Re: + (Maurizio Amadei)
[quote user="Faust"]That's cool, buratino - I am not knocking your style. I guess I've never stated the reason MA does not impress me, so here it is. I am not crazy about the simplicity of his designs. Not that simplicity is bad, but this D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) feel of his clothes leaves much to be desired - it is a far cry from Altieri's mastery. I think that today we pay much more for labor than for materials - and I don't see his clothes as labor intensive (with few exceptions). Honestly, I'd rather give my money to Albert to make one of those wallets or chains, or make some of the things myself (if I was inclined to do so, which I am not). From an aesthetic point of view, I also don't like his clothes - they are just not nearly as elegant as Carpe Diem was. That's the thing I love about CDiem most - no matter how distressed or how arte povera they may look, there is an inherent elegance in them. I just don't see this with MA. Cheers. [51]

perhaps one day you will find your breakthrough MA+ piece and your reservations will become seats at the fine table of riches that is MA+.
