Maria Eleonora Pignata
New Graduate at the European Institute of Design IED ROME in Fashion Design.
Fashion has always been the best way to express my creativity.
My initial research led me to discover what the fashion world is, and then lingered on the revisiting and deconstruction of the garments themselves, decontextualizing them from affective spaces.
A bit of an idea based on the fusion of different fabrics, different styles, comparing them to create a single object of visual synthesis.
Union, reuse and readaptation are the adjectives that best represent my creative flair.
The intention is to create pieces that are casual but have a streetwear vibe, while still keeping in mind the order of minimalist design.
Everything is a balance between opposites.

Destroy and Reborn.
We are all dominated by a creative instinct and a destructive impulse.
The coexistence of these two drives triggers a regenerative process that recovers and transforms the "broken shards".
The Egyptian goddess Sekhmet embodies this duality perfectly: while retaining her destructive nature, she heals and regenerates.
In the collection the negative energy of destruction is related to the concept of rebirth, whereby the premature corrosion of the material, the fragment can be elevated to forms of supreme beauty.
Everything is a balance between opposites: the disorder of the incompleteness of the garment and the order of the rigid forms of minimalist design.
Even the color chart, between natural pigments and dark tones, creates a perfect chorus of visual contrasts
harmony with each other.
