While studying at Lisio Foundation in Florence Italy some years ago I met a fantastic weaver, Franz Ippoldt. Between 2005 and 2008 Franz was technical director of Fondazione Lisio near Florence and now has his own studio near Lyon France. As you know Mel and I have an obsession with Christian Lacroix. Mr Lacroix is the master of colour, texture and pattern. Many of his designs derive their inspiration from the theater and the Spanish Matador. Franz worked on a collaboration with Lacroix in this garment and produced the corsage for the robe in Franz's own words. Now that is a colour combination! Maybe franz should weave something for the exhibition.
