Florence Giotto Prize, June 14, 2025, artistic merit

Author’s Braid 2025. The tie becomes a wearable work of art, a mix of fashion, history, and theatricality. Giorgio Armani and YSL’s use of vintage silk gives it a timeless elegance, while inspiration from Elsa Schiapparelli’s surrealist hair tie adds a touch of boldness and creativity. Giotto International Visual Arts Award at the Palazzo Borghese in Florence, June 14, 2025, publication in catalog.
