he secrets of brocades and silks, jacquards and cashmere told in a book by textile creative director Michela Finaurini "The discovery of a fantastic world that we may be wearing without ever knowing it."
” No one can explain how the notes of a Mozart melody, or the folds of a Titian drapery, produce their essential effects. If you do not feel them, no one can make you feel them by reasoning.”
John Ruskin Writer, poet, painter, art critic 1819-1900
The play of colors and textures, warp and weft, the history of textiles and how they “speak” to us, the myths and legends about them… You will find this and much more within the pages of a book to be read all in one go, like a long story, or in small pieces, a daily companion that reveals the intimate connection between us and the fabrics of the past, present and future. To recognize, through the words of the author, that fabric is “a soul over skin.”
