ESSENTIALS is the weekly newsletter from nss magazine, delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.
An alternation of rain and almost spring-like sun seems to anticipate the way fashion attention will furiously oscillate between two fires next week. On one side, Milan Fashion Week; on the other, the Sanremo Festival, a true cyclone that promises to sweep away every other news story. It’s the first time this overlap has occurred, a kind of alignment of the stars that will bring two worlds (one small and one gigantic, one elitist and one national-popular) almost to touch, separated by a minimal and insurmountable distance. Needless to say, our attention will do somersaults to follow both. But don’t let all the weekly commitments distract you from the calendar of meetings and events that nss has prepared for the coming week: parties, activations, and above all, the landing of Fuorimoda in Italy’s main fashion universities to comment live on the new collections together with tomorrow’s talents.
