Beyond The Apron Strings



This project pays homage to Italian grandmothers, elevating them from background figures to protagonists. The collection celebrates their resilience, strength, and love while showcasing their multifaceted nature. 

It challenges stereotypes, presenting a comprehensive view of these women as individuals beyond their care giving roles. Drawing inspiration from traditional grandmother attire, the collection incorporates influences from designers like Beretta and Miyake. It reimagines classic garments with a modern twist, blending functionality, elegance, and comfort. Floral and polka dot patterns, aprons, and button-down dresses are reinterpreted through a contrast of exaggerated 80s silhouettes and lighter fabrics.

This fusion of styles creates a bridge between past and present, inviting wearers to embody the wisdom of Italian grandmothers while embracing their own individuality. The result is a collection that honors tradition while pushing boundaries in contemporary fashion.
