Chiara Tagliaferri
This BEA MUSE inspired us with her voice, the same voice that led her success and that amuses thousands of people by telling incredible stories. Chiara Tagliaferri is a storyteller, a fascinating and charming woman who expresses her inner power through words.
Aside from being a very successful published author, Chiara actively works on several different podcast channels, collaborating with different platforms and plenty of fellow writers, artists and professionals.
We had the pleasure of meeting her in Rome, we got the chance to talk about her timely take on personal style, the beautiful magic of clothing, the dreamy narrative around Italian fashion and its nostalgic traditions.
She ended up telling us a beautiful story – the story of how she fell in love with dressing up:
“I was born in Piacenza in Emilia where time goes by in strange ways, where dust disappears some things, and leaves many others untouched. Passing regional borders one would imagine that certain things are forgotten and instead the dancing halls resist. It is in one of these dancing halls that many years ago I met Raoul Casadei and understood the real meaning of dressing up. The king of the ballroom was a magician, he would make chiffon miracles come out of our parents’ wardrobes, moving and clashing in a second the sense of decorum we knew. Most importantly, he managed to replace the sense of shame, so deep and profound in my whereabouts, with the desire of being seen. The distance between the Emilia way and the west is just a dream held together by flashing signs and lamè dresses, this is how Casadei taught me that there is no difference in dressing up for a red carpet night or dressing up for a twirl in a dancing hall.”
