One of the characteristic stylistic elements of LAVS' work is their employment of colour and texture in their designs. This is often accomplished through the use of stonework, as well as through the use of metallic lace braids combined with coloured silks beneath and while baroque work may not be their predominant focus, they bring this same characteristic style of theirs to this particular chasuble (which they simply call "pianeta 6").
The design has a somewhat Marian feel to it, mainly due to its combination of cream white, gold and blue within the design -- but of course this is a purely arbitrary association and by no means would a work like this be necessarily or strictly 'Marian.' The blue element is found within the orphrey, which has been covered with a metallic gold lace braid, giving it that distinctive and characteristic textural aspect. This textural aspect is further found in the use of gothic-like geometric designs within the orphrey, as well as beautiful floral medallions. It even expands to the cream silk damask itself which has a 'rustic' (but not unrefined) quality to it.
The end result is a 'Roman' chasuble, but one which takes on a slightly different tone and approach in its design and construction, thus making it distinctive to LAVS and their characteristic style.
