Aqua De was born out of a vision that has been brought to life thanks to fashion.
Each of us is a part of the whole: we are all water, lines, images, horizons.
The idea is to capture the essence and the beauty with details and images. Images that escape from our ordinary and inattentive glance to transform themselves into texture to wear.
The idea is to catch the hues and nuances of emotions, the idea to broaden the gaze.
Images become fabrics and fabrics become tailoring experiments. This is an artistic project and also a brand, born to create connections between the creativity of the international photographers, the visionary universe of the contemporary artists and the sartorial technique Made in Italy.
