Gianni Molaro
GIANNI MOLARO was born in 1966, in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Italy. At 20 years old,
Gianni Molaro made his debut in the world of high fashion. His work as a couturier is
inspired by classical art masters from the XVII-XVIII centuries, as well as by modern art -
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.
Our exhibition features his work "The Gossip Girls", the fabric-made counterpart of his
fashion-sculpture of the same name, which was exhibited in 1999 in the Capitoline
museum in Naples during one of his notorious city-wide fashion performances.
