| To meet Lavinia Turra is like plunging into the cramped spaces of post-war dressmakers' workshops, or feeling again and again the fabric of our mother's dress, to discover the value of the yarn, the precious embroideries, the playfulness of a button. |

Meeting Lavinia Turra is to let ourselves be carried away on a journey into real femininity with its medleys, intrusions, contrasts and clashes. It means speaking about femininity through metaphors, about a woman who can see herself as different, strong and profound; about a woman who accepts the sound, hidden and inmost sides of her personality.
To meet Lavinia Turra is to grasp the real value of fabrics, wool materials and embroideries
which, since she began her activity, have been produced for her by firms like Zibetti & Orsini, Tessitura Verga, Luigi Boggio Casero.
To meet Lavinia Turra means to share the depth of an idea realised by hand and through design, embroidery, and cut ...thanks to a conception of woman halfway between the past of couture, the present of research and the future... |

To see Lavinia Turra's models for Nous Sommes Hysteriques is to rely on the sensations of our hands as they stroke, touch, rub, feel, shape, model; it is to love an item of clothing and to enjoy it again after some time with the confidence that it will embody a certain idea of woman. A way to discover one side of our identity, of our self.
