'DICOTOMIA' is based on the concept of "Black and White Thinking". With Dicotomia, Antonella wants to give personality to the garments - based on the attitude of reducing real life chaos, and restoring the order through pre-established schemes, which excludes the personal potential choices. The dichotomous lives in a black and white world, made up of marked boundaries and strict constraints. It does not include nuances, and it obsessively seeks a world made of perfection.
