Marketa Martiskova II

This sculptural, rose petal layering of colour and fabric on Marketa Martiskova's dress is stunning and reminded me of Roberto Cappuci's dress forms.

Roberto Capucci

Currently exhibited at La Venaria Reale there is a display of fifty dresses created in the 1950's by Roberto Capucci,.
Now in his eighties this Italian designers work is just as contemporary and amazing in its sculptural form, its palette, elegance ad theatricality. Seeing the work of Marketa Martiskova there was a resonance between this new graduates collection and this grand master of 20th Century fashion.
