Mariuccia Mandelli, worldwide known as Krizia, died on Monday at 90. She was a powerful woman in a world of men who design clothes for women, and she contributed to transforming Milan into the first capital of ready-to-wear.

Rose quartz PANTONE 13-1520 and Serenity PANTONE 15-3919 are the colors of 2016 according to Pantone, world-renowned authority on color. This time I really like Pantone’s color choice despite ‘What color is in fashion this year?‘ is one of the most nonsense questions by ‘common people’ to fashion insiders, and considering that in 2016 I’m tired of hearing that fashion trends can be simply based on a mathematical algorithm coded with the images of the catwalks. For the first time they are 2 and I really like them, especially when matched together like in the Ermanno Scervino Spring Summer 2016 collection…
Move over, dear fashion influencers, and aspiring Kardashians! The first and only true fashionista in history is a German man with a serious job that allows him to earn a lot of money, an impeccable sense of style in imagining his outfits to get noticed. At 29, he wasn’t ashamed to pose naked, showing (indeed, highlighting) all his imperfections. The name? Matthäus Schwarz.
“Beauty will save the world”, Fyodor Dostoevsky professed this thought in The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov, and after more than a century, it seems to be the only sentence that reassured the art world after the terroristic attacks in Paris of November 13th. For a strange coincidence in the same evening at the Marino Marini Museum in Florence took place the RED performance by Thomas De Falco, the artist who through the wrapping technique aimed to create “a magical net of roots which let flow the desire of inner harmony”. I only wished those roots could have been more deep…
Venerdì 13 novembre alle ore 19.30 l’artista Thomas De Falco invade gli spazi del Museo Marino Marini di Firenze per presentare RED, la sua ultima performance e installazione tessile a cura di Laura Cherubini, con la collaborazione di EQUA di Camilla Morabito.
While the Italian art world for some days is migrating to Turin for the art fair Artissima, I prefer to go against the flow, recommending an interesting event for the lovers of photography: the opening of FINE IS ART. 25 Scatti d’autore, the exhibition that tells the nearly 40 years of the Center Chrome of Florence.
Antonio Marras is the perfect embodiment of what I call “poet-designer”. He is one of the few visionary characters who lives fashion and everything that goes around it, as a means of expression of his cultural identity. I think that due to this reason his invitation and press-kit are the most wanted objects of desire of the Milan Fashion Week; they are like small art works in which he explains his point of view, through images and words inviting the reader to discover a different world.
Despite the high-tech and futuristic progress of the world we live in, the lack of a specific dictionary for the sense of smell still makes the description of a perfume a very difficult task. Even industry experts use terms refered to other senses like touch and taste, which in turn refer to personal feelings and memories. The motto of Pitti Fragranze 2015, the international exhibition of artistic perfumery held in Florence in September (from 11th to 13th), supported this thesis, in fact, the expression “Olfactory Kaleidoscope” proved that the ‘language of the colors’ is a fundamental part of the perfume…
