Finally I arrived at this post!
It was the first to arrive in my mail, and I deliberately decided to leave it for last, because it is rich of particularly interesting arguments and ideas.
Nicola Formichetti, creative director of the maison now for the 3rd season, has decided to take advantage of everyday life, its history, its origins, in other words what is around him for this collection.
As we all know, Nicola has Japanese origins, and it is no coincidence that the central concept of the season is mostly focused orientalistic and in particular on his homeland.
When we need to design, to find something new, contemporary and / or edgy, we just think of one and only place: the East.
A tribute to Japan and its culture.
The clean lines, the cuts of the clothes, which, since the first exits, remind us architectural buildings like, for example, the Nishizawa's Teshima Art Museum; even if we take into consideration the color, where it's pretty clear that the predominant part is white, it seems that the issue is simply the minimalism, but of course, and fortunately, it does not.
Always talking about Japan, color, and how tradition and innovation have central role, if
we consider now the first 4 outfts (high processing with emphasis of the higher waist part, with fringes at the bottom starting from under the upper structure of the skirt. person.), there may be different interpretations. one of these is that of the aquarium. The firsts with fringes, in particular remind me of the giant Japanese jellyfish, news spreads for some years; however, for colors such as tangerine, orange, black and white, which fish, if not the most common Koi carp?
Another element from the black and white corrosion animalier print , is the white tiger, which according to Eastern tradition, was the king of beasts.

Not just from the clothing itself we can grasp the core meaning, but also from the makeup, the elongation of the eye and the resulting make-up for the 'thinning of the eye.
Finally the music.
Who was The Last Emperor's composer?
Ryuichi Sakamoto, is perhaps one of the greatest Japanese composers of our time; a song that I think, or rather I hope, you all know is "Tea in the desert."Nicola Formichetti has decided to undertake a new partnership with this outstanding artist, creating a soundtrack that recalls our minds to something we think we know but we actually don't really know; A kind of music between electronica and contemporary classical, which transports us in a future and absolutely modern dimension.
But what the word "modern" means?
Construction, simplicity of form and colors, and look at the future;
a future that is not in West, but in the East.
