Wasn\u2019t it obvious?<\/span><\/p><br><br><h2>The White Shirt According to&#8230; Me<\/h2><blockquote><p>\u201cIn the contemporary lexicon of elegance I like to think that the white shirt is a universal term that each woman may \u2018pronounce\u2019 as she prefers&#8230;\u201d Gianfranco Ferr\u00e9<\/p><\/blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The Museo del Tessuto<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> is in and of itself a magical and fascinating place, but now, with this exhibition, it really has something special.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The beginning of the exhibition shows videos of runway shows and photographic panels immersed in darkness.  Perfection. Everything emphasizes the whiteness of the pieces and their complex construction.  It serves as preparation for the next room which is the true heart of the exhibition.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The second room of the show<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">, in fact, houses the 27 white shirts chosen as a testimony to 20 years of creative and design genius. This room, in contrast to the first, seemed filled with light where each shirt is lit as if it were a sculpture (they almost look like marble!) and the white of the fabric exponentially increases this sensation.  In reality, everything around you is in semi-darkness but when you enter and you find yourself in front of this \u201carmy\u201d of white shirts, it is truly dazzling.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The sketches and photographs (also displayed in this room) which tell us the story of the creation of these masterpieces are just as beautiful as the shirts. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">They are true works of art<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Once again I found myself stunned by how a true artist with a single material, in a single color, with only a few skilled gestures is capable of creating so much.  Each time he tells a different story.  A new narrative.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">In my opinion, it is a show that is not to be missed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">P.S.
