Ciao grew up developing an interest in fashion, trying to recreate the designs she saw on TV and in magazines.[6] She began using petals for illustration after wanting to preserve a red rose that was given to her.[6][7] Her designs are mainly dresses, using natural form of each flower on her illustrations, so each piece has an element of realism as well as fantasy.[8] She has created illustrations for companies such as Chanel, Christian Dior, and Fendi.[9]
