Collection: La Villa Clementine

Since 2008, Irene Clementine Ortega has been actively involved in artistic creation, fashion design, and historical textile research. After moving to Berlin in 2011, she specialized in dating antique fabrics and identifying pre-industrial garments. Learning experiences in Italy provided direct contact with high fashion and private wardrobe archives. Now based in Rome, Clementine's art introduces timeless characters through clothing, emphasizing visual elements like colours, textures, and shapes. Advocating expressive gestures, her unique pieces grant wearers transformative power to challenge roles and escape societal rigidity. Experimenting freely, she uses pure pigments for dyes, hand sewing, and repurposing antique garments. Collaborating with professionals in fashion, theatre, and textile artistry, she benefits from Italian suppliers' expertise in classic tailoring.
