Steele on marble
Curiosity and openness to new horizons continue to boost
the intensity of a passion. It was in this exciting perspective
that we embraced our collaboration with Lawrence Steele on
the new Marsotto edizioni collection. With an eagerness to
experiment and to interact with a world seemingly so remote
from ours as that of fashion.
Whilst we share the same dedication to strictness of method
and mastery of manufacture, the very nature of our new
projects demanded an exceptional empathy between
fashion designer, art director and maker.
Thus a mutual exchange of means and disciplines was
established. Marsotto set about transforming chamfers and
flanges into delicate hems and seams, while Lawrence
challenged the restraints of a natural fabric like marble, with
its often rigid and fragile weft and warp.
Working together in a logic of doing and undoing, we
implemented an ever-changing template/pattern until the
perfect silhouette was attained.
Marsotto edizioni is thus enriched with a collection
distinguished, as in a silk and cotton patchwork, by an
elegant blend of creative flair and rigorous geometry.
The intricately balanced expressions of Steele on marble
lent fresh impetus to the interpretation of our products, in a
sort of sinuous fashion show on awesomely high heels.
