Georgia Turri...spring Collection

“My thoughtful exploration of beauty and of charming simplicity defines into the essential elegance of accurate lines and ultra clean volumes, seeking for harmony between dream and reality”
Georgia Turri

Spring Summer 2008 Georgia Turri collection no. 02 is stretched between the images of Franco Fontana. Clean textures and pure lines stir among a range limpid colours: turtledove and tan neutralized by nuances of inner grey, fluctuate between classic ends, black and red. Shape profile and clear cuts emerge from the non-colour, bending docilely while design valorises itself by the absence of base noises. Visual elements that confer Georgia Turri style immediate distinctiveness are specifically the perfectly plissé silk and chiffon laces, generating a sense of fluidity and lightness that sensually wrap the feminine figure. Supreme lightness, complex details and exceptional technical construction are evident in this presentation of artistic talent and absolute innovation, thus combine to offer a compassionate touch of femininity that is uniquely Georgia Turri.

GEORGIA TURRI
Since that timely meeting over New York City roofs between a pragmatic Italian and a sweet Gaúcha comes out Georgia Turri, an aristocratic production of premium class female shoes. Debut takes place on February 2007 throughout the Fashion Incubator project endorsed by Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, the doorway of the brand to the highest part of luxury. Deep inspiration and international vision create richness undressed from any useless opulence. Exclusively handmade in Italy, in the excellent district of Parabiago, Georgia’s true style differs from others clearly.

Directors are Georgia Roehe as designer and Alberto Turri as manager, mingled together as lifetime couple in love as well as in job. By living in the quietness of Laglio, on Lake Como shore, both found the perfect ambience where to elaborate years of experience, knowledge and travels to set into a collection of shoes made of careful beauty and a subtle femininity.

By leaving her native Brazil, where family tannery business passed her the love for leather, Georgia moved to Italy in 2000 to focus in specific studies of shoe design achieved at Ars-Sutoria, Istituto Europeo di Design and Marangoni School, together with significant working experiences in leading companies.

Care, quality, passion and culture: these four posts support the aesthetics of Georgia Turri collections by shaping docile objects that fit with the utmost comfort thanks to the use of noble materials and outstanding construction, but that’s not all. The shoe - produced in limited and numbered series of top models, but also in open series made by order - is an experience of art to show discreetly and to keep carefully, as the packaging is made to last, protecting a lovers’ dream came true: to create day-by-day symbols of fashion made for sensuality.
