Catherine Pierlovisi begins her research by creating mood boards, carefully curating multiple panels where she assembles striking images and ideas. These visual compositions serve as the foundation for her work, guiding the development of color palettes, some of which become the defining thread of the collection’s narrative.

“I got the idea of this design from handmade embroidery, with rope threads and matte ribbons that matched exactly what I was looking for in this theme.”
In a playful and free-spirited aesthetic, the vivid, joyful colors bring the design to life, creating a piece brimming with energy and vitality.
For Catherine Pierlovisi, designing a collection is a deeply collaborative process, involving skilled embroiderers, weavers, and textile printers.
Her creations emerge from meaningful exchanges and shared artistic sensibilities between designer and artisans. Their expertise, curiosity, and creativity refine each material and technique to perfectly suit the design. This delicate, enriching dialogue transforms a vision into a fabric with soul, one that tells a story.
