Ilona Staller, better known as Cicciolina, is turning up the heat this Ferragosto with a limited-edition T-shirt series. Six designs, just 500 pieces each, all stamped with her signature and loaded with rare, decades-spanning images from her personal archive.

The photos printed on each tee pull from 1978, the year Cicciolina became a cultural lightning rod. Back then, she hijacked Italian TV and radio with a mix of eroticism, politics, and performance art, turning herself into a global symbol of freedom, defiance, and unshakable glamour. The collection’s images trace her evolution from scandalous icon to a living manifesto for sexual and artistic liberation.

These images are my story, my joy, my battles,” Cicciolina says. “Every photo tells a tale. More love, less war!!

Made from premium cotton, the shirts are cut unisex. At €60 apiece, they’re priced like cult memorabilia because that’s exactly what they are: a piece of pop history, sealed with her name.
