Innovation and experimentation, a vibrant aesthetics embodying a healthy ethic, this is the “Bombyx” project by Matteo Thiela, visionary fashion designer who inspired by the silkworm, creating a cloth he patented – made by teaming with a group of homeless women – combining wool, silicon and other materials, some of them have a reflective effect, feature in a series of clothes, suits and long shirts, solemn and austere architectures that evidence his conceptual rigor and are shown in these days, during the Paris Fashion Week, in the windows of renowned concept-store L’ Eclaireur. Fashion meets art, as it is impressed in “Tetris”, the Fall/Winter 2016-2017 collection by Giulia Marani who collaborate with the bright artist Nicola Felice Torcoli, where the patterns impressed in the collage he made found a new context in the soft creations by Giulia, joining comfort, refinement, high-end materials, giving rise to genuine passé-partout.

Craftsmanship, timeless elegance and precious details talking about excellence are part of the hats by Move Roma, brand created by the milliner Massimiliano Amicucci. Poetry and lightness, paying homage to the nature and its little hosts, are the sign of Olga Pong, milliner, who made head accessories, jewelry and also a delicate site-specific installation by using wood, lace and hanger. Art, antique and design, old and modern, cameo becomes contemporary in the successful reinterpretation of Anna Porcu, Tuscany jewelry who uses antique cameos, as the ones presented during the exhibition event, coming from the mid-seventeenth century, blending gold, silver and hand carved leather. A smashing design along with high jewelry techniques makes concrete the Eastern and Western culture coming together. This is the sign of young and promising jewelry designer Bea Bongiasca which shines in the collection “No Rice No Life” she made where she questions on themes that are strictly connected to the human being, as the necessities, real needs of individual and consumption in a globalized society, an engaging tale under the sign of deepness, lightness and irony. Unusual materials combining precious gems to plastic, give rise to a brilliant reinterpretation of the gorgier concept – depicted by Van Dyck – by SH-JEWELS, brand created by Stephan Hamel in collaboration with Roberta Bini.

Si è recentemente tenuto a Milano, a Palazzo Visconti, in via Lanzone 2, presso le suggestive stanze di un appartamento creato dal celebre architetto Luigi Caccia Dominioni, l’ evento espositivo “Lines strategy: gruppo di famiglie creative in un interno”, ideato da 5VIE ART+ DESIGN e da me – incluso nel format di “Fashion at 5 Vie”, macro happening che si è svolto nel distretto di 5 Vie, comprensivo di 15 eventi e presentazioni, inserito nel calendario della settimana della moda milanese -, patrocinato dalla Camera Buyer e da me curato di cui è stata protagonista la creatività made in Italy di Matteo Thiela, Giulia Marani, Move Cappelli, Olga Pong, Anna Porcu, Bea Bongiasca, SH-Jewels by Stephan Hamel, Mia D’ Arco, Susana Traça, Svetlana Schmidt e Arnoldo Battois. Un percorso espositivo esperienziale, enfatizzato dall’ estro del set-designer Giovanni Ottonello – realizzato mediante la gentile collaborazione dell’ Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) di Milano – e dagli arredi creati da Luigi Caccia Dominioni, fatto di presenze e assenze, levità, presente e passato in cui le suggestioni di viscontiana memoria, memorie filmiche tratte dalla celebre pellicola “Gruppo di famiglia in un interno” si univano alla creatività contemporanea.

Innovazione e sperimentazione, un’ estetica vibrante che racchiude un’ etica salubre, questo è il progetto “Bombyx” di Matteo Thiela, visionario fashion designer che si è ispirato alla larva del baco da seta, creando un tessuto da lui brevettato – realizzato effettuando un tutoraggio a un gruppo di donne senza fissa dimora – che unisce lana, silicone e altri materiali alcuni dei quali hanno un effetto catarifrangente, protagonista una serie di abiti, completi e tuniche, architetture, solenni e austere che testimoniano il suo rigore concettuale e in questi giorni, durante la fashion week parigina, sono esposte nelle vetrine del rinomato concept-store L’ Eclaireur. La moda incontra l’ arte, come è impresso in “Tetris”, la collezione autunno/inverno 2016-2017 di Giulia Marani che si è avvalsa della collaborazione del brillante artista Nicola Felice Torcoli, in cui i motivi impressi nei suoi collage tridimensionali hanno trovato un nuovo contesto nelle morbide creazioni di Giulia che uniscono comfort, raffinatezza, alta qualità dei materiali, dando vita ad autentici passè-partout.

Artigianalità, eleganza senza tempo e dettagli preziosi che parlano di eccellenza sono impressi nei cappelli di Move Roma, brand creato dal designer Massimiliano Amicucci. Poesia e levità, suggestioni esistenzialiste che rendono omaggio alla natura e ai suoi piccoli ospiti sono il segno di Olga Pong, designer di cappelli, cerchietti, gioielli che ha anche realizzato una delicata installazione site-specific avvalendosi di legno, pizzo e fil di ferro. Arte, antiquariato e design, antico e moderno, il cammeo diventa contemporaneo nella felice reinterpretazione di Anna Porcu, designer di gioielli toscana che si avvale di cammei antichi, come quelli presentati nell’ evento espositivo, risalenti alla metà dell’ Ottocento, che uniscono oro, argento e pelle intagliata a mano. Un formidabile design unitamente a tecniche di alta gioielleria concretizza l’ incontro tra la cultura orientale e occidentale. Questo, il segno della giovane e promettente designer di gioielli Bea Bongiasca che splende nella sua collezione “No Rice No Life” in cui si interroga su tematiche strettamente connesse all’ essere uomo, quali le esigenze, i reali bisogni dell’ individuo e il consumismo in una società globalizzata, un racconto avvincente all’ insegna di profondità, leggerezza e ironia. Materiali insoliti che uniscono gemme preziose a plastica, danno vita a una felice rivisitazione del concetto di gorgiera – immortalata nei dipinti di Van Dyck – di SH-JEWELS, brand creato da Stephan Hamel in collaborazione con Roberta Bini.

Essenzialità, forme che incorporano il gusto e la cultura della tradizione e dell’ artigianalità italiana sono il leitmotiv di Mia D’arco, brand di gioielli che nasce nel 2013 dalla fusione tra lo spirito imprenditoriale dell’attore Luca Argentero con la sua casa di produzione Inside productions e la passione innata per la moda della moglie Myriam Catania e sua sorella Giulia. Una femminilità assertiva e cosmopolita, enfatizzata da un’ accattivante combinazione di segni e culture, è celebrata dalla designer di calzature Susana Traça, la quale ha presentato la “Running strike”, protagonista della collezione autunno/inverno 2015-2016 del marchio che porta il suo nome, una divertente reintepretazione della sneaker che unisce il calzino di camoscio al cavallino stampato unitamente ad altri raffinati materiali.

Il misticismo, il concetto del mantra è invece rivisitato in chiave pop da Svetlana Schmidt, geniale designer e artista che ha realizzato collages i cui motivi sono stati trasposti su foulard e cuscini di seta di manifattura comasca. Tali creazioni saranno presenti all’ edizione del 2015 della fiera d’ arte contemporanea milanese MIART. Un lusso senza tempo, preziosi dettagli e una continua ricerca di forme e volumi abbinate a una fine artigianalità sono i paradigmi di Arnoldo Battois, marchio di borse creato da Silvano Arnoldo e Massimiliano Battois. Questi, i protagonisti dell’ evento, che si è aperto venerdì 27 febbraio 2015, è proseguito fino al primo pomeriggio di domenica 1 marzo 2015 ed è stato celebrato dal party “Beyond the lines, 5 Vie” tenuto in serata il 28 febbraio 2015 con il DJ set del noto personaggio televisivo, radiofonico e attivista nel sociale Andrea Pellizzari. Un interludio all’ insegna di concetti e idee in movimento che rendono omaggio al made in Italy ed ai suoi segni più vibranti che parlano di eccellenza, contemporaneità e unicità, arricchito dal suadente gusto dei vini della casa vinicola Antonutti.

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.

THE GEORGIAN CHRONICLES (6): AN AFTERNOON IN BATUMI, FASHION & FUN

My successful stay in Georgia for attending at Be Next, event created by Sofia Tchkonia which was held in Kobuleti at the Georgia Palace Hotel and ended with a hilarious day which started with a sightseeing in Batumi, city where the modern and different architectures of buildings and many hotels combine to the enchanting Georgian buildings. An evidence of new architectures are the two towers that here are, the Alphabetical Tower and another one which successfully evokes the Gotham city tower (but unfortunately without featuring any Batman). Later I went along with other people – Elisa Nalin, Andrea Provvidenza and Caterina Di Bert to Piazza, a square named “Piazza” – word which in Italian language stands as “Square” – and once I came there, I heard the sounds of a track by Adriano Celentano, I immediately laugh and talked to my companions about the existence of a county in Italy, close to Treviso named “Paese”, standing as “County”. Later I visited the concept store Made in Georgia which opened in the same day I visited it which hosted the collections made by Georgian fashion designers as Aka Nanitashivili and many others. The afternoon ended under the sign of Epicureanism with David Koma who invited me to join with him and go to Marcel – thinking wrongly he was a friend of David based in Batumi, instead it was a restaurant – place where I enjoyed delicious dishes that were typically Georgian.

Later I had a bucolic interlude visiting the Batumi Botanical Garden where it was held the fashion show by Avtandil, featuring a post-atomic, dream-like and zombiesque atmosphere, long dresses, catchy constructions, madras patterns. and successful overlaps of textiles under the sign of a languid and dramatic femininity. After the fashion show the zombiesque atmospheres has been the inspiration of some pictures I took of Andrea Provvidenza, Jacopo Manga, Elisa Nalin and Giovanni Ottonello.

I came back to the Kobuleti Georgia Palace Hotel where it was held the Be Next closing party, White party – which requested a white dress code, but naturally due to by nocturnal and sepulchral habit, black was the new white – where the Russian journalist Natasha Turovnikova turned into a smashing DJ, maker of a evening soundtrack which included celebrated tracks from Seventies, that extremely emphasized the fun of hosts.

LE CRONACHE GEORGIANE (6): UN POMERIGGIO A BATUMI, MODA & DIVERTIMENTO

La mia felice permanenza in Georgia per partecipare a Be Next, evento creato da Sofia Tchkonia che si è tenuto a Kobuleti presso il Georgia Palace Hotel e si è concluso con una ilare giornata che è iniziata con una gita a Batumi, città in le moderne e svariate architetture degli edifici e i plurimi hotels si combinano agli incantevoli edifici georgiani. Una dimostrazione delle nuove architetture sono le due torri che ivi si trovano, la Torre dell’ alfabeto e un’ altra che evoca felicemente la torre di Gotham (ma sfortunatamente senza la presenza di alcun Batman). Successivamente mi sono recata unitamente ad altri – Elisa Nalin, Andrea Provvidenza e Caterina Di Bert – presso Piazza, una piazza chiamata “Piazza” – parola che in italiano equivale a “piazza” – e una volta giunta ivi, ho sentito le sonorità di un brano di Adriano Celentano, sono scoppiata immediatamente a ridere e ho parlato ai miei compagni dell’ esistenza di un paese in Italia, vicino a Treviso, chiamato “Paese”, parola che sta a significare “Paese”, un nome molto chiaro. Dopodiché ho visitato il concept store Made in Georgia che aveva inaugurato lo stesso giorno in cui l’ ho visitato che ospitava le collezioni realizzate da fashion designers georgiani quali Aka Nanitashivili e molti altri. Il pomeriggio si è concluso all’ insegna dell’ epicureismo con David Koma che mi ha invitato a unirmi a lui e andare da Marcel – pensando erroneamente che fosse un amico di David residente a Batumi, mentre invece era un ristorante – luogo in cui ho apprezzato deliziose pietanze tipicamente georgiane.

Dopo ho avuto un intermezzo bucolico visitando l’ Orto Botanico di Batumi in cui si è tenuta la sfilata di Avtandil, di cui è sono stati protagonisti un’ atmosfera post-atomica, onirica e zombiesca, abiti lunghi, accattivanti costruzioni, stampe madras e sovrapposizioni di tessuti all’ insegna di una languida e drammatica femminilità. Dopo la sfilata le atmosfere zombiesche sono state l’ ispirazione di alcune fotografie da me scattate ad Andrea Provvidenza, Jacopo Manga, Elisa Nalin e Giovanni Ottonello.

Son tornata al Georgia Palace Hotel di Kobuleti in cui si è tenuto il party di chiusura di Be Next, il White party – che richiedeva un dress code di colore bianco, ma naturalmente in ragione della mia consuetudine notturna e sepolcrale, il nero era il nuovo bianco – in cui la giornalista russa Natasha Turovnikova si è trasformata in una formidabile DJ, artefice di una colonna sonora della serata che includeva celebri brani degli anni Settanta che hanno enfatizzato oltremodo il divertimento degli ospiti.
