I’m Silvia! I’m a fashion and graphic designer focus on Large and Small Leather Goods Accessories.

ABOUT ME

My name is Silvia Taccola, I was born in Milan on 30 September 1993. I grew up in the countryside of the province surrounded by nature and with the desire to explore the outside world.

I consolidated the English language and in Spain as a photographer of aspiring models, thanks to the Erasmus Plus scholarship won through the university. Finally I moved from Milan to Florence for work.

I attended the scientific high school which trapped my artistic side in a corner but helped me develop a considerable dose of determination and adaptability to all situations, laying a solid foundation on which I leaned to face the university. Since I was little I have always loved playing with my mother’s clothes and make-up and then starting to dream and design stage costumes for small theatrical performances and themed parties, so the choice of university address was natural.

I currently carry out a very dynamic job in the world of luxury leather goods for Bulgari Accessori s.r.l. which allows me to explore and touch the creative and productive process at 360 °. For this reason, my approach to work is characterized by two souls, one more creative, curious and open minded, the other more meticulous, organized and aimed at achieving goals. University and work experiences have led me to appreciate teamwork, with which I have always achieved maximum results. I am not afraid to get involved in completely new challenges. I have a strong spirit of adaptation to the different contexts and objectives that are submitted to me. For additional details, I invite you to consult my Curriculum Vitae.

When I started the fashion design faculty at the Politecnico di Milano I thought it was a crazy, artistic world, totally different from the high school I came from. Instead I was able to experiment and cultivate my creativity but following an almost scientific method to channel it into concrete and industrializable projects. I had some experiences abroad, in Ireland, where

MARY KATRANTZOU Special project Capsule Collection in collaboration with the Greek fashion designer Mary Katrantzou T E A M P R OJ E CT A S GRAPHIC DESIGNER - 1 YEAR

BVLGARI MARY KATRANTZOU

“It’s not just about highlighting the Serpenti icon but also about creating a connection to its nature as a symbol for rebirth and transformation. Women have very diverse roles that they occupy and I always feel it’s my responsibility to design with that woman in mind.”. Mary Katrantzou “Bulgari Serpenti through the eyes of Mary Katrantzou”, is a limited-edition accessories collection consisting of bags, minaudières and silk scarves, all revolving around the idea of Metamorphosis. Since ancient times the Serpenti holds powerful symbolism in Roman mythology. Drawn to the idea of metamorphosis, the intention was to highlight the Serpenti as a symbol of femininity, transformation and rebirth.

The idea of Metamorphosis inspired the creation of the printed embellished bags, as well as the artwork on the scarves. The Serpenti starts coiled, with its scales forming a spiral, slowly breaking apart and transitioning into wing-like shapes that ultimately turn into butterflies.

BVLGARI YOON AMBUSH

“I wanted to express the bold and contemporary character of Serpenti. Snakes are wondrous and fascinating creatures of nature but with Bvlgari they also became a symbol of glamour in constant evolution. Natural beauty meets human creation, all guided by a contemporary aesthetic” Yoon Ambush “Serpenti Through the Eyes of Ambush” is a limited-edition handbags and accessories collection born out of the exciting special collaboration. Grown up with pop culture, which moulded her open mind and diverse creativity, Yoon Ambush is famed for her real-life inspired creations with high-end touch. Today she challenges herself with a new venture. Vibrant colours, unbelievably soft shapes referring to the snake’s stunning

natural beauty and a fresh, cool design are at the core of Yoon’s vision. Inspired by the Tree Python of South East Asia, a species famed for its striking, artificial-looking colours and fascinating movements, Yoon designed three new styles: the Serpenti shoulder bag, the versatile Serpenti belt bag and the dangerously tempting Serpenti Minaudière.

COLLABORATIONS

Each style is adorned with a camouflaged snakehead closure. Dressed in matching Nappa Leather for a total mono-chromatic look and embellished with unforeseen eyes in mother-of-pearl and in black onyxs, the timehonoured symbol of the collection is refreshed with a modern twist.

BVLGARI ALEXANDER WANG

“My creative thought process starts from this question: “How can I take the things of everyday life and elevate them?”and “How can I relate to precious objects and make them suitable for everyday everyday life?”. So when I read the inspiration behind Bvlgari pieces, I felt a connection with the Maison.” Alexander Wang “Serpenti through the eyes of Alexander Wang was a project launched for the first time in 2017. A metropolitan Eden of belt bags, totes, satchels and shoulder bags, making their debut during Milan Fashion Week. Timeless, precious, functional. This collaboration takes the key elements of the buying ritual at boutiques (watch cases, paper shopping bags, etc.) and “elevate” them, making them very special as only a house with

such a heritage can have. During his research, the designer was attracted to a snake head made in the 1950s, a special piece capable of emanating an authentic aura of timelessness. We replicated that specific design, and so we made it the focal point of the entire capsule collection.

COLLABORATIONS

Inspired by typical packaging materials such as paper and shopping bags, the designer blends traditional silhouettes and innovative shapes.

BVLGARI HIROSHI FUJIWARA

“I felt that Bulgari was looking to do something new that they have never done before. I thought about expanding the possibilities for the Bulgari fans and the people who are interested in the brand.” Hiroshi Fujiwara

As a famed provocateur in fashion and design, the Japanese creative director Hiroshi Fujiwara brings his own disruptive vision to Bvlgari’s best-known icon, Serpenti Forever. Fujiwara is now the creative force behind a new capsule collection that will reveal his way of seeing Serpenti through his eyes. Bulgari Serpenti Forever with Fujiwara moves boldly into new creative territories playing with materials, logo & shapes and

enriching Serpenti Forever existing assortment. Dressing up three styles from the Serpenti universe Fujiwara joins the ultimate street style fabric with an absolute luxury piece. A juxtaposition of opposites, it is but the latest expression of Bvlgari’s rulebreaking attitude in the transformation of surprising materials into supremely luxurious creations.

“versatility”, according to the firm, since one of the models can be used by both women and men. The two pieces that have been reverted by the Catalan designer have been the Serpenti Forever, the house’s most iconic model that is renewed with a Mediterranean flair, and the Serpenti Diamond Blast, a larger model that is inspired by the eight-pointed star. from the Bvlgari “boutique” in Via Condotti. 43

Thus was born a capsule collection that perfectly combines high quality craftsmanship and fun in pop culture. In the manga “The Bizarre Adventures of Jojo”, there is a kind of supernatural

BVLGARI MOODBOARD FW21 Creative illustrations and concept moodboard for the Regular FW21 collection S E ASON A L P R O J E CT AS GRAPHIC DESIGNER - 3 MONTHS

We have developed the need to find a social outlet given the historical moment in which we have to interact in the public dimension according to very strict rules. In the next season we will be looking for a Locus Amoenus, from the Latin ‘’ pleasant place ‘’. In literature, a place usually characterized by a luxuriant nature where man finds the wild and positive side of himself finally reaching freedom in an ataraxic state of total tranquility and wellbeing. ‘’ Living in the desert means saying goodbye, even if only for brief moments from the world to rediscover the essential ‘’

It is a small oasis, a place where man, even in arid conditions, uses the natural resources available to create an amplification of the positive effects and determine a self-sustainable vital niche and a fertile environment in contrast with the surrounding desert. The desert is symbolically an existential phase in which one has to deal with the essentiality of living in order to abandon things that seem indispensable but are not and that indeed, in this passage, become even cumbersome. In the desert only what is truly valuable remains. In fact, the Oasis becomes a

175

metaphor for the safe refuge in which we would like to find ourselves to feel free while respecting nature that we exploit in our favor to create this place of peace and happiness, a very private and personal dimension. In the void it is possible to discover the preciousness of life because it increases the sensitivity towards existence. Life then appears as a miracle because it is not taken for granted. The living in the desert really are. In the desert, thanks to privation, the senses are refined and become capable of grasping the invisible. It is therefore necessary to desertify our

soul to reactivate its inner eyes, the only ones capable of grasping the invisible, the original Form of things, the underlying meaning of which they are woven. ‘Goodbye’, said the fox. ‘’ Here is my secret. It’s very simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye’’ Just as happens in the sands of the desert, metamorphosis and the interpretation of transformability become the common thread that unites the three deliveries, each inspired by an emblematic element of the Bvlgari Oasis.

BVLGARI - FW21 PRE DELIVERY - ESSENTIA

Def. ‘’ The essence is defined as the proper and unchanging nature of things, that part from which the changing parts are originate’’ Dizionario Treccani

The desert is a mysterious reality sometimes interrupted by the presence of oases, where nature seems to take its revenge: the green is greener, the fruits more colorful and the atmosphere more pleasant. Everything proclaims the victory of life. Man exploits the resources available and derives a benefit that radiates all around him. This is the essence of the ecological reality of the desert. The choice of neutral and bright colors (beige,

Black and Amaranth, Lavender), but also the playful details such as the fringes are inspired by the contrast of a florid nature (represented by the touches of color) which is highlighted by the monochrome of the desert ( represented by beiges and neutrals). The Oasis collection opens with the concept of metamorphosis and rebirth through the completely unexpected use of a new material, the protagonist of the pre-delivery: raffia.

177

Tough and coarse fiber, obtained from the leaves of raphia palms, a type of tropical African tree that flower and bear fruit only once during their life cycle and then dry up and generate new small stems from the base. 178

Raffia thus becomes the emblem of how we can use natural resources through the concept of material transformability. Il deserto è una realtà misteriosa e desolata talvolta interrotta dalla presenza delle oasi, dove la natura pare che si vendichi: il verde è più verde, i frutti più coloriti e l’atmosfera più ridente. Tutto proclama la vittoria della vita.

BVLGARI - FW21 1st DELIVERY - LINPHA

“The desert is beautiful (..) One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams... What makes the desert beautiful (..) is that somewhere it hides a well“ Antoine de Saint Exupéry

The desert is the absence of human presence, silence and relative uniformity of landscape, but hidden beneath the sands, a network of aquifers flows, an enormous lymphatic system that gives life only to those who know where to look for it and how to exploit it. Thus the first delivery is inspired by the element of water, so precious and rare that those who live in the desert also call it blue gold.

Hence, the colors become lighter and softer than the pre-delivery, from the warm beige of raffia we move on to colder shades with Butter Onyx and Ivory Opal. However, a precise touch of color remains with the introduction of Aquamarine, a fresh and light interpretation of the concept of blue gold of the desert, a reference to the world of stones such as Paraiba or Sapphire, also precious gifts of nature.

181

In fact, to highlight its symbolic value, we find it declined on precious leathers with shiny finishes such as galuchat, but also in a deeper and more sophisticated version: Petrolio. Also spokesperson for this precious element, the decoration of the ribs and the finishing of the chains have been reserved for petroleum, becoming the absolute protagonist on bags in total 182

Ivory calf and embellished by the combination with iconic shoulder straps in light gold. The whole palette of the Lynpha delivery is highlighted by the contrasts between leather and rib, by the use of shiny materials such as varnished calf and multicolored karung, reproducing the gaudy and richly nuanced reflections of the waters that make space between the sand, bringing with them life.

183

In addition to the cold and crystalline tones, the sap of the desert also inspires a new concept of mutability. This time it is the shape and dimensions that undergo a radical change thanks to the introduction of new shapes such as the Tote, in its many variations and sizes. The first delivery is inspired by the element of water, so precious and rare that those who live in the desert also call it blue gold. 184

BVLGARI - FW21 2nd DELIVERY - MIRAGE

’No caravan has ever reached its mirage, but only the mirages have put the caravans in motion’’ Henri Desroche

The mirage, in French mirage - from mirer or ‘’ to aim, to see ‘’ - is an optical phenomenon that allows very distant objects to appear as reflections on the ground. There are some very rare and fascinating types of mirage that reflect and reveal the presence of objects positioned just beyond the horizon line, others that modify the perception of distance by making objects appear larger and closer than they are in. reality.

The mirage has always been part of popular traditions, often with a figurative meaning of unattainable illusion but also of vision, understood as a suggestive alteration of reality, synonymous with sudden revelation. The visionary is therefore the one who looks beyond boundaries and horizons, who imagines the non-existent and who would like to reach it by building reflections that are different from those usually perceived.

185

Delivery II therefore concludes the Elysium collection with a Bulgari interpretation of the transformations and distortions inspired by the phenomenon of mirages from which it takes its name. The lines and elements become larger and thus the theme of the Maxi is born, developed in different shapes: 186

The classic matelassé of the Diamond Blast takes space between the frames of the collection shapes, the handles of the serpenti line are reflected and distorted on the flaps giving rise to the Maxi chain theme and finally the classic I delivery logos are completely reworked in the BVL Maxi logo.

187

We have now reached the end of our journey on Elysium, the sun hits the horizon line that appears wavy, like the matelassé of the cabochons, moreover the natural colors of the desert become warmer, intense and decisive: the Caramel Topaz and the Oxblood dominate the Mirage palette softened and balanced by touches of Blush Quartz and Ivory Opal. 188
