AUTUMN – WINTER COLLECTION 2001/2002

“HEROINES AND MEDIEVAL KNIGHTS”

The medieval mysticism with its secrets handed down the centuries makes the knights the last “mystery men”; so the desire to be, to dress and adorn oneself like them.

This woman, dangerously fragile, fulfils her desire to protect herself wearing taffetas, leather, furs, chiffon and organza laser sewn.

Leather corsets as tight as armours, T-shirts “armed” sewed together by silk threads, sculpture skirts cut “al vivo”, clothes with “metallic mesh”.

The style is inspired to the Opra de’ Pupi, which again is tied to the old traditions of the island and to the rigorous Sicilian puppet tradition of the Napoli Brothers emanating its magic: heroines and bewitching seducers, heroes and traitors, Bradamante and Angelica, Orlando and Gano di Magonza, Tancredi and Clorinda, come back to life in a sort of “theatrical magic” through the proud glances, the typical gestural language , the rhythmic and symmetrical movements of the puppet models.
