Leonarda Designs, Primitive-which is a contemporary collection for a trip to Rome to Nairobi. And in this simple and direct way that the fashion designer has defined his work for the 2011-2012 fall / winter collection, a line of jewelry and jewelry called "simply ethnic" is really an understatement. The collection was presented at the Salone del WHITE in Milan last February in "SELECTION BY CLASS" and it seemed much more promising: Leonarda Design of this is in fact a beautiful blend of contemporary design and inspiration that comes from the land of Africa .
We're not talking "just jewelry and jewelry, but that exposes the multifaceted artist at the Venice Biennale and condenses his inspiration in jewelry able to dress a woman. Unique ways as well as his creations, which in turn are all unique pieces built on African soil since the offer: first, the bone, shredded, pulverized, milled and turned to art in large pods, shells, which wind between pieces of metal to create wrought necklaces / dress then copper, aluminum, silver, hammered by hand.
This leads to inevitable imperfections and irregularities in the closing stretch, but who cares when they betray the uncompromising craftsmanship of each item-jewel!? But the best is yet to come. The real highlight of the collection are the beads or large beads taken from the crushing and pulverizing of the glass and bone, combined with acrobatic contortions of rope "raw" or magnified by joints of metal art.
It is not over. Falls vivid color and vibrant emotion, his Masai Scarfs: scarves small multicolored beads, alternating with semi semi-precious stones and small metal parts, which form billowing curtains. full of sunshine, able to lie down on the body as a dress. But how does Leonardo Designs, to do everything? Each piece is designed by the artist and produced with local labor, in particular by the Masai tribes on the outskirts of Nairobi, where Leonarda Langiano has a creative workshop that every day sees merge different skills: the manner of machinery and metal smiths, lost wax parts as a goldsmith, threading and knotting procedures coded in the second year.
