MUGLER'S "BROTHERS OF ARCADIA"
‘I was interested in the idea of fantasy, dreams and voyeurism. I also liked the idea of modern and ancient myths,’ says Nicola Formichetti, the Creative Director of Mugler, about his thoughts behind this season’s collection and film. It was a sort of re-modernisation of myths, and a sublimation of the player.
The runway started with "new-ancient" athletes with gold applications on the upper side of the body, and classic trousers, then it started becoming more sporty: bright block colors, fluorescent green, orange, all printed on stretch athletic fabrics and garments– ranging from swimwear to a spin on motor cross gear – evoking the feel of a second skin.
This duality is also present in the motif of the dissected silhouette, where tailoring is frequently held together by a transparent strip that also splits top from bottom.
Formichetti's moodboard ,this time, was the film ,made with the photographer Branislav Jankic.
A conversion from photography to film, new sensations, new perspectives; a widespread view that captures different aspect of our society (ancient-contemporary) and our history specifically.
The music for the show is another proof of this cultural re-interpretation, starting from Franz Schubert's Piano Trio No.2 in E flat to Jessica 6. The band provides also an exclusive remix for the show and Nomi, the lead singer, is one of the stars of the film too.

HOLLYWOOD IN FLORENCE: RODARTE PITTI UOMO + W
It was 6:30 pm( after a Pitti day i'm usally walking like a dead body and tired like someone full of chicken) when i arrived at the old BARTOLINI's shop, ancient and historical shop near the Duomo, in Via De' Servi. A big crew was waiting outside , i was quite scared, but fortunately i got in immediately.
Beautiful dresses (pastel colors, plissè, chiffons,silks..) were all kept between the walls of this "under-deconstruction"shop.
There was in particular a beautiful white gown (it reminds us Black Swan's costumes) in a room lit by neon, and by all the mirror games, that attracted me , unfortunately we couldn't take detailed pictures, but the DETAILS, MY GOD THE DETAILS!!
