CAPUCCI - COMING DOWN TO EARTH


CAPUCCI

White coming down to earth... white cotton matelasse embellished with jewelled buttons like bright covered paving stones that echo the fabrics weave. Slightly shaped and softly skimming into a minimal a-line. In Hurel cotton.

Melvin Sokolsky experienced a recurring dream in which he floated  within a bubble across exotic landscapes. This was the origin of his "bubble series" presenting the Paris spring collections of 1963.
