In April, as the new collection was going into production, Davide Cristofaro did something that usually stays behind the studio door: he showed every variation before choosing, and asked his followers which one should come to life first.
There is only one design. At its centre, the crest of the maison, with the crown, the wings and the lion. On either side, Davide Cristofaro’s name written in Chinese characters, the hanzi that give the collection its name. Only the colours change: Oro Nero, Alba Dorata, Fortuna Reale, Luce Rosata, Spirito della Giada, Crepuscolo d’Oriente.
“Not every variation will be made. Some will become silk. Others will remain a vision.”
Replies came in from all our social channels, in many languages, in the comments and in private messages. Everyone voted for a favourite, and every colour found someone to choose it. Then, day by day, the preferences took shape.
“The whole collection is beautiful, goes with any outfit”
“De impresionante belleza, el de color negro”
“Design bellissimo e originale. Il rosa e il blu scuro sono i miei colori preferiti”
“Sicuramente nero e oro”
On 21 April came the choice: Oro Nero, Black Gold, leads the first launch; Crepuscolo d’Oriente, Eastern Twilight, follows; Fortuna Reale, Royal Fortune, completes the selection.
“To the other variations that left their mark… this is not goodbye. They remain a vision, waiting in turn to become reality.”
The three scarves are now in production. To be the first to know when they reach the shop, sign up for the newsletter.
