Vito Antonio Lerario is a multifaceted creative who works across art, photography, fashion, theater, and curation. Having studied at an art school, he specialized in fashion, tailoring, and pattern making, working as a fashion designer with publications in industry magazines.
A collector of vintage clothing with an internationally renowned archive, in 2008 he co-founded Spazio 1900 with historian Luciano Lapadula, which operated until 2015: a hybrid of vintage boutique, tailoring, and cultural laboratory. He collaborates with national and international organizations, including the University of Bari. In 2012, Louis Vuitton featured his work, and in 2014, Condé Nast released his capsule collection.
Since 2009, he has worked as a stylist and costume designer for theater, film, and photography. In 2019, he directed and designed the sets for the show “Moda sotto le bombe.” He also develops curatorial activities for exhibitions and events.
Photography began her career in 2018. In 2025, she created “Tempus Fugit,” a four-act project published as a photography book in a limited edition of fifty copies. It explores the female interior through sixteen portraits, where every change of clothing becomes a threshold between different identities.
Her latest photographic project, “Archivio degli Inutili,” aesthetically rehabilitates discarded objects through Polaroid, transforming them from functional relics to consecrated presences.
Since 2024, she has taught fashion illustration and textile design at the Ideacademy in Bari.
Currently, in her studio, she creates applied art in various fields.
Her interests include costume history, music, especially new wave, cinema, and literature.
