For most people, crochet is usually associated with openwork napkins, tablecloths and shawls. Italian Aldo Lanzini clearly does not belong to this majority: his outfits and masks of incredible shapes and colors cause delight in some, and bewilderment in others.
"It is much easier to carry a crochet hook in your pocket than a hammer," Aldo Lanzini often repeats. The author combines in his works a variety of colors and patterns and says that when he once again takes up work, he often does not know what will turn out in the end.
In an interview for Vogue Italia, Lanzini characterizes his knitwear as "a state of modern man, something like conscious schizophrenia."
To some, the works of Aldo Lanzini may seem strange and even somewhere crazy (which is not surprising after the statement about schizophrenia), but there are also many connoisseurs of such creativity. For example, at the recent show of the Italian fashion house Missoni spring / summer 2011 visitors were greeted by people dressed in masks from Lanzini.
For 15 years now, Aldo Lanzini has lived between Milan and New York. The author has several personal exhibitions in various museums and art galleries. Currently, his work can be seen at Le Case D'Arte in Milan.
