«Life is made of stairs», the proverb says. «But you have to understand which way you're climbing them», we reply. And this week reminded us how absolutely anyone can be swept away by the waves of destiny: Jensen Huang, for starters, now former CEO of Nvidia, who lost almost everything in the space of seventy-two hours; or Burberry which, from a limping and somewhat faded brand, ended up overtaking its much larger competitors with sales in China; or even Supreme, which everyone had written off as finished, and which instead is suddenly becoming popular again among young people. But also Matteo Tamburini, who left Tod’s from one day to the next, could fit our example. In short, we’re not surprised that people go up and down the stairs of life — only by how quickly they can do it. Who will be the next to be swept away by an unusual destiny in the grey sea of this November?
