CIAO MISTER LINO,

Vittorio Solbiati s’est éteint.
Toute la famille du lin est en deuil…

Nous perdons un immense Monsieur, une magnifique personnalité, un œil, une connaissance et un amour hors norme pour le lin.

J’ai eu l’honneur de rencontrer plusieurs fois Monsieur Solbiati dans son usine près de Milan, au milieu des échantillons de tissus dont il connaissait chaque référence, chaque technique. Rencontrer Monsieur Solbiati c’était s’exposer à son œil averti : « je connais le créateur de votre robe, il expose pendant les défilés de mode, à Paris sur le salon Atmosphère, je reconnais également le tissu, c’est le notre… » et il partait à la recherche de la référence qu’il finissait par trouver : un magnifique lin/ laine gris…. »…. Tout simplement bluffant…

Je garde également en mémoire un humour et une malice.

La famille de la mode perd également un complice, tant il avait su accompagner les créateurs de mode de tous horizons, animé de cette passion commune et repoussant pour eux les limites de la créativité textile, devançant les désirs des stylistes. Je pense à Isabel Marant qui savait se rappeler à son bon souvenir pour être livrée plus vite…

Nos pensées accompagnent sa famille et toute l’entreprise Michele SOLBIATI.

Ciao Mister Lino…
