Light and soft clothes the art of Piero Tosi


Many showmen use images words or the body, to express.
But there is someone use all together, bodies, images, cultures.
And for cultures I don't mean the written one but the real one done of cloth.
Words deep and simples, rough and refined at the same time.
And if these words are whispered by and artist as Piero Tosi, the dress aren't more one arid collection of clothes, but film after film, play after play, the dress as the hairdo, show the thin mind of Piero Tosi.
Look into films done by Piero Tosi, and reading his biography, we understand as the world cinematography shines of Tosi's works.Bellissima by Luchino Visconti made on 1951, Storia di una Capinera made on 1994, between these two film a life of masterpieces.
Luchino Visconti is the director how has used more Piero Tosi as Costume Designer.
Is difficult to say if Visconti has influenced Tosi or the reverse it is happened.
It must see films made by Tosi and directed from other directors in order to understand as Tosi succeeds to donate to the director its art, being maintained his coherence over all films
