Vogue Fashion Brands 2022 - Bulgari - Series of 6 artworks Print

Tribute to Fashion Brand 2022 Series of 6 artworks Artist Statement I use different types of media such as drawing, painting and various materials to investigate and explore new systems of the language of art. “Untitled” is my last series of two hundred oil pastels on paper and canvas. A brief colourful summary of my artistic research but above all a tribute to Biba vintage, and the style of the 1960 – 1970 which I have been researching and creating for six years. I was inspired by shapes of Italian fashion clothing and the brightness of the colours of British clothing, the simplicity of the shapes playing with primary colors, secondary and complementary. The human body, male or female, that communicates emotions through different clothing. I would like to link art to fashion. Since I started my artistic research more than fifty years ago I have always tried to interpret the real visions according to the colours, lines and forms. “Di Filippo's influences include the slender portraits Modigliani and especially, the vibrant colours of Sonia Delaunay. In The Observer she explains, "I was inspired by abstract, minimal, contemporary artists. But then I came back to my first loves: art and fashion." Biba’s designs are reminiscent of the classic Italian fashion Di Filippo grew up with: "They have a simplicity of shape, and I loved the colours such as olive, rust, and bruised purple." For Di Filippo, Biba's 60s style remains timeless. "It’s like Coco Chanel’s little black dress. It will never get old." Currently my investigation looks at the history of fashion and the relationship that goes from Luxury Fashion to Fast Fashion in relation to Art and how fashion also takes inspiration from art for its trends that I often find in Vogue.
