Dear Diane , dear shaded viewers,
yesterday I went to see the presentation of the first bag and accessories collection by Simone Rainer. I was introduced to the project few weeks ago, and only now I can understand the symbolism inherent in the collection. The project is the result of a maniacal research: the golden rectangle is the concept and is applied as a golden section to all the items in the collection. THe volumes and the proportions also are based on the golden rectangle. Through the use of the materials the three phases of the alchemic process play witness to the pureness of the gold.

The triangle bag in napa leather, when you touch it the heat of your body changes the color into gold, my hands were quite warm.

The lining print represents the Penrose plugs.
The project plans the collaborations of the artist Paolo Gonzato, the video maker Anna Franceschini with the art video "L'Opera al Nero" , and Rohn Meijer for the still life.
