final week of May turned out to be more intense than expected. <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/45585/urban-heat-reduction-solutions">The world seems to be reacting to the sudden rise in temperatures</a> with an increasingly palpable sense of nervousness. Opening this twenty-third week of the year were the discussions surrounding AI, as <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/45531/pope-leo-xiv-encyclical-magnifica-humanitas-artificial-intelligence">Pope Leo XIV</a></strong>, on the occasion of his first encyclical <em>Magnifica Humanitas</em>, is set to discuss in Rome with atheist and Anthropic co-founder <strong>Christopher Olah</strong> the development of technologies capable of serving the common good. Setting moral questions aside for a moment, <strong>Jeremy Scott</strong> instead delivered a speech at the Kansas City Art Institute <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45525/american-gen-z-against-ai-us-universities">on the importance of creativity and the infinite possibilities of the human mind</a>, impossible for a computer to replicate.</p><p>While waiting for further developments, all that remains is to deal with the seasonal wardrobe transition, perhaps leaving sneakers behind for a while, since <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45568/loafers-vs-sneakers-end-of-streetwear-return-to-classics">the </a><strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45568/loafers-vs-sneakers-end-of-streetwear-return-to-classics">loafer</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45568/loafers-vs-sneakers-end-of-streetwear-return-to-classics"> now seems to be establishing itself as the ultimate shoe</a>. And if you still don&#8217;t own a pair, you can always join the<strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45570/luxury-too-is-giving-in-to-livestream-shopping"> livestreams organised by Farfetch</a></strong>, which resemble cable TV shopping channels more than a new way of purchasing luxury goods. And should you feel guilty about a new purchase, don&#8217;t worry: <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45590/countries-spending-most-on-luxury-goods">there are countries where </a><strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45590/countries-spending-most-on-luxury-goods">citizens spend over 730 dollars a year</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45590/countries-spending-most-on-luxury-goods"> </a>between boutiques and online platforms.

<strong>rapporto tra moda e letteratura</strong>, a dispetto di chi, ancora oggi, sembra considerarla un&#8217;anomalia. Come mai la moda ha bisogno della letteratura? Mi si chiede (e mi fa ridere che non sia mai il contrario, forse perch&#233; sarebbe troppo ovvia la risposta). E <strong>che cos&#8217;hanno in comune i libri con i vestiti? </strong>In quanto curatrice del Miu Miu Literary Club, fondato e diretto da Miuccia Prada dal 2024, sono tutte domande su cui ho avuto modo di riflettere a lungo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All&#8217;inizio mi impegnavo con entusiasmo ad articolare dei punti di aggancio. Per esempio - dicevo &#8211; c&#8217;&#232; questa <strong>ricerca incessante del grande classico</strong>, del romanzo universale che possa durare oltre il tempo, di quella borsa iconica che vince sul veloce succedersi delle tendenze; e poi lo stile, lo stile che (ho scoperto studiando), &#232; un concetto comune ad entrambi i mondi e deriva dalla parola latina <em><strong>stylus</strong></em>, l&#8217;oggetto appuntito che si utilizzava nell&#8217;antichit&#224; per scrivere sopra le tavolette di cera o d&#8217;argilla. Oggi, sia in letteratura che nella moda, lo stile &#232; quella cosa che lascia il segno, che <strong>non si fa dimenticare facilmente</strong> dopo aver letto una storia o dopo l&#8217;incontro con una persona non solo ben vestita, ma che risalta in un modo tutto suo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Infine c'&#232; la questione della <strong>trama</strong>: la trama di un libro, la trama di un tessuto. Questo punto mi ha fatto da assist tante volte per passare a dire che tutto sommato sia la moda che la letteratura sono <strong>due ecosistemi che desiderano raccontare storie</strong>. Lo fanno intrecciando elementi che significano s&#233; stessi ma anche altro, e in parte, anche non provandoci direttamente, hanno sempre <strong>qualcosa da dire sulla societ&#224; e il contesto che li hanno prodotti</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nonostante tutto, queste cose vengono recepite con interesse dai miei interlocutori, ma non sono sufficienti a rispondere alle loro domande, perch&#233; <strong>da sole non riescono a scardinare il pregiudizio</strong> &#8211; vivo da entrambi i lati &#8211; che la moda appartenga al reame della <strong>frivolezza</strong> e la letteratura a quello della <strong>conoscenza</strong>, spesso percepita come difficile e polverosa.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Di recente, nel corso di un pomeriggio di <em>doom scrolling</em>, sono capitata su un post in cui si commentava la scelta &#8211; secondo l&#8217;autore <strong>paradossale</strong> &#8211; di usare la<strong> figura di Simone de Beauvoir</strong> per un evento legato al mondo della moda. Esiste perfino un&#8217;intervista (faceva notare l&#8217;utente social) in cui la filosofa francese avrebbe detto che la moda, no, quella proprio era l&#8217;ultimo dei suoi pensieri.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Questa cosa mi ha fatto sorridere.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0b3aa269-ca6e-40ff-aea8-af48e2ba510c_2280x2850.avif&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd3da0ce-0af1-483e-8795-28c5bd2edee8_2280x2848.avif&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Observer picture archive: \&quot;My clothes and I\&quot;, by Simone de Beauvoir, 20 March 1960&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/66111277-e757-48e0-b1e6-0b2709d3c8cc_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Era chiaro che la persona che aveva scritto quelle cose non avesse letto l&#8217;intera intervista, pubblicata sull&#8217;Observer con il titolo <em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2019/mar/17/observer-archive-my-clothes-and-i-by-simone-de-beauvoir-20-march-1960">My clothes and I</a></em> e oggi facilmente accessibile online.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">L&#8217;articolo me lo aveva fatto conoscere <strong>Maria Luisa Frisa</strong>, durante una bella chiacchierata proprio sulla questione del ritrovato connubio tra moda e letteratura. La firma &#232; di <strong>Cynthia Judah</strong>, una giornalista che insieme al <strong>fotografo Jack Nisberg</strong> nel <strong>1960</strong> si era recata<strong> a casa di Beauvoir</strong> per mettere il naso nel suo armadio e parlare di vestiti. &#200; vero, proprio all&#8217;inizio della conversazione, l&#8217;intellettuale risponde in modo spiazzante: <em>&#171;Devo dire che non mi interessano i vestiti, ho cos&#236; tante cose a cui pensare, tanti altri interessi che i vestiti non mi passano proprio per la testa.&#187;</em> Ma queste sono solo le prime righe dell&#8217;intervista. Paragrafo dopo paragrafo, in quello che &#232; un lungo reportage da casa della scrittrice, ci vengono presentati <strong>i suoi capi preferiti</strong>, cappottini, pellicce, vestaglie, cappelli, ciascuno dotato di una storia di accompagnamento. Insieme alla descrizione dell&#8217;oggetto, infatti, Beauvoir si diverte a raccontare le <strong>sessioni di shopping</strong> che hanno portato all&#8217;acquisto nel corso dei suoi viaggi intorno al mondo, da Madrid a Mosca, dalla Cina fino a New York.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In quell&#8217;occasione la filosofa confessa alla giornalista che da bambina non aveva particolarmente a cuore i vestiti, che invece associava ai suoi genitori e al loro stile di vita convenzionale, troppo borghese. Con l&#8217;insegnamento alla Sorbona tuttavia, ha cominciato a giocare con la moda, prima <strong>per aiutarsi a entrare nel ruolo di docente</strong> -moda quindi come <strong>travestimento</strong>, come disposizione di un ruolo sociale &#8211; e poi <strong>per esprimere s&#233; stessa</strong>, al punto che al secondo anno d&#8217;insegnamento alcune studentesse avevano anche cominciato a copiarla.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/486fc103-38e1-4226-970a-91ca605555e7_3800x3798.avif&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d7ea4ce8-0de5-483b-b28f-c200b21434a5_3800x3062.avif&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Observer picture archive: \&quot;My clothes and I\&quot;, by Simone de Beauvoir, 20 March 1960&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8ad452af-ef62-4f31-b5bb-f8fe5720a106_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Sfido chiunque a leggere quest&#8217;intervista e a non percepire tutta la gioia e il divertimento della donna mentre <strong>ci parla dei suoi vestiti</strong>, tirando fuori i dettagli dell&#8217;origine di ciascun capo. Come per esempio quando racconta di un viaggio a New York e delle ore di shopping trascorse in quell&#8217;occasione: <em>&#171;Mi sono divertita molto: ho comprato un cappottino bianco, di meravigliosa fattura &#8211; lo indosso ancora &#8211; e un cappotto di pelliccia. Non saprei dire di che tipo ma era tutta soffice.&#187;</em>  Per non parlare del suo <strong>periodo esotico</strong>, quando era nata in lei la passione per camicette e vestaglie di seta. <strong>Tutti acquisti che si era potuta permettere proprio grazie alla scrittura</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alla fine della chiacchierata con la giornalista inglese, sembra che Beauvoir abbia abbassato la guardia. Trascinata dal potere delle storie, le avventure che l&#8217;avevano portata all&#8217;acquisto dei suoi &#8220;tesori&#8221; personali, viene meno in lei quella resistenza che l&#8217;aveva portata a dichiarare all&#8217;inizio di non essere affatto interessata alla moda.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In principio erano gli <strong>artisti</strong> - scrittori, filosofi, esteti - che dettavano le regole dello stile, sacerdoti di senso estetico, ai quali si guardava con fascino, con ammirazione e a volte con divertimento. Poi &#232; arrivata la <strong>controcultura</strong>. Intorno alla met&#224; del Novecento tra moda e letteratura si &#232; creata una frattura che permane ancora oggi sotto forma di stereotipo: da un lato la superficie patinata del mondo della moda, dall&#8217;altro impegno intellettuale che si tiene lontano &#8211; anche se solo apparentemente &#8211; da questioni di stile e tendenze. Nel 1960 Simone de Beauvoir era una degli intellettuali engag&#233; pi&#249; in vista del panorama internazionale e mi sembra che la prima risposta data nell&#8217;intervista sia pi&#249; che altro <strong>una risposta di servizio</strong>. O forse, e questo &#232; anche probabile, per moda intendeva &#8220;<em><strong>tendenza</strong></em>&#8221;, e nella tendenza vedeva <strong>omologazione</strong>, lei che aveva usato i vestiti per raccontare s&#233; stessa, il suo rigore, la raffinatezza del suo sguardo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Certo &#232; che a pi&#249; di sessant&#8217;anni di distanza da quelle dichiarazioni, qualcosa sta cambiando, e a me pare che si tratti soprattutto di <strong>una questione di possibilit&#224;</strong>: da un lato per la letteratura, che grazie alla moda riesce ad <strong>ampliare il proprio bacino di lettori e lettrici</strong>, ottenendo una visibilit&#224; su scala globale in contesti a volte anche imprevisti, che avrebbe raggiunto difficilmente da sola; dall&#8217;altro per la moda, che grazie alla letteratura esce <strong>rafforzata nel suo potere di raccontare storie</strong>, aggiungendo ulteriori significati alla galassia di simboli di cui da sempre si compone.</p><div

defend the relationship between <strong>fashion and literature</strong>, despite the fact that even today many people still seem to consider it an anomaly. Why does fashion need literature? people ask me (and it makes me laugh that the opposite is never asked, perhaps because the answer would be too obvious). And <strong>what do books and clothes possibly have in common?</strong>As curator of the Miu Miu Literary Club, founded and directed by Miuccia Prada since 2024, these are all questions I have had ample opportunity to reflect on.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At first, I enthusiastically tried to articulate points of connection. For example, I would say, there is this <strong>relentless search for the great classic</strong>, the universal novel capable of enduring beyond time, just like that iconic handbag that survives the rapid succession of trends; and then there is style, which (I discovered through studying) is a concept shared by both worlds and derives from the Latin word <em><strong>stylus</strong></em>, the pointed object used in antiquity to write on wax or clay tablets. Today, both in literature and in fashion, style is that thing which leaves a mark, which is <strong>not easily forgotten</strong> after reading a story or after meeting someone who is not only well dressed, but who stands out in a uniquely personal way.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, there is the question of the <strong>plot</strong>: the plot of a book, the <strong>weave</strong> of a fabric. This point has often given me the perfect opening to say that, after all, both fashion and literature are ecosystems <strong>driven by the desire to tell stories</strong>. They do so by intertwining elements that signify themselves but also something beyond themselves, and in part, even without directly intending to, they always have <strong>something to say about the society and context that produced them</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And yet, although these observations are received with interest by my interlocutors, they are not enough to answer their questions, because on their own they fail to dismantle the prejudice, alive on both sides, that fashion belongs to the realm of <strong>frivolity</strong> while literature belongs to that of <strong>knowledge</strong>, often perceived as difficult and dusty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, during an afternoon of <em>doomscrolling</em>, I came across a post commenting on what the author considered the <strong>paradoxical</strong> choice of using <strong>Simone de Beauvoir&#8217;s image</strong> for an event related to the fashion industry. There is even an interview, the social media user pointed out, in which the French philosopher supposedly said that fashion was literally the last thing on her mind.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That made me smile.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1295c264-14f2-43c4-9666-aaa3d321d98f_2280x2848.avif&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ad5f6df-1e4e-420e-a9ca-f3adf0760b15_2280x2850.avif&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Observer picture archive: \&quot;My clothes and I\&quot;, by Simone de Beauvoir, 20 March 1960&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6eb86056-a699-4ad5-8add-c60aaf5ab13f_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It was obvious that the person who had written those remarks had not read the entire interview, published in <em>The Observer</em> under the title <em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2019/mar/17/observer-archive-my-clothes-and-i-by-simone-de-beauvoir-20-march-1960">My Clothes and I</a></em><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2019/mar/17/observer-archive-my-clothes-and-i-by-simone-de-beauvoir-20-march-1960"> </a>and now easily accessible online.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I had first discovered the article thanks to <strong>Maria Luisa Frisa</strong>, during a fascinating conversation precisely about the renewed connection between fashion and literature. The piece was written by <strong>Cynthia Judah</strong>, a journalist who, together with <strong>photographer Jack Nisberg</strong>, visited Beauvoir&#8217;s home in <strong>1960</strong> to peek into her wardrobe and talk about clothes. It is true that right at the beginning of the conversation the intellectual gives a somewhat disconcerting answer: <em>&#171;I must tell you that I am not at all interested in clothes. I have so many other things to think about, so many other interests that they are not at all on my mind.&#187;</em> But these are only the opening lines of the interview. Paragraph after paragraph, in what becomes a long report from the writer&#8217;s home, we are introduced to her favorite garments, little coats, furs, dressing gowns, hats, each accompanied by its own story. Alongside the description of each object, Beauvoir delights in recounting the <strong>shopping trips</strong> that led to their purchase during her travels around the world, from Madrid to Moscow, from China to New York.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On that occasion, the philosopher confesses to the journalist that as a child she did not particularly care about clothes, which she instead associated with her parents and their overly bourgeois, conventional lifestyle. However, once she began teaching at the Sorbonne, she started to play with fashion, at first <strong>to help herself step into the role of a professor</strong> - fashion therefore as disguise, as the construction of a social role - and <strong>later to express herself</strong>, to the point that by her second year of teaching some female students had even started copying her.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9b3ff53c-3f50-495d-a3d1-2d1b9a138e89_3800x3798.avif&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/avif&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/53e1ba35-46e6-4810-ae9a-4f7ba4b23ad2_3800x3062.avif&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Observer picture archive: \&quot;My clothes and I\&quot;, by Simone de Beauvoir, 20 March 1960&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1eddf7c3-42d2-42f6-b0e3-f6da2e00f43f_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I challenge anyone to read this interview without sensing all the joy and amusement the woman feels while <strong>talking about her clothes</strong>, pulling out the details of where each garment came from. As when, for example, she recounts a trip to New York and the hours she spent shopping there: <em>&#171;I had a lovely time: I bought a white coat, beautifully made - I still wear it - and a fur coat. I don&#8217;t know what sort it was but it was all fluffy.&#187;</em> Not to mention her exotic phase, when she developed a passion for silk blouses and dressing gowns. <strong>Purchases she could afford precisely thanks to her writing</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By the end of the conversation with the English journalist, it seems Beauvoir has let her guard down. Swept along by the power of stories, the adventures that had led to the acquisition of her personal &#8220;treasures&#8221;, the resistance that had prompted her at the beginning to declare herself completely uninterested in fashion begins to dissolve.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the beginning, it was <strong>artists</strong> - writers, philosophers, aesthetes - who dictated the rules of style, priests of aesthetic meaning whom people regarded with fascination, admiration, and sometimes amusement. Then <strong>counterculture</strong> arrived. Around the middle of the twentieth century, a fracture emerged between fashion and literature, one that still survives today in the form of a stereotype: on the one hand, the <strong>glossy surface</strong> of the fashion world; on the other, intellectual commitment supposedly detached, even if only apparently, from matters of style and trends. In 1960 Simone de Beauvoir was one of the most prominent engag&#233; intellectuals on the international scene, and it seems to me that her first answer in the interview was above all a perfunctory response. Or perhaps, and this is also likely, by fashion she meant &#8220;<em><strong>trend</strong></em>,&#8221; and in trends she saw <strong>conformity</strong>, she who had used clothes to tell the story of herself, her rigor, the refinement of her gaze.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is certain is that more than sixty years after those declarations, something is changing, and to me it seems above all a matter of possibility: on one side, for literature, which thanks to fashion <strong>is able to expand its readership</strong>, gaining global visibility in contexts that are sometimes unexpected and that it would have struggled to reach on its own; on the other, for fashion, which thanks to literature emerges <strong>strengthened in its power to tell stories</strong>, adding further meanings to the galaxy of symbols of which it has always been composed.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

<strong>Ottavia Piccolo</strong> for the press opening of the <strong>61st Venice Art Biennale</strong>. Authentic words, free of any respectability, not chosen by chance to underline how love, in a higher sense, and respect for cultural traditions are fundamental for the <strong>survival of an institution</strong>. Especially in times like these, in which<strong> the inversion of values</strong> and of the perception of the world order is rewriting geopolitical balances.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I listen to them on my way back from the Lagoon: two days are not enough, but certainly necessary to frame the event and understand what remains for the public beyond the exclusive clamour of the inauguration. In order: a <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/45144/venice-biennale-russia-israel-controversy-rules-2026">popular prize</a></strong> established in place of the one that should have been awarded by the resigned jury; a <strong>Russian pavilion</strong> open, but closed to visitors; the <strong>Israeli and American pavilions</strong> deserted by the public; the promise of the opening of the <strong>Iranian</strong> one, but not for the entire duration of the exhibition.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And yet, of the references to Ezra Pound&#8217;s <em><strong>Canti Pisani</strong></em> at the Piccolo Arsenale Theatre, little more remains than an ANSA news flash. After all, putting order in the syncopated flow of occupations, strikes and protests is not simple. Especially when what is happening takes on an exceptional character: it was in fact since <strong>1968</strong> that <strong>the very architecture of the Biennale had not been so openly questioned</strong>, already accused then of elitism and profit orientation, and criticized for its hierarchical award mechanisms.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">That <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/45277/venice-art-biennale-2026-pussy-riot-russia-protests">Pussy Riot</a> occupied the Giardini, that marches and performances crossed the alleys around the Arsenale and Via Garibaldi, and that the doors of the pavilions remained closed during <strong>the first workers&#8217; strike in the history of the event</strong>, are concrete facts that, almost sixty years later, confirm a partially crystallized situation. They reveal a collective malaise not reducible to a simple clash of egos &#8212; to quote Ezra Pound again. The question is inevitable: is it time <strong>to rethink the participatory model of the Biennale?</strong></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2c189b09-c8b3-475e-94a3-a3c56ee1030c_4032x3024.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9ba3b627-83e3-45fb-94c7-1ef6bc5b8a0d_4032x3024.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Qatar Pavillon by Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija; Garden of the Broken Hearted by Theo Esthetu&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/db4371ad-3121-48aa-ae30-d9a6c6799654_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, the Chinese artist <strong>Yang Yexin </strong>scatters part of his thousand gold grains among the flowerbeds of the Giardini, inviting the public to ask whether one comes to Venice &#171;for art or for gold&#187;, over seventy artists declare they <strong>do not recognize the legitimacy of the Golden Lion</strong> awarded by the public. A significant fracture, not so much because I too, as an entitled voter, voted, but for a question of coherence with what art should be: a space capable of <strong>questioning the status quo</strong>, stimulating critical thought and <strong>fostering empathy</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#171;Approximately one hundred countries participate today in the Biennale, in compliance with national and international law&#187;</em>, the president <strong>Pietrangelo Buttafuoco</strong> reminded the more than 4000 professionals involved. Denying this would place the institution on the same level as those countries that are repeatedly violating it. And we all agree that it is not true that &#8220;<em>international law applies, but only up to a certain point</em>&#8221;, right?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>&#171;The Biennale is not a tribunal&#187;</strong></em>, he added: <em>&#171;It is, since 1895, the year of its foundation, a place where one exhibits, discusses, listens&#187;.</em> Words difficult to separate from the images of Gaza and from the stories of child abuse in prisons collected by Save the Children.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But we are children of the Enlightenment and cannot renounce <strong>a posture of coherence</strong>.<em> &#171;I am surprised that the world born from the French Revolution, from secularism and from the will to build a complete democracy, has turned into its opposite: a laboratory of intolerance, censorship and exclusion&#187;.</em> It is legitimate to ask: <em>&#171;<strong>how did we end up discussing who should be there and who should not</strong>, who represents what and what guilt they carry, while real wars and tragedies are ongoing? With civilians dying more than in a past in which we believed we had closed the chapter on abomination. We do not want to admit it, but there are communities that have reinstated the death penalty&#187;</em>, again words that speak of violence, genocide, Gaza.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e30d7479-f671-45f2-b087-1ea247eefecd_2713x3391.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e1089a5d-72ef-4f55-9a0c-de04474efcef_4032x3024.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Giardino Corte Nova; The Man Who Threw Away Golden Rice by artist Yang Yexin&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0a5dd2ea-8543-4149-ad0e-44afccf83085_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Of the 29 national participations in the Giardini, 25 at the Arsenale, 46 in the historic centre, 7 are new, each with its own story guaranteed by the aforementioned right: the hereditary absolute monarchy of <strong>Qatar</strong>, which entrusted the project for the temporary pavilion to the <strong>Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija</strong>; the <strong>Republic of Guinea and Equatorial Guinea</strong>, defined by international observers respectively as a hybrid regime (or in transition) and, the second, formally presidential but in reality a dominant-party regime; the <strong>Republic of Nauru</strong>, in the central Pacific Ocean, one of the smallest countries in the world; the fragile Federal Republic of <strong>Somalia</strong>; and the presidential Republic of <strong>El Salvador</strong>. <em>&#171;Let us not dwell on affiliations&#187;</em>, insists Buttafuoco. <em><strong>&#171;Let us not lose sight of the Moon&#187;.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Biennale, despite its inevitably asymmetrical structure, still tries<strong> to represent the world as it is</strong>: fragmented, conflictual, marked by a global war that knocks on everyone&#8217;s daily life. <em>&#171;Closing the door to someone makes it harder to open it for others. If the Biennale were to start selecting not artworks but affiliations, not visions but passports, it would cease to be the place where the world meets&#187;.</em> It is an uncomfortable position, but a central one: complexity is not governed by polarizing the debate, but by taking responsibility for the tensions that question the present.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But let us turn to <em><strong>In Minor Keys</strong></em>, the project of the late <strong>Koyo Kouoh</strong>. The exhibition does not simplify: it stratifies. The collective work of the curatorial team has built an ecosystem of spaces, relationships and different sensibilities that <strong>transform the Biennale into a place of crossing rather than representation</strong>. An archipelago of oases, courtyards and residences, but also &#8220;houses&#8221;, inside and outside the institution: from <em><strong>Kunsthaus Paradiso</strong></em>, the house within the house curated by <strong>Caroline Corbetta</strong> at Palazzo Molin Querini, to the expanded and collective domestic space of <strong>Chiara Camoni</strong> at the Italian Pavilion, up to the dystopian dimension of <strong>Florentina Holzinger</strong>, who metaphorically drowns Austria and its artists in <strong>vats of bodily fluids</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also significant is the work of <strong>Walid Raad</strong>, built over more than thirty years: <em><strong>Far from quieting</strong></em> is a sequence of trompe-l&#8217;&#339;il paintings and drawings illustrating the shelters of Yasser Arafat. <em>&#171;It is said that the PLO leader never slept in the same bed for two nights in a row. Having survived more than forty assassination attempts, he could not afford to lower his guard&#187;,</em> and so he lived &#8212; and slept &#8212; always in motion. In this horizon, <strong>the home becomes an unstable place</strong>, a shifting space, a human condition rather than an architecture.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8367e087-56b0-4192-8137-da3dd4259ae0_4032x3024.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8eff48db-947e-4faf-bbba-fcc25913b291_4032x3024.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Far From Quieting by Walid Raad; Buhlebezwe Siwani&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/876f118d-387e-4e5d-a678-3b21924a9319_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This is why the 110 invited artists do not claim the <strong>still-open fractures</strong> between the Global North and South, highlighted also by <strong>the aesthetic codes of the pavilions</strong>, but inhabit them with lucid awareness: the works on display observe, record, and return in relation to the public. The installation by <strong>Wolff Architects</strong> is <strong>a lateral art</strong>, far from traditional centres of legitimization, which precisely in the gap, in what until now has not been loved (re-quoting Pound), finds its strength.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At the entrance of the Giardini and the Arsenale, the installation <em>Soft Offerings to Silenced Voices and to All Who Have Turned to Dust</em> by <strong>Otobong Nkangale</strong> and the verses from <em>If I Must Die</em>, the collection of poems written by <strong>Refaat al-Areer</strong>, killed in Gaza in December 2023 during an Israeli bombing, are introductory <strong>works functioning as perceptual thresholds</strong>. The visitor is warned: what follows requires <strong>time, attention, permanence</strong>.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bfca8785-a325-41c2-ab6b-ed0dd60c2d3b_4032x3024.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8f36c047-a30e-437c-8402-1a823ded3d43_4032x3024.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Houses Of Memory by Mohammed Joha&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8009c0b7-ab70-4fac-99e7-d4d9c83b2632_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Forward, let us enter. In the Central Pavilion, regenerated by Labics, the clay sculptures of <strong>Seyni Awa Camara</strong> seem to emerge from a world suspended between semi-consciousness and wakefulness: a ritual gathering that precedes the interspecies communication staged by the Peruvian artist and activist <strong>C&#233;lia V&#224;squez Yui</strong>. Her <em>The Council of the Mother spirit of the Animals</em> is an imaginative parliament of zoomorphic sculptures whose history draws on <strong>a spiritual conception of ecology</strong>, according to which each species has a mother spirit. Nearby, <strong>Mar&#237;a Magdalena Campos-Pons</strong> in <em>Anatomy of the Magnolia Tree for Koyo Kouoh and Toni Morrison</em> portrays respectively the first African woman curator of the Art Biennale and the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and focuses on the frequency of storytelling, while <strong>Buhlebezwe Siwani</strong> interrogates colonialism, history and the representation of the <strong>Black female body</strong>. The curatorial gesture is clear: it no longer aims only to show, but to involve.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also central in the development of the narrative at the Arsenale is the choice to alternate <strong>fragrances, sounds and immersive devices</strong>. The practices of <strong>Daniel Lind-Ramos</strong> and <strong>Guadalupe Maravilla</strong>, for example, both work on trauma and collective memory: the former through assemblages of recovered materials linked to Caribbean history, the latter transforming his own <strong>biographical and clinical experience</strong> into a <strong>sonic ritual</strong>. <em>Garden of the Broken Hearted</em> by <strong>Theo Eshetu</strong> instead stages an olive tree traversed by projections that dematerialize it, bringing the gaze back to <strong>the violence we consume daily on screens</strong>. Next to it, <strong>Khaled Sabsabi</strong> builds a contemplative space inspired by <strong>Islamic mystical tradition</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">From Lebanon to Marseille: <strong>Mohammed Joha</strong>, inspired by the practices of the Gazan brothers trapped in <strong>cycles of endless destruction and reconstruction</strong>, overlays scrap materials that he transforms into canvas works. The series <em>No Shelter</em> was born while on his TV screen the images of the near-total annihilation of Gaza were playing: the <strong>layers of collage</strong> he composes release an emotional charge that moves. It is called empathy, a word in some sense exhausted for us Westerners, and of which we desperately need. To save the world from ourselves and for others. On the ground, posters of protest, some still legible, others trampled and violated as if they were bodies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But the system, despite everything, remains open: a work that does not seek synthesis, but <strong>welcomes all points of view</strong>. To shake, to listen, and then, hopefully, to act again.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

da <strong>Ottavia Piccolo</strong> per l&#8217;apertura alla stampa della <strong>61&#170; Biennale d&#8217;Arte di Venezia</strong>. Parole autentiche, scevre di ogni perbenismo, scelte non a caso per sottolineare quanto l&#8217;amore, in senso alto, e il rispetto delle tradizioni culturali siano fondamentali per la <strong>sopravvivenza di un&#8217;istituzione</strong>. Soprattutto in tempi come questi, in cui <strong>l&#8217;inversione valoriale</strong> e della percezione dell&#8217;ordine mondiale sta riscrivendo gli equilibri geopolitici.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Le ascolto di ritorno dalla Laguna: due giorni non sono sufficienti, ma sicuramente necessari per inquadrare l&#8217;evento e capire cosa resta al pubblico oltre il clamore esclusivo dell&#8217;inaugurazione. Nell&#8217;ordine: un <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/lifestyle/45144/biennale-venezia-russia-israele-polemiche-regole-2026">premio popolare</a></strong> istituito in sostituzione di quello che avrebbe dovuto assegnare la giuria dimissionaria; un <strong>padiglione russo</strong> aperto, ma chiuso ai visitatori; i <strong>padiglioni israeliano e americano</strong> disertati dal pubblico; la promessa dell&#8217;apertura di quello <strong>iraniano</strong>, ma non per tutta la durata della kermesse.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Eppure, dei riferimenti ai <em><strong>Canti Pisani</strong></em> di Ezra Pound al Teatro Piccolo Arsenale &#232; rimasto poco pi&#249; di un lancio Ansa. Del resto, mettere ordine nel flusso sincopato di occupazioni, scioperi e proteste, non &#232; semplice. Soprattutto quando ci&#242; che accade assume un carattere eccezionale: era infatti dal <strong>1968</strong> che non veniva <strong>rimessa cos&#236; apertamente in discussione l&#8217;architettura</strong> <strong>stessa della Biennale</strong>, accusata gi&#224; allora di elitismo e orientamento al profitto, e criticata per i meccanismi premiali a struttura gerarchica.<br><br>Che le <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/lifestyle/45277/biennale-arte-2026-pussy-riot-proteste-russia-venezia">Pussy Riot</a> abbiano occupato i Giardini, che cortei e performance abbiano attraversato le calli attorno all&#8217;Arsenale e Via Garibaldi, e che le porte dei padiglioni siano rimaste chiuse durante il <strong>primo sciopero dei lavoratori nella storia dell&#8217;evento</strong>, sono fatti concreti che, a quasi sessant&#8217;anni di distanza, confermano una situazione in parte cristallizzata. Restituiscono un malessere collettivo non riducibile a semplice schermaglia tra ego &#8212; per riprendere ancora Ezra Pound. La domanda &#232; inevitabile: &#232; il momento di <strong>ripensare il modello partecipativo della Biennale?</strong></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/873c4e93-1488-4b49-9132-a1c0d3c41819_4032x3024.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9c5e81b6-1ff9-40b6-a629-a98e06a91e07_4032x3024.png&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Qatar Pavillon by Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija; Garden of the Broken Hearted by Theo Esthetu&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/74d51818-77c5-4391-9413-f7f80f6d7c70_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Mentre l&#8217;artista cinese <strong>Yang Yexin</strong> dissemina parte dei suoi mille chicchi d&#8217;oro tra le aiuole dei Giardini, invitando il pubblico a chiedersi se si venga a Venezia <em>&#171;per l&#8217;arte o per l&#8217;oro&#187;</em>, oltre settanta artisti dichiarano di <strong>non riconoscere legittimo il Leone d&#8217;Oro assegnato dal pubblico</strong>. Una frattura significativa, non tanto perch&#233; anch&#8217;io, da avente diritto, ho votato, ma per una questione di coerenza rispetto a ci&#242; che l&#8217;arte dovrebbe essere: uno spazio capace di <strong>mettere in crisi lo status quo</strong>, stimolare il pensiero critico e <strong>favorire l&#8217;empatia</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#171;Sono circa cento i Paesi che partecipano oggi alla Biennale, nel rispetto del diritto nazionale e internazionale&#187;</em>,  ha ricordato il presidente <strong>Pietrangelo Buttafuoco</strong> agli oltre 4000 addetti ai lavori.

Parole difficili da separare dalle immagini di Gaza e dalle storie di abusi sui minori in carcere raccolte da Save the Children.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ma siamo pur figli dell&#8217;Illuminismo e non possiamo rinunciare a <strong>una postura di coerenza</strong>. <em>&#171;Mi meraviglia che il mondo nato dalla Rivoluzione francese, dal laicismo e dalla volont&#224; di costruire una democrazia compiuta, si sia capovolto nel suo contrario: un laboratorio di intolleranza, di censura e di esclusione&#187;</em>. &#200; lecito chiedersi: <em>&#171;<strong>come siamo finiti a discutere di chi deve esserci e chi no</strong>, di chi rappresenta cosa e di quale colpa porti con s&#233;, mentre sono in corso guerre e tragedie reali? Con civili che muoiono pi&#249; che in un passato in cui credevamo di aver chiuso con l&#8217;abominio.

Se la Biennale iniziasse a selezionare non le opere ma le appartenenze, non le visioni ma i passaporti, smetterebbe di essere il luogo dove il mondo si incontra&#187;</em>. &#200; una posizione scomoda, ma centrale: la complessit&#224; non si governa polarizzando il dibattito, bens&#236; facendosi carico delle tensioni che <strong>interrogano</strong> il presente.<br><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ma veniamo a <em><strong>In Minor Keys</strong></em>, il progetto della compianta <strong>Koyo Kouoh</strong>. La mostra non semplifica: stratifica. Il lavoro corale del team curatoriale ha costruito un ecosistema di spazi, relazioni e sensibilit&#224; differenti che <strong>trasformano la Biennale in un luogo di attraversamento</strong> pi&#249; che di rappresentazione. Un arcipelago di oasi, cortili e residenze, ma anche &#8216;case&#8217;, dentro e fuori l&#8217;istituzione: da<em> <strong>Kunsthaus Paradiso</strong></em>, la casa nella casa curata da <strong>Caroline Corbetta</strong> a Palazzo Molin Querini, allo spazio domestico espanso e collettivo di <strong>Chiara Camoni</strong> al Padiglione Italia, sino alla dimensione distopica di <strong>Florentina Holzinger</strong> che annega metaforicamente l&#8217;Austria e i suoi artisti in <strong>vasche di fluidi corporei</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Significativa anche l&#8217;opera di <strong>Walid Raad</strong>, costruita in oltre trent&#8217;anni: <em><strong>Far from quieting</strong></em> &#232; una sequenza di dipinti e disegni in stile trompe-l&#8216;oeil che illustrano i rifugi di Yasser Arafat. <em>&#171;Si dice che il leader dell&#8217;OLP non abbia mai dormito nello stesso letto per due notti di fila.

Quella allestita da <strong>Wolff Architects</strong> &#232; <strong>un&#8217;arte laterale</strong>, lontana dai tradizionali centri di legittimazione, che proprio nello scarto, in ci&#242; che sino a ora non &#232; stato amato (ri-citando Pound) trova la propria forza. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">All&#8217;ingresso dei Giardini e dell&#8217;Arsenale, l&#8217;installazione <em>Soft Offerings to Silenced Voices and to All Who Have Turned to Dust&#8217; </em>di <strong>Otobong Nkangale</strong> e i versi tratti da <em>If I Must Die</em>, la raccolta di poesie scritte da <strong>Refaat al-Areer,</strong> ucciso a Gaza nel dicembre 2023 durante un bombardamento israeliano, sono opere introduttive che funzionano come <strong>soglie percettive</strong>.

Nel Padiglione Centrale, rigenerato da Labics, le sculture in argilla di <strong>Seyni Awa Camara</strong> sembrano emergere da un mondo sospeso tra semi-incoscienza e stato di veglia: un raduno rituale che prelude la comunicazione interspecie messa in scena dall&#8217;artista e attivista peruviana <strong>C&#233;lia V&#224;squez Yui</strong>. Il suo <em>The Council of the Mother spirit of the Animals</em> &#232; un immaginifico parlamento di sculture zoomorfe la cui storia attinge a una <strong>concezione spirituale dell&#8217;ecologia</strong>, secondo la quale ogni specie &#232; dotata di uno spirito madre. Poco oltre, <strong>Mar&#237;a Magdalena Campos-Pons </strong>in <em>Anatomy of the Magnolia Tree for Koyo Kouoh and Toni Morrison</em> ritrae<strong> </strong>rispettivamente le prima donna africana a curare la Biennale d&#8217;Arte e la prima donna nera a vincere il Nobel per la letteratura, e mette a fuoco la frequenza del racconto, mentre <strong>Buhlebezwe Siwani</strong> interroga <strong>colonialismo</strong>, storia e rappresentazione del <strong>corpo nero femminile</strong>. Il gesto curatoriale &#232; chiaro: non punta pi&#249; soltanto a mostrare, ma a coinvolgere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Centrale anche nello sviluppo della narrazione all&#8217;Arsenale la scelta di alternare <strong>fragranze, suoni e dispositivi immersivi</strong>. Le pratiche di<strong> Daniel Lind-Ramos</strong> e <strong>Guadalupe Maravilla</strong>, per esempio, lavorano entrambe su trauma e memoria collettiva: il primo attraverso assemblaggi di recupero legati alla storia caraibica, il secondo trasformando la propria esperienza biografica e clinica in rituale sonoro. <em>Garden of the Broken Hearted</em> di <strong>Theo Eshetu </strong>mette invece in scena un ulivo attraversato da proiezioni che lo smaterializzano, riportando lo sguardo sulla <strong>violenza</strong> che consumiamo ogni giorno sugli <strong>schermi</strong>. Accanto, <strong>Khaled Sabsabi</strong> costruisce uno spazio contemplativo ispirato alla<strong> tradizione mistica islamica</strong>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dal Libano a Marsiglia: <strong>Mohammed Joha,</strong> ispirato dalle pratiche dei fratelli gazawi intrappolati in <strong>cicli incessanti di distruzione e ricostruzione</strong>, sovrappone materiali di scarto che trasforma in opere su tela. La serie <em>No Shelter</em> nasce mentre sullo schermo della sua TV passavano le immagini dell&#8217;annientamento quasi totale di Gaza: gli <strong>strati di collage</strong> che compone sprigionano una carica emotiva che commuove. Si chiama <strong>empatia</strong>, parola per certi versi e per noi occidentali esausta, e di cui abbiamo un disperato bisogno. Per salvare il mondo da noi stessi e per gli altri. A terra manifesti di denuncia, alcuni ancora leggibili, altri calpestati e violati come fossero corpi. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ma il sistema, nonostante tutto, resta aperto: un&#8217;opera che non cerca sintesi, ma <strong>accoglie tutti i punti di vista</strong>. Per scuotere, ascoltare, e poi, si spera, tornare ad agire.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

Nemmeno s&#8217;erano conclusi i clamori del Met Gala che gi&#224; &#232; iniziato <strong>il Festival di Cannes</strong>, il cui red carpet per&#242;<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/45334/red-carpet-cannes-lusso-lifestyle-esperienze-2025"> ha perso qualcosa del suo valore agli occhi dei brand negli ultimi tempi</a>.

Nel frattempo, nei negozi di tutto il mondo, &#232; arrivata anche<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/45353/swatch-audemars-piguet-orologio-tasca-bag-charm-bioceramic-royal-pop"> la nuova collaborazione di </a><strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/45353/swatch-audemars-piguet-orologio-tasca-bag-charm-bioceramic-royal-pop">Audemars Piguet e Swatch</a></strong> che ha sorpreso tutti ma non noi, perch&#233; sappiamo quanto forte vadano i bag charms di questi tempi.

magazine, delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The second week of May seems like any other, but it isn&#8217;t. The Met Gala buzz had barely died down before <strong>the Cannes Film Festival</strong> kicked off, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45334/why-luxury-brands-are-moving-beyond-red-carpet-cannes-lifestyle">though its red carpet has lost some of its appeal in the eyes of brands lately</a>. The really important things for fashion, however, happened in America: <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45377/dior-cruise-2027-jonathan-anderson-review">Dior&#8217;s Cruise 2027 show </a></strong>in Los Angeles and, in New York,<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45260/lvmh-sells-marc-jacobs-to-whp-global"> the sale of Marc Jacobs to WHP Global</a>, which is actually not bad news. In the meantime, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45353/swatch-audemars-piguet-bioceramic-royal-pop-pocket-watch-bag-charm">the new Audemars Piguet x Swatch collaboratio</a>n has arrived in stores worldwide. It surprised everyone, but not us. We know how strong bag charms are doing right now. And the week isn&#8217;t over yet: tonight in New York, <strong>Gucci</strong> will present the second show of the Demna era. Better hold on tight.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;You heard it from nssmag.com first...&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com"><span>You heard it from nssmag.com first...</span></a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" width="1456" height="156" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:156,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>In a generally tired market, <strong>Coach continues to grow and thrive</strong>.

the bag&#8217;s exclusivity. Initially available only in the United States, but now <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45113/fuorisalone-fashion-luxury-merch-accessible-design-week">resold</a> for hundreds of dollars on platforms such as the American <strong><a href="https://www.ebay.it/itm/358278104133?var=0&amp;mkevt=1&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=724-53478-19255-0&amp;campid=5338727104&amp;toolid=20006&amp;_ul=IT&amp;customid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4Wo-2ecIDUWI6I_zTXmplZ2Zj2g2NW15-Dp-pNOEGbCLFCxghbFhuqORoCn84QAvD_BwE|0AAAAADihhqVD4RLlYNXmwg2GOltFGHatI|CkEKCQjwn4vQBhDfARIwAJv-4v_takpqHBkQbnvKOm2Ao_v6DT3n2WQNaewcj6_exWboLpbOZh6RxgLyfqCnGgJ0Xw&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4Wo-2ecIDUWI6I_zTXmplZ2Zj2g2NW15-Dp-pNOEGbCLFCxghbFhuqORoCn84QAvD_BwE&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADihhqVD4RLlYNXmwg2GOltFGHatI&amp;wbraid=CkEKCQjwn4vQBhDfARIwAJv-4v_takpqHBkQbnvKOm2Ao_v6DT3n2WQNaewcj6_exWboLpbOZh6RxgLyfqCnGgJ0Xw&amp;loc_interest_ms=&amp;loc_physical_ms=9197879&amp;adtype=pla&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22857159299&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADihhqVD4RLlYNXmwg2GOltFGHatI">eBay</a></strong>, the Japanese <strong>Mercari</strong>, or the Lithuanian <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/search/vinted">Vinted</a></strong>, the bag has reached international status. Looking at it closely, it appears to be nothing more than a simple canvas grocery tote with thick handles that make it seem quite durable; not even its defining color schemes - such as navy blue paired with a red logo, or the <strong>pastel variations</strong> of the mini totes the chain has more recently produced (already <strong>sold out</strong>) - make it such a desirable object. And yet, people spend hundreds of dollars to obtain it from overseas.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lyst explains the phenomenon behind the huge price gap between items in its latest ranking in a rather simple way - just two places above the Trader Joe&#8217;s tote bag is the <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/44675/chanel-mania-2026-queues-stores-matthieu-blazy-fw26">Chanel</a> Maxi Flap Bag</strong>, priced at $8,500. <em>&#171;This continued decoupling of status from price reflects a broader shift in how consumers assign cultural value to fashion. What unites the quarter&#8217;s hottest products isn&#8217;t a look, it&#8217;s <strong>a moment, a community, or a story</strong>.&#187;</em> Indeed, a short walk through central <strong>London</strong> is enough to understand that the Trader Joe&#8217;s tote bag epidemic is not just <strong>a Gen Z and Millennial</strong> obsession with <strong>accessible fashion</strong>, but something more. But is it really possible that <strong>cultural value</strong> carries so much weight?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png" width="1080" height="301" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:301,&quot;width&quot;:1080,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:14719,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssmag.com/i/197506383?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!s7Bh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc4b81616-ea2d-4750-8fc6-5267f904016c_1080x301.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It was the 1980s when <strong>The Strand</strong>, a historic independent bookstore in <strong>New York</strong>, launched a custom tote bag. Easily recognisable thanks to its large logo print, it soon became a <strong>status item</strong> among New Yorkers - first among Manhattan residents, then across the entire city, thanks also to new store openings in different neighborhoods of the Big Apple. Although the item represented a <strong>sustainable and practical alternative</strong> to less elegant plastic bags, the real success of the tote bag lay in the <strong>cultural meaning</strong> of

bookstores,</em>&#187; as described by the <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/17/nyregion/want-to-work-in-18-miles-of-books-first-the-quiz.html">The New York Times</a></em> in 2016) does not only signal a passion for niche literature, but also <strong>support for</strong> <strong>self-funded businesses</strong>, free from the commercial pressures of large publishing groups or investment funds. If the main priority of an independent bookstore is, at least on paper, the promotion of intellectual culture, its merchandise <strong>transfers that moral value onto the wearer</strong>: carrying a tote bag from such a store is, in this sense, a statement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is why, when in 2020 The Strand laid off most of its staff despite receiving a state loan and later <a href="https://thebaffler.com/capital-offenses/hanging-by-a-strand-oconnor">invested over $200,000 in Amazon stock</a>, many New Yorkers expressed disappointment toward the bookstore. By that point, the <a href="https://www.businessresearchinsights.com/market-reports/tote-bags-market-103886">tote bag market</a> was about to explode, a trend driven both by growing consumer <strong>interest in sustainable lifestyles</strong> and by post-COVID <em><strong>revenge spending</strong></em>. More shopping called for more shopping bags: quite an ironic paradox between unchecked consumerism and conscious practice.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

James Joyce), featuring the store&#8217;s fa&#231;ade in blue, have given rise to a <strong>counterfeit market</strong>; the same has happened with <strong>Daunt Books</strong>, an independent London

investment of savings, or an invitation to an exclusive fashion show, <strong>the tote bag must be earned</strong>. And perhaps this is exactly what increases its value: it is not an object recognizable to everyone, but to a restricted group of people who have taken part in a movement - be it <strong>political, aesthetic, or moral</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the case of The Strand, wearing the tote bag signals support for independent literary activity; in the case of Trader Joe&#8217;s, it shows that one has shopped at one of the most famous organic supermarkets in the world (in one of the least &#8220;organic&#8221; countries in the world). <em>&#171;Health is wealth,&#187; </em>as English speakers would say, and said &#171;wealth&#187; is able to grow even more when, alongside health, a hefty price tag is added.</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d39d6dcb-7f19-48ed-a1ba-e078c3ff893e_1080x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c224904f-4d65-41e0-b0d2-cce88ed714b0_1440x1799.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Saint Laurent's Nirvana tee, Bottega Veneta's The Strand tote bag&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d8a298c7-c743-47a7-9b87-c97cbc30f4d4_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://monocle.com/culture/souvenir-totes-bags-are-taking-over-retail/">Monocle</a> describes tote bags as <em><strong>&#171;the concert T-shirts of our era&#187;</strong></em>: some wear them out of belief, others to pose, some by accident, others to show off their wealth. Considering that just three years ago Saint Laurent was selling <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/33835/band-tee-vintage-saint-laurent-rive-droite">Nirvana T-shirts for $4,500</a></strong> while Bottega Veneta was <em>&#171;paying homage&#187;</em> to The Strand with a <strong>leather replica of the famous tote bag</strong>, it seems that every street-born trend is

Saturday morning.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>first week of May</strong> is usually one for the books in the fashion world, largely because the <strong>Met Gala</strong> takes place on the first Monday of the month. This year&#8217;s theme, &#8220;<em><strong>Fashion is Art</strong></em>,&#8221; pointed toward a broader shift we&#8217;ve been quietly witnessing for some time now: fashion&#8217;s growing obsession with the art world. And there could hardly have been a more fitting moment to underline this new romance between the two industries than the <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45251/biennale-arte-2026-controversy-jury-resignation-visitors-lions">opening week of the Venice Biennale</a></strong>. The real question, though, is whether fashion genuinely cares about art or if it is simply the latest cultural territory to be <strong>absorbed, exploited, and eventually abandoned</strong>, much like cinema and hospitality before it.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;You heard it from nssmag.com first...&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com"><span>You heard it from nssmag.com first...</span></a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" width="1456" height="156" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:156,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>This was the most political <strong>Met Gala</strong> yet: here are <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45241/met-gala-2026-iconic-looks-controversy-celebrities">5 looks we will remembe</a></strong>r, for better or for worse. </p></li><li><p>Don&#8217;t know <strong>what to read</strong>?

mattina.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La <strong>prima settimana di maggio</strong> &#232; sempre una di quelle da segnare sul calendario del sistema moda, soprattutto perch&#233; il <strong>Met Gala</strong> si tiene ogni anno il primo luned&#236; del mese. Il tema scelto per questa edizione, <em><strong>&#8220;Fashion is Art&#8221;,</strong></em> sembrava indicare qualcosa di pi&#249; grande, una tendenza che osserviamo ormai da tempo quasi in silenzio: la crescente ossessione della moda per il mondo dell&#8217;arte. E difficilmente ci sarebbe potuto essere un momento pi&#249; adatto della <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/45251/biennale-arte-2026-polemiche-dimissioni-giuria-leoni-visitatori">settimana di apertura della Biennale di Venezia</a></strong> per sottolineare questa nuova relazione tra le due industrie. La vera domanda, per&#242;, &#232; se la moda tenga davvero all&#8217;arte o se si tratti semplicemente dell&#8217;ennesimo territorio culturale da <strong>assorbire, sfruttare e poi abbandonare</strong>, proprio come &#232; gi&#224; successo con il cinema e l&#8217;hospitality.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;You heard it from nssmag.com first...&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=nssmag.com"><span>You heard it from nssmag.com first...</span></a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" width="1456" height="156" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:156,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>Questo &#232; stato il <strong>Met Gala pi&#249; politico di sempre</strong>: ecco <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/45241/met-gala-2026-look-polemiche-celebrita">5 look che ricorderemo,</a></strong> nel bene e nel male.</p></li><li><p>Non sapete <strong>cosa leggere</strong>?

E lo stesso pu&#242; dirsi della <strong>collezione SS26 di Versace</strong>, oggi ricordata con il pi&#249; pratico soprannome di <strong>&#8220;Versace by Dario Vitale&#8221;</strong>. Quando &#232; stata presentata, con uno show pi&#249; intimo di quanto molti si attendevano, ha inizialmente diviso l&#8217;opinione pubblica. Grandiosa rilettura dell&#8217;immaginario di Gianni Versace o semplice riesumazione degli anni &#8217;80 nei suoi colori pi&#249; scioccanti? &#200; stata <strong>una forte impressione</strong>, che per&#242; ha cambiato d&#8217;un colpo la percezione di Versace, <strong>facendo piazza pulita delle </strong><em><strong>glamazon</strong></em><strong> platinate</strong> e delle mega-sneaker logate divenute sinonimo del brand negli ultimi anni. Ma dopo il primo shock, ne &#232; arrivato un secondo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dopo essere stato nel brand per soli nove mesi, producendo una singola collezione, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44850/la-nuova-collaborazione-tra-onitsuka-tiger-e-versace-e-qui">una collaborazione sneaker</a> e <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44165/versace-e-uno-e-trino-nella-nuova-campagna-ss26">un&#8217;interessante campagna 3-in-1</a>, <strong>Dario Vitale &#232; stato<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43605/dario-vitale-lascia-versace"> licenziato</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43605/dario-vitale-lascia-versace"> dai nuovi/vecchi padroni del Gruppo Prada</a> che nel frattempo<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43567/prada-acquista-versace-closing-2-dicembre-2025-piano-rilancio"> avevano acquisito Versace</a>, ponendo fine alla sua breve stagione nel sole. Adesso, il brand attende l&#8217;avvento di un altro designer non meno magistrale, <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44188/pieter-mulier-direttore-creativo-di-versace">Pieter Mulier</a></strong>, responsabile della rinascita di Ala&#239;a. Nel frattempo, la riconoscibilit&#224; e la fama conquistate da Vitale, oltre che le<strong> centinaia di editoriali e cover </strong>in cui &#232; apparsa la collezione, hanno fatto parlare gli insider del settore di<strong> una &#8220;rivincita&#8221; </strong>del designer vittima delle logiche di mercato.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La collezione si trova insomma in <strong>una posizione molto particolare</strong>: non solo apprezzata dagli insider e altamente riconoscibile, ma anche, data la rapida uscita del direttore creativo,<strong> quasi un&#8217;edizione limitata degna di essere collezionata</strong>. C&#8217;&#232; di pi&#249;: La comunit&#224; della moda ama un <em>underdog </em>e <strong>Dario Vitale &#232; l&#8217;</strong><em><strong>underdog</strong></em><strong> perfetto</strong>: giovane, professionista rispettato ma anche un creativo molto apprezzato a cui &#232; stata negata una possibilit&#224; da un grande gruppo del settore proprio sull&#8217;orlo di un cambiamento che sar&#224;<strong> epocale </strong>per Versace.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Eppure, potremmo arguire, proprio la sua rapida uscita ha in parte creato<strong> un apprezzamento quasi anomalo</strong> per la collezione. Anomalo non per mancanza di meriti, ma per<strong> insolita intensit&#224; ed emotivit&#224;</strong> di cui si &#232; caricato. Da questa vicenda potremmo dunque desumere qualche<strong> lezione pi&#249; ampia </strong>sui direttori creativi e sulla psicologia del pubblico della moda?</p><div

diversa rispetto a come avveniva prima d&#8217;allora</em>&#187;, ci ha detto <strong>Francesco Rudi</strong> di @versaceeventi, la pi&#249; importante fanpage dedicata al brand. Rudi ha paragonato la collezione <strong>al protagonista silenzioso di </strong><em><strong>Teorema</strong></em><strong> di Pasolini</strong> dato che &#171;<em>si &#232; catapultata nella vita abitudinaria e ripetitiva di ognuno di noi e l&#8217;ha stravolta</em>&#187;. Rudi ha proseguito cos&#236; il suo paragone: &#171;<em>In</em> Teorema,<em> l&#8217;ospite della famiglia borghese si presenta in modo inaspettato, e semplicemente esistendo, senza sguardi di troppo o provocazioni di alcun tipo suscita il desiderio sessuale di tutti i membri della famiglia. L&#8217;attrazione che provano nei suoi confronti li porta a sperimentare dei lati di s&#233; mai provati prima</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Proprio come l&#8217;ospite misterioso di <em>Teorema</em>, <strong>Dario Vitale &#232; sparito relativamente in fretta</strong> portando la nuova audience del brand prima a sviluppare una vera ossessione per questo<strong> grande</strong><em><strong> what if</strong></em><strong> della moda</strong>. A differenza della moda d&#8217;archivio, per&#242;, qui la collezione si pu&#242; comprare: sul sito e in boutique &#232; tutto disponibile e, stando alle informazioni di Rudi, la collaborazione con <strong>Onitsuka Tiger</strong> &#232; stata di tale successo che presto ne saranno annunciate nuove colorway. Come dice Rudi, &#171;<em>&#232; stata tutt&#8217;altro che rassicurante per la tipica clientela di Versace: ha spaesato, sconcertato, confuso, e in alcuni casi anche deluso</em>&#187; ma stando alle sue informazioni &#171;<em>per vendere, ha venduto. Non solo per l&#8217;estetica, la narrazione, ma anche per l&#8217;esclusivit&#224; dei pezzi. Non ci sar&#224; mai pi&#249; un Versace by Dario Vitale. Il punto &#232; proprio che il fatto che Dario se ne sia andato &#232; ci&#242; che ha reso tutto pi&#249; desirable</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Certo, continua Rudi, &#171;<em>il fan del Versace by Donatella, fatto delle stampe barocche ed eccessi, non si &#232; rispecchiato sempre e pienamente nel Versace by Dario che &#232; stato molto pi&#249; apprezzato dai clienti storici del brand, ovvero i fan di Gianni, e dalle nuove generazioni. Non c&#8217;&#232; mai stata cos&#236; tanta attenzione nei confronti di Versace da parte di un pubblico cos&#236; giovane</em>&#187;. A differenza della<strong> lunghissima era di Donatella Versace</strong>, per Vitale &#171;<em>tutto si basava sul desiderio, e sul voler esplorare questo, sul piano del sesso, con dei codici diversi</em>&#187; ma anche su<strong> obiettivi pratici</strong> dato che &#171;<em>l&#8217;obiettivo</em> [di Vitale, ndr] <em>non era andare a vestire aspirazionalmente dei talent per il Met Gala, ma raggiungere le abitazioni delle persone</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per Rudi &#171;<em>il problema del Versace by Donatella &#232; esattamente ci&#242; che succede ad ogni corrente artistica: quando arriva al culmine, prima di tramontare e dar spazio a quella successiva, si esaspera. Lei ha fatto lo stesso, ha portato all&#8217;esasperazione tutti i caratteri di Versace: il bondage, le stampe, la pelle&#8230; tutto</em>&#187;. Senza che si riuscisse &#171;<em>a discostarsi dal vecchio mito hollywoodiano per esplorare delle forme nuove e innovative</em>&#187;.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Gli effetti culturali del Versace di Dario Vitale sono stati dei fondamentali riallineamenti della <strong>nozione di desiderio </strong>alla base del brand stesso. Prima ancora della sua precoce uscita, la collezione &#232; stata al centro di cover in tutto il mondo, &#232; finita addosso a tutte le celebrit&#224; pensabili (da volti storici come Julia Roberts alla <em>new face </em>Connor Storrie) e ha ricevuto la validazione di mega-star come Addison Rae, Robyn e Dua Lipa riuscendo obliquamente a diventare<strong> un </strong><em><strong>instant cult</strong></em><strong> per la comunit&#224; queer</strong>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Per molti versi, il Versace di Dario Vitale esiste nello stesso immaginario esteso dei lavori di Tom of Finland e del <em>Querelle </em>di Fassbinder. E insieme a quella di Chanel, la collezione SS26 di Versace &#232; stata l&#8217;unica altra che ha spinto numerosi editor e insider del sistema a <strong>presentarsi in negozio</strong>, provare la collezione e postare a riguardo sui social. Una cosa davvero rara oggi.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il motivo di questo interesse &#232; sicuramente <strong>il senso di esclusivit&#224;</strong> di cui parlava Rudi, ovvero l&#8217;effettiva <strong>limitatezza temporale</strong> di una collezione che non avr&#224; seguiti o repliche e, dunque, gi&#224; nel suo apparire in negozio &#232; assomigliata a <strong>uno di quei drop di Supreme </strong>che spingevano i fan a un pellegrinaggio in negozio. Entrando e uscendo in nove mesi e firmando una singola collezione, il Versace di Dario Vitale non ha forse potuto esprimere il suo pieno potenziale ma, allo stesso tempo, &#232; stato immediatamente <strong>consegnato alla storia della moda</strong> come un fenomeno unico.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sul piano della narrativa, quest&#8217;era creativa tagliata cos&#236; corta non &#232; apparsa spezzata, ma miracolosamente<strong> concisa</strong>. In un&#8217;epoca in cui i direttori creativi che hanno debuttato nell&#8217;ultimo anno hanno <strong>gi&#224; firmato cinque o sei collezioni nel giro di altrettanti mesi</strong>, la singola collezione di Dario Vitale non &#232; stata appesantita da insistenze, ridondanze o esasperazioni commerciali.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Qualcosa di simile, anche se meno commerciale, era successo quando <strong>Jean-Paul Gaultier</strong> affid&#242; le collezioni di Haute Couture a<strong> diversi guest designer ogni stagione,</strong> creando una serie di<strong> collezioni-evento uniche </strong>e per questo memorabili. considerando che negli ultimi anni i cambi di direttore creativo sono diventati pi&#249; frequenti in tandem con<strong> <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/22836/creative-directors-abloh-michele">la diminuzione nella durata dei mandati </a>assegnati ai designer</strong>, potremmo guardare a questo fenomeno come all&#8217;annuncio di un nuovo modello?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/42222/dario-vitale-gossip-direttori-creativi-moda-conflitti-versace"> finendo al centro di gossip</a>, venendo annunciati come<strong> i salvatori o redentori di questo o quel brand</strong>. Il grande dibattito di oggi ruota intorno alla questione di <strong>quanto potere assegnare loro</strong>. LVMH e Chanel, ad esempio, amano investire su una direzione creativa solida e fare dei propri creativi delle superstar - non &#232; un caso se <strong>Pharrell appare anche in campagne e collaborazioni </strong>di altri brand del gruppo e Jonathan Anderson ha<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/39085/jonathan-anderson-talento-moda-loewe-jw-anderson"> firmato un contratto da talent.</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kering, invece, sta <strong>ridiscutendo il potere di queste figure</strong>: dopo lo shock causato dall&#8217;uscita di Alessandro Michele da Gucci, che ha portato il brand a<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/39850/gucci-sabato-de-sarno-crisi"> un triennio di confusione creativa </a>ora <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/40346/demna-gucci-fashion-authority">conclusosi con Demna</a> (si spera), il nuovo CEO Luca De Meo ha detto da subito che<strong> le sorti di un brand non possono legarsi a una figura</strong> il cui <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/37577/moda-direttori-creativi-estate-2024-rumors-speculazioni-john-galliano-dior-chanel-indovina-chi">rapido turnover </a>&#232; ormai <strong>un fattore consolidato da preventivare</strong>, con <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/22836/creative-directors-abloh-michele">una media di cambi ogni 5 anni o meno</a>. <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/42923/luca-de-meo-kering-nuova-strategia-lusso">Secondo le indiscrezioni</a>, la sua proposta era di affidare ai direttori creativi l&#8217;immagine e <strong>circa il 20% della produzione del brand</strong>, lasciando tutto il resto nella &#8220;cassaforte&#8221; delle collezioni carry-over e garantendo una forma di continuit&#224;. In base a questa lettura, i creativi sono sia un asset che una liability, <strong>sia una risorsa che un rischio</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Certo, anche se ci sono moltissimi esempi di brand di lusso che funzionano anche <strong>senza il protagonismo di un direttore creativo</strong>, si tratta comunque di brand molto specifici, che producono magari solo borse o scarpe. Ma andrebbe la pena di intrattenere il pensiero: essendo<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/31521/la-moda-stanca"> cambiate le logiche del mercato</a>, dovrebbero cambiare anche<strong> le logiche della moda stessa</strong>. I brand dei mega-gruppi e i designer indipendenti, in fondo, sono ormai creature del tutto diverse, <strong>nemmeno lontanamente paragonabili </strong>e se gli ultimi hanno ancora bisogno di una voce autoriale, i primi hanno <strong>implicitamente<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/33588/fashion-cambiamento-moda"> rinunciato all&#8217;autorialit&#224;</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/33588/fashion-cambiamento-moda"> da diverso tempo</a>, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/26851/collaborazioni-moda-curation">delegando e diffondendo il potere decisionale</a> attraverso strutture sempre pi&#249; capillari.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In questo senso, il caso di Dario Vitale da Versace potrebbe rappresentare la <strong>serendipica realizzazione</strong> che una singola e intensissima stagione, quando ben calibrata, pu&#242; avere<strong> un impatto molto pi&#249; elevato </strong>di una direzione creativa decennale che per&#242; sforna nuovi prodotti ogni tre mesi, finendo per perdere quel fattore di specialit&#224; e unicit&#224; che<strong> un &#8220;atto unico&#8221;</strong> potrebbe invece avere. Il che per&#242; comporterebbe<strong> un cambio di marcia completo</strong> nella narrazione di tutta l&#8217;industria. Ma sarebbe opportuno chiedersi se il mercato non si stia muovendo da un&#8217;idea di esclusivit&#224; di prezzo a una di <strong>esclusivit&#224; di tempo</strong>.</p><p style="text-align:

And the same can be said of the <strong>Versace SS26 collection</strong>, today remembered with the more practical nickname of <strong>&#8220;Versace by Dario Vitale&#8221;</strong>. When it was presented, with a more intimate show than many expected, it initially divided public opinion. A grand reinterpretation of Gianni Versace&#8217;s imagery or a simple exhumation of the 1980s in its most shocking colors? It was <strong>a strong impression</strong>, which however suddenly changed the perception of Versace, <strong>wiping out the platinum glamazons</strong> and the mega-logoed sneakers that had become synonymous with the brand in recent years. But after the first shock, a second one arrived.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After being at the brand for just nine months, producing a single collection, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44850/la-nuova-collaborazione-tra-onitsuka-tiger-e-versace-e-qui">a sneaker collaboration</a> and <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44165/versace-e-uno-e-trino-nella-nuova-campagna-ss26">an interesting 3-in-1 campaign</a>, <strong>Dario Vitale was<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43605/dario-vitale-lascia-versace"> fired</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43605/dario-vitale-lascia-versace"> by the new/old owners of the Prada Group</a> who in the meantime <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/43567/prada-acquista-versace-closing-2-dicembre-2025-piano-rilancio">had acquired Versace</a>, putting an end to his short season in the sun. Now, the brand awaits the arrival of another no less masterful designer, <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/44188/pieter-mulier-direttore-creativo-di-versace">Pieter Mulier</a></strong>, responsible for Ala&#239;a&#8217;s renaissance. In the meantime, the recognizability and fame gained by Vitale, as well as the <strong>hundreds of editorials and covers</strong> in which the collection appeared, have led industry insiders to talk about a <strong>&#8220;revenge&#8221;</strong> for the designer who was a victim of market logic.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The collection is therefore in <strong>a very particular position</strong>: not only appreciated by insiders and highly recognizable, but also, given the creative director&#8217;s rapid exit, <strong>almost a limited edition worthy of being collected</strong>. There&#8217;s more: The fashion community loves an <em>underdog</em> and <strong>Dario Vitale is the perfect </strong><em><strong>underdog</strong></em>: young, a respected professional but also a highly appreciated creative who was denied an opportunity by a major industry group right on the verge of a change that will be <strong>epochal</strong> for Versace.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yet, we could argue, it was precisely his rapid exit that partly created <strong>an almost anomalous appreciation</strong> for the collection. Anomalous not for lack of merit, but for the <strong>unusual intensity and emotionality</strong> it carried. From this story, can we therefore draw some <strong>broader lessons</strong> about creative directors and the psychology of the fashion public?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

before</em>&#187;, <strong>Francesco Rudi</strong> of @versaceeventi, the most important fanpage dedicated to the brand, told us. Rudi compared the collection to <strong>the silent protagonist of Pasolini&#8217;s </strong><em><strong>Teorema</strong></em> since &#171;<em>it catapulted itself into the habitual and repetitive life of each of us and upended it</em>&#187;. Rudi continued his comparison: &#171;<em>In</em> Teorema,<em> the guest of the bourgeois family appears unexpectedly, and simply by existing, without too many glances or provocations of any kind, arouses the sexual desire of all the family members. The attraction they feel towards him leads them to experience sides of themselves never tried before</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Just like the mysterious guest in <em>Teorema</em>, <strong>Dario Vitale disappeared relatively quickly</strong>, leading the brand&#8217;s new audience to first develop a real obsession with this <strong>great fashion </strong><em><strong>what if</strong></em>. Unlike archive fashion, however, here the collection can be bought: on the website and in boutiques everything is available and, according to Rudi&#8217;s information, the collaboration with <strong>Onitsuka Tiger</strong> was so successful that new colorways will soon be announced. As Rudi says, &#171;<em>it was anything but reassuring for Versace&#8217;s typical clientele: it disoriented, bewildered, confused, and in some cases even disappointed</em>&#187; but according to his information &#171;<em>as for sales, it sold. Not only for the aesthetics and the narrative, but also for the exclusivity of the pieces. There will never be another Versace by Dario Vitale. The point is precisely that the fact that Dario left is what made everything more desirable</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, Rudi continues, &#171;<em>the fan of Versace by Donatella, made of baroque prints and excesses, did not always fully identify with Versace by Dario, which was much more appreciated by the brand&#8217;s historical clients, i.e. Gianni&#8217;s fans, and by the new generations. There has never been so much attention towards Versace from such a young audience</em>&#187;. Unlike the <strong>very long era of Donatella Versace</strong>, for Vitale &#171;<em>everything was based on desire, and on wanting to explore it, on the level of sex, with different codes</em>&#187; but also on <strong>practical goals</strong> since &#171;<em>the goal</em> [of Vitale, ed.] <em>was not to aspirationally dress talents for the Met Gala, but to reach people&#8217;s homes</em>&#187;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For Rudi &#171;<em>the problem with Versace by Donatella is exactly what happens to every artistic movement: when it reaches its peak, before fading and making way for the next one, it becomes exasperated. She did the same, she took all the characteristics of Versace to exasperation: bondage, prints, leather&#8230; everything</em>&#187;. Without managing &#171;<em>to move away from the old Hollywood myth to explore new and innovative forms</em>&#187;.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

data-component-name="Twitter2ToDOM"></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The cultural effects of Dario Vitale&#8217;s Versace were fundamental realignments of the <strong>notion of desire</strong> at the base of the brand itself. Even before his early exit, the collection was at the center of covers around the world, ended up on all conceivable celebrities (from historic faces like Julia Roberts to the <em>new face</em> Connor Storrie) and received validation from mega-stars like Addison Rae, Robyn and Dua Lipa, obliquely managing to become <strong>an </strong><em><strong>instant cult</strong></em><strong> for the queer community</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In many ways, Dario Vitale&#8217;s Versace exists in the same extended imaginary as the works of Tom of Finland and Fassbinder&#8217;s <em>Querelle</em>. And together with Chanel&#8217;s, the Versace SS26 collection was the only other one that pushed numerous editors and insiders in the system to <strong>show up in store</strong>, try on the collection and post about it on social media. A truly rare thing today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The reason for this interest is surely <strong>the sense of exclusivity</strong> Rudi spoke of, i.e. the actual <strong>temporal limitedness</strong> of a collection that will have no follow-ups or replicas and, therefore, already when it appeared in stores it resembled <strong>one of those Supreme drops</strong> that pushed fans to make a pilgrimage to the store. Entering and exiting in nine months and signing a single collection, Dario Vitale&#8217;s Versace may not have been able to express its full potential but, at the same time, it was immediately <strong>delivered to fashion history</strong> as a unique phenomenon.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the narrative level, this creative era cut so short did not appear broken, but miraculously <strong>concise</strong>. In an era in which creative directors who debuted in the last year have <strong>already signed five or six collections in as many months</strong>, Dario Vitale&#8217;s single collection was not weighed down by insistences, redundancies or commercial exasperations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Something similar, although less commercial, had happened when <strong>Jean-Paul Gaultier</strong> entrusted the Haute Couture collections to <strong>different guest designers each season,</strong> creating a series of <strong>unique event-collections</strong> and for this reason memorable. Considering that in recent years changes of creative director have become more frequent in tandem with <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/22836/creative-directors-abloh-michele">the decrease in the duration of mandates</a></strong> <strong>assigned to designers</strong>, could we look at this phenomenon as the announcement of a new model?</p><div

href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/39250/moda-direttori-creativi-chanel-margiela-bottega-veneta-lvmh-kering-blazy-galliano">changed a lot in recent years</a>, becoming celebrity, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/42222/dario-vitale-gossip-direttori-creativi-moda-conflitti-versace">ending up at the center of gossip</a>, being announced as <strong>the saviors or redeemers of this or that brand</strong>. Today&#8217;s great debate revolves around the question of <strong>how much power to assign them</strong>. LVMH and Chanel, for example, like to invest in a solid creative direction and turn their creatives into superstars - it is no coincidence that <strong>Pharrell also appears in campaigns and collaborations</strong> of other brands in the group and Jonathan Anderson has <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/39085/jonathan-anderson-talento-moda-loewe-jw-anderson">signed a talent contract.</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kering, on the other hand, is <strong>re-discussing the power of these figures</strong>: after the shock caused by Alessandro Michele&#8217;s exit from Gucci, which led the brand to <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/39850/gucci-sabato-de-sarno-crisi">three years of creative confusion</a> now <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/40346/demna-gucci-fashion-authority">concluded with Demna</a> (hopefully), the new CEO Luca De Meo immediately said that <strong>the fate of a brand cannot be tied to a figure</strong> whose <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/37577/moda-direttori-creativi-estate-2024-rumors-speculazioni-john-galliano-dior-chanel-indovina-chi">rapid turnover</a> is now <strong>a consolidated factor to be planned for</strong>, with <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/22836/creative-directors-abloh-michele">an average change every 5 years or less</a>. <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/42923/luca-de-meo-kering-nuova-strategia-lusso">According to rumors</a>, his proposal was to entrust creative directors with the image and <strong>about 20% of the brand&#8217;s production</strong>, leaving everything else in the &#8220;safe&#8221; of carry-over collections and guaranteeing a form of continuity. According to this reading, creatives are both an asset and a liability, <strong>both a resource and a risk</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, even though there are many examples of luxury brands that work even <strong>without the protagonism of a creative director</strong>, these are still very specific brands, which perhaps produce only bags or shoes. But it would be worth entertaining the thought: since <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/31521/la-moda-stanca">the logic of the market has changed</a>, the <strong>logic of fashion itself</strong> should also change. The brands of mega-groups and independent designers are, after all, now completely different creatures, <strong>not even remotely comparable</strong> and if the latter still need an authorial voice, the former have <strong>implicitly</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/33588/fashion-cambiamento-moda">renounced authorship</a></strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/33588/fashion-cambiamento-moda"> for some time</a>, <a href="https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/26851/collaborazioni-moda-curation">delegating and spreading decision-making power</a> through increasingly capillary structures.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In this sense, the case of Dario Vitale at Versace could represent the <strong>serendipitous realization</strong> that a single and very intense season, when well calibrated, can have <strong>a much higher impact</strong> than a decade-long creative direction that however churns out new products every three months, eventually losing that factor of specialty and uniqueness that <strong>a &#8220;one-act play&#8221;</strong> could instead have. Which however would entail <strong>a complete change of pace</strong> in the narrative of the entire industry. But it would be appropriate to ask whether the market is not moving from an idea of price exclusivity to one of <strong>time exclusivity</strong>.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

Meglio goderselo, finch&#233; si pu&#242;.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" width="1456" height="156" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:156,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>Come si diceva, tutti parlano dell&#8217;ultimo show di Chanel.

style="text-align: justify;">Design Week is over at last, leaving Milan like a fever leaves a body. Three topics dominate the conversation among fashion insiders: <strong>Chanel&#8217;s Cruise 2027 show</strong>, which brought<a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/fashion/45191/nude-shoes-barefoot-trend-chanel-cruise-2027"> the strangest shoes seen in quite some time</a>; the long-awaited Italian release of <em><strong><a href="https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/45174/the-devil-wears-prada-2-review-publishing-crisis">The Devil Wears Prada 2</a></strong></em>, and finally,<strong> the Met Gala </strong>taking place on Monday under the dubious (unsettling?) aegis of<strong> Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. </strong>Perhaps in six months, or perhaps next year,<strong> all of fashion could have changed,</strong> but in the meantime, numbed to announcements of the next and forever-postponed apocalypse, the industry is getting ready to do<strong> another round</strong>. Better enjoy it while it lasts.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png" width="1456" height="156" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:156,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!bfdr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbdb2b459-252e-43cd-b09e-7e0f0e482561_2384x256.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>As we were saying, everyone is talking about Chanel&#8217;s latest show.

<strong>unmissable, what to see, </strong><em><strong>what is in</strong></em>. I, if I can be honest, don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know as I write this piece, and I won&#8217;t know even once the week is over and this piece is published. Not out of disinterest, I know, because in recent years my experience has always been the same: <strong>too much noise, too much stuff, too many opinions</strong>. I feel overwhelmed even before I begin. A continuous horizon of events, installations, openings, invitations and then, queues queues queues. People everywhere, in a state of excitement, <strong>FOMO</strong> is felt on the skin and smelled in the air.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Milan Design Week has a <strong>density</strong> that seems to compress space and distort it, forcing you into a perpetual motion of seven days in which - in order to see everything you &#8220;should&#8221; see - you must not work, have a life, <strong>or even sleep</strong>. You survive on olives and lukewarm prosecco, and meanwhile you accumulate images, encounters, impressions. But the feeling is always the same: not being able to truly choose. And above all, there is no time to understand what you are looking at, even when you do choose: <strong>the experience is determined more by flows than by attention</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If for some Design Week is a perfect machine, it is also an ecosystem that is increasingly difficult to inhabit consciously. It divides the public between enthusiasts and perplexed observers, but still forces them into the same condition: that of <strong>rapid, hit-and-run consumption of experiences</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To understand how we got here, we need to take a step back.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/71148430-e1f3-44d5-b3b4-37a05f232621_1280x1602.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5a9fff6c-2245-433c-a97e-07e1ecdece14_1138x800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b9ab7ee6-3dee-4805-94f1-b40ec1b98d10_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Salone del Mobile</strong> was born in <strong>1961</strong> as a trade fair with a clear function: to connect companies and buyers, showcase products, activate the market. For years its perimeter remains defined. It is between <strong>the 1980s and 1990s</strong> that something changes: outside the fair <strong>spontaneous events</strong> begin to emerge - exhibitions, installations, studio openings. They are not yet a system, but they intercept<strong> a different need</strong>: not only to see design, but <strong>to experience it.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thus the <strong>Fuorisalone</strong> is born. Initially marginal, almost parasitic, it grows until it becomes <strong>an autonomous phenomenon</strong>. In the <strong>2000s</strong> it becomes structured, attracts investment, and brands begin shifting more and more attention outside the fair, transforming the city into a diffuse exhibition space.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1ca1861b-aa57-48e6-9a3c-6548940101e7_857x1200.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9f3ce4a7-d7ac-412f-8a5e-ae6f890669e9_1600x1064.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5c4ddd60-c35d-4573-80bb-bd6965f1f960_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After <strong>Expo 2015 </strong>this model fully consolidates: Milan stops being just the site of a fair and becomes <strong>a stage</strong>. The sum of Salone and Fuorisalone produces an experiential architecture in which <strong>market, culture, tourism and communication</strong> are inextricably intertwined.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Design is no longer just object: it is experience, narrative, content.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And it is precisely here that a less visible but perhaps decisive shift occurs. What begins as a spontaneous expansion - a way of <strong>experiencing design beyond the product</strong> - progressively becomes an autonomous system, increasingly oriented only <strong>toward visibility</strong>, presence, the continuous production of content. The city ceases to be the context of design and becomes its device: it no longer hosts, it performs. And when everything becomes an event, the risk is that experience loses depth, in both senses, turning into a continuous sequence of <strong>stimuli that are almost impossible to sediment and process</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8ae41f5f-0aab-4249-9037-05d053a9c632_1080x1440.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1a025eef-b99d-4a18-aba0-758e3d309e11_1200x1800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b9b17661-3761-4172-90b1-f9ab67c3a755_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is here that Milan Design Week becomes interesting not only for what it displays, but for what it reveals to us. It is not simply an event, but the symptom of a broader urban model: <strong>a city that organizes itself through temporary intensities</strong>, flows, peaks of attention. A city increasingly capable of <strong>functioning as a platform</strong> and less and less willing to exist as a place.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As <strong>Guido Martinotti</strong> observed in <em>Metropoli: la nuova morfologia sociale della citt&#224;</em> (Il Mulino, 1993), contemporary cities are increasingly traversed by &#8220;city users&#8221;: people who do not inhabit them, but use them. During MDW this dynamic becomes dominant. Milan fills with <strong>temporary, mobile, fast bodies</strong>. Bodies that consume not only objects, but images, experiences and relationships. The city offers itself as an aesthetic surface: every courtyard is a set, every installation content, every district narrative. Milan makes itself available to the gaze, becoming itself content: <strong>neighborhoods behave like temporary brands</strong>, aesthetics become economic infrastructure, experience becomes commodity. It is a city that produces value - economic, symbolic, relational - and sometimes it also produces culture, truly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0653c6c9-2c82-4315-94c6-8c425398a8f8_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ccd9dea5-9ee2-42bd-8b93-b524ccdc68f4_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f7227da5-2d28-48ef-8b77-91fc52c77ec7_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But it is also a city that, precisely through this intensification, tends to reduce the conditions necessary to build meaningful experience over time. As <strong><a href="https://www.raicultura.it/raicultura/articoli/2025/07/Lucia-Tozzi-Linvenzione-di-Milano--c1e44617-50fc-47c5-9f01-61a678efb3a1.html">Lucia Tozzi</a></strong> suggests, the model of &#8220;weeks&#8221; produces <strong>an intermittent and unstable city</strong>, where immediate value prevails over the construction of a lasting fabric. The bulimic and disorienting excess of offer does not automatically translate into quality, but often into <strong>overlap</strong>, into noise. In this context, <strong>design itself is transformed</strong>. More and more often it is designed to function above all in the immediate: to attract, to surprise, to be shared. It is no longer just project, but becomes above all content. No longer just object, but an experience to be lived, often too quickly, and for this reason just as often <strong>unsatisfying</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Design Week makes these dynamics visible, showing both the <strong>city&#8217;s attractive force</strong> and its <strong>structural fragilities</strong>. What appears as vibrancy is in reality what tends to <strong>impoverish Milan</strong>, the result of a pervasive and precise capitalist logic: continuous growth, intensification, accumulation. More events, more presence, more visibility. More of everything.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But not everything that grows manages to turn into meaning. Milan, during Design Week, functions perfectly. That is the point. It functions as a platform, as a productive machine, as<strong> a system of continuous activation</strong>, but precisely for this reason it increasingly <strong>struggles to make space for what is not immediate</strong>, for what requires time, and perhaps has a greater chance of building relationships.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And perhaps it is precisely here that its deepest contradiction lies: not only in the absurd quantity of what it produces, but in the <strong>difficulty of holding onto anything</strong>. Because the city is not the one we cross during the various &#8220;weeks&#8221;, but the one that is built beyond and around them. In the dead times, in unprogrammed relationships, in <strong>spaces that do not need to perform in order to exist</strong>. And perhaps it is there, too, that it would be worth returning to imagine, work and commit to.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

<strong>cosa fosse imperdibile, cosa vedere, cosa &#232; </strong><em><strong>in</strong></em>. Io, se posso essere onesta, non lo so. Non lo so mentre scrivo questo pezzo, e non lo sapr&#242; nemmeno a settimana finita quando questo pezzo uscir&#224;. Non per disinteresse, lo so, perch&#233; negli ultimi anni la mia esperienza &#232; sempre stata quella: <strong>troppo rumore, troppa roba, troppe opinioni</strong>. Mi sento sovraccarica ancor prima di iniziare. Un orizzonte  continuo di eventi, installazioni, aperture, inviti e poi, code code code. Gente ovunque, in  fibrillazione, la <strong>FOMO</strong> la senti sulla pelle e l&#8217;annusi nell&#8217;aria.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La Milano Design Week ha una <strong>densit&#224;</strong> che sembra comprimere lo spazio e distorcerlo,  costringendoti a un moto perpetuo di sette giorni in cui - per vedere tutto quello che &#8220;dovresti&#8221;  vedere - non devi lavorare, avere una vita, <strong>nemmeno dormire</strong>. Sopravvivi a olive e prosecco tiepido, e intanto accumuli immagini, incontri, impressioni. Ma la sensazione &#232; sempre la stessa:  <strong>non riuscire a scegliere</strong> davvero. E soprattutto non c&#8217;&#232; il tempo per capire ci&#242; che si sta guardando,  anche quando scegli: <strong>l&#8217;esperienza &#232; determinata dai flussi pi&#249; che dall&#8217;attenzione</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Se per alcuni la Design Week &#232; una macchina perfetta, &#232; anche un <strong>ecosistema</strong> sempre pi&#249; difficile da abitare in modo consapevole. Divide il pubblico tra entusiasti e perplessi, ma li costringe comunque alla stessa condizione: quella del <strong>consumo rapido</strong>, <strong>mordi e fuggi</strong>, <strong>di esperienze</strong>.</p><p>Per capire come siamo arrivati qui, bisogna fare un passo indietro.</p><p></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/eaa16964-a1fc-4ba4-aca8-3434e9dd800e_1280x1602.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/18a41ce8-de83-403b-9157-c76e8dbc8984_1138x800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/621f7fd0-60ca-4ea6-b9a9-89ab246861c7_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Il <strong>Salone del Mobile</strong> nasce nel <strong>1961</strong> come fiera commerciale con una funzione chiara: mettere in relazione aziende e compratori, mostrare prodotti, attivare il mercato.

E quando tutto diventa evento, il rischio &#232; che l&#8217;esperienza perda profondit&#224;, in entrambi i sensi, trasformandosi in una sequenza continua di stimoli quasi <strong>impossibili da sedimentare ed elaborare</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e15f7dd1-7697-47df-aa82-d83252140c77_1080x1440.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ef43aa7c-ff4b-4e83-9255-fde2a3a20285_1200x1800.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6713860c-ee12-4675-a831-11104095b0b2_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#200; qui che la Milano Design Week diventa interessante non solo per ci&#242; che mette in mostra, ma per  ci&#242; che ci rivela. Non &#232; semplicemente un evento, ma il sintomo di un <strong>modello urbano</strong> pi&#249; ampio: <strong>una citt&#224; che si organizza per intensit&#224; temporanee</strong>, per flussi, per picchi di attenzione. Una citt&#224;  sempre pi&#249; capace di <strong>funzionare come piattaforma</strong> e sempre meno disposta a esistere come luogo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Come osservava <strong>Guido Martinotti </strong>in<strong> </strong><em>Metropoli: la nuova morfologia sociale della citt&#224; (Il Mulino, 1993)</em>, le citt&#224; contemporanee sono sempre pi&#249; attraversate da <em><strong>city users</strong></em>: persone che non le abitano, ma le utilizzano. Durante la MDW questa dinamica diventa  dominante. Milano si riempie di <strong>corpi temporanei</strong>, mobili, veloci. Corpi che consumano, non solo  oggetti, ma immagini, esperienze e relazioni. La citt&#224; si offre come superficie estetica: ogni cortile &#232; set, ogni installazione contenuto, ogni distretto narrazione. Milano si rende disponibile allo sguardo, diventando essa stessa contenuto: i <strong>quartieri si comportano come brand temporanei</strong>, l&#8217;estetica diventa infrastruttura economica, l&#8217;esperienza merce. &#200; una citt&#224; che produce valore, economico,  simbolico, relazionale, e a volte produce anche cultura, davvero.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/acbbe9c8-38b3-4fd7-8e42-9df46cca4681_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4c69395a-50bd-423f-b4c0-188304090748_1080x1350.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1a265d4b-fd00-4b45-aea6-a38e64a26e99_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ma &#232; anche una citt&#224; che, proprio attraverso questa intensificazione, tende a ridurre le condizioni  necessarie per costruire esperienza di valore nel tempo. Come suggerisce <strong><a href="https://www.raicultura.it/raicultura/articoli/2025/07/Lucia-Tozzi-Linvenzione-di-Milano--c1e44617-50fc-47c5-9f01-61a678efb3a1.html">Lucia Tozzi</a></strong>, il modello delle &#8220;<em>week</em>&#8221; produce <strong>una citt&#224; intermittente e instabile</strong>, in cui il valore immediato prevale sulla  costruzione di un tessuto duraturo. L&#8217;eccesso di offerta, bulimico e disorientante, non si traduce  automaticamente in qualit&#224;, ma spesso in <strong>sovrapposizione</strong>, in rumore. In questo contesto, <strong>anche il  design si trasforma</strong>. Sempre pi&#249; spesso &#232; pensato funzionare soprattutto nell&#8217;immediato: attirare, sorprendere, essere condiviso. Non &#232; pi&#249; solo progetto, ma diventa soprattutto contenuto. Non pi&#249;  solo oggetto, ma esperienza da vivere, spesso per&#242; troppo velocemente, e per questo, altrettanto  spesso, <strong>insoddisfacente</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La Design Week rende visibili queste dinamiche, mostrando insieme la <strong>forza attrattiva</strong> della citt&#224; e le sue <strong>fragilit&#224; strutturali</strong>. Ci&#242; che appare come vivacit&#224; &#232; quello che in realt&#224; tende a <strong>impoverire Milano</strong>, il risultato di una logica capitalistica pervasiva e precisa: crescita continua, intensificazione, accumulo. Pi&#249; eventi, pi&#249; presenze, pi&#249; visibilit&#224;. Pi&#249; tutto.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ma non tutto ci&#242; che cresce riesce a trasformarsi in senso. Milano, durante la Design Week, funziona perfettamente. &#200; questo il punto. Funziona come piattaforma, come macchina produttiva, come <strong>sistema di attivazione continua</strong>, ma proprio per questo <strong>fatica sempre di pi&#249; a lasciare spazio</strong> a ci&#242; che non &#232; immediato, a ci&#242; che richiede tempo, e forse ha pi&#249; possibilit&#224; di costruire anche  relazione.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">E forse &#232; proprio qui che si gioca la sua contraddizione pi&#249; profonda: non &#232; solo nella quantit&#224; assurda di ci&#242; che produce, ma nella <strong>difficolt&#224; di poter trattenere</strong> qualcosa. Perch&#233; la citt&#224; non &#232;  quella che attraversiamo durante le varie &#8220;week&#8221;, ma quella che si costruisce oltre e intorno ad esse. Nei tempi morti, nelle relazioni non programmate, negli <strong>spazi che non devono performare</strong> <strong>per esistere</strong>. Ed &#232; forse l&#236;, anche, che varrebbe la pena tornare a immaginare, lavorare e impegnarsi.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.nssmag.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><strong>Iscriviti a nss magazine su Substack per non perdere mai le ultime novit&#224; su cultura, moda e lifestyle</strong></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
