One of my most beloved Architekt is ADOLF LOOS.
I first discovered his great talent during a trip to Prague at the end of the 80’s, then as a young Architecture student in Venezia, I focused all my studies on his work. His love for classical Architecture, his minimalism and his modernism had a strong influence on my culture and my style. I love the clear lines, rigid interior spaces, flat roofs, terraces, absence of any ornament and decoration he used in all of his works.
Happy me!
Last week I found a trunk full of LETRASET EUROSTILE BOLD EXTENDED and MEDIUM EXTENDED. This clean and futuristic typeface was designed by ALDO NOVARESE in 1962 and was largely used in the 70’s sci-fi movies and tv shows. In the original STAR TREK tv series and movies, the font appears on the exterior of all Starfleet vessels and insignias worn by the crew.
The right type for intergalactic communications!
I love shoulder-bags!

I have been designing jewelry since I was a child.
In the 1970s and 80s I would see my mother graced with incredible jewels created by architects, designers and painters – jewels more like small wearable sculptures or structures than the more usual rich and boring bourgeois items. Some I still jealously keep.
Back to the 90’s!
I am very excited to show you my last project. Dedicated to one of the most stylish jersey of the 90’s, the new T90 design code has just become available and it will be a real 2022 must have!
Silk-screen printed in Italy on an Italian cotton, it will be used to produce a new summer collection of handbags, shoulderbags, pouches and mini-bags. Soon available at SUPERLEGGERO
