Start to dream

WELCOME TO GRIMILDE MALATESTA’S WORLD

Welcome to my world of fabrics, of photos, of paint and neverending imagination. Because art may be not necessary to live, but it’s necessary to be aliv and makes it worth living.

So welcome to my corner of the internet, where you can purchase one of a kind piece of wearable art, or be photographed to show not who ou are everyday, but who you dream of being.

 

Purpose

MY BRAND’S GOAL

Grimilde Malatesta started as a nom de plume, to separate what once was just a dream from what the world wanted to be my serious everyday job. It grew, feeding on my hopes and my determination, on countless hours of study and now more than ten years of practice and experience.

I can happily say that creating beauty to feed sould is my job. Being it the drool-worthy dress that makes you feel you’re living in your favourite movie or simply an image on social media that for one instant allows you to feel relief from the real world.

 

What I do

MY SKILLS

My main focus is on creating one of a kind bespoke garments that look like they came out of a movie. I have been doing this since 2011, and the love and deep appreciation my work keeps receiving has always exceeded my more optimistic expectations.

I design all of my own patterns, I study historical costumes, I deal in corsetry, I dye fabrics, I can design textures to emphasize characters, I weather and break down the garments to make them look really alive (I offer this service for costume made by others as well).
I also design accessories and style wigs, both historical and fantasy.
I also have several years of experience as a photographer, and as a costume designer, I will make sure not only you’ll look amazing in my shots, but also your costume!
Though I do not sell the patterns to my costumes, I do have some tutorials.
