Italy
Designed by Valeria Bosco and produced by Erica Confezione, a celebrated Italian supplier of exclusive printed fabrics to well-known luxury labels. Bosco, former assistant to Gianfrance Ferre during his tenure at Christian Dior, also designed for Basile, Versace, and Etro. Additionally helmed her own labels, Lasabui and The Kitchen, where she produced scarves individually printed by hand or dyed with the ancient Chinese system of Shibori, dyeing fabric by binding, stitching, folding, twisting and compressing using blocks of wood. Almost Plain marries Bosco's creativity with Erica Confezione's industrial knowledge and production capabilities. "The designs do not look so much designed, they look more plain but a little brushed; but not so much brushed and not so much plain; in few words, Bosco's designs look Almost Plain."
