"TEKNO-COUTURE"

The wisest dress-making tradition and the know-how of the oldest artisan work combine in one with the precision of high tech and future technologies creating a “techno-couture”.

The textile paper loses its original paper consistency, becoming softer and elevated to the dignity of material, invents futurist clothes with a vague retrò taste, evoking past echoes in the style and proportions but with new décor in inlaid acetate on vegetable fibres.

Strange but extraordinary is the use of papyrus paper telling stories of millenary traditions, taking us back to the “Grande River” banks or in the workshops in the old part of Syracusae and modelling cabans, bustiers and foot-wear.

Raised decorated gussets and ceramic cameo medallions give life to unusual macro-crochet work..

San Gallo lace embroidered on chiffon and on linen dies out on wistaria, aquamarine and sapphire blue shades in an incisive modern mood, while handmade filet is brought back to life on sculpture-clothing evoking the stories of the Princess of Salina on flounces meticulously embroidered by the embroideressess’ able hands.

Laser “sculptured” clothes invent new printed material with a three- dimensional effect contrasting the flowing “flowered” white shirts smelling of orange blossoms and jasmine.

Lastly the bride, in this eternal dichotomy between tradition and innovation, ethereal in an embroidered 18^th century veil or in a laser inlaid paper textile dress for a future figurative embroidery.
