Atelier
quality and sophistication fused with State of the Art design. Unedited
forms and revolutionary textures modelled by the craft of artisans. GIOVANNI
VALENTINO presents fabrics and leather as they have yet to be seen. The
unique techniques developed by Giovanni for sculpture (Cybersnake®),
folding (Hexfold®) and incision (Hexscore®) are the fruit of invention,
research and innovation combined with the expertise of the Valentino family
tradition, now in its third generation. Time, patience and antique skills
are the requisities necessary to etch and pleat materials without lacerating
them or compromising their natural characteristics. A 19th century press
is the tool needed to achieve the eight-hour feat of delicately transforming
hide into a three dimensional reality. |
