Lisa della Chiesa

Costume Design

Lisa Della Chiesa, a Textile Artist and Costume Designer, holds a First Class Honours degree in Applied Materials, (Fine Arts), with a focus on Textiles Art and Artefact from The National College of Art and Design, Dublin. Further enriching her skills, she completed a semester at MOME University in Budapest, specialising in Textile and Fashion Design.

Currently residing between Dublin and the West of Ireland, Lisa is a concept-driven artist dedicated to zero-waste cutting and the use of second-hand or locally sourced materials.

Her artistic approach revolves around constructing narratives through textiles, utilising the body as a canvas for exploration. She has designed and made wearable sculptures in response to themes such as body dysmorphia, consumption and climate change drawing inspiration from her deep interest in Greek Mythology.

Driven by a love for electronic music, contemporary dance and performance art, Lisa has found her calling in costumes for stage and screen productions. Her fascination lies in understanding how costumes contribute to a performers’ immersion and transformation in their roles. Currently pursuing an MFA in Stage Design at The Lir Academy, Lisa is majoring in Costume Design, aiming to further develop her skills and apply them innovatively and ethically in the creation of costumes that breathe life into scripts.

She also freelances as a sculptural/performance artist and is very open to collaborations.
