ENGLISH VERSION

WHO

After obtaining a high-school diploma in languages and having had the opportunity to travel the world, Maru Mariani takes a look around her and realizes that fashion and in particular, historical costumes not only represent the best way to portray all she has seen to date, but also all that the human psyche can conceal within the folds of apparently simple cloth.
Maru obtains a degree in July 2006 at the Rome Academy of Costumes and Fashion. Her thesis comprises a research project on the theme of uniforms and the symbolic language inherent to them, beginning with military uniforms and covering an analysis of both counter- and sub-cultures. During her career as a stylist and costume designer, Maru develops her own limpid and rigorous style, deeply inspired by the androgynous look of the clothes designed by Giorgio Armani and Cocò Chanel and by the complex yet simple structures of Issey Miyake. She never abandons, however, her own particularly feminine and elegant touch.
Before branching out into the exciting world of fashion – which began with wedding gowns and developed into her own private collections – Maru collaborated with the theatre company “Alma”, giving impetus to her great passion – constantly alive – for the adrenalin produced by the stage and the stage curtain. She won the Jury’s Award for her work as best costume designer and best scenic designer during the theatre review “Tutti in scena! 2007” at the Teatro della Cometa in Rome.

WHY 

This space arises from the desire

to share all that the pencil, the inspiration and the professionalism of talented people can render alive through passionate vision, scissors and cloth;

to communicate that which in my mind signifies femininity, fantasy, and art made to measure;

to satisfy desires, propose solutions and find alternatives for those who still don’t know what they want to wear each  morning, for indecisive brides and for determined directors.
