Ossimoro

Carmen Cellini e Georgiana Chirila

Milan, ITALY

Romanticize your life with your little flower to wear as a reminder.

Ossimoro was born from the shared passion for conceptual fashion of two partners and friends, Carmen Cellini and Georgiana Chirila, who are both artisans and fashion designers. They met during university courses, and a small gesture dramatically changed their lives. If Georgiana had not reached out to Carmen, they might not be here today, illustrating how a simple reminder or detail can alter one's path. Although Ossimoro was metaphorically born at their meeting, they only officially launched the brand in 2022, after the Covid period, driven by a strong artistic and expressive need.

They recall the day they were despairing over not finding work in their field. Spurred by the desire to change their destiny, they asked themselves, "Why don't we create it ourselves?" Combining their skills, visions, and distinctly different personalities, they created a brand conveying authenticity, care, and uniqueness.

You might wonder...

No, Ossimoro flowers are very light and range from 1 gram to maximum of 8 grams.

Not at all! Like any handcrafted product you need to take care of them, but they are not fragile. They resist impacts and falls.

Value in the details

The art of creating flowers

Their "flowers to wear" are made entirely by hand, starting from the initial sketch on paper to the final finishing touches. Particular attention is given to the modeling process, where each petal and its veining are sculpted by hand without the use of molds.

The basic steps in their production process include product design, material conditioning, modeling, firing, and finishing. Completing a tray of 30 pieces requires approximately three to four days of work. The techniques they use most often involve studying the veins of flowers to make the final product look realistic and developing their own color techniques.
