Riva 1920 Venetian Mermaids
VENETIAN MERMAIDS
VENETIAN MERMAIDS
Designed by Elio Fiorucci
Everything in venice arises from the water! The palazzi, the churches, the bridges and the briccol.
These sentinels, these signs of approaching land and of mooring, mark the waterways with their varied multi-coloured shafts. These briccole give us colour, movement and rebirth.
They become the legs of swimming girls, breaking the surface of the lagoon. This sense of rising out of the water mirrors the flow of culture from one of the world is most beautiful cities and represents the light of venice.
