Eleanor Amoroso


Eleanor Amoroso has a dark and unique style that was first noticed just a little less than a year ago.  After graduating from University of Westminister, the artist gained notoriety for her experiments with knitwear, sculptural shapes and her view of the human body. After a break through collection based on handcrafted garments and accessories, she now comes with a more dramatic mood.
The Spring-Summer 2012 Collection shows a point of view. The human body is seen not only as an object, but also as a statement to be made. It’s wrapped around, played with in a way that is powerful without being heavy.  It’s a new silhouette.
She was initially inspired by Japanese rope bondage, ancient macramé wall hangings and tribal jewelry. She has worked with Hungarian footwear designer Julia Kaldy to create the accessories.  The designer once explained that her process of creation is developed throughout different pieces that once in the same picture, make a collection. All her garments are unique separately, and when mixed together, they create different images, always following a concept and an idea.
The lightness of the fabrics brings a flow that contrasted with the detailed handwork makes a perfect combination of innovation and style. The colors are based on black and white contrasts adding a new dimension to her line of clothing. It makes us wonder about what is coming next.
