Dalí's surrealism especially. His work gradually penetrated the two complementary worlds

of Art and of Fashion. Gianni Molaro's creations form part of various prestigious private

collections, and are also displayed in museums. The city of Naples itself has been

transformed on many occasions into a stage for his extraordinary

"FashionArt performances". Celebrities such as Sophia Loren, Ilona Staller (Cicciolina),

Amanda Lear and Amy Stewart form part of Gianni's ardent admirers, and have often served

as muses for the artist.

Gianni Molaro's new creative forms have sparked the interest of many modern art critics,

who rate his innovations very highly: Fashion-Sculptures (usually made from bronze) and

Sculpture-paintings made of fabric. 

Molaro's work with bridal fashion was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records a

total of 3 times: For the longest bridal veil in the world, the largest wedding gown in the

world, and finally the most expensive wedding gown in the world, made with over 7000

diamonds.
