Italian term or phrase: si torce in scherno
Descrizione di una collezione moda: "il viola arriva ad illuminare il grigio, le gonne e le giacche di crepe de chine presentano stampe dai nomi di illustri artisti della corrente dadaista. La figura equestre *si torce in scherno* al principio stesso di questo movimento. L’idea non è mai più forte dell’abito."
