This Italian designer had a message for women in her Hum Showcase collection
What happens when an Italian designer shows at a local fashion week?
The QMobile Hum Showcase 2017 saw designs from some of Pakistan’s top designers, but one designer who stood out was Italian designer Cristina Senter who, in collaboration with Al-Zoheb Textile, created designs based on works of art, literally.
Working in collaboration with Italian artist Maurizio Boscheri, Cristina translated his paintings of nature onto textile and labeled her collection 'Metamorphosis' – a bridge between Italian fashion and the Mediterranean.
“The haute couture pieces are based exactly on the paintings of Maurizio, the other half (prêt-à-porter) are a reinterpretation by Cristina of some motifs taken and extrapolated from Maurizio’s paintings,” explained Gianluca Rubagotti, Italian Consulate General, Pakistan.
