Elisa Lucia Miragliotta

My name is Elisa Miragliotta, and I am from Sicily, Italy. My journey in Accessories design started when I moved to Rome, to study in Accademia Costume e Moda. Ever since I can remember, the driving force behind who I am has been understanding: understanding how things are structured and why they are made the way they are. Over time, this evolved into a need: the need to find my own way of making things. I believe in quality, durability, and the purpose of a product. My mind naturally tends to decode, deconstruct, and uncover the logic that underpins things, and in design I have found a balance between rationality and aesthetics. My roots lie in Sicily, a place shaped by handmade objects, adaptation, repairability, and purchases made to last. For this reason, materials are fundamental to the way I approach my work, and consequently so are the sensory dimension and the slowness inherent in it. It is within this slowness that my own revolution takes shape.
