Marella Ferrera

The sicilian designer starts working in the atelier her parents have opened in Catania in 1958. “I was born among fabrics“, she says about herself. She studies at the Acadmey of costume and fashion in Rome, where she makes her debut in 1993.
From that moment on it has been a success story. Her style is made of thoughts and images, sober lines which are at the same time “constructed” using innovative materials such as lava stone, obsidian, terracotta, rock crystal, copper threads, papyrus-like paper, textile paper, cork, palm roots.
In 2008 she reopens the Biscari Museum (now called “MF Museum&Fashion”) where she moves her Maison headquarters.
