“Miriam” is the story of a woman facing the fascinating yet merciless world of 1950s Hollywood. Miriam chases fame and lives in the spotlight. She seems to have everything she ever dreamed of, until her glamorous life slowly begins to fall apart. Along the way, she meets people who put her to the test, she comes to terms with the pain of a broken engagement, and she watches her dreams gradually fade away. As she begins to lose faith in her career and in herself, Miriam is forced to confront even the darkest sides of her own identity.

Yet every story full of struggle holds the possibility of a new beginning.

Through loss and rediscovering herself, Miriam begins to search for the light at the end of the tunnel. Her journey takes her far beyond Los Angeles, to Florida, London and Paris, with each city marking a new chapter in her transformation.

“Miriam” is my graduation project in Fashion Design at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, which I completed in July 2025. The film was selected and nominated at the Fashion Movie Festival in London, ASVOFF (A Shaded View on Fashion Film) in Paris and at the Berlin Fashion Film Festival.

MIRIAM

Wedding dress

A wedding dress sewn from heavenly threads,
but rings remain encased, entombed

Why me? She whispers to the darkness
Why not us? She screams

In the mirror she floats like a ghost, her tears fall, all around the house

A bride without a kiss,
and now all that remains is fire

His voice now just an echo in her head,
and the white of her dress no longer speaks of tenderness
