a social reflection of urban textures

Getting inspired by urban textures. I'm trying to see between the lines that surround me. I'm spotting little details that have always been around me but I never stopped to look. This collection is about choosing the right way to mix these textures up so they become a beautiful whole. It's what living in an urban society full of diversity is all about.

Sardinian Jewellery

          The 1st May is a big celebration day for Cagliari that honors Sant Efisio in a small church by my house in the neighborhood of Stampace. People from all over Sardinia come to see the statue of the saint that is taken by foot to Pula accompanied by beautiful oxen some 40 km away! On such occasions in Sardinia there is always a parade of traditional costumes and the bigger the celebration the more glamorous it gets. The costumes are all made one by one by hand with the most exquisite fabrics and each region wishes to show off their craft skills and their beautiful women that wear them. But no traditional costume can be complete without accessories so it's the perfect occasion to wear the beautiful handmade gold and silver filigree jewellery that Sardinia is famous for. These pieces are usually inherited or ordered specifically by well skilled goldsmiths.  For me it was the perfect occasion to get a close look at these inspirational pieces and single out the details of a colourful parade, here they are...
