| Foulards, hankies, robes, neckties and kimonos gain added value when painted by artist Mara Guerrini |
Take a painter, her reliable brushes, the colors and the water she adds. Then take a piece of fabric instead of the usual sheet of paper. And there you have splendid silks born of the artist's hands. The signature is that of Mara Guerrini, an acknowledged painter from Bologna, famed for her water colors executed without using the pencil, works of art of exceptional intensity and artistic sensibility.
The same qualities that she transfers on the warp and weft of the fabrics she paints. All subjects are first studied by the artist through water-colors on paper, then reproduced on the fabric and fixed through a special steam-based technique that makes the colors indelible, so that every creation can be worn and washed with carelessness every time, without fearing that some nuance could fade away.
The premium silks of Mara Guerrini are selected among the finest Italian silks, produced by the masters of Como: satin, crepe de Chine, crepe Georgette, silk twill, silk lined with organdy to achieve a sheer effect or with wool for a heavier and warmer result. Through this original and impressive technique Mara Guerrini creates foulards, scarves, dresses, jackets, shirts, kimonos, robes, neckties, bow-ties and accessories for both men and women.
A hand painted silk scarf in the jacket's pocket will be all that you need to make your look more original and stylish. Also interesting are the neckties with traced flower stems or compositions with leaves that give your appearance an imaginative and personalized touch. The range includes wonderful robes and kimono shirts, charming foulards to be worn around the shoulders or the waist as if they were pareos. "Just like pearls, fabrics need to live on skin, flesh, a woman's body, to reveal their beauty, richness and lightness?". This verse of Gabriele D'Annunzio seems to perfectly fit the silks of Mara Guerrini, which are exactly as the poet says: works of art to admire but, above all, to wear.
