It was just only one day I spent in the Rome countryside in La Storta at I Casali del Pino where it was held the tenth edition of Floracult, event created by the bright fashion designer and social activist Ilaria Venturini Fendi, focused on the nature and its culture that featured books launches, talks and permanent installations to pay homage and celebrate the natural world and their little hosts. A smashing chance to come back, enjoy a beloved place, discover and share new ideas and emotions.

Soltanto un giorno, quello da me trascorso nella campagna romana a La Storta presso I Casali del Pino in cui si è tenuta la decima edizione di Floracult, evento creato dalla brillante  fashion designer e attivista nel sociale Ilaria Venturini Fendi, incentrato sulla natura e la sua cultura di cui sono stati protagonisti presentazioni di libri, talks ed eventi permanenti per rendere omaggio e celebrare il mondo della natura ed i suoi piccoli ospiti. Una formidabile occasione per ritornare, apprezzare un luogo a me molto caro, scoprire e condividere nuove idee ed emozioni.

THE MIGRATING POETRY & MELANCHOLY OF ANTONIO MARRAS

Antonio Marras, photo courtesy of Antonio Marras

A tale about migrants, the one by Antonio Marras, presented at the catwalk during the Milan Fashion week, allegory talking about the contemporary time and today migrations, accompanied by the hope that successfully solves as it happen to the forefather Jean-John Marras who moves from France to America, a story, this one, written by the wife Patrizia telling about the hard knocks, journeys, later ending with the coming back to Alghero and giving rise to one of the fashion designer’s ancestors. A journey in the catwalk which evokes atmospheres from early Nineties, emphasized by music and dances by dancers who alternate during the different moments of fashion show of the Fall/Winter 2018-2019 collection.

It shines languid, fluid and solemn architectures, enriched by accessories as the bags becoming belts and enhancing silhouette. Lace, tulle, red carnations prints, floral elements, precious decorations, along with sporty-chic suggestions as the sweathshirts with lettering draw an incisive lines strategy which is at the same time light ( featuring the red trench made of silk satin, the tuxedo jacket, patchwork jacket decorated with embroidery and lace, the inlaid bomber jackets and men coats with neck made of fur) under the sign of poetry and melancholy, the sadness which becomes lighter.

 

LA POESIA E MALINCONIA MIGRANTE DI ANTONIO MARRAS

 

 

Un racconto di migranti, quello di Antonio Marras, presentato sulla passerella durante la fashion week milanese, allegoria che parla del momento contemporaneo e delle migrazioni odierne, accompagnato dalla speranza che ciò si risolva felicemente come quello dell’ antenato Jean-John Marras che dalla Francia si sposta in America, una storia, questa, scritta dalla moglie Patrizia che ne racconta le peripezie, i viaggi, per poi ritornare ad Alghero e dar vita a uno degli antenati dello stilista. Un viaggio in passerella, che evoca atmosfere dei primi Novecento enfatizzate da musiche e danze di ballerini che si alternano durante i vari momenti della sfilata della collezione autunno/inverno 2018-2019.

Splendono architetture languide, fluide e solenni, arricchite da accessori quali le borse che diventano cinture ed esaltano la silhouette. Pizzo, tulle, stampe di garofani, elementi floreali, preziosi decori, unitamente a suggestioni sporty-chic quali le felpe con lettering disegnano una strategia delle linee incisiva e al tempo stesso lieve (di cui sono protagonisti il trench di raso rosso, la giacca da smoking, le giacche patchwork impreziosite di ricami e pizzo, i bomber intarsiati e i cappotti da uomo con collo di pelliccia) all’ insegna di poesia e malinconia, la tristezza che diventa più leggera.

MELINITA: A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE BAG

“The different loves of a man” bag: a man and his lost loves/”I diversi amori di un uomo” bag: un uomo e i suoi amori perduti

 

The bag, an art work, becomes a canvas where are painted the portraits of men, women, feelings, emotions and their universality. It’s caressing, the overwhelming tale on cloth – velvet and other precious materials – as it is also evidenced by the name of every single bag – as “the elaboration of a mourning”, “a woman says but not says”, “ the man playing with the feelings” -, which embodies a different story, becomes an accessory and talks about desires, thoughts and situations everyone has experience just only once in its own life. The elegance, a lifestyle, made of uniqueness, lightness, irony and poetry, turns into an awesome sentimental journey. This is all that shines in the collection by Melinita, brand of accessories created by the bright Carmela D’ Urso, successfully joining a vibrant concept under the sign of exclusivity, of beautiful and well made. The sophisticated creations she made, divided in many thematic series, are genuine unique items, entirely handmade and enriched by embroideries, decorations as the little dolls depicting men and women she painted and dressed. These little, big masterpieces, to have and collect, are available at the renowned Rome concept store, design gallery Fondaco Gallery.

MELINITA: UN VIAGGIO SENTIMENTALE ATTRAVERSO LA BORSA

 

The susspended man Melinita bag: the lightness of a man suspended between dream and reality/ l’ uomo sospeso Melinita bag: l’ uomo sospeso tra sogno e realtà

 

La borsa, un’ opera d’arte, diventa una tela su cui sono dipinti i ritratti di uomini, donne, sentimenti, emozioni e della loro universalità. Carezzevole, l’ avvincente racconto su tessuto – velluto e altri preziosi materiali -, come si evince anche dal nome di ogni singola borsa – quale “l’ elaborazione di un lutto”, “una donna dice, ma non dice”, “l’ uomo che gioca con i sentimenti” – che racchiude in sé una diversa storia, diviene un accessorio e parla di desideri, pensieri e situazioni che ognuno di noi ha sperimentato su sé stesso almeno una volta nella vita. L’ eleganza, uno stile di vita, fatto di unicità, levità, ironia e poesia si trasforma in un fantastico viaggio sentimentale. Questo è tutto ciò che splende nella collezione di Melinita, brand di accessori creato dalla brillante Carmela D’ Urso, che unisce felicemente un vibrante concept all’ insegna di esclusività, del bello e ben fatto. Le sue raffinate creazioni, suddivise in varie serie tematiche, sono autentici pezzi unici, realizzati interamente a mano e arricchiti di ricami, decori, quali le bamboline che incarnano uomini e donne da lei dipinti e vestiti. Questi piccoli, grandi capolavori, da avere e collezionare, sono disponibili nel rinomato concept store, galleria di design di Roma Fondaco Gallery.

 

The man playing with the feelings Melinita bag: the man playing with feelings of women stays alone/ L’ uomo che gioca con i sentimenti Melinita bag: l’ uomo che gioca con i sentimenti delle donne dopo resta solo

 

the woman in white Melinita bag: the light soul of a woman/ la donna in bianco Melinita bag: l’ anima leggera di una donna

 

balance and style of a woman Melinita bag/ equilibrio e stile di una donna Melinita bag

 

a woman says, but doesn’t say Melinita bag/ una donna dice, ma non dice Melinita bag

 

elaboration of a mourning Melinita bag: the pain for the loss of a love/elaborazione di un lutto Melinita bag: il dolore per la perdita di un’ amore

 

zen and fire( the weight of contraddictions)Melinita bag: the contrast bewtween conflicting emotions sweeps away the balance of a woman/ zend e fuoco( il peso delle contraddizioni) Mellinita bag: il contrasto tra emozioni in conflitto travolge l’ equilibrio di una donna

 

 

a man divided in half Melinita bag: a man and his complicated loves/ un uomo diviso a metà Melinita bag: un uomo e i suoi complicati amori

 

ad the world turns Melinita bag: l’ egoismo degli uomini/ gira il mondo gira Melinita bag: l’ egoismo degli uomini, tutto gira intorno a me

 

the elegance of a man Melinita bag: a man searching for his soul/ l’ eleganza di un uomo Melinita bag: l’ uomo alla ricerca della propria anima

 

the temptations of a man Melinita bag: a man gagged and ties, thus he resists to the temptations/ le tentazioni di un uomo Melinita bag: un uomo imbavagliato e legato resiste alle tentazioni

UNDERGROUND SEDUCTION: FASHION, ART & PERFORMANCE UNDER THE SIGN OF NACO PARIS

It was recently held in Paris at the enchanting concept store Front de Mode, placed in the suggestive area of Marais, the presentation of “Underground seduction” the Fall/Winter 2016-2017 unisex collection by Naco Paris, which has enriched by “Kiss”, the performance made by the bright fashion designer as his alter ego Madame Paris. Fluid, sporty-chic lines, colors, bright shades of yellow along which black, white, green and blue, recycled cloths, rubber, catchy slogans as “have fun”, “kill the system”, “forever fake” are some of the patterns embodied in this smashing collection where it shines a punk attitude, made of irreverence, joy and activism. The same mood finds a new context in the art, a series of photographs, the self-portraits of Madame Paris that were exhibited in the concept store and the performance by Madame Paris( made by using the cruelty free lipstick by Nabla).

Intimacy and universality, the language of a gesture turning into matter, the kiss, which becomes a clear track of love and a way of being, the queerness, in its many shades, metaphor successfully made concrete on paper. Different are the tracks of lipstick on paper, some are more intense, reminding a passionate kiss, instead other ones are more delicate, different kisses for every occasion, though every occasion is good to kiss oneself and love oneself, love the ones you love, bring, give and spread love. That is the core of performance: to act, do, dream, love joyfully, without any limit. The universality of love remarks another issue, the queerness and gender fluidity – I support -, love nullifying the gender(, considering sexuality, sex and its different architectures is not about gender, it is just about individual’ s intimacy, something I respect and celebrate through silence and discretion). It’s a vibrant tale, being the successful evidence of a poetical and political way of making art and fashion, a genuine underground seduction for all the ones who are rebel hearts.

Si è recentemente tenuta a Parigi  nell’ incantevole concept store Front de Mode, ubicato nei suggestivi dintorni di Marais, la presentazione di “Underground seduction” la collezione unisex autunno/inverno 2016-2017 di Naco Paris, che è stata arricchita da “Kiss”, la performance realizzata dal brillante fashion designer nelle vesti del suo alter ego Madame Paris. Linee fluide, sporty-chic, colori, brillanti nuances di giallo unitamente a nero, bianco, verde e blu, tessuti di riciclo, vinile, accattivanti slogan quali “have fun”(“divertiti”), “kill the system”(“uccidi il sistema”), “forever fake”(“per sempre falso”) sono alcuni dei motivi impressi in questa formidabile collezione, in cui splende un’ attitudine punk, fatta di irriverenza, gioia e attivismo. Il medesimo mood trova un nuovo contesto nell’ arte, in una serie di fotografie, gli autoritratti di Madame Paris esposti nel concept store e la performance di Madame Paris( effettuata avvalendosi del rossetto cruelty free di Nabla).

Intimità e universalità, il linguaggio di un gesto che si trasforma in materia, il bacio, che diventa tangibile traccia di un sentimento, l’ amore e di un modo di essere, dell’ esser queer, nelle sue svariate sfumature, metafora felicemente concretizzata su carta Diverse sono le tracce di rossetto sulla carta, alcune sono più intense e ricordano un bacio appassionato altre invece sono più delicati, baci diversi per ogni occasione, anche se ogni occasione è buona per baciarsi, amarsi amare chi si ama, prendere, dare e spargere amore. Questo è il cuore della performance: agire, fare, sognare, amare con gioia e senza alcun limite. L’ universalità dell’ amore rimarca un’ altra problematica, l’ esser queer e la fluidità del gender – che sostengo -, l’ amore che vanifica il gender ( considerando la sessualità, il sesso e le sue svariate architetture non una questione di gender, bensì inerente l’ intimità del singolo individuo che in quanto tale rispetto e celebro attraverso il silenzio e la discrezione). Un vibrante racconto che è la felice dimostrazione di un modo politico e poetico di fare arte e moda, un’ autentica seduzione underground per tutti coloro che sono cuori ribelli.

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.

Emerging creativity and the talent-scouting work started by Altaroma featured in the pre-opening of its Winter edition, developing the successful teaming – started since the last year – with Coin Excelsior, the Rome multi-brand department store, focused on contemporary fashion which hosted the creations of the Who Is On Next talent-scouting award finalists as Catherine de’ Medici 1533, Elena Ghisellini, Giancarlo Petriglia, L72 along with the fashion show of Quattromani. The Fall/Winter 2016-2017 collection by this brand, created by the fashion designers duo formed by Massimo Noli and Nicola Frau, pays homage to the Sardinia suggestions, the ritual of Argia spider, reinterpreting a legend which talks about songs and dances between women – a single, a married and a widow – as remedy to heal from the poisonous bite of spider. A tale under the sign of femininity made of new Seventies volumes caressing the silhouette, short, fluid lines, mohair, wool, “nowind” technical cloth, crêpe and eco-fur. A healthy optimism is embodied in the palette of colors including mustard, red, black, blue as well as pink, azure, camel and white details enriching the garments.

LA PRE-OPENING DI ALTAROMA ALL’ INSEGNA DEI GIOVANI TALENTI

La creatività emergente e l’ opera di talent-scouting avviata da Altaroma è stata protagonista della pre-opening della sua edizione invernale, consolidando la felice collaborazione – iniziata a partire dallo scorso anno – con Coin Excelsior, il department store multi-brand di Roma, dedicato alla moda contemporanea che ha ospitato le creazioni dei finalisti del concorso di talent-scouting Who Is On Next quali Catherine de’ Medici 1533, Elena Ghisellini, Giancarlo Petriglia, L72 unitamente alla sfilata di Quattromani. La collezione autunno/inverno 2016-2017 di questo brand, creata dal duo di fashion designer formato da Massimo Noli e Nicola Frau, rende omaggio a saggestioni sarde, il rituale dell’ argia che reinterpreta una leggenda, la quale parla dei canti e delle danze tra donne – una nubile, una sposata  e una vedova – quale cura per guarire dal morso velenoso del ragno. Un racconto all’ insegna della femminilità fatta di volumi neo-Seventies che carezzano la  silhouette, linee corte e fluide, mohair, lana, tessuto tecnico “nowind”, crêpe e pelliccia ecologica. Un salubre ottimismo è racchiuso nella palette di colori che includono mostarda, rosso, nero, blu, come anche dettagli in rosa, azzurro, cammello e bianco che arricchiscono i capi.
