HYMAN ROTH
THIS IS ME
Miami – United States, October 11, 1980

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

As a child I was a little clumsy but I liked everything that was described as irregular in shape and colour. I think that this way they helped me in that I have undertaken further studies at the International University of Art & Design in Miami and continues to influence my current work. I love to create jewellery with primitive materials, colour contaminate apparently in against each other, develop forms dictated mainly by following the will of my hands, I am fascinated to give birth to a precious object that can highlight the identity of the wearer from a simple piece of clay. A jewel for me is just that, a small object that has its own life, a history and inevitably tells that the wearer.

ANTONELLA IOVINELLA
THIS IS ME
Naples – Italy, August 4, 1960

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

My artistic career began as a painter first, looking for shapes and light, to know later, the sculpture in a game of empty and full. I love to write poems and stories. I think that art should express our deepness, to be true. Wear a shoe, a jewel, click the bag, creating a world, (our little world). We feel that the object reflects our personality. And in my constant wandering encounter the art of ” SENSAZIONINDOSSATE “; and that expression of the design.
The idea that everything can be reinvented, the mixture of forms, materials, excites me.
I’m in constant search. And I think that this is the secret to vitality and joy to our world of feeling, which can be enclosed, in that very small object “of ARTE”.

ROMINA MAGRINI
THIS IS ME
Marsciano (PG) – Italy – July 8, 1985

I am a female student with a great interest in high fashion, and accessories such as bags, shoes and jewellery. I work on my fashion projects in Umbria, Italy. I believe that fashion is a form of art, and every fashion item, whether it is a dress, shoes, or a bag, comes to life in my mind like a woven fabric. The design is made up of a network of threads: inspiration, style, and simple, original fabrics combining to create complex, structured works of art. I love to use apparently contrasting materials in my creations, such as artificial fur, plastic, and chiffon, with elegant details and jewellery-zips.
My design is focused on freedom and a spirit of invention, and epitomizes frivolity and glamorous creativity, experimentation, and innovation.

ISAURA MANO
THIS IS ME
Padua – Italy, May 28, 1984

I deal with fashion since 6 years.
In these years I could work in different roles and fields of fashion, everything with its own baggage, I try to take from it anything that can help me to improve. Every object, fabric, accessory is just a tool to create a better self-image and creativity.

CASSANDRA MONTI
THIS IS ME
Florence – Italy, October 12, 1976

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

Geologist, graduate in Art and with an Artistic Passion at 360°.
Since 3 years I work like geologist, but about 1 years ago I felt strongly the necessity to follow my nature, I required to be ME. So I started to build my way, with a new little step every day. The last October I was selected for the Texmedin Design Challenge, now I’m working on this fashion project, and at the end of May my dress will leave Italy to travel across Europe. At the same time I’m working on many others artistic projects: a new kind of Bag; a ‘Ludiko’ design plan and finally on a my original Fashion Collection. Few days ago the WMATY Winner news made me very happy: I’ll can realize my jewellery project too.
The inspiration for my works come from everywhere, everything and at everytime…the match is to transform ideas in reality.
And so, this is me: a woman on a mission.

LUCA POGGILO
THIS IS ME
Sirolo (AN), Italy – November 15, 1988

Designer What's More Alive Than You®

My grandfather was a postman and he worked with the bags I have always fascinated me.
Thanks for cleaning the attic of my house this distant memory reappears on my mind, these objects which have been part of my childhood.
Here-hence the idea to revive, in modern way, these accessories still in common use in our daily lives, to reinterpret them, to give them a new life in contemporary forms. This is just a game which makes me child again. I wonder what my grandfather would think.
