The Sahar collection was created in 2018 and stems from my fascination with the ethnic costumes of Africa. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetic richness of traditional patterns and the virtuosity of the skills employed, I developed capes that are the result of my textile interpretation and my desire to create a contemporary and personal version of these pieces. I suggested above all a re-reading of the artisanal techniques, according to my own manual knowledge. In this way, I created a graphic aesthetic by focusing on the pictoriality of the surfaces, conceived as textile paintings, where materials and colors are associated like touches of paint in an perceptible spontaneity of gesture. The pieces are thus vibrant and alive, charged with the manual gesture, and oscillate between revisited capes, textile pieces and artistic objects.
