MILAN, Feb 17, 2008 / FW/ — Cashmere mink trimmed and thinned until it reaches the impalpable softness of the noblest of yarns, Thes Tziveli designing under the label Thes&Thes, gave fur lightness and freedom, making this luxe fabric hip and young.
Inspired by the fictional character Lara Antipov, heroine of Boris Pasternak’s ‘Doctor Zhivago’, Tziveli created ‘Lara capes’ with the midnight blue fur fanning out light as air and the hoods line with black-dyed silver fox.
The movement for lightness reaches its climax in mink lace – furs inlaid like lace, breezily float in the honey-coloured capes with the same colour hood in perforated and trimmed fox.
Tziveli actually outdid himself with mink velvet, mink feathers and bobsleigh mink. Creating overcoats in etched hides, mink velvet mimicked corduroy velvet. Mink fur becomes feather, lining the edges of coats and capes. Shaved and processed mink in stripes reminding of bobsleigh tracks on the snow creating new parallel marks on 1970’s style longhaired coats.
