By Marie — two large scarves for 20th Anniversary Collection
By Marie — two large scarves for 20th Anniversary Collection
 
 

I met Marie a few years ago when she called me to sell in her shops the silk kimonos she had seen worn by a friend of hers.

She contacted me because she had in mind a celebratory scarf for the 20th anniversary of By Marie, her lifestyle brand. We ended with these two designs: optical and flowers.

I really love the colors she chose, it gives the silk scarves a cozy feel.

The printing factory I recommended for these scarves is the one I normally work with for my scarves. They were perfect as usual!

The new collection of silk scarves speaks about datavisualization, which is the graphical representation of statistical data.

 

My Facebook friends

Since joining Facebook in September 2009, I've been building links that I've tried to analyze here.

Men in squares and women in triangles, whose size is proportional to the number of years since our connection, the "entities" in hexagons and color zones (cities, schools, workplaces, etc.). The Italians in green / purple, the French in blue / red (the other nationalities are grouped by continent), the family ties in dashes, the outlines according to the city where I met these people, a cross if I do not do not know in real life, everything is there!

The inner border of the scarf brings together my favorite friends and the outer border speaks of the chronology of the additions of friends, according to their gender, their nationality and the number of friends in common at that time.

 

The houses I lived in

Thanks to the profession of my father, then to my Italian wanderings, I have moved many times since my birth, twenty in all. Here you will find the detail.

The height of the columns indicates the time I spent in one of the 20 houses I lived in. The different blocks that make up the columns represent the number of people living under the same roof. A triangle is a dog, two triangles, a cat, a small line, nothing. The small yellow or white columns speak of the average temperature and those which are a little thicker, orange, of the average rainfall of the city in question whereas the colored zone indicates the region.

The bubbles of the scarf border are proportional to the distance between one house and the other.

Interesting fact: I discovered that humidity is higher in Florence than in Normandy ...

 

Incomes & expenses

Delicate subject, but everything started from there.

My bank proposes to classify, then to visualize my expenses and incomes in the form of colored charts or pie charts. That's what you see on the edge of the scarf.

Professional / Personal, expenses / income, transportation, outings, sales of scarves, registrations to designer markets, housing, freelance work, travel, you have everything in front of you, I'll let you guess what color each category is represented and where is Uber ...

This one is to my exact print, we worked together with Martina, in charge of Woman's prints, on the same theme.

Left, the kimono and me.
Right, my friend Gianpaolo and his shirt.
One evening, by chance, in Santo Spirito.
A lot of fun when we met, the same night, another man with the SAME shirt.

Last collection with Just Cavalli ;( It has been really fun, but I had to fly towards news adventures!

Wonders of the past for the MAIN collection: Sicilian mosaics, hard stones of the Florentine Renaissance and opulent baroque.

In addition to my "Squalo" print (by the way, the first print for a Just Cavalli show I made), I took care of the placements of several other prints.

This the video of the show.
