A un amico che le chiedeva consiglio su che cosa regalare alla donna che amava, Mademoiselle Chanel rispose senza esitazione: “Conosco le donne, le donne adorano le catene, regalale una catena e ti adorerà”. Adorata da re e regine, simbolo delle manifatture delle antiche civiltà come delle controculture giovanili, ispirazione costante di artisti, stilisti e designer, la catena è tra i gioielli più amati nella storia del costume. Questo volume ripercorre con un saggio critico autorevole e un’ampia selezione di immagini, l’evoluzione simbolica ed estetica della catena dalla preistoria fino alla contemporaneità, le sue intersezioni tra arte, moda, design, artigianato e nuove tecnologie. Un percorso avvincente e sapientemente illustrato, che dimostra come da semplici elementi funzionali possano nascere gioielli straordinari, capaci di congiungere il passato al futuro nel segno della creatività, della bellezza e dell’innovazione.
