Couture Velvet Collection

For the Couture Velvet collection, Clarissa wanted to connect Italy's historical excellence with a completely modern and glamorous approach, personally studying how to incorporate handwoven velvets with late 19th-century looms in Florence into acetate using Italian Renaissance techniques. The velvet, previously treated in the Atelier on its reverse side, is manually cut to the edge without seams and only then inserted into the acetate using permanently adhesive materials that never lose grip, even when exposed to wet conditions or extreme heat or cold. The exceptional craftsmanship of the handwoven velvet and brocade allows the fabric to last forever, just as it did with the garments of the nobility that we can still observe in historical museums.
