For the creation of this stole I was inspired by the 50s, at the end of the first post-war period. A period that inspired fashion, which influenced families and their lifestyle. The desire for revenge leads the richest families to organize dancing parties in their large living room. Women feel beautiful and seductive again and the watchword is “Femininity”.
And this is how I imagine the Woman wearing the “Adele” stole. She is refined, feminine, elegant, in a dress that emphasizes her silhouette, ready to experience her evening of dancing, in a society that imposes class and the distinction of good taste. Exactly related to the meaning of the name Adele, a purely feminine name: noble, of noble appearance, nobility of mind and spirit.
