Revue de presse “The book is an unbelievable paean to this fashion accessory that was raised to the level of an art form via Mr. Cavallini’s talents and manufacturing abilities and facilities… “The photography is beyond beautiful and really offers us a visual library of this man’s creative abilities.” ~New York Journal of Books “Encased in a silver cover wrapped in an example of his signature open-work hosiery, ‘Emilio Cavallini’ offers a fascinating look into the creative mind of the Italian designer who redefined women’s hosiery—and made it a desirable and collectable artistic medium.” ~Hamptons.com“It’s wearable art. And then it’s actual art as well: Cavalini uses his stockings as though strings to weave complex spiralgrams and geometrics you can hang on your wall. And then there’s the art of the book itself, with its lavish photos and silver foil cover sheathed in sexy black cut-out tights. It’s all an over-the-top treat…” ~Style Maniac Quatrième de couverture A whimsical, fun art book with a silver cover and die-cut pattern black tights as a jacket, sure to appeal to anyone interested in fashion and in innovative, contemporary art.
