VENICE
Fabrics dyed with natural pigments and
printed by hand following ancient Venetian
traditions, exclusive furnishings and fashion accessories of great artistic and artisan
quality offered by the costume designer
and stylist Antonia Sautter in Boutique Venetia a few steps from Piazza San Marco.
Antonia Sautter’s style takes on life from a
combination of precious fabrics and great
creativity, from the elaboration of velvets
and silks that she dyes and prints by hand,
in a myriad of nuances in order to create
a product that doesn’t bow to the fashion
trend of the moment, but in its history and
modernity, tradition and discovery blend in
perfect harmony.
Atelier
Antonia Sautter, in whose veins runs German blood from her
father's side and Venetian blood from her mother's side, derived
her complex soul from her travelling ancestors. Noblewoman and
merchant, she loves to create and invent new feats which have
made her, over the last twenty years or so, one of the leading
entrepreneurs in her home city.
She started to take her first steps in the world of fashion when
she was very young. At just 23 she was the Sole Director of the
Italian office of "Venezia Mode", one of the leading companies in
the distribution of Made in Italy fashion in the USA and she spent
much time in New York as coordinator between Italy and the US.
She came back to Italy and specialised in prestigious Fashion
Houses until she felt ready to open her Atelier in Venice and start
her own line Fashion Venetia.
The Atelier Antonia Sautter is situated in the historical heart of
Venice.
Visiting this space is an obligatory stop for those who don’t want
to live Venice just as a tourist but also as a collector of emotions.
There are over 1200 costumes, all unique pieces that stand
out in the Antonia Sautter’s style, where the Venetian tradition
meets history and fashion. It is from this workshop that the dazzling costumes for Il Ballo del Doge and prestigious films and theatrical productions are born.
During your visit you can admire the marvellous costumes from
the Antonia Sautter Collection and enter the magically mysterious world of Carnival in Venice.
Some historical highlights will be presented to you through Venetian figures famous the world over: from the Doge to Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Venice, from Casanova the great
seducer to his courtesans, and of course the characters
from the Comedy of Art that cannot be forgotten!
An original and amusing way to relive history of the Serenissima Republic.
