"I have never seen such amazing art and design, as I have since owning my pieces from Gabriele. Unique and absolutely exquisite, it's hard to believe this very talented lady starts with a plain, white piece of fabric, and transforms it into such amazing design. The colors, the textures, and most importantly, the art itself, showcases the talent and beauty that is Gabriele. I always get compliments on my velvet and silk scarves, and everyone wants to know who has painted such beauty. Gabriele effortlessly mixes art with fashion, unlike no other. Gabriele, you're the best!"

"Gabriele's fabrics are a work of art. My scarf is so incredibly beautiful. There is so much depth and life in the colors, that I sometimes just stare at it and get lost. I wear my scarf many ways, as a scarf of course, as a belt, and in my hair. I always feel so beautiful when I am wearing it. My scarf is the most beautiful item of clothing I own."

"Gabriele's dynamic fabrics are color and texture in motion! Using them in
our performance extended the dancers' movements into space, in an exquisite
display of color. Thank you, Gabriele!"

"Gabriele's exquisite silk backdrops graced the stage of our 19th century
romantic ballet. The option of lighting the dancers behind the silk in
silhouette, or in front, added depth and drama to the ballet.
The scene transitions, choreographed by the dancers pulling the gathered
fabric away, revealed yet another fantasy scene that enchanted the audience,
young and old!"

Patricia

"I saw a scarf I liked in a museum shop. I called and they said they were no
longer available, so it became a quest. Yours were TOTALLY superior to
anything out there, so... I'm waiting anxiously! (I will let you know when
it arrives.)
The scarf came today and it IS lovely... yummy as you said! It's everything
I'd hoped for... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Bobbe

"I received the package today. They are so lovely! The colors and designs are
great. What a treasure. Your talent is amazing and I wish you all the best
with your new line. I will try to get a photo of her wearing them. They are
breathtaking! Thank you!"
Ira Streitfeld

"I am speechless!
Okay... Slowly at least the written word returns to me.
The package arrived and I was like a kid at Christmas. I opened it and found
that tulle bow, and ribbon!!!! The two colors are perfectly gorgeous and
match my gown!! I will work the tulle into my bridal bouquet and it will be
my "something blue" and it makes you even more part of the ceremony!!
And finally I got to the fabric. NO WAY that piece of swatch could have
prepared me for the beauty of this. Your work is stunning!!
It has sent me back to the design table as I am still in the final stages of
underlayers and not yet finished with the bodice of the dress, and so am
going to see if I can add this fabric to more than just the bodice, or can
do something that makes it even more its own piece within my outfit. It is
just that beautiful!!
You allowed an ethereal dream of my heart become a piece of lush, molten
velvet in my hands. THANK you."
Doe West
"Wow, where do I start? First of all, I absolutely LOVE my fabric. My heart
was pounding as I opened the box, wondering how it would look, and I am just
in awe! The velvet is so soft and luscious, and the roses that were burned
in were more than I could have hoped for. I cant believe that is my design
on a piece of fabric and its going to be my wedding gown!?! Its like a
dream come true. I had to look again and again to make sure I wasn't
dreaming!
The amount of time and energy you put into this goes way beyond the call
of duty. It was so nice to be able to work with you personally and make a
friend out of this whole process. I can feel (and see) just how much love
and attention to detail you put into this, and I am so grateful for all your
hard work.
I will be sure to send you tons of pictures of the dress (a continuation
of the story you started) as well as all of the other things this fabric has
inspired! I feel so blessed to have you as a major part of this process
you have been so good to me, I cant thank you enough. I want you to know
that this dress would never have meant so much to me without you, and it is
going to make my wedding day so special. I feel beautiful just looking at
it, and know that wearing it will be an honor. Thank you for your artistry,
your friendship, and your love that is clearly reflected in your work.
Thank you... Thank you.... Thank you.... THANK YOU!"

My friend loved the scarf! Butterflies have a special meaning to her, so she
was somewhat choked up."
