Tell us what are you doing and what does your Instagram nickname mean?
I graduated in July in Communication Sciences at the University of Verona. The environment there, reminds me of overwhelming, suffocating, every individual criticism of the individual. Shedding into books, abandoning their opinions. So I decided to listen to my deeper passions, starting a master in Fashion Promotion and Communication in Milan, at the Istituto Marangoni. I lived in a city too small for those who, like me, feel the need to express themselves in full, a town where the ostentatious veil of a classic taste dresses the people walking in the streets, in a masquerade parade by an aura of monotony. Not that judgments have ever hurt me in the depth. I feel that in Milan the metro which has always belonged to me has freed itself from the sordid place where it has been closed for years. On Instagram my name is Trixiratropo. I remember the idea was born one of those afternoons in the classroom during one of the many breaks. Sofia is a dear friend who spits any name. She called me Trixi, Tricio, Triceratopo. From there I joined the two names, Trixi and added to the name of the dinosaur. (Months after my brother told me that Toy Story 3 has a triceratopo called Trixie. Lavatricio was the second choice for the nick).
How much fashion affects your life?
Fashion has always been a central place in my life and in my family's life. Everything was born from my grandfather and then from my father. I love my father, as we all love viscerally fashion. It’s thanks to him that my passion for the advent of fabrics, colors, and materials has begun to create new geometries that go beyond the classic embroidered logo on the shirt, the shoe matched to the purse or the canonical combination. Promote the daring, the new, the different. My dad is a fashion designer. For this reason at home, it’s not uncommon to find fabrics, prototypes, pins, color folders, semi-dressed mannequins. Then know the backdrop of the packaged product: sewing machine files, dummies and irons sets, ready-to-wear clothes hangers, always suggestive items for me despite having seen them over and over again. So if I think about fashion, I think of my dad. Together they have a huge weight in my life. Even today, at 22, I always need his help to buy something, of his advice that he has (unfortunately?) yet a big deal of power over my decisions.
Tell us three things in and three things out for you.
Thinking of something out, the first thought that suddenly resounds in my head is a person, nobody in particular. I tell the genre: total look seen in the showcase, e-commerce, whatever else and bought. Out why today's "influencers" support this format and are followed by a thousand teenagers who often imitate them all around. It’s a shame to me that those who create something fresh and fresh, those who carry a breath of air never felt, don’t have the same persuasive power. Out why buying a total look created by others for "us". So you kill the creativity that belongs to us. Only if you have a strong identity you can understand that you don’t have to buy packages made by someone for you, for her, for everyone indiscriminately. Fashion is art, it's creativity, it’s to bring your grandpa's jacket to something more sought-after. Out for me are ripped jeans. Besides the bad ones I find them useless in any season: in winter they are cold, in summer they are hot, in the middle of the seasons are just unpleasant to the look. I put out the Pocahontas metropolitan style outfits: jackets, pants, feathered sandals, fallen laces, and beads. Ah, if I can add a quarter, I despise pastel colors. What I am embracing is the with extra long sleeves. Not having visible hands fascinates me. The designers create and prop up maxi sleeves but I often wear men's dresses are in full mood "no hands". I love the different volumes that you can create in a single boss. That's why I put in the 80's padded shoulders. At this time in my life, I would put padded straps everywhere. I recently bought a vintage leather nail with worn-out shoulders at the expense of the exaggerated, a man's dress with a shoulder-padded, as well as having robbed the grandfather's wardrobe. Finally, I’m happy that the "mix and match" are becoming more and more popular, a style that I love. Mixing and combining textures, materials, and colors by playing and jumping between different ages and cultures is what I think is best to express everyone's personality. But, "are we resorting to the mix and match because nobody has created anything so innovative and upsetting as they did the great names of fashion in the last century?" I think so.
The piece of your dreams?
I don’t have a piece of my dreams. Speaking to me, not being a lover of luxury brands, I never wanted anything unattainable. The iconic great masterpieces of the great black tube, Hermes Birkin, are timeless for me, but I see them far away from my fashion concept and for that, I never bothered them. I appreciate and carry out meticulous research on Milanese vintage stores. I live here recently, I don’t know how to move in the right places.
Do you think you can inspire with your looks? What makes them unique?
I don’t think I'm so influential to inspire somebody, someone who can really support my outfit. But it happened to me that someone wrote me to ask me where I took those pants rather than that necklace. It made me happy because they were people away from my world who took pieces of my outfit to carry them in their imagery. By attending a fashion school I would like to inspire someone in the corridors, as many guys inspire me every day. There is a lot to look at but look different from those of my city, Padova. Looks interested, curious, partakers, more than sham look. What makes my outfits unique is that I think they are more than the bosses in themselves. I buy clothes everywhere: in the market, in second-hand stores. Work clothes like my pants, streetwear brand or purchase in more search stores like Antonioli or Prima Pagina. Here, I think this set of styles, mixing the cheap to something more expensive is what distinguishes me more. I don’t like accessories, I have five rings and two necklaces I wear every day. They have become part of my being now.
