New Orleans Fashion Designer, Biagia Rosinia

Do you have a product line you would like photographed for your marketing and media?

This session was from a recent clothing line from Miss Biagia Rosinia.  She is a young creative who loves working with clothing styles and textures. 

From Biagia:
With most clothing I design I like for the silhouette to be on the simpler side and then to think of fun, new ways to manipulate the fabric I’m working with.  With most of these pieces, I was really interested in finding ways to reinvent relatively simple fabrics and make them look more upscale.  The bulk of my work uses cotton blends which are easy to work with and can be transformed without compromising the integrity of the fabric.  I used acrylic paint to add texture and patterns to a lot of the clothing; paint is one of my favorite things to add to designs because it will be little different every time, making every piece is one of a kind. 
        Another key element with these pieces was finding uses for the extra scraps of fabric that usually get thrown away at the end of a project.  This is how the idea for the big, fluffy jacket came about - the whole jacket is made from little squares of scrap fabric stitched onto a base layer.  One of the pants and a top feature these little fabric scraps as well.  I worked with Suzanne Perron (local New Orleans designer) while I was living in New Orleans, and she was generous enough to give me a lot of the excess fabric she didn’t want; this gave me access to some really cool textiles that dressed up the designs.  Other than that most of the pieces are just a result of experiment with beading, different shapes and small design details that tie the looks together.

I find her clothes to be unique and stylish for the fun girl with a fashion sense.  Here is my behind the scenes video of the studio work that accompanies her session. See you next time!  -  GK
