Synopsis
This is the first title in the new series 'Stardust' devoted to the new wave of fashion stylists.
For the first time, the phenomenon of fashion is analysed as a cultural and artistic event and not as a mirror of vanity.
The first volume is dedicated to Carlo Rivetti, chairman of Sportswear Company, which brings together the trademarks C.P. Company and Stone Island. At first glance, it might appear more a chemical company than a traditional fashion house. But design, before artistic creation, concerns materials, not just fabrics of warp and woof, but hybrids born of various laminates, generated by special dying, washing and coating processes. This company, in fact, transforms woven material and presents a model, almost unique in its industry, worthy of analysis, because liberating production from the condition of traditional marketing, permits creative freedom and independent research.
