Roberto
My name is Roberto Magnani, I live in Italy in a small town near Rimini on the Adriatic coast
I am an artisan and a teacher of Eco print and natural dyes.
I started ecoprinting almost 7 years ago and in 2018 I founded my ecofashion brand FILO E FOGLIA.
In the same year, I met Irit for the first time in her master class of 3d Discharge Printing, in Tuscany.
She changed my life giving me a new way to do and to think eco printing, changing from a flat print to a more artistic one.
I met Irit again in July 2021 in her master class in Italy on Garda lake where I was her assistant with Evelina Marconi.
In 2021 I opened my shop “CONTROSENSO ATELIER” in Cesena where I sell my garments with other artisan products.
It was hard to choose but I’m happy to share these three prints that I really love…
I made some pillow cases with these fabrics.
