September 2018
A young woman walks into my atelier: at the time "LiOr Designs" was situated in the historic centre of Modena, around the corner from Piazza Roma, in Via Fonteraso.
Cammina verso di me osservando distrattamente i capi esposti ed io percepisco che sarà un incontro importante per me. Mi dice che è alla ricerca dell’abito che indosserà all’evento che “Modena Città del Belcanto” dedicherà al famoso tenore, organizzata dal Teatro Comunale “Luciano Pavarotti’ di Modena.
Con nonchalance continua dicendomi che lei è la soprano, allieva di Raina Kabaivanska a Modena, protagonista del concerto lirico vocale di questa serata intitolata “Modena per Luciano”, con la debuttante orchestra-giovanile-della-via-emilia. E ha un’idea precisa di come vuole il suo abito di scena. Lo possiamo creare?
Over the moon, I say yes, of course! And we sit down to outline the style and model that Marily Santoro will wear.
Only, I struggle to interpret her request. (I think my own personal suffering was getting the better of me).
And this is where Irene Angelucci comes in. My daughter was spending some time in Modena after graduating in Drama from the University of West London, and she was actively collaborating with her inventive resourcefulness in my workshop. B "H, a suitable environment for a young graduate from the Liceo Artistico Brera in Milan.
Discreetly noticing the situation, Irene pitches to Marily and they quickly find an understanding: Angel , this is Irene's label that I applied onto the dress, designed it in the most extraordinary details - please note in the photos the cascade of light on the front and the drop of silver on the train - selecting the fabric and the rebrodê lace for the decorations and the shoulder cape.
This is how this garment was born. What a joy to be in the audience that night, and being singled out as its co-creator!
