arte 1 MODIGLIANI STRIPED TUNIC (cover) in MiniTempo arte THE CREATION OF BEAUTIFUL OR SIGNIFICANT THINGS T he premier Italian yarn line Filatura Di Crosa has provided the American hand knitting market with yarns and fashions with a European flair since 1985. Curated for the US market by Stacy Charles, Filatura Di Crosa delivers highquality yarns, ranging from classic Merino wools, such as the much-loved Zara, to luxury-fibers, including cashmere-silk blend Superior, and fashion yarns for the adventurous knitter. All are good reasons as to why Filatura Di Crosa has become synonymous with fashion-conscious handknits. The Filatura Di Crosa woman is worldly and sophisticated, and has a passion for fashion and the arts. The Filatura Di Crosa ARTE Collection draws its inspiration from the work of Italian fashion designers, color palettes, textures and artists, as well as embracing American designers, literature, the cinema and global cultural influences. Shot in a gallery-like setting, the collection reflects the artful sensibility of the yarns themselves: textural, richly colored and complex. You’ll notice hints of Missoni, The Row and Celine in this urbane collection of 13 pieces, which includes travel-ready tanks and tops, a sculptural all-season cabled pullover, a stylish tunic and cool-evening cardigans and shawls. 2 BELLINI SHELL in Tempo 3 BOTTICELLI TOP (opposite) in Tempo 4 TITIAN SHAWL/SCARF in Nirvana and Superior 5 MICHELANGELO PULLOVER in MiniTempo 6 CANALETTO PULLOVER in Zara 7 CARAVAGGIO CARDIGAN in Chantal 9 DA VINCI SHAWL in Brilla 10 GIOTTO TOP (left) in Solare 11 DEL SARTO HI-LO TANK (above and opposite) in Solare 12 RAPHAEL CARDIGAN in Solare 13 TINTORETTO VEST in Chantal THE YARNS TEMPO MINITEMPO SOLARE EDITORIAL DIRECTOR STACY CHARLES CREATIVE DIRECTOR KARIN STROM FASHION EDITOR CONLEY AVERETT PHOTOGRAPHER JACK DEUTSCH GRAPHIC DESIGNER LARISSA DAVIS STYLIST JESSICA SAAL MODEL MARIKE WESSELS (NEXT) HAIR/MAKEUP OLIVIA BARAD TECHNICAL EDITOR THERESE CHYNOWETH PRODUCTION CLAIRE SANDOW Free newsletter.
