“To continue in one path is to go backward”
– Igor Stravinsky
This garment is named after the legendary, Russian-born, composer, pianist and conductor Igor Stravinsky (1882 – 1971). He became internationally know through the music he composed for the Ballet Russes one of the pieces he composed is The Rite of Spring. During a short period of time Stravinsky and his family have been staying at Coco Chanel’s home in Paris where he wrote two of his pieces. His avant-gardistic way of working is a great inspiration to us.
