OTEA'S FAVORITES
Collection II:
LA MAESTRA
Velia enters softly. Through the reflection of costume jewelry glinting in the afternoon light. Through the scent of perfume caught in linen and wool. Through the sound of ‘O Sole Mio' drifting from the kitchen before supper is served.
This collection begins inside her world. We are already seated in the living room. The scratchy botanical sofa beneath our legs. Costume jewelry clinking against a glass ashtray. A striped apron tied carefully at the waist. Everything sensible. Everything beautiful.
Collection I:
THE RENDEZVOUS
Aperitivi and fritto misto are spread before us. Citrus zest. Salt crystal. Sea fruit.
This is the fat, full promise of the buona sera. The hour of miele.
