Winter in Venice

"Aqua Alta"

Venice is so beautiful in winter. When the rains fill the rivers flowing into the lagoon and the tide of the Adriatic sea rises, Venice goes underwater.But there are few people and warm little cafes. But be prepared! it's very wet.

Handmade clothes by Michael Kehrlein

"Autumn"

This coat was handsewn using recycled material. The outside is in various velvets and heavy cotons. the inside is mostly silks. The inspiration for this piece was the "Noragi" . Noragi were coats made by peasants in Japan during the Edo period. Because of the extreme poverty the only available material were scrapes of coton. Based on the kimono pattern even the upper classes used this techinique and recuperated material from thier used kimonos to create new ones.
