In my opinion he is one of Italy's most hardworking and super successful fashion designer. His creations speak for themselves and totally has a trademark that is truly Rocco Barocco!!!
Born Rocco Muscariello in 1944 in Naples, the young Rocco started in early in fashion working in his hometown's boutique, Filippo. In 1962 he attended the Academia delle Belle Arti wherein he studied fine arts. In the mid 60's he worked with Giles and became the skecth artist at De Barentzen. His Barocco label was getting a good headway when he started to join a group in 1968 to form a fashion atelier, unfortunately the group disbanded in 1974. Fortunately by this time the designer already had a great following of loyal and affluent clients that he was able to start a new atelier. And the rest is history.
Since then the Barocco designs are known to be ahead of its time and the designer's choice of fabric and materials are always impeccable. He is known to love the black and black and white palettes, optical effects and the use of repetitive creative patterns. The Rocco Barocco brand name is also seen in his line of jeans, knitwear, ready-to-wear, scarves, fashion accessories, leather wallets, leather bags, perfumes, and linens. Indeed the man who came from the island of Ischia is no doubt one of the biggest name in the world of international fashion.
