Sylvio Giardina

Sylvio Giardina is a creative person with a dual identity. He is both happily involved both in fashion - as a haute couture designer, and in art - as a visual artist, and is currently focused and committed to the launch of its new brand 'Sylvio Giardina'.
Sylvio was born in Paris and educated in Rome. After studying for a Fashion Designer Diploma at the Academy of Costume and Fashion, from 1990-1996 he worked for Rome’s Maison Gattinoni. From 1998-2010, together with Antonio Grimaldi he created the Grimaldi Giardina haute couture brand. After achieving success in Italy, the Grimaldi Giardina brand was invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture to a fashion show in Paris, were they presented collections for three seasons.
In January 2011 Sylvio created the brand 'Sylvio Giardina'. The search for a new silhouette is the philosophy behind this work. The classic shapes of the body are eliminated to create new shapes. While the work involves a lot of experimentation, Sylvio never loses sight of the main function - that the clothes must be wearable. The designs aim to find a balance between creativity and production. For Sylvio Giardina, art is the inspiration, and fashion the instrument. They are not separate entities, but complementary and indispensable to one another.
