A double event under the sign of art and which joined the preview of fashion film “The spirit of our times”, featuring eclectic and iconic personas from the art, fashion and music scene ( as Pino Pipoli, Cori Amenta, Benedetta Barzini, Andy, Arturo Brachetti, Xena Zupanic) to the presentation of the collection, enriched by the performance of talented French actor Franky O’ Right. It was a smashing showcase. many suggestions embodying a cosmopolitan attitude and the tradition of made in Italy, reminding the style lesson of Klaus Nomi, emphasized by unusual volumes and lame clothes in the womenswear. The same geometric patterns are embodied in the menswear, where the sign of fashion designer becomes more incisive and minimal, as it is evidenced by the lines of constructions he made. Beautiful are the accessories, produced by Antonio Urzì for Tom Rebl, including also a marvelous eyewear collection.

DADAMATIX: ARTE, MODA & VISIONI DI TOM REBL

Scenari surreali che rendono omaggio al dadaismo sono i protagonisti di “DADAmatix“, la  collezione uomo e donna primavera/estate 2016 del fashion designer tedesco Tom Rebl, presentata in occasione della Paris Fashion Week. Un doppio evento all’ insegna di arte e moda ha unito l’ anteprima del fashion film “The spirit of our times”, di cui sono protagonisti eclettici e iconici personaggi degli ambienti dell’ arte, della moda e della musica (quali Pino Pipoli, Cori Amenta, Benedetta Barzini, Andy, Arturo Brachetti, Xena Zupanic) alla presentazione della collezione, che è stata arricchita dalla performance del talentuoso attore francese Franky O’ Right. Una formidabile rassegna, plurime suggestioni che racchiudono un’ attitudine metropolitana e la tradizione del made in Italy, ricordano la lezione di stile di Klaus Nomi, enfatizzata da insoliti volumi e tessuti laminati nella collezione donna. I medesimi motivi geometrici sono racchiusi nella collezione uomo, in cui il segno dello stilista diventa più incisivo e minimale, come si evince dalle linee delle sue costruzioni. Belli gli accessori, prodotti da Antonio Urzì per Tom Rebl, che comprendono anche una meravigliosa collezione di occhiali.

ART AND NATURE, THE URBAN SYNCRETISM BY ISSEY MIYAKE

Issey Miyake Men Spring/Summer 2016
Issey Miyake Men Spring/Summer 2016

It has presented during Paris Fashion Week the menswear Spring/Summer 2016 collection by the legendary fashion designer Issey Miyake, giving rise to a dialogue between two cities, Tokyo and Mexico City, featuring a smashing syncretism under the sign of art and nature. The shining urban jungle which is part of these cities and is depicted by the young Tokyo photographer, Yoshinori Mizutani. The man becomes an urban animal who lives the city as a second colored nature, interacting with the rest of the world. References concerning nature and its hosts are impressed in the series of pictures “Tokyo parrots”, portraits of wild parrots seen on the streets of Tokyo turning into prints and decorating dresses and cotton poplin and jersey shirts. It’ s a sporty chic elegance, emphasized by a series of garments that draw inspiration from the Mexico city colors and the architecture by Luis Barragan. It’ s an alchemy made of monochrome shades, canvas and linen-cotton cloths, that are put together to become double-face, long waistcoats, Bermuda shorts, jackets and light, embroidered coats evoking the Mexican craftsmanship. It completes this suggestive display on male elegance the casual-chic creations, embodying the works, abstract pictures of Tokyo, from the series “Colors” by Mizutani along with something new, the eyewear, arising from the teaming with the Japanese producer Kaneko Optical, that will be launched from 25th to 28th September 2015 at Slimo Paris.

ARTE E NATURA, IL SINCRETISMO URBANO DI ISSEY MIYAKE

Issey Miyake Men Spring/Summer 2016

È stata presentata in occasione della Paris Fashion Week la collezione uomo primavera/estate 2016 del leggendario fashion designer Issey Miyake, che dà vita a un dialogo tra due città, Tokyo e Città del Messico, di cui è protagonista un formidabile sincretismo all’ insegna di arte e natura. La lussureggiante giungla urbana che é parte di queste città è immortalata dal giovane fotografo giapponese Yoshinori Mizutani. L’ uomo diventa un animale urbano che vive la città come una seconda colorata natura, la quale interagisce con il resto del mondo. Riferimenti inerenti la natura ed i suoi ospiti sono impressi nella serie di fotografie “Tokyo parrots”, ritratti di pappagalli selvatici avvistati per le strade di Tokyo che si trasformano in stampe e decorano abiti e camicie di popeline di cotone e jersey. Un’ eleganza sporty chic enfatizzata da una serie di capi che si ispirano ai colori di Città del Messico e all’ architettura di Luis Barragan. Un’ alchimia di nuances monocromatiche, tessuti di canapa e lino-cotone, assemblati per diventare double-face, lunghi gilet, Bermuda, giacche e leggeri cappotti ricamati che evocano l’ artigianalità messicana. Completano questa suggestiva rassegna sull’ eleganza maschile le creazioni casual-chic che racchiudono le opere, immagini astratte di Tokyo tratte dalla serie “Colors” di Mizutani unitamente a qualcosa di nuovo, la collezione di occhiali, che nascono dalla collaborazione con il produttore giapponese Kaneko Optical, la quale sarà lanciata dal 25 al 28 Settembre 2015 presso Slimo Paris.

É stato protagonista dell’ ultima edizione dell’ evento fieristico di moda White, che si è tenuto a Milano presso Superstudio, “Shades of a gentleman”, il progetto espositivo da me ideato e curato che ha unito arte e moda: l’ arte del brillante artista Mustafa Sabbagh, le intense, rarefatte atmosfere da lui catturate su foto che raccontano l’ eleganza del gentleman come stile di vita e quella di un gentleman, l’ iconico e brillante Cesare Cunaccia. Il rinomato editor at large of Vogue Italia e L’ Uomo Vogue, eclettica individualità, unica, incisiva, raffinata personalità sopra le righe, è apparso anche nelle vesti di designer dell’ oggetto che idealmente lo rappresenta: gli occhiali, prodotto esclusivo realizzato in corno naturale dalla galleria ottica di Venezia Boudoir di Alessandro De Lorenzo. Un piccolo capolavoro di artigianalità, prodotto dall’ azienda Veneta Farben 1962 di Laggio di Cadore che racchiude in sé materiali di alta qualità, ha un packaging accattivante, una piccola scatola di legno che contiene un astuccio di lana, scelta personalmente da Cunaccia e un sofisticato design che concretizza felicemente il paradigma Brummeliano “Less is more”. La collezione di occhiali è stata esposta unitamente alle creazioni ed ai tessuti dell’ Atelier Santerasmo Cinque di Milano di Alessandro Leonardi e le calzature di Santoni che hanno ritratto l’ inafferrabile, l’ eleganza maschile, la sartorialità – racchiusa nelle creazioni uniche di Atelier Santerasmo Cinque, Isaia e le calzature di Louis Leeman insieme ad altri raffinati oggetti e accessori provenienti dal guardaroba di Cesare Cunaccia – ed i suoi dettagli all’ insegna di lirismo e atemporalità. Un racconto intimistico, luci e ombre che concretizzano un vibrante dialogo tra arte e moda e parlano di una storia di oggi che è un mistero di sempre, l’ eleganza maschile.

WALKING IN VENICE… EPICUREANISM, FASHION, SCENTS & DESIGN

me, photo by Silvano Arnoldo
me, photo by Silvano Arnoldo

My stay in Venice couldn’t start without an Epicurean leitmotiv, the zaletto cookie, a typical Venetian cookie I discovered years ago, by tasting its best version or rather the one I thought until a recent yesterday of being the best, the one by the renowned Rosa Salva pastry shop. Things change. I discovered a new pastry shop due to the suggestion of my dear friend Silvano Arnoldo – who has been my devoted companion during these days – with whom I visited the Trevisan pastry shop (Santa Croce 636). A successful discover, I enjoyed almost every morning, except  the last one which ended in the same place with the meringate pastry, a desire which became reality and naturally shared as the delights must be shared.

Beyond these Epicurean interludes, I visited the new seat of Boudoir, marvelous optic gallery of the nice and charming Alessandro De Lorenzo, featuring collections of exclusive eyewear, including a wide range of artisanal eyewear, as well as creations by brands as Someday Somewhere, Lotho and L.A. Eyeworks (brand which makes me think about Justin Vivian Bond, who has been one of its testimonials).

It completes the range of products that are available at Boudoir, a selection of artistic perfumery by the brand CB I hate perfumes, including also The 2nd (Alan) Cumming, a provocative scent  as its name ironically evokes  and the one who made it, the iconic – movie, tv, theatrical actor and singer – Alan Cumming by teaming with the perfumer Christopher Brosius. It’s a scent dedicated to sex, scotch, cigars and Scotland (the native country of artist), embodying notes of bergamot, black pepper, Scotch pine, whiskey, cigar, heather, rubber, leather, white truffles and peat fire.

My tour on the road followed with the visit of design store Madera, hosting a minimal and refined collection of furniture and accessories for cooking made of hood and ended under the sign of Epicureanism in an enchanting place, the tea-room Beatrice in Calle Lunga San Barnaba, Dorsoduro 2727, where I had white tea (having drank too many coffees to have the Lapsang Souchong tea, my favorite one) and a delicious, light salted pastry. I liked the relaxing, poetic atmosphere of place which has a beautiful garden and it’s also a B&B named Ca’ Fujiyama I highly recommend.

PASSEGGIANDO PER VENEZIA…EPICUREISMO, MODA, PROFUMI & DESIGN

 La mia permanenza a Venezia non poteva cominciare senza un leitmotiv epicureo, lo zaletto, tipico biscotto veneziano da me scoperto anni fa, provando la versione migliore o meglio quella che fino a un recente ieri ritenevo che fosse la versione migliore, quella della rinomata pasticceria  Rosa Salva. Le cose cambiano. Ho scoperto una nuova pasticceria grazie al suggerimento del mio caro amico Silvano Arnoldo – il mio fedele compagno di queste giornate – con il quale mi sono recata presso la pasticceria Trevisan (Santa Croce 636). Una felice scoperta da me apprezzata quasi ogni giorno, eccetto l’ ultimo che si è concluso nel medesimo luogo, ma con la meringata, un desiderio divenuto realtà e naturalmente condiviso, perché i piaceri vanno condivisi.

Three friends, three different approaches to Epicureanism

Oltre questi intermezzi epicurei ho visitato la nuova sede di Boudoir, fantastica galleria ottica del simpatico Alessandro De Lorenzo di cui sono protagoniste esclusive collezioni di occhiali, comprensive di occhiali di fattura artigianale come anche creazioni di brand quali Someday Somewhere, Lotho ed L.A. Eyeworks (marchio che mi fa pensare a Justin Vivian Bond che è stato uno dei suoi testimonial).

Completa la gamma dei prodotti disponibili da Boudoir, una selezione di profumeria artistica del brand CB I hate perfumes che include anche The 2nd Cumming, un profumo provocante come il suo nome ironicamente evoca e come colui che lo ha creato, l’ iconico – attore cinematografico, televisivo, teatrale e cantante – Alan Cumming, in collaborazione con il naso Christopher Brosius. È un profumo dedicato al sesso, allo scotch, ai sigari e alla Scozia (terra natia dell’ artista), che racchiude in sé note di bergamotto, pepe nero, pino di Scozia, sigaro, erica, gomma, cuoio, tartufi bianchi e brace di torba.

Il mio tour è proseguito con la visita al negozio di design Madera che ospita una minimale e raffinata collezione di arredi e accessori per la cucina realizzati in legno e si è concluso all’ insegna dell’ epicureismo in un luogo incantevole, la sala da té Beatrice a Calle Lunga San Barnaba, Dorsoduro 2727, in cui ho preso un tè bianco (avendo bevuto troppi caffè per prendere il tè Lapsang Souchong, il mio preferito) e una deliziosa, leggera torta salata. Ho apprezzato la rilassante poetica atmosfera del luogo che ha un delizioso giardino al suo interno ed è anche un B&B dal nome Ca’ Fujiyama che raccomando vivamente.
