CRISTINA BONUCCI
THE STILISTA DELL'IMMAGINE® PROFESSION
The Image is the Work of Art. The Person is the inspiring Muse.

A profession born from Art
Conceived by Cristina Bonucci in 2023, the Stilista dell'Immagine® profession brings together artistic sensitivity, technical knowledge and design expertise. Its field of practice is the Image of the Person as a whole: not a sum of individual features, but a presence to encounter, understand and interpret.

From encounter to design
The starting point is the Person. Listening and SENTIRE - a profound, intuitive awareness of the Person - open the way to a creative vision; that vision guides the design process without overriding the wishes of the Person taking part. Only then do the tools come into play: the study of the Body and its proportions, the Effects of Colour, Forms, Materials, Fabrics, and artistic and technical Drawing.

Three approaches to Style
Stile per Ripetizione (Style through Repetition), Stile per Contrasto (Style through Contrast) and Stile Indipendente (Independent Style) are three design approaches. They allow the Image to be composed by echoing formal characteristics, introducing intentional contrasts or following an autonomous composition. They are not categories into which the Person is placed, nor rules for correcting the body.

A work created together
The design takes shape through dialogue with the Person and with what they wish to express. The result is not conformity to an aesthetic model: it is an Image created with awareness, in which Art and technique make a personal vision visible.
