Caterina Ciuffoletti

The concept of her collection
"I developed the collection as an analysys of the contemporary society through the nietzschean phylosophy. As "generation y" representative, balancing between youth and adulthood, dealing with high ideals and lack of perspective, living  the "Crisis" I felt the urge to create a positive answer and vision of evolution, or better, re-evaluation. I visualized the Dyonisian spirit in the most elementary and mechanic essence of the human being: our body, our anatomy, the way we are builted to interact with the world.  On the other hand I visualizeded in the heavy aesthetic of the medieval Christian iconography the Apollonian spirit. As a result of this struggle between the Apollonian and the Dionysian spirit I achieved the iconic human being who has defeated the fear itself, has accepted his humanity, his power and his decay. The man who wears the skull of the trinity is just like an ancient greek warrior who wears his enemies arms and standards as sign of value."
