Rocco Barocco Handbags Company History.

As a youth, he worked for Filippo, the best-known boutique on the island of Ischia and became besotted with vacationing stars, from Gianna Maria Canale to Miriam Blu, from Maria Callas to Anna Magnani, all of whom had high praise for the sketches in his notebook.

The sacred fire of fashion was burning in his soul and he left his beloved Ischia for the capital. That was in the summer of 1966. Fashion shows were still being held in Palazzo Pitti in Florence but Rome was the capital of Fashion: Schubert, Forquet, Cappucci, Fagiani, Irene Galitzine, and the Fontana sisters all lived and worked in the Eternal City. He started working at the atelier of Monsier Gilles and that is where he created Barocco.

The adventure had begun. Ever since the name of Rocco Barocco appeared in the world of fashion, the designer’s shows that offered an image of woman not always in line with the times. He attempts to break away from the clichés of the day and the prevailing slogans. Though never dogmatic, he continuously studies ways of proposing a real form of eternal femininity, with painstaking care and a consistency far from superficial.
