Paelì Couture

Handmade in Italy by Paula Elena Liguori

Paula Elena Liguori - Fashion Designer e Couturiere

I'm basically an optimist, unconventional. I grew up among my mother's pins and fabrics and my father's paintings and songs, transversally between the rigid education at work and the desire to party. Multifaceted and versatile, I shun stereotypes, I experiment. I love "drawing" people because I love knowing their soul.

I was the little girl of my mother's old Italian high school tailoring. I well remember the hours spent marking the fabrics with "long stitches" and all the tricks that were done on the clothes to create the perfect fit. My mother wanted me to fully understand how to design a dress based on a person's physical structure and how to correctly remove the defects during the fitting. She wanted me to be able to make garments that are designed on the person. I have been working in the fashion and tailoring sector for over 15 years, during which I have attended recognized professional training courses and carried out important industrial internships and with seamstresses from historic Italian tailors. I learned how to manage production by combining the vision and care of the ancient high school of tailoring with the design and packaging techniques of the industry. My business offers exclusive and customized analysis and design for individuals and companies.

My brand is called Paelì Couture. Among the people who have chosen me there are mainly professionals and entrepreneurs such as Michela Bendinelli, business consultant for purchases and quality control of important Italian and foreign companies.

Serena Guerini, Miss Derek and contestant for Miss Italy and Miss World 2019. I started an exclusive and targeted design journey with Serena Guerini, who in her photo is wearing one of the T-shirts from my "VooDoo" line. I also design for Paolino DJ, radio speaker of 105 and Sky, I create customized garments for him.

I am the stylist of the entrepreneur Madame Sìsì, Dragqueen and manager of Art Club Musical Theater in which theatrical performances are staged, often visited (both as guests and as performers) by other famous drag queens, managers and other show business personalities.

I created the dresses of Valentina Corvino, testimonial for the second consecutive year, at the 79th edition of the Venice Film Festival Starlight 2022 with wonderful pure Italian silk of superior quality.

My Festival outfits have been featured in various online magazines including Rumors, Clary and Elle.

I manage shootings in various Italian locations, including those with the model Valentina Corvino. For these shootings I create designs aimed at the context of the location and the participating brands.

I am Valentina Corvino's stylist for 2023, already confirmed for the 80th edition of the Starlight Venice Film Festival, in which I will create the clothes for Valentina Corvino and also for Francesca Rettondini, actress and producer as well as president of the Starlight Cinema Award.

I have designed many dresses, with unique line and print design.

I have designed a limited edition clothing line that will soon be launched on the market.
