Créateur de costumes et décors pour la pièce "Chez Ninon de Lenclos" de Martine Amsili
Short introduction to Lisbeth Buonanno and her work
Born in Athens, she is a graduate of the I.N.A.L.C.O institute in Paris. She then spent few years abroad in Beijing creating her own fashion workshop.
She came back to France to assume a position of Haute Couture assistant designer for the house of Hanae-Mori (Japanese Designer) in Paris.
She needed more creative freedom. She moved again to Asia facing other challenges. She met these challenges with flying colours and realised her first opera as costume designer, she won the congratulations of the Cultural Minister of Singapore for her work.
She participated with the "Nouveaux Créateurs" to the "
French Fashion Furor 2000" in Singapore and won Cartier's support.
Knowing well that she needed more expertise, she came back again to Paris and worked as "responsable de spectacles" at Bastille Opera.
As director of an ambitious theatre project, Lisbeth Buonanno created both the costumes and sets for Martine Amsili's Chez Ninon de Lenclos, a 17th Century fiction comedy yet romantic featuring such figures as Madame de Sevigne, Ninon de Lenclos ...
Managing this project since 2002, her creative work has finally won its due recognition.
The Regional Chambers of Arts invited her to exhibit her costumes at the Carrousel du Louvre in December 2004. Her stand was judged the centre of excellence of the whole show.
Mr. Jean-Paul Huchon offered his personal support and congratulations. The play is now running.
The Lisbeth Buonanno signature line features a dualism between her minimalist design concepts and her baroque-influenced style.
Her timeless creations alternate between sobriety and frivolity.
Though historical and cultural themes continue to provide inspiration for her ebullient prints and embroidered corsets, at times seductive or adorned while at other times golden shimmers, the manner in which they are combined reveals an upbeat touch of elegance and femininity.
