and Tranoï in Paris, and appear in international fashion magazines as Vogue, Glamour, Fashion and Woman.

Latest Collection

Tribute to Richard Rogers

The fall/winter collection draws its main inspiration from the architecture of Richard Rogers and from its concept of the work in which structural and functional elements are not hidden, but they are instead shown and bestowed a specific identity.
The collection thus develops the idea of providing clothes’ functional elements with an identity.
Therefore such elements (such as zips, collars, lacings, shoulders) are given a specific role, and the whole dress is manufactured around them.
Double jersey jumper, wool and cashmere, polymeric fabric tridimensionally engineered, organic cotton.
