Designer Bio: Concetta Ciapriano

As promised, we continue our profiles of the 2011 Designers in Residence at the Chicago Fashion Incubator.  Our next designer in question has had, what you could describe as, a lifelong love affair with the art of design.  Concetta Cipriano is utterly fascinated with the concept of transforming a simple yet metamorphic piece of fabric into a fully developed work of art.  Cipriano's pieces strive to express the delicate balance between between femininity and structure,  between intricacy and simplicity.  Her line, titled Cettina, is an aesthetically pleasant equilibrium of strength and beauty---the same elements the embody the women she designs for.  To view more of her sartorial creations, visit her website: www.cettinadesigns.com.
