The Sicilian textile artist and fashion designer Filly Cusenza from Bagheria does not simply make clothes - it is wearable art made of fabric, thread and buttons.
Her brand is the cartoon girl "Filly Biz" with bright lips and disheveled hair, and aims to emphasize the individuality of the wearer - once with the character of a mermaid, another time with a woman with striped socks - always provoking a smile on the face of the person opposite.
Filly has retained her childishness and is therefore just right for women who radiate happiness and optimism. Not only in Sicily Filly wows with her textile art, she is also out and about internationally. Especially in France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan and the US people love her wearable art from Sicily.
But Filly is not only exceptional when it comes to fashion. She also uses her textile art for interior design. Filly's wall hangings, bed canopies, curtains, pillows and blankets are simply overwhelming. You can see it for yourself in our holiday lettings Azzurro and Verde of Casa Chloé. Here, Filly has designed the living room and bedroom - in Azzurro inspired by the sea, in Verde by nature - things which abound in Sicily.
Our special thanks for the following photos goes to the team of Filly Biz:

These photos were taken in the former fishing village Sant'Elia in December(!) 2018. The Sicilian Winter seems like spring to northern Europeans.
