                          Fashion designer Antonio Patriarca for Milan's annual 
            La Settimana della Moda in February  designed an entire
            collection of Spring formal and semi-formal wear using
            fabric (linen,silk,cotton) that I hand painted.He got the idea
            after an exhibit of my work in his showroom a few weeks
            before.I'd left a couple of unstretched canvases there
            and he asked me if he could cut one into a jacket.
            Even though stitching together acrylic on gessoed canvas
            had his sewing machines smoking, Antonio was not daunted!
            I used a Pollock- like approach to painting the huge swathes
            of fabric, which most of the time I felt I'd totally ruined.
            Then Antonio and his brilliant seamstresses worked their 
            magic and truly amazed me with the results.
            I even got interviewed by Il Corriere della Sera
            and a full page photo of a model wearing 
            the silk kimono was published in Vera magazine.
            Working with a designer was  so much fun,a dream come true.
