Do you still remember me, Florence?..



2011. Inspiration board and collection. 
Florence. Sandro Botticelli. Early Renaissance.
"Primavera" painted by Sandro Botticelli in 1482 is the central piece of the whole idea. She is Spring - graceful, light and tender. She is searching for Winter to make Summer come. There was no time for her to blossom this year, so she stays on a road where she is supposed to be between Winter and Summer. But she realizes that there is no place for her there. And she has to go... to come back again after next Winter.
I made emphasis on reproducing soft and smooth lines that were adored by many Renaissance artists, using jersey material and the technique of draping to imitate the plasticity of form.
