Guide
In the eyes of legendary fashion journalist Suzy Menkes, Homo Faber 2018, last September’s exhibition in Venice, was “an inspiring and highly sophisticated showcase” to work made by hand. Her account, originally published in British Vogue, is now collected in her book, Suzy Menkes: Five Years in Vogue. Her words convey the joy of seeing artisans demonstrate their craft as well as the “breathtaking body of work” on display, from a hand-stitched leather saddle to handmade violins, from clothing to a racing car and much more.
