ALTAROMA: ROAD TO STYLE, THE HOMAGE TO PASQUALE DE ANTONIS

Lightness, elegance turns into a unique timeless style made of different signs. Uniqueness, craftsmanship, poetry, traditions and contemporary times gives rise to a dialogue under the sign of art of making. These were the main features of a suggestive display for paying homage to the renowned fashion photographer Pasquale De Antonis which featured in Road to Style the event by Altaroma to celebrate the most cutting-edge fashion districts and shopping areas being in the Rome. Via del Pellegrino and via dei Cappellari, placed close to Campo dei Fiori square, hosted this nice event I enjoyed very much. It was a joyful walk I started visiting Choup de Thèâtre, awesome vintage boutique by Mariaelena Massetti Zannini and Sara Vaccari hosting also the creations, unique pieces by smashing fashion designers – as Germana Panunzi about I will talk during the forthcoming days -, a vibrant place to discover where to go and come back talking about visions and elegance as attitude and life-style. Walking I run into the boutique Retropose, the renowned boutique Arsenale by Patrizia Pieroni, making sartorial, minimal creations and Dana, catchy concept store where visual arts and design meets fashion as the wonderful creations by Sylvio Giardina being here available evidence. I also enjoyed to see again after a long time Elisabetta La Monica and discover SoloDue, the brand of womenswear and shoes she created, featuring genuine passé-partout embodying her sign, a timeless elegance successfully joining comfort, incisiveness, sobriety and refinement.

ALTAROMA: ROAD TO STYLE, L’ OMAGGIO A PASQUALE DE ANTONIS

Leggerezza, l’ eleganza si trasforma in uno stile unico, senza tempo, fatto di svariati segni. Unicità artigianalità, poesia, tradizione e contemporaneità danno vita a un dialogo all’ insegna dell’ arte del fare. Questi i principali protagonisti di una suggestiva rassegna che ha reso omaggio al rinomato fotografo di moda Pasquale De Antonis che si è tenuta in occasione di Road to Style, l’ evento di Altaroma che celebra i fashion districts e le zone dello shopping di Roma. Via del Pellegrino e via dei Cappellari, che si trovano nei dintorni di Piazza Campo dei Fiori, hanno ospitato questo simpatico evento da me molto apprezzato. Una gioiosa passeggiata da me cominciata visitando Choup de Thèâtre, fantastica boutique vintage di Mariaelena Massetti Zannini e Sara Vaccari che ospita anche le creazioni, pezzi unici di formidabili fashion designer – come Germana Panunzi di cui parlerò nei giorni a venire – un posto vibrante da scoprire, in cui andare e ritornare che parla di visioni e di eleganza come attitudine e stile di vita. Passeggiando mi sono imbattuta nella boutique Retropose, nella rinomata boutique Arsenale di Patrizia Pieroni, che realizza minimali creazioni sartoriali e Dana, accattivante concept store in cui le arti visive e il design incontrano la moda come testimoniano le meravigliose creazioni di Sylvio Giardina che sono ivi disponibili. Mi ha rallegrato rivedere dopo tanto tempo Elisabetta La Monica e scoprire SoloDue, il marchio di abbigliamento donna e calzature da lei creato, di cui sono protagonisti autentici passé-partout che racchiudono il suo segno, un’ eleganza senza tempo che unisce felicemente comfort, incisività, sobrietà e raffinatezza.

ART & VISIONS UNDER THE SIGN OF NACO PARIS

Eclecticism, a vibrant and subversive way of thinking under the sign of art, embodied in “Art is resistance”, categorical imperative turned also in label of unisex clothing, successfully joining fashion and art, making concrete a way of making fashion under the sign of consciousness, healthy visions and positive criticism to make more and better. That is the sign of Naco Paris, brilliant fashion designer, performance artist and awesome model in drag – reminding me the hilarious and vibrant art and beauty of Divine, the iconic muse of John Waters who starred in many films he made as “Hairspray”, “Mondo trasho” and many others, masterpieces of camp culture – who recently featured in “Vous Marie“, the new project by the celebrated photographer Oliviero Toscani with the Paris art gallery La Hune and also in a commercial as testimonial of taxi company Uber.

Eclettismo, un vibrante e sovversivo modo di pensare all’ insegna dell’ arte, racchiuso in “Art is resistance”, imperativo categorico trasformato anche in una etichetta di abbigliamento unisex, che unisce felicemente moda e arte, concretizza un modo di fare moda all’ insegna di consapevolezza, salubri visioni e una critica costruttiva per fare di più e meglio. Questo è il segno di Naco Paris, brillante fashion designer, performance artist e fantastico modello in drag – che mi richiama alla mente l’ ilare e vibrante arte e bellezza di Divine, l’ iconica musa di John Waters, protagonista di varie sue pellicole quali “Hairspray”, “Mondo trasho” e molte altre, capolavori della cultura camp – che recentemente è stato il protagonista di “Vous Marie“, il nuovo progetto del celebre fotografo Oliviero Toscani con la galleria d’ arte di Parigi La Hune ed anche nelle vesti di testimonial della campagna pubblicitaria della compagnia di taxi Uber.

LEIGH BOWERY: ALWAYS & FOREVER

Leigh Bowery, photo by Ole Christiansen
Leigh Bowery, photo by Ole Christiansen

26th March would have been the birthday of Leigh Bowery (who passed away in 1994), genius and legendary Australian performer artist, club promoter, actor, pop star, model, and fashion designer (also for the Michael Clark Dance Company), based in London and was part of London Blitz Kids, New York City Michael Alig’s Club Kids and founder along with Boy George in 1985 of Taboo Club during the times of new-romantic movement. Today I remember him who is considered one of the more influential figures in the 1980s and 1990s London and New York City art and fashion circles, influencing a generation of artists and designers. His influence reached through the fashion, club and art worlds to impact, amongst others, Meadham Kirchhoff, Alexander McQueen, Lucian Freud, Vivienne Westwood, Boy George, Antony and the Johnsons, John Galliano, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, the Scissor Sisters, David LaChapelle, Lady Bunny along with many bands and nightclubs in London and New York City which arguably perpetuated his avant-garde ideas featuring the grotesque as non-conventional standard of beauty. Many are the books, documentary films, exhibitions and the permanent collections at Museums that celebrate his sign, that visionary attitude going beyond time and energy I love and pay homage always and forever.

LEIGH BOWERY: SEMPRE & PER SEMPRE

Il 26 marzo sarebbe stato il compleanno di Leigh Bowery (venuto a mancare nel 1994), geniale e leggendario performer artist australiano, club promoter, attore, pop star, modello e fashion designer(anche per la Michael Clark Dance Company) che ha vissuto a Londra ed ha fatto parte dei Blitz Kids di Londra, dei Club Kids di Michael Alig a New York ed ha fondato con Boy George nel 1985 il famoso locale Taboo ai tempi del movimento new-romantic. Oggi ricordo lui che è considerato una delle figure più emblematiche, avendo influenzato una generazione di artisti e designer. La sua influenza é giunta attraverso il mondo della moda, dei locali notturni e dell’ arte  per avere impatto, tra gli altri, su Meadham Kirchhoff, Alexander McQueen, Lucian Freud, Vivienne Westwood, Boy George, Antony and the Johnsons, John Galliano, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, the Scissor Sisters, David LaChapelle, Lady Bunny unitamente a svariati gruppi e locali notturni a Londra e New York City che presumibilmente hanno perpetrato le sue avveniristiche idee di cui è protagonista il grottesco quale, anticonvenzionale e sovversivo standard di bellezza. Molteplici sono i libri, i documentari, le mostre e le collezioni permanenti nei musei che celebrano il suo segno, quell’ estro visionario oltre il tempo ed energia che amo e a cui rendo omaggio sempre e per sempre.
