For the Spring / Summer 2022 season, Elena Ciuprina collaborated with Massimo Alba and created artworks for a set of six handkerchiefs. The collection holds the name of “References". The title alludes to the subjects depicted within each one of the illustrations. These all show parts of the Milanese home of the Creative Director, characterized by the presence of design objects, souvenirs from travel around the world and flowers of all kinds.
“Working with Massimo felt light, natural, full of trust. With just a few hints for color palette of the collection, he gave me complete freedom as an artist to reinterpret his living space, things that he is personally attached to. I loved it.” - Elena Ciuprina
