I’m Mariachiara, a writer moving between London and Naples, two cities that sharpen my attention to how culture speaks, fractures, and reforms itself. I write at the intersection of fashion, music, and cultural criticism, tracing the moments where aesthetics stop behaving politely.

I began my education with a focus on the humanities, then earned a BA in Comparative Languages and Cultures at L’Università degli Studi di Napoli L’Orientale, concentrating on Arabic and French, where I developed the ability to read nuance, interpret coded language, and navigate cultural dissonance. Later, during my MA in Fashion Journalism & Editorial Direction at the Vogue College of Fashion in London, I learned to approach writing as both craft and pressure: a way to test ideas, confront narratives, and hold criticism with intent.

Editorially, nss magazine in Milan has been my most formative ground. There, I published across a wide range of themes - from fashion culture to social shifts - taking on topics I had never approached before. It challenged my voice, sharpened my editorial judgement, and pushed me into the real mechanics of digital publishing: pace, precision, structure, visibility.

Before nss, Eroica Fenice was my first entry point into the world of online journalism: writing and editing cultural pieces while learning the architecture of SEO and the mechanics of digital visibility. And even earlier, La Testata Magazine marked my very first steps: small, but foundational, the moment I understood what it means to write for the public.

I’m drawn to the frictions, where fashion intersects with memory, where music slips into politics, where culture reveals itself in textures, silences, or atmospheres. My work follows tension: what disturbs the surface, what refuses to settle, what lingers long enough to demand language.
