This allowed even a small-town seamstress to offer her clients a dress in line with the latest Parisian trends. Certainly, more modest fabrics were used, and the craftsmanship was less refined, but the shapes and styles faithfully echoed those seen in the glossiest magazines. Fashion was a dream that could be scaled according to one\u2019s income.<br><br>When&nbsp;<strong>Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong>&nbsp;opened the first&nbsp;<em>pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter<\/em>&nbsp;boutique in 1966, the elite cried scandal \u2014 because now even \u201cordinary people\u201d could afford a piece by the divine couturier. Saint Laurent understood that the world was changing and was the first to ride the wave of a rapidly expanding market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This lesson in \u201cfashion democracy\u201d yielded brilliant results between the late 1980s and early 2000s, when many of the brands of fashion\u2019s new wave diversified their output by introducing so-called&nbsp;<strong>\u201csecond lines\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;alongside their main collections \u2014 the latter being of higher creative and qualitative standards. These secondary lines, designed for smaller budgets, brought brand identity within the reach of a younger audience, combining design and innovation with accessible prices and wide distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those were the years of&nbsp;<strong>Versus<\/strong>&nbsp;(Gianni Versace),&nbsp;<strong>Emporio Armani<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>D&amp;G<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Junior Gaultier<\/strong>, and many other \u201ctwin\u201d labels: Paris and Milan dressed everyone \u2014 with great economic success \u2014 and&nbsp;<em>fast fashion<\/em>&nbsp;not only did not yet exist, but, above all, no one felt the need for it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1130094.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3622\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7256256629303672;width:593px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: VERSUS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing remains of that world and that era.

The major&nbsp;<em>maisons<\/em>, on the other hand, chose exclusion over inclusion \u2014 eventually even losing their most loyal and wealthy clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The damage inflicted on the system by the two macro-blocks, with exponential price increases, has led to fashion being perceived today as something for the few \u2014 an exclusive ritual rather than a shareable art. The bubble inflated to unbelievable proportions, primarily sustained by the Asian market, which was exploited for its purchasing power \u2014 until, puff! \u2014 even this bubble burst, aided by the growing awareness among consumers of the product and the fair value it should carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, many industry analysts see&nbsp;<strong>investment in creativity and price containment<\/strong>&nbsp;as the true drivers for the recovery of fashion, which now, more than ever, must rebuild its identity \u2014 balancing between the unjustifiable economic values of the big players and the unethical drift of fast fashion.

They are essential in conveying her deep bond with the Creature, visible in the intimate gesture where he lifts the veil covering her, and even more so in the wedding dress, whose seams mirror those on his body, laden with emotional significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3625\" style=\"width:1120px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/73594b97-ee0b-a478-62d4-4caaed6baca8-930x620.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jacob Elordi<\/strong>, with his tall, lean physique, gives the Creature a new dimension \u2014 more vulnerable than frightening. Central to this transformation is the&nbsp;<strong>make-up and prosthetics work<\/strong>&nbsp;by designer&nbsp;<strong>Mike Hill<\/strong>, who creates artificial skin marked by scars, stitches, and imperfections \u2014 tangible traces of the body\u2019s assembly. The use of contact lenses, bandages, and wigs completes the metamorphosis, giving the Creature an aesthetic suspended between the sacred and the profane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Del Toro engages with the literary source in a direct and respectful manner:&nbsp;<strong>Mary Shelley<\/strong>, the author who in 1818 gave life to the first great modern mythology of the artificial body. Shelley imagined a world in which man, seduced by the power of science, challenges the limits of nature without taking responsibility for his actions. Del Toro captures this tension precisely.<br>It is not the Creature that embodies horror, but&nbsp;<strong>Victor Frankenstein<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 a brilliant surgeon incapable of grasping the moral weight of his deeds. The Creature reclaims the role Shelley envisioned: a figure that forces us to ask what remains of us when the world does not see us for who we are, but only for how we appear.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong><strong><strong>MiniMyths<\/strong><\/strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/strong>&#8211; <em>in collaboration with Scuola Internazionale Comics<\/em><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1550\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-30-alle-23.27.24.png\" alt=\"Logo rassegna corti animati MiniMyths\" class=\"wp-image-2829\" style=\"width:292px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-30-alle-23.27.24.png 1550w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-30-alle-23.27.24-900x338.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-30-alle-23.27.24-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-09-30-alle-23.27.24-1536x577.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1550px) 100vw, 1550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Triangle-article\"><em><em><em>in collaboration with Scuola Internazionale Comics<\/em> (Torino)<\/em><br><br><\/em>After an extraordinary year together with the students and teachers<br>of the International School of Comics\u2026 the new column <em>MiniMyths<\/em> arrives<br>to explore together what Modern Mythology really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"Triangle-article\"><strong>Seeing the Past, Understanding the Present,<br>Predicting the Future<\/strong>. <em>Reading Time<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>by Federica Fornelli<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"08.Lettura del Tempo - MiniMyths\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XJEMBFlDDkA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/logo-scuolacomics.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2832\" style=\"width:292px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong><strong>FMC \/\/ October 2025<\/strong>.

Under his direction, the world of the Addamses was imbued with an even more glamorous and theatrical gothic aesthetic. Much of the credit goes to costume designer&nbsp;<strong>Ruth Myers<\/strong>, who created a visual language that speaks as much to fashion as it does to the history of costume. Her influences ranged&nbsp;<strong>from 19th-century decadence and the Victorian era, to 1950s haute couture, and even surrealist tones<\/strong>.<br><br>Myers explains that the true goal was to make Morticia (Anjelica Huston) appear to \u201cfloat\u201d like a goddess, as if she did not entirely belong to the world of the living. This effect was achieved through the clothes she wore\u2014outfits that cemented her immortality in the collective memory.

They have challenged conventions, turning horror into style and diversity into beauty. While society has often regarded them with suspicion, fashion has crowned them as its muses, celebrating their theatricality and love for the unusual. Morticia, with her mermaid-style gowns; Wednesday, with her iconic toughness; Gomez, with his timeless dandy charm\u2014each character is an archetype that continues to resonate in contemporary visual culture. Today, with Jenna Ortega as the new dark muse, this mythology is renewed, proving that being an Addams is not odd\u2014it is an act of aesthetic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ultimately, their story offers a profound style lesson: do not fear being yourself, even when conformity is easier.&nbsp;<\/strong>As Morticia might say, with a smile and a flutter of her lashes: \u201cNormal is an illusion.

Once it receives approval from the director\u2019s team, the project becomes material: wood, metal, paint, and decorations take shape thanks to the skilled hands of the&nbsp;<em>Werkstatt<\/em>, led by Stefan M\u00f6llers. In the Pankow warehouses, the carpentry, metalwork, and decoration departments transform the vision into three-dimensional reality, while on the fourth floor of the Volksb\u00fchne,&nbsp;<strong>the master tailors turn the costume designers\u2019 ideas into fabric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"914\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Makar-Artemev02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3069\" style=\"width:1120px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Makar-Artemev02.png 914w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Makar-Artemev02-900x658.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Makar-Artemev02-768x561.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: @Makar Artemev<\/em><br><br><strong>The costume workshops are divided into two: one for women\u2019s costumes and the other for men\u2019s<\/strong>. Here, work is always a race against time: unlike opera, where the schedule is set at the beginning of the season, theatre productions allow for constant changes up until the last moment. On average, there are six weeks to transform sketches into stage-ready garments. And yet, despite the rush, the atmosphere remains calm and collaborative. Last August, for example, the team was already working on the costumes for&nbsp;<em>Goodbye, Berlin<\/em>&nbsp;by Constanza Macras, scheduled to premiere in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with a rich historical wardrobe \u2013 overseen by Ulrike K\u00f6hler and her assistant Jasmina Knitter \u2013&nbsp;<strong>80% of the costumes are still created from scratch for each new production<\/strong>. \u201cIf the work were outsourced,\u201d K\u00f6hler explains, \u201cthe proportions would probably be reversed: 80% purchased, 10% newly made, and 10% taken from reserves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the work doesn\u2019t stop with creation. There is the&nbsp;<em>Ankleide<\/em>, the department where, every evening, costumes are cleaned of sweat, blood (real and fake), vomit, excrement, foam, and all the other substances that the Volksb\u00fchne\u2019s conceptual theatre requires. It may not be the most glamorous job, but it is indispensable for the show to go on. As Mina Fichte,&nbsp;<em>Gewandmeisterin<\/em>&nbsp;of the women\u2019s wardrobe, reminds us: \u201cMany people are involved.

<em>curated by Elena Maria Casella<\/em><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"american-gigolo-article\">The news of Giorgio Armani\u2019s passing has marked the end of an era &#8211; not only for fashion, but for that shared cultural imagination in which his style became a universal language. Among the many images he leaves behind, one belongs more to cinema than to the catwalk: Richard Gere opening a wardrobe in&nbsp;<em>American Gigolo<\/em>&nbsp;(1980), carefully browsing through Armani jackets and shirts (<em>American Gigolo \u2013 Matching Shirts &amp; Ties<\/em>). In this simple yet magnetic scene, a myth takes shape:<strong>&nbsp;the birth of the \u201cArmani man,\u201d an icon of effortless, sophisticated, and sensual elegance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"American Gigolo - Matching Shirts &amp; Ties\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MtFGzOAUzB4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armani\u2019s arrival in Hollywood with&nbsp;<em>American Gigolo<\/em>, directed by Paul Schrader (<em>trailer here: American Gigolo \u2013 Trailer<\/em>), was not merely a lucky episode of product placement. It was the sign of a profound change in the visual language of both fashion and cinema. At the dawn of the 1980s, Western society was entering a decade defined by individualism, image worship, and new forms of consumerism. Fashion stood at the very center of this transformation:&nbsp;<strong>clothing became a declaration of identity, a symbol of belonging<\/strong>&nbsp;to a certain status and community, and&nbsp;<strong>a tool for social affirmation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"American Gigolo - Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NTavf-5Mdpo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Armani\u2019s style\u2014defined by clean lines and neutral tones such as blue, sand, and gray\u2014fit perfectly within this landscape.<\/strong>&nbsp;Elegant yet restrained, refined yet discreet, it stood in stark contrast to the chromatic excess and flamboyant tailoring of the 1970s. His encounter with cinema was a natural one: Hollywood needed new codes to portray contemporary masculinity, and Armani provided them with clarity. In&nbsp;<em>American Gigolo<\/em>,&nbsp;<strong>Richard Gere became the face that embodied this aesthetic<\/strong>: the suits, the lightness of the fabrics, the purity of the lines all helped define the character of Julian Kay. On screen, we do not see a street-level gigolo but a professional navigating the upper echelons of society. The audience understands this not so much through dialogue, but through the suit itself,&nbsp;<strong>an emblem of a decade that would elevate appearance and self-care to the level of a true religion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is no coincidence that those same years saw the rise of the first supermodels and an obsessive attention to the body and luxury brands. If Gere and Armani embodied the new face of masculinity, co-star Lauren Hutton represented its feminine counterpart. Already an established actress and model, a glamour icon of the time, her presence tied the film directly to the fashion world. She was dressed by Bottega Veneta\u2014another pillar of Italian style, already synonymous with refinement and sophisticated craftsmanship. The clutch she carries throughout the film becomes an iconic accessory, perfectly expressing the idea of&nbsp;<strong>\u201cquiet luxury\u201d<\/strong>: no visible logos, no ostentation, only the unmistakable woven leather, which more than forty years later still dominates catwalks and celebrity wardrobes.&nbsp;<strong>Proof that fashion constantly reinvents itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armani and Gere on one side,&nbsp;<strong>Bottega Veneta<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Hutton<\/strong>&nbsp;on the other. Two poles, narrating male and female elegance yet united by the same vision of style. Together, they projected an image of aesthetic modernity that&nbsp;<strong>launched American cinema into dialogue with Italian fashion<\/strong>, an artistic collaboration that would shape the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even today, in environments such as&nbsp;<strong>Wall Street,<\/strong>&nbsp;a sort of dress code still persists, built on the \u201cmust-have\u201d status of certain iconic garments\u2014markers of the highest economic achievement:&nbsp;<strong>an Armani suit and Gucci loafers remain essential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We bid farewell to Giorgio Armani not only as a designer but as a visionary.<\/strong><br>His work will forever remain a point of reference, and if, as he once said, \u201celegance is not about being noticed, but about being remembered,\u201d we can certainly affirm that he achieved exactly that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong><strong><strong>MiniMyths<\/strong><\/strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/strong>&#8211;

The Future of Fashion, Where Hands Meet Heart<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"bags\"><em>by Fabrizio Modina<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"DolceGabbana\">Only industry historians have noticed that French fashion has been dead for at least a decade, as its corpse continues to be on display, festively embalmed with feathers and sequins. This happens when the entire system is in the hands of a single person, who, devouring fashion houses with a bulimic appetite, has&nbsp;<strong>decreed that fashion should no longer be about invention and evolution<\/strong>&nbsp;(and therefore also risk), but a fake logo industry, where everything must be worth less and cost more.<br>In the shadow of this Emperor, the sector in Italy is in a guarded prognosis, but is doing its best to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2469\" height=\"1389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01.jpeg 2469w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01-900x506.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana01-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2469px) 100vw, 2469px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the three historical Magi, one has abdicated, one died twenty years ago, and the last is too old to still be creatively relevant. In this bleak landscape, the work of&nbsp;<strong>Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana<\/strong>&nbsp;seems like a breath of fresh air, speaking to us of beauty, culture,&nbsp;<em>savoir-faire<\/em>, and, above all, independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s true that&nbsp;<strong>Giorgio Armani&nbsp;<\/strong>was the greatest contributor to the creation of the image and structure of Italian fashion, with Milan as the&nbsp;<em>caput mundi<\/em>&nbsp;starting in the 1980s, it&#8217;s undeniable the boost Dolce and Gabbana gave to this concept,&nbsp;<strong>shifting attention to the South and especially Sicily<\/strong>, which became their&nbsp;<em>raison d&#8217;\u00eatre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The dream of a country where beautiful men and women live, where fruit has a more intense aroma and food is a cult, where the sun and sea are eternal, and history and faith are both art<\/strong>, is the result of the decades-long work of the two designers, who, through their collections and advertising campaigns, have helped convey a&nbsp;<strong>positive image of Italy&nbsp;<\/strong>around the world, boosting not only the fashion market but tourism itself. She, he, the sea, summer, Capri: we&#8217;re lying to ourselves if we think we&#8217;re immune to this spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-900x506.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana02-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This effort to enhance the local area has become particularly effective since Dolce and Gabbana decided to dive headfirst into the High Tailoring adventure, imposing a single rule:&nbsp;<strong>no shows in Paris<\/strong>. Thus, challenging the historic (and at times arrogant) authority of the centrality of&nbsp;<em>Haute Couture<\/em>, the two embarked on an Italian Grand Tour, bringing their women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s couture catwalks to Sicily, Sardinia, Venice, and Rome, stepping out of the Palais to brighten the piazzas, breaking away from seemingly unassailable conventions. This new modus operandi inevitably involved the entire bandwagon of international front-row stars, who were invited not only to attend the shows but to&nbsp;<strong>appreciate the local beauty, serving as a trigger for a new high-end tourism that had an immediate impact on the economies of the locations involved<\/strong>. Siracusa beats the Grand Palais 10 to 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spirit that guided this&nbsp;<em>coup d&#8217;\u00e9tat<\/em>&nbsp;towards&nbsp;<em>Haute Couture<\/em>&nbsp;is clearly evident in the traveling exhibition &#8220;From the Heart to the Hands &#8211; Dolce &amp; Gabbana,&#8221; which, starting in Milan, traveled to Paris, London, and Rome, with decidedly triumphant results in terms of ticket sales. The discouragement of a system of large fashion exhibitions staged primarily in Paris and London was finally overcome thanks to a significant investment strongly supported by the two designers, not only as a retrospective of their work, but, above all, as a devoted tribute to Italy&#8217;s DNA of beauty, culture, and&nbsp;<em>savoir-faire.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" data-id=\"2839\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-900x506.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dolce_Gabbana03-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It matters little that the dresses in the Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria collections are more akin to theatrical costume than to&nbsp;<em>soir\u00e9e<\/em>: the glass of Venice and the ceramics of Caltagirone, the Doric columns of Agrigento and the velvets of La Scala, the gold of the Vatican and the dames of Florence, are placed on mannequins, becoming art that evokes art, in a millennia-long journey where the true protagonists are not Domenico and Stefano, but&nbsp;<strong>the people who wove, cut, sewed, embroidered, and painted, following their instructions<\/strong>. A&nbsp;<strong>human heritage<\/strong>&nbsp;at risk of extinction that must be protected and promoted as a top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<em>For me, Italian style is defined by three things: a sense of tradition, respect for one&#8217;s roots, and a sartorial approach to fashion<\/em>,&#8221; said Domenico Dolce in a recent interview, a perspective that, as the M-Cube Foundation and the Fashion Heritage Academy, we fully share. In the darkest moment in fashion history, where young talents are denied the opportunity to express themselves and empires are built by selling overpriced plastic bags, where newspapers tell us that &#8220;ugly&#8221; is chic and Balenciaga has become a streetwear brand, Domenico and Dolce do not give up and persevere in the pursuit of a beauty that, before its exterior, is built on historical culture and the expression of the&nbsp;<em>Genius loci<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong><strong><strong>Fashion: Professions in Transformation<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover the video talks by Fondazione M-Cube \u2014 starting from fashion, and then branching out into many other dimensions of the world of Modern Mythology!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coming this September: new episodes of&nbsp;<\/strong><em><strong>Doppia Zip<\/strong><\/em><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/en\/doppia-zip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Double Zip<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>curated by Grita<br>filming and editing by Simona Rapisarda<\/em><strong><br><br><\/strong>With&nbsp;<em>Algorithmic Aesthetics<\/em>, Grita and Fabrizio Modina invite us to reflect on how social media enters the fashion scene, reshaping it and<br>introducing new players to the game.<br>What happens to identity and meaning in the frenzy of the algorithm?<br>And where do subcultures end up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/en\/doppia-zip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Follow us so you don\u2019t miss the next episodes!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep.02 Estetiche algoritmiche - Doppia Zip\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/odhMzbFzm4c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

into a grotesque and nauseating drift. The shipwreck leads the protagonists to a deserted island where every social hierarchy is overturned, exposing the fragilities of today\u2019s capitalist system and its contemporary myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The title itself is a declaration of intent. The \u201ctriangle of sadness\u201d refers to the small frown line that forms between the eyebrows which, as cosmetic surgery reminds us, can easily be erased with a botox injection. Not by chance, the protagonist Carl, a young model, is advised to undergo this very \u201ctouch-up\u201d during a casting by one of the agents.&nbsp;<strong>Appearance becomes the first battlefield<\/strong>: the wrinkle is a metaphor for a society that cannot tolerate the signs of time or vulnerability, preferring instead to replace them with&nbsp;<strong>a simulacrum of increasingly unnatural perfection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally emblematic is the casting scene where Carl and the other models are asked to&nbsp;<strong>change their expression depending on the brand they\u2019re representing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social judgment, in fact, manifests even in the absence of fabric, projecting itself onto the body like an invisible garment. In this sense, fashion becomes a language of the unspoken; even when absent, clothing continues to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Triangle of Sadness - Official Clip - Balenciaga vs H&amp;M\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XJeYXR2hFyM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lesson of&nbsp;<em>Belle de Jour<\/em>&nbsp;still resonates today. The protagonist\u2019s restrained, minimal-chic style has influenced generations of designers and lives on in contemporary trends like the coveted \u201cold money\u201d aesthetic and a nostalgic vision of understated femininity.<br>But what makes this film truly timeless is not just its aesthetics. It is its&nbsp;<strong>power to expose<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; both literally and symbolically &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>the hypocrisy of the bourgeois world<\/strong>, and the role fashion plays in upholding or disrupting its masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luis Bu\u00f1uel and Yves Saint Laurent deliver&nbsp;<strong>a powerful reflection on who we are, what we desire, and how we\u2019re allowed to appear<\/strong>.

The \u00fcber-powerful editor of <em>Vogue America<\/em> has announced she is leaving her position as editor-in-chief after a career that began in 1988, while still taking on an \u201coverview\u201d role for all Cond\u00e9 Nast titles, especially the international editions of <em>Vogue<\/em>. In other words, she has no intention of actually retiring.<br>May I add: what a pity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1082\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna01.png\" alt=\"Anna Wintour\" class=\"wp-image-2685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna01.png 1082w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna01-900x582.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna01-768x497.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1082px) 100vw, 1082px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s one common denominator in the fashion world \u2013 and particularly in fashion journalism \u2013 it is the servility towards figures who have spent years building and cementing a centralized, egomaniacal position that doesn\u2019t always correspond to genuine professional value, especially when judged over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to be a fashion addict to know that <em>The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> \u2013 both book and film \u2013 is directly inspired by her, based on the account of one of her assistants who survived years of cruelty and abuse. On screen, Miranda Priestley, the demonic editor of <em>Runway<\/em>, amuses audiences with her Disney-stepmother wickedness. In real life, however, I challenge anyone to find anything positive in a boss who rules through a kingdom of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1324\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna03.png 1324w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna03-900x536.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna03-768x457.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1324px) 100vw, 1324px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I vividly recall one rare moment of collective clarity when she was booed in Milan a few years ago for imposing a change in the Fashion Week dates simply because they didn\u2019t fit her personal schedule. <em>Who do you think you are?<\/em> as the Spice Girls would say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So who is Anna Wintour? A genius in the history of fashion, or a master manipulator of the press devoted to her own cult of personality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, let\u2019s clarify something: if we are to identify a truly pivotal figure in this field, in the same role, that person is certainly not Anna, but Diana Vreeland. She, first at <em>Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em> and later at <em>Vogue<\/em>, shaped at least three decades of fashion aesthetics, launching the careers of couturiers, designers, photographers, and models like no one before\u2014or since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these days of career retrospectives for \u201cQueen Anna\u201d see tabloids gushing over her stroke of genius in pairing a stunning neo-Byzantine Christian Lacroix jacket with ripped jeans\u2014thus inventing modern styling\u2014very few are asking what her actual contribution to fashion storytelling has been. Which designers has she truly nurtured and launched? Four names stand out: Marc Jacobs, Thom Browne, Proenza Schouler, and Miuccia Prada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1312\" data-id=\"2686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02.png 1980w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02-900x596.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02-1920x1272.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bye_bye_anna02-1536x1018.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a teacher of fashion history, whenever I\u2019m asked to talk about Marc Jacobs, I feel a genuine sense of embarrassment. Talk about what? Which innovation? Which historical moment? Nothing but good marketing dressed up as substance. Thom Browne? Let\u2019s just point out that he\u2019s the partner of Andrew Bolton, the icy curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, who just happens to be Wintour\u2019s right hand in organizing the Met Gala. As for the utterly forgettable Proenza Schouler, I\u2019ll skip right over them and move to Miuccia Prada. When it comes to overrated names, she deserves a chapter of her own. The Devil doesn\u2019t wear Prada by chance\u2014or by choice. Quite simply, Prada bought the Devil. How furious poor Gianfranco Ferr\u00e9 was when Anna Wintour compiled a list of the world\u2019s best designers and\u2014who would have guessed\u2014Prada was the only Italian on a list dominated by Americans with a token few French. No Armani, no Versace, no Ferr\u00e9, no Valentino. A list as childish as it was dramatic, revealing a closed and non-meritocratic system built on an \u201cinner circle\u201d of chosen ones for the sake of mutual flattery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning the Met Gala into a spectacle that makes Barnum\u2019s Circus look like a premiere at La Scala has not been enough to chip away at the leaden statue, complete with bob and sunglasses. Because Anna is Anna, and she\u2019s still Anna. In an age when being cruel is \u201ccool,\u201d the Queen has reigned unchallenged, eliminating any possible rival. But what will happen if the crown now passes to someone with more talent <em>and<\/em> courtesy? Perhaps we\u2019d discover that it\u2019s the only trend that looks good on everyone\u2014even when it\u2019s out of fashion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong><strong><strong>Fashion: Professions in Transformation<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover the video talks by Fondazione M-Cube, starting from the world of fashion and then gliding into the vast universe of Modern Mythologies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Double Zip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>curated by Grita<br>filming and editing by Simona Rapisarda<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>Algorithmic Aesthetics<\/em>, Grita and Fabrizio Modina invite us to reflect on how social media enters the fashion scene, reshaping it and introducing new players to the game.<br>What happens to identity and meaning in the frenzy of the algorithm?

The film is not just a tale of repressed fantasies\u2014it is a sharp critique of bourgeois hypocrisy. Within this framework, fashion becomes once again a narrative device, and Yves Saint Laurent, who designed the protagonist\u2019s costumes, serves as its silent architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film tells the story of S\u00e9verine (played by Deneuve), a young bourgeois woman living with her doctor husband in a cocooned world of tea cups and silk robes. Yet beneath her composed surface lies an urge to rebel\u2014to break the rules of a perfectly packaged life. And so, each afternoon, she secretly visits a brothel under the pseudonym <em>Belle de Jour<\/em>.<br>Her body moves between two parallel lives, with clothing acting as a bridge between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the film, Yves Saint Laurent\u2014Deneuve\u2019s close friend and long-time collaborator\u2014created a wardrobe of striking contrasts: rigid silhouettes such as the iconic beige dress and knee-length skirt suits, juxtaposed with more provocative pieces like the famous black vinyl trench coat. Every detail narrates both bourgeois perfection and the abyss lurking beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fashion theorist Eugenia Paulicelli, in her book <em>Moda e cinema in Italia<\/em> (2020), speaks of a true synergy between fashion and cinema. In <em>Belle de Jour<\/em>, clothing is not just costume\u2014it becomes \u201cscript stitched in fabric.\u201d Saint Laurent doesn\u2019t merely dress a body; he clothes S\u00e9verine\u2019s \u201csocial persona.\u201d And when she undresses\u2014seemingly a gesture of liberation\u2014it is anything but. Even her naked body is not truly free, but remains under surveillance, still inscribed within the bourgeois code she tries to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social judgment, in fact, manifests even in the absence of fabric, projecting itself onto the body like an invisible garment. In this sense, fashion becomes a language of the unspoken; even when absent, clothing continues to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Belle de jour - Luis Bu\u00f1uel\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0nX7_48_Zs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lesson of <em>Belle de Jour<\/em> still resonates today. The protagonist\u2019s restrained, minimal-chic style has influenced generations of designers and lives on in contemporary trends like the coveted \u201cold money\u201d aesthetic and a nostalgic vision of understated femininity.<br>But what makes this film truly timeless is not just its aesthetics. It is its power to expose\u2014both literally and symbolically\u2014the hypocrisy of the bourgeois world, and the role fashion plays in upholding or disrupting its masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luis Bu\u00f1uel and Yves Saint Laurent deliver a powerful reflection on who we are, what we desire, and how we\u2019re allowed to appear. And Catherine Deneuve, icy and enigmatic, walks between these worlds with the elegance of someone wearing a secret\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>FMC \/\/ July 2025. <strong>Results and Ongoing Projects<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NEW FORMATS FOR YOU<br><\/strong>This summer, together with our collaborators, we are preparing a series of surprises for you&#8230;<br>With <strong>Angela De Marco<\/strong>, a brand-new <strong>MAGAZINE<\/strong> is on its way.<br>With <strong>Nicolas Casari<\/strong>, we are launching an all-new <strong>FILM SERIES<\/strong>.<br>And with <strong>Giorgia Casari<\/strong>, a brand-new <strong>PODCAST<\/strong> will open up a space to talk about real life, leave behind prejudices, and find the courage to engage with all the complexities of the human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/en\/superheroes-from-antiquity-to-contemporary\/\">SUPERHEROES \u2013 FROM ANTIQUITY TO CONTEMPORARY<\/a><br><\/strong>The exhibition curated by Fabrizio Modina for Fondazione M-Cube, with Federica Montani and Eugenio Martera for Contemporanea Progetti, continues with great success at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapriikki.fi\/\"> <strong>Vapriikki Museokeskus<\/strong><\/a> in Tampere, Finland.<br>A hyper-dynamic and super-pop journey through the history of heroes from the past to the present.<br>The exhibition explores the archetypes of superheroes as they appear in ancient myths and legends.

The answer is more obvious than it might seem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse_banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse_banner.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse_banner-900x450.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse_banner-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse_banner-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generations Z and Alpha, please forgive me if the musical reference in this article\u2019s title seems cryptic to you; you can probably ask a parent for clarification. I couldn\u2019t think of a better way to express the mood of disillusionment surrounding the decline of fashion over the past twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insight that brand CEOs had is actually quite simple: <strong>minimum effort, maximum (economic) return<\/strong>. So why invest capital in training expert tailors, patternmakers, and high-end ready-to-wear technicians to renew collections through creativity, genius, and quality\u2014when, with far less effort, you can sell endless quantities of mass-produced handbags with profit margins that clothing could never offer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong\u2014I have the utmost respect for the skilled professionals in the leather goods industry\u2014but I\u2019m sure even they would agree that there are <strong>significant differences<\/strong> between their type of production and that of garment-making. One of the most striking is the <strong>intrinsic function of &#8220;wearability&#8221;<\/strong> in clothing\u2014a process that requires days of teamwork, typically involving a designer, a patternmaker, a tailor, and a fit model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they assess\u2014after countless fittings\u2014whether a jacket, a pair of pants, a coat, or a dress fits well, allows for proper movement, performs well in the chosen fabric, and aligns with the production timelines and projected costs. It\u2019s a process that allows no mistakes and demands both time and skill, which means: money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here too, we could open another discussion about the proliferation\u2014especially among luxury brands\u2014of products that require almost no research investment, like t-shirts and sweatshirts sold for absurd prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1232\" height=\"872\" data-id=\"2530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse02-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse02-1.png 1232w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse02-1-900x637.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse02-1-768x544.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1232px) 100vw, 1232px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1388\" height=\"1044\" data-id=\"2531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse03-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse03-1.png 1388w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse03-1-900x677.png 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Borse03-1-768x578.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1388px) 100vw, 1388px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, even though producing a high-quality handbag takes time, it will <strong>never compare<\/strong> to the time and complexity required for garments\u2014or even footwear. A bag must be durable, practical, aesthetically pleasing, and made of good materials. <strong>But that\u2019s it\u2014it doesn&#8217;t have to be \u201cworn\u201d in the same sense.<\/strong><br>Maybe a few of you have noticed (very few), but <strong>for over a decade<\/strong>, brands have been removing their clothing collections from storefront displays, replacing them with dazzling handbag arrangements. In glossy magazine spreads and online campaigns, <strong>bags have taken center stage<\/strong>, while everything else has faded into the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little by little, <strong>fashion has disappeared<\/strong>. The desire to invent and create has dulled. The urge to buy a beautiful outfit has faded. A terrible idea has taken hold among consumers (not just women): <strong>a pricey handbag is enough to look amazing\u2014the rest is irrelevant.<br><\/strong> And that\u2019s how we destroyed pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter. It\u2019s no coincidence that in the past 20 years, the great minds of haute couture have all but vanished, replaced by empires of companies that built their core business around leather goods. Others, in order to survive, had to adapt\u2014completely losing their tailoring identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, finally (and rather late), <strong>social media is buzzing with the revelation<\/strong> that those beloved luxury handbags are <strong>not worth their price<\/strong>.<br>I\u2019ve been telling my students this for fifteen years\u2014what a relief! I feel less alone now. Angry customers are discovering that their cherished treasures aren\u2019t even made of leather, but of plastic. That they weren\u2019t made in France or Italy. That the expensive dream they bought wasn\u2019t real. Even if made with the finest leather in the world, <strong>a handbag should never cost more than a car<\/strong>. And now (almost) everyone has realized that the difference between an original and a fake is practically zero.<br>If it weren\u2019t so funny, it would be almost shocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember one of the many spats between <strong>Sergio Marchionne<\/strong>, CEO of Fiat, and <strong>Diego Della Valle<\/strong>, CEO of Hogan and Tod\u2019s. Marchionne once pointed out that with the same amount Della Valle invested in R&amp;D for a whole year, he could buy a bumper. Blunt\u2014but accurate.<br>I was recently in Florence, the heart of Italy\u2019s leathercraft tradition, and was happy to see <strong>so many small brands proudly holding on<\/strong>, focusing on true material quality and strict Made in Italy craftsmanship. No logos, just real strength and heritage.<br>Those are the brands we should look to when we want to buy a truly good bag\u2014<strong>at a fair price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe, slowly, <strong>the tide is turning<\/strong>. Even in the U.S. and China\u2014where the ultra-wealthy control the rise and fall of brand revenues\u2014there are signs of more conscious consumer behavior.<br>The commodification of the \u201cdream\u201d is ending. It&#8217;s time for <strong>substance<\/strong>.<br>Top female finance managers, for example, are reportedly less inclined to spend tens of thousands of dollars on accessories. As financial advisors themselves, they feel they must lead by example when it comes to cutting unnecessary, extravagant expenses.<br>Who knows\u2014maybe soon, even those who proudly brag on TikTok about buying a \u20ac70,000 handbag will no longer be seen as \u201csuper cool,\u201d<br>but simply for what they really are: <strong>complete idiots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>Fashion, a passion across generations<\/strong><\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M-Cube Foundation launches two new video talk formats that start with fashion\u2014and then glide into much more\u2026 exploring the realms of <em>Modern Mythology<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Red Velvet Talks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>curated by Elena Maria Casella<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>filming and editing by Simona Rapisarda<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Not a lecture.

In this third installment, we turn our attention to a timeless cult classic of American independent cinema: <em>Buffalo \u201866<\/em> (1998), written, directed by, and starring Vincent Gallo\u2014a controversial and iconic figure who, with this debut, carved out a new archetype for the modern \u201cmisfit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Buffalo 66&#039; Blu-ray Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1duitd-N1Us?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set among deserted bowling alleys, diners, and faded motels, <em>Buffalo \u201866<\/em> tells the tragicomic story of two solitary souls who brush up against each other\u2014and eventually connect. The film offers a visual aesthetic that has influenced fashion deeply, making its mark on both runways and Instagram feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story follows Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo), a neurotic man just released from prison, caught between a past of mistakes and a present built on lies. To avoid disappointing his parents\u2014who believe he\u2019s become a successful man\u2014he kidnaps tap dancer Layla (a magnetic Christina Ricci), forcing her to pretend to be his wife during a family visit. From that moment on, <em>Buffalo \u201866<\/em> becomes an escape from reality: an urban road movie made of silences and lingering glances, set in a desaturated, frozen suburbia\u2014a backdrop that serves a visual language powerful enough to transcend time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vincent Gallo personally curated the film\u2019s costumes: Billy\u2019s worn bomber jackets, shapeless sweatshirts, and faded jeans portray a wounded masculinity, one that expresses its marginality through anti-glamour pieces in shades of grey and black. The iconic coral-red boots, which pop throughout the film, seem to represent that internal scream, that open wound\u2014a detail betraying his desire to break free from a cold and hostile world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Layla, meanwhile, floats beside Billy in her babydoll dress, soft white cardigan, and glitter shoes\u2014a true melancholic, disarmed <em>coquette girl<\/em>. It\u2019s a style now gone viral on TikTok and deeply embedded in the visual world of artists like Lana Del Rey, evoking an ultra-feminine, dreamy, timeless essence.<br>One unforgettable moment comes in the photo booth scene, where Layla and Billy pose for a series of instant snapshots. It\u2019s partly thanks to this scene that the current love for Polaroids and vintage aesthetics\u2014celebrated by brands like Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu\u2014finds an authentic origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"688\" data-id=\"2534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-football.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-football.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-football-900x484.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-football-768x413.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"495\" data-id=\"2535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-bowling.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2535\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-id=\"2536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-1-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Buffalo-66-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there\u2019s American football\u2014Billy\u2019s obsession and psychological wound. This sports universe permeates the entire film and echoes today in fashion\u2019s reimagining of &#8217;90s sportswear with new codes: oversized jackets, college logos, baggy tracksuits, football jerseys reinterpreted through a genderless lens. Brands like Martine Rose, Balenciaga, Acne Studios, and other emerging labels draw directly from this suburban, nostalgic aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, <em>Buffalo \u201866<\/em> reminds us that fashion doesn\u2019t need catwalks\u2014it\u2019s built through details and in the lives of everyday people. This is a film that proves fashion speaks everywhere, even in the frozen streets of Buffalo. <em>Buffalo \u201866<\/em> becomes an urban fairytale, where fashion dresses the vulnerability of two souls who meet by chance\u2014and who, in that absurd encounter, may just find the strength to start again.<br>A timeless tenderness that still inspires\u2014and resonates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>FMC \/\/ June 2025.

How do you choose what to wear?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When we talk about fashion, our perspective is often one-directional in terms of space and time &#8211; but the world we live in is not.<br>Our era is made up of many different bodies, all seeking beauty &#8211; or rather, the ability to attract relationships, of any kind, with other living beings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MET Gala itself opens this space-time window, with the theme&nbsp;<strong>\u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style\u201d<\/strong>\u2014inspired by the concept of Black dandyism\u2014exploring how style and clothing have contributed to shaping Black identity throughout the Atlantic diaspora, from the 18th century to today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bodies across different ethnicities vary enormously, just as the concept of beauty does<\/strong>: soft and abundant shapes, lean and towering figures, petite and delicate frames like porcelain dolls, natural or sculpted musculature on display, long necks and slender hands, hips and backsides seemingly born to dance, skins that cover the full spectrum of the rainbow, with gradients from milky white to a black that blends with the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While models like&nbsp;<strong>Adut Akech<\/strong>&nbsp;(South Sudan\/Australia),&nbsp;<strong>Halima Aden<\/strong>&nbsp;(Somalia\/USA), and&nbsp;<strong>Paloma Elsesser<\/strong>&nbsp;(USA) are bringing more diversity to the runways, and some ad campaigns now include people of all ages, shapes, and ethnic backgrounds (e.g., Rihanna\u2019s Fenty Beauty), and more brands are expanding their size ranges to include plus, petite, and tall options, it remains a challenge to truly imagine all possible body shapes and the complexity of designing garments that can honor our diverse identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This challenge also applies to bodies that fall outside of standard sizing for other reasons: diet, illness, lifestyle rhythms, or personal fears all influence our bodies and our appearance.&nbsp;<strong>In a global society swinging between high rates of both anorexia and obesity<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>between bodies that have undergone surgery and transformation, the question remains: how can fashion help create a positive offering and message\u2014one that could truly be a game changer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"514\" height=\"552\" data-id=\"2356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/corpi.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2356\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"582\" height=\"836\" data-id=\"2357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/corpi_dipinti.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2357\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"538\" height=\"748\" data-id=\"2358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Fashion_in_the_Metaverse.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2358\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And beyond sizes, in our everyday lives we encounter&nbsp;<strong>scars, tattoos, vitiligo<\/strong>\u2014<strong>bodies that carry incredible stories<\/strong>. In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilsaggiatore.com\/libro\/corpi-dipinti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Corpi dipinti<\/em>,<\/a>, Matt Lodder introduces us to humanity through 21 tattoos. \u201cBy observing the marks that humans have etched onto their skin,\u201d he explains, \u201cwe can understand people, places, and historical moments. The body is a blank canvas we&#8217;ve learned to paint on, carve into, color\u2014making it a bearer of messages and a witness to our earthly existence.<br>The urgency to communicate through signs is a fundamental human trait, and few art forms have the immediacy and intimacy of a tattoo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Necklines, cut-outs, sheer fabrics: it is through the bodies of&nbsp;<strong>Damiano David, Blanco, Mahmood, Lil Nas X, Harry Styles<\/strong>\u2014but also through<strong>&nbsp;all of us<\/strong>, who carry indelible marks traced out of love, loyalty, rebellion, or simple fun\u2014that today\u2019s fashion designers must engage when creating a garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge becomes even greater when the body doesn\u2019t appear as we might expect. Bodies with&nbsp;<strong>disabilities<\/strong>&nbsp;have long elicited fear and horror, fueling phobias and prejudices, and still today evoke conflicting emotions, sometimes leaving us awkward in how we relate and connect with those perceived as \u201coutside the norm\u201d or \u201cmissing something.\u201d In 2019, to celebrate Barbie\u2019s 60th anniversary, Mattel dedicated a doll (in sporty, elegant, and casual versions) to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bebevio.com\/academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Bebe Vio<\/strong><\/a>, Paralympic fencing champion, as part of the &#8220;Shero&#8221; project\u2014a move to break barriers and stereotypes and to inspire future generations. Far from hiding her prosthetics, Bebe appeared on the cover of&nbsp;<em>Vanity Fair<\/em>&nbsp;alongside Federica Pellegrini, in a visionary shot by artist Maurizio Cattelan. She walked the runway at Milan Fashion Week wearing knee-high pink boots decorated with the face of Jigglypuff, a Pok\u00e9mon character, and graced the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in dresses designed by Dior to&nbsp;<strong>highlight her prosthetics and celebrate authentic beauty and inclusivity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blind and visually impaired young people we meet at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/sperimentare-senza-vedere-workshop-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MART in Rovereto<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/fmc-con-neeeu-a-sightcity-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Sight City<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;in Frankfurt\u2014through workshops organized by the M-Cube Foundation to develop inclusive products and services &#8211; are<strong>&nbsp;invited to explore a range of fabrics through touch and smell, and to listen to the stories behind them, like that of denim<\/strong>. They are also encouraged to design garments and define their features and details &#8211; elements that will help them recognize their own clothes in the wardrobe and fall in love with them, even if they cannot see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, we find ourselves in conversation<strong>&nbsp;in Berlin with one of the most vibrant and fascinating Queer communities<\/strong>, which opens up another important topic. We attend events where international&nbsp;<strong>body positive and body neutrality movements&nbsp;<\/strong>promote the acceptance of all body types without rigid aesthetic standards. Their idea of the &#8220;<strong>body as home<\/strong>&#8221; helps us better understand how the body is not just a physical shell, but the primary site of experience, identity, and relationships with the world.&nbsp;<strong>These are transformed bodies, bodies in flux, sometimes simply dressed or narrated differently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s designers are called to engage with cultural and social constructs more than with fixed biological realities<\/strong>\u2014with a ritual that requires time and care, rather than just a routine. The way a queer person dresses, wears makeup, or styles their hair follows no fixed rules: it is a personal, political, and artistic expression manifested through a multitude of practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From this have emerged the logics and trends of&nbsp;<strong>drag culture<\/strong>\u2014as parody, celebration, or exaggeration of gender\u2014but also&nbsp;<strong>genderless\/agender fashion, camp and theatricality \u00e0 la Susan Sontag, and styles such as punk, rave, club kid, gothic, \u201890s, or Y2K<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, we land in the&nbsp;<strong>Metaverses&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>video games<\/strong>, because the M-Cube Foundation is currently developing three of them. Here, fashion dresses immaterial, multiform bodies\u2014constantly evolving and undergoing metamorphosis.&nbsp;<strong>Bradley Quinn<\/strong>, in his book&nbsp;<em><strong>Fashion in the Metaverse<\/strong><\/em>, helps us better understand the present moment\u2014between augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, AI, and blockchain\u2014where technological innovations are inspiring designers, brands, and consumers to think beyond conventional clothing in the physical world and to create new relationships with digital garments within 3D virtual spaces. In this realm, where new professions are taking shape, the&nbsp;<em>fashion artist<\/em>&nbsp;has a secured place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We still have much to learn, and the landscape ahead is certainly challenging, but&nbsp;<strong>these are the many expressions of fashion that, together with the M-Cube Foundation, we aim to explore and bring to life through the<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/fha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Fashion Heritage Academy<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong>The Fashion Heritage Academy and the New Professions<\/strong><\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The M-Cube Foundation<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;launches the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/en\/fha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Fashion Heritage Academy<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;with three two-year professional training courses, each totaling 2,600 hours.

As Guadagnino himself states, it is \u201ct<strong>he story of an impossibility within possibility<\/strong>,\u201d of a deep longing for connection and tenderness, and the repression of that very desire out of fear of recognizing oneself in something unknown and therefore frightening.<br>With&nbsp;<em>Queer<\/em>, we are thrown into a rundown Mexico City, a murky territory where clothing becomes the battleground for unstable identities and unconfessable desires.&nbsp;<em><strong>Queer<\/strong><\/em><strong>&nbsp;invites us to reflect on how, once again, cinema uses fashion not merely as decoration to evoke an imagery but as a true language to tell stories of inner decay, ambiguity, and the unsaid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this occasion, Luca Guadagnino creates a work that both seduces and unsettles, and not only because of the power of the story. The film weaves period&nbsp;<strong>aesthetics with a touch of surrealism<\/strong>, shaping a vision halfway between dream and reality, tradition and modernity. Set in the 1950s, it takes place during the height of the American boom, which gave rise to a modern and mass-produced men\u2019s wardrobe rooted in European tailoring traditions.&nbsp;<strong>Bringing this vision to life in the costumes is Jonathan Anderson&nbsp;<\/strong>(British designer, founder of the brand JW Anderson, former creative director of Loewe, and current creative director of Dior Homme), who had previously collaborated with the director on&nbsp;<em>Challengers<\/em>&nbsp;(2024).<br>While in&nbsp;<em>Challengers<\/em>&nbsp;the designer aimed to recreate the tennis imagery where brand display is fundamental, in&nbsp;<em>Queer<\/em>&nbsp;Anderson takes on the challenge of&nbsp;<strong>reconstructing an authentic wardrobe from those years, where every fold, fabric, and color becomes part of a larger narrative, where the surface reflects the hidden turmoil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"981\" data-id=\"2346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4.Queer_whiteshirt-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4.Queer_whiteshirt-1.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/4.Queer_whiteshirt-1-675x900.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"440\" data-id=\"2347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6.Queer_Abitiscuri.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2347\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1038\" data-id=\"2348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Challengers_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Challengers_10.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Challengers_10-900x487.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Challengers_10-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fondazionemcube.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Challengers_10-1536x830.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symbolic indeed is Lee\u2019s cream-colored linen suit (played by Daniel Craig), which gradually becomes wrinkled and stained, visually narrating the character\u2019s descent into the abyss of drug addiction. Similarly, the shirt\u2014pure white like cocaine\u2014becomes dirtied and darkened throughout the film as the protagonist falls deeper into heroin. Meanwhile, the beloved and elusive Eugene (played by Drew Starkey) floats lightly in airy shirts, fine knitwear, and wide trousers that keep him always just out of reach, a symbol of unattainable desire.<br>\u201cI wanna talk to you without speaking,\u201d says Lee. We don\u2019t know if he succeeds, but in&nbsp;<em>Queer<\/em>,&nbsp;<strong>the image certainly speaks louder than anything else<\/strong>, thanks also to the hand of cinematographer&nbsp;<strong>Sayombhu Mukdeeprom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already known for having handled the cinematography of much of Guadagnino\u2019s filmography,&nbsp;<strong>Mukdeeprom<\/strong>&nbsp;is an artist capable of&nbsp;<strong>turning every shot into a painting<\/strong>&nbsp;that breathes on its own. Every scene becomes a pictorial fragment suspended between the real and the dreamlike: the sweat on the skin, the wrinkled fabrics, the shadows that consume faces. Everything speaks, everything builds a sensory imaginary that drags us into the abyss alongside the protagonists.<br>The film reminds us that the real scandal is not the naked body, but the soul that lets itself be glimpsed. It is there, in that exposed vulnerability, that&nbsp;<em>Queer<\/em>&nbsp;finds its disruptive strength. And it does so with an aesthetic that seduces and destabilizes at the same time, capable of attracting the gaze only to then tear it away, leaving us disoriented and, perhaps, a little changed. At the end of the viewing, there remains the sensation of having crossed a feverish dream where nothing is as it seems and everything tells a deeper truth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>FMC \/\/ May 2025.

The creation of Facis, a company dedicated to mass-produced men&#8217;s clothing, later expanded into the colossal Gruppo Finanziario Tessile (GFT), brought Piedmont to the top of Italian fashion manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During<strong> GFT&#8217;s heyday in the 1980s and 1990s<\/strong>, the company produced some of the most important brands in the Italian and French fashion design scene, including <strong>Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro and Claude Montana<\/strong>. The bankruptcy of GFT in the late 1990s, however, decreed the collapse of the entire Piedmontese production sector, which counted<strong> hundreds of the Group&#8217;s satellite tailoring workers<\/strong> scattered throughout the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the gradual decline of the sector,<strong> the high-end manufacturing DNA of Turin and Piedmont has survived<\/strong> over time and much of the know-how has not been totally lost.<br>Confirmation of this are the production hubs of the <strong>Kering Group (Gucci, Saint-Laurent, McQueen) <\/strong>and the<strong> Valentino and Versace brands<\/strong>, which have recently settled in the region and are continuing to expand. All these companies are looking for an intangible heritage that, far from design &#8211; now totally settled in Milan &#8211; is identified in the figures of dressmakers, pattern makers and other textile workers from high training schools.<br>The possibility opened up by the Fashion Heritage Academy to also explore fashion in the digital and technological world, lays the foundations for an interesting collaboration with the Turin Competence Centre and the FABLAB network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expected impact, the profiles we form<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M-Cube Foundation aims to respond to the demands of an increasingly global market, but at the same time increasingly impoverished in terms of human skills and expertise. <strong>In an era in which AI and robotics are conquering important spaces<\/strong> not only in production but also in creative processes, <strong>it becomes essential to train minds and hands so that the art and inspiration of which we are capable is not lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fashion Heritage Academy will make it possible <strong>to establish important partnerships with companies already operating in the fashion industry<\/strong>, but also <strong>to dialogue with international brands <\/strong>and, above all,<strong> to rethink the \u2018craft of fashion\u2019<\/strong>, looking at it from new perspectives, discovering new materials, logics and approaches. The teaching of <strong>English language and \u2018body knowledge\u2019<\/strong> aims to open new professional bridges, capable of crossing cultures (East and West), ages, aesthetics or what is perceived as disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Fashion Heritage Academy will allow internships at companies<\/strong>, thanks to partnerships signed with the aim of supporting the response to real market needs and the training of coherent professional profiles. At the same time, the relationship with companies will allow the <strong>knowledge and innovation developed at an experimental level<\/strong> in the Fashion Heritage Academy &#8211; a real sandbox &#8211; to be transferred to them together with students and professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The view of the future<\/strong> is made particularly solid through the course in Digital Fashion: with only a few high-level units already active on this subject in the world,<strong> the Academy will bring international skills and expertise to Turin<\/strong>, and with them fundamental input to stimulate innovation and leadership in the Piedmont region as well. Fashion linked to technology and the digital worlds, opens up a further front of collaboration with companies operating today in the world of <strong>platforms, video games, online fashion shows and metaverse<\/strong>, often in search of skills still to be built.<br>Finally, the Fashion Heritage Academy will offer professionals in the sector who have already been trained, the possibility of access to specialised modules, functional to <strong>enhance their skills or to think about redefining their operations <\/strong>in the new chains of this sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>Fashion through the big screen: <\/strong><em>Funny Face<\/em><\/strong> (<em>by Maria Elena Casella<\/em>)<\/div><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"Funny-article\">Today sees the start of the new<strong> <em>Cinema\/TV<\/em> section: a look at the world of fashion through the screens.<\/strong> In this new <strong>monthly appointment<\/strong> we will explore together the<strong> intersection between fashion and media, analysing films and TV series that have marked (and continue to mark) the way we see the world. <\/strong>We will see <strong>how moving images narrate and construct our visual culture, leaving a mark on our collective imagination<\/strong>. We begin this journey with a timeless classic that redefined elegance and turned Paris into a catwalk:<em> <\/em><strong><em>Funny Face <\/em>(1957) by Stanley Donen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Funny Face - Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-Cs0jxxu_Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the age of Instagram and TikTok, where trends are born and die in the space of a post, some styles stand the test of time. Think of the all-black look, the oversized coat or the timeless appeal of chic Paris &#8211; all of which the film<em> Funny Face<\/em> helped to make iconic. But why does a film from over 60 years ago continue to inspire stylists, photographers and influencers? The answer lies in the perfect <strong>combination of cinema, fashion and art.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Funny Face <\/em>is much more than a musical comedy: it is a <strong>manifesto of timeless elegance.<\/strong> The film marks <strong>one of the most famous collaborations between cinema and haute couture<\/strong>, thanks to the <strong>meeting between Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy<\/strong>. The French designer, who had already created the actress&#8217;s refined style in <em>Sabrina <\/em>(1954), on this occasion signed some of the most iconic looks, from the cocktail dress to the sumptuous red gown sported at the Louvre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the magic of the film does not stop with Givenchy&#8217;s clothes and the costumes of the great Edith Head: <em>Funny Face<\/em> is a<strong> tribute to the legendary photographer Richard Avedon<\/strong>, the creator of the quantum leap in fashion photography that went from static to dynamic storytelling, taking models out of studios and setting the shots in urban contexts. A similar approach is evident in the film: fashion is not only exhibited, but \u2018\u2019lives\u2019\u2019 in the most emblematic places in Paris. It is no coincidence that it is Richard Avedon himself who curates the film&#8217;s promotional images, consolidating the link between cinema, fashion and photography.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <em>Funny Face<\/em>, fashion becomes an integral part of the narrative. The entire plot revolves around the fashion industry and Paris becomes the ideal backdrop for an inner transformation and more. The protagonist, Jo Stockton (played by Audrey Hepburn), initially appears with a simple look &#8211; cigarette trousers, black turtleneck and ballet shoes &#8211; but is soon sucked into the glamour of haute couture. <strong>Fashion becomes the language<\/strong> through which Jo expresses a new awareness of herself and the world she is living in. Every scene is designed to enhance the communicative power of clothes. From hyper-stylized photographic sets to improvised fashion shows in key locations in Paris.<strong> The film celebrates fashion as art, dream and<\/strong><strong><em> status symbol<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a technical point of view, Stanley Donen exploits Technicolor to enhance fabrics, colours and volumes, turning <em>Funny Face<\/em> into a real fashion magazine in motion. Emblematic is the famous \u2018\u2019Think Pink\u2019\u2019 sequence which celebrates colour as a symbol of energy, modernity and seduction. The sequence also brings with it <strong>a deeper reflection on the fashion world and the problem of trend creation and diffusion<\/strong>: the scene sees the fashion magazine editor (played by Kay Thompson) complaining about the low quality of the next issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2669 Think Pink!(Funny Face, 1957)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LbxXA70gvrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is she who is the creator and promoter of a new style and who determines how the American woman (the modern woman) should dress in order to be considered stylish, fashionable and up-to-date. The creation of a trend implies a power of persuasion that goes beyond clothing: it is a true construction of an identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this perspective, the magazine is the medium through which the trend (the colour pink in this case) is imposed by an elite and subsequently adopted and reproduced by the masses. Fashion, therefore, is no longer just an act of individual expression, but becomes a <strong>process of social production<\/strong>, a power game in which artistic direction and cultural influence define what is \u2018\u2019modern\u2019\u2019, \u2018\u2018cool\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019trendy\u2019\u2019.&nbsp; In an era where trends are born and die out quickly on social media, where the content that appears to us on Instagram and TikTok dictates trends and consumes them in record time, <em>Funny Face <\/em>invites us to reflect on how, although trends may change and media evolve, the mechanism of fashion production and distribution as a language remains surprisingly similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film continues to remind us that <strong>behind every trend there is a vision, an idea and an act of creation <\/strong>that can cross decades and stand the test of time, and this is also thanks to the help of cinema, a special space where fashion can establish itself as art, culture and language capable of settling desires and visions. And precisely because it works with the moving image, cinema is able to give fashion <strong>not only a form, but also a soul,<\/strong> something that runaway trends, however viral, can hardly build.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item\"><summary class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-accordion-item__title\"><div><strong><strong>FMC \/\/ <\/strong>April<strong> 2025.

Over the past hundred years, comic artists and writers have created ever more incredible worlds, starting from a medium originally conceived for children&#8217;s entertainment, then evolving into an original means of expression and a contemporary art form.<br>Starting in September 2024 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comic-con.org\/museum\/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAABgQqa2k-rp0-OMpWOHZGwHzT5-fX&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw_JzABhC2ARIsAPe3ynrd1tlcX_NNRFy6RHWZrNh7RIYuZZ1sSEytuZFdwgPOHDQ8vd_OEJYaAmEjEALw_wcB\">Comic-Con Museum<\/a>&nbsp; in <strong>San Diego (U.S.A.)<\/strong>, \u201cThe Myth of Superheroes\u201d moves in May to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapriikki.fi\/\">Vapriikki Museokeskus<\/a> in <strong>Tampere, Finland<\/strong>, and then continues its journey around the world in other museums to be defined.<strong><br><\/strong><br><strong>SUPERHEROES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition simply titled <strong>\u201cSuperheroes\u201d<\/strong>, curated by Alain Bieber at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrw-forum.de\/en\/\">NRW Forum<\/a> in <strong>D\u00fcsseldorf (Germany)<\/strong>, has a more pop and playful approach than \u201cThe Myth of Superheroes\u201d, with<strong> loans from Fabrizio Modina\u2019s collection<\/strong>.
