PINK PALACE Luxury Italian footwear brand Aquazzura has opened a new flagship store in Milan. Located in the heart of the city’s fashion district, the boutique is a refined reflection of the brand’s elegant aesthetic. The décor evokes the glamour of the 1970s, with plush velvet furniture, grey marble floor and an impeccably crafted Murano glass chandelier. The pale pink colour scheme is complemented by a monochrome-striped ceiling and a feature wall decorated with metallic scales which evoke Aquazzura’s signature golden pineapple motif. The boutique will offer the latest collections as well as signature styles and tailor-made services. In keeping with quintessential Milanese bravura, at the Milan flagship Aquazzura ensures an Instagram-friendly backdrop for your footwear purchases. rre Aquazzura, Via Sant’Andrea 12, 20121 Milan, +39 02 8352 0312, aquazzura.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 96

For autumn/winter 2018/19, Swiss brand Bally decided to go back to basics, focusing on impeccably made shoes, leather goods and sports-luxe clothing. While its native Switzerland provides the influence for shearling-lined padded jackets and archival logos, Milan has breathed new life into the label. Bally recently opened new offices in the city, in a building that was previously a cinema and, before that, a theatre. The heroes and heroines of the silver screen have certainly cast a spell on the latest collection, with 1970s-inspired silhouettes and a vintage palette of dusty rose and ochre offered for both women and men. When we went to press, the Bally store on Via Montenapoleone was being renovated; the store’s temporary address is on Via Pietro Verri (see below). lt Bally, Via Pietro Verri 5, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7600 8406, bally.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 96 Save up to 15.5% by shopping tax free, see page 114

Back in the 1970s, Bottega Veneta’s motto was ‘When Your Own Initials Are Enough’, alluding to its distaste for flashy branding in favour of the simplicity of a monogram. This year, in a move that honours its roots, the brand launches a new personalisation service. Available across a range of men’s and women’s products, including bags, small leather goods and notebooks, the service offers complimentary embossing and stamping, as well as a premium stitching option, all allowing customers to truly make each Bottega Veneta purchase their own. lt Bottega Veneta, Via Sant’Andrea 15, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7787 8115, bottegaveneta.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 96 Save up to 15.5% by shopping tax free, see page 114

21ST-CENTURY TAILORING This season, Brioni’s first female creative director Nina-Maria Nitsche, formerly of Maison Martin Margiela, brings a fresh perspective to men’s ready-to-wear at the label: the autumn/winter 2018/19 collection offers sartorial style to the modern man about town. Respecting Brioni’s revered tailoring DNA but adding a contemporary twist, Nitsche has updated key menswear staples for the 21st century. The classic tuxedo is given a double breast and reinterpreted in a shade of rich brown, a nylon puffer undercoat is transformed by the use of lighter leather, and cashmere replaces the lambswool felt of a peacoat. Exquisite accessories round out the offering. With looks made for travel, daytime and after dark, this season’s collection keeps the Brioni traditions close while driving the brand forward with the utmost poise. rre Brioni, Via Gesù 2A, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7639 0086, brioni.com

Green Bubble and No Rules, the latest fragrances from Jusbox, would make imaginative souvenirs of your trip to Milan. In keeping with the brand’s mission to create fragrances inspired by music, the latter of the two creations is a fitting homage to punk rock. No Rules (78ml, €160) was created by perfumer Antoine Lie, who opted for a base of leather mixed with metal notes reminiscent of the safety pins and jacket studs that symbolise the anarchic musical movement. Lavender sits at the heart of the fragrance, a wistful tribute to punk rock’s British origins. Green Bubble, in contrast, is an eau de parfum dedicated to reggae. Whatever your musical tastes, these scents will bring harmony to your dressing table. grc

A FAMILY AFFAIR For the Trussardi Jeans women’s collection this season, creative director Gaia Trussardi injects her signature contemporary urban aesthetic with references to her childhood, in particular her family home. A dash of 1970s style runs throughout, both in the rich autumnal colour scheme and via flared jeans, fleece-edged leather jackets and fringing. Florals are inspired by the eponymous family’s beautiful garden, while the Trussardi Jeans logo adds a graphic edge to standout accessories. The men’s collection also features this emblem, on blazers that capture the brand’s signature preppy style, and also on relaxed sweatshirts and a rock music-inspired leather jacket. Men should be sure to explore the label’s outerwear this season; edgy and modern, it retains the smart-casual cool that Trussardi Jeans is known for. hl Trussardi Jeans, Galleria San Carlo/Corso Europa 6, 20122 Milan, +39 02 783909, trussardi.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 93

This year Vhernier celebrates the 20th anniversary of one of its best-known jewellery pieces: the Calla necklace. To mark the occasion, the Milanese company is unveiling new versions of this famously sculptural piece. When it was created, the Calla stood out for its unusual use of materials – ebony in particular – and the commemorative designs continue to play with materials and colour.

INFINITELY STYLISH Ottod’ame has opened its second boutique in Milan. Located in the Brera district, a bohemian neighbourhood known for its connections to the art world, the Italian brand’s new flagship has a similarly relaxed and quirky vibe. The store, decorated in pink and sandy tones with gold accents, resembles a well-curated studio space. The Ottod’ame collections take retro prints and silhouettes

and style them in a modern way, while never sacrificing quality: sumptuous, tactile materials can be found across cosy knits, midi-dresses and structural bags. Ottod’ame is the Italian for ‘eight women’ and the number eight has become a powerful motif for the brand: its logo is the infinity symbol, which resembles a rotated figure eight. fm Ottod’ame, Via Solferino 1, Milan, +39 02 6379 3729, ottodame.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 106

A MOVE TO THE COUNTRY Scandinavian brands are known for their ability to mix the functional with the beautiful, and the latest womenswear collection from Swedish catwalk label Acne Studios is the perfect example of this. Creative director Jonny Johansson was inspired by creatives who move from the city to the countryside; his collection is an imagining of their wardrobe, a balance of romance and practicality. Layering was key on the catwalk, where Johansson combined loose shapes, delicate fabrics, pleats and florals with appliqué pieces, creating a comfortable yet highly feminine look. Styling highlighted the versatility of the pieces. A light trench coat in a soft red-orange shade of rust would be perfect for autumn or even spring, yet layered over a polo neck and topped with a thick, striped, oversized scarf it becomes winter attire. Artistic yet wearable is a tricky balance to achieve, but Acne Studios makes it look effortless. hl Acne Studios, Piazza del Carmine 6, 20121 Milan, +39 02 8410 2383, acnestudios.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 106

AN EXPLOSIVE COMBINATION Inspired by the modern woman who travels between different urban jungles in winter, Mr & Mrs Italy presents the bomber parka. Designed by Londonbased Italian creative Antonio Berardi, the pictured two-tone hybrid jacket (€2,200) has embellished jacquard stamp-style patches and studded branding, blending his refined roots with the edginess of his current home. The jacket combines the practicality of Mr & Mrs Italy’s classic parka – loved by Rihanna and Cara Delevingne – with the bold attitude of a bomber, making it perfect for city life. Contrasting vintage cotton canvas fabric with nylon, the coat is a statement piece that is greater than the sum of its parts. rre

IN STORE: PATRIZIA PEPE Patrizia Pepe is a mainstay for the modern woman. Its elegant, feminine designs have been prominent on the Italian fashion scene since the brand was founded in Florence in 1993 and, with the introduction of menswear in 2005 and childrenswear in 2007, it has since gone from strength to strength. Lucinda Turner caught up with co-founder and creative director Patrizia Bambi to discuss style, glitter sneakers and collaborations with global stars

‘A

long with my innate passion for fashion and drive for creativity, the inspiration behind Patrizia Pepe is the female universe, which inspires my work every day,’ co-founder and creative director Patrizia Bambi remarks. ‘Patrizia Pepe is a mix of style and attitude designed to make you always feel at ease and comfortable.’ When it comes to her muse, Bambi is clear. ‘The Patrizia Pepe woman is a strong and consistent woman, living on the border between urban sophistication and irreverent sensuality. She’s bold and brave, and she knows where she stands. She is not afraid to be ironic or unconventional, as she’s unconditionally free and independent.’ For the autumn/winter 2018/19 collection the brand once again meets the needs of its ultimately diverse muse, ‘playing with different styles and references. Menswearinspired micro geometries appear next to sensual transparencies, timeless monochromes alternate with sparkling textures, tailored elegance is reinvented through seductive cuts and sporty touches.’ The Patrizia Pepe Milan flagship opened in 2011 and Bambi oversaw every element of the space’s design. ‘I pay the utmost attention to our stores as they represent the beating heart of our direct relationship with our clients

and followers,’ she explains. When it came to the location itself there was no question. ‘Via Manzoni stands right in the centre of the city, surrounded by historical theatres, business offices, contemporary art galleries and the secret gardens of centuries-old buildings. I feel that somehow this street symbolises Patrizia Pepe’s multiple inspirations from art, music, culture and street-style vibrations.’ What’s next for the brand that has become so ingrained in the consciousness of Italian fashion? ‘The future holds a constant quest for creativeness and innovation,’ says Bambi. ‘We will continue to shape diversified collections and contents to be even more inspiring and aspirational, also through exclusive initiatives and collaborations with the world of music.’ Examples include projects with singer Dua Lipa. Customers can discover the very best of the new collection in the Via Manzoni store. According to Bambi there is one particularly perfect combination to look out for. ‘The embellished bomber or leather jackets, the floral dresses, the Love shoulder bags and the glitter sneakers!’ Patrizia Pepe, Via Alessandro Manzoni 38, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7601 4477, patriziapepe.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 101

What is it about the Made in Italy label that sets footwear fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hearts racing? One small town may hold the answers, as Lucinda Turner discovers

60 | F E AT U R E S

talian footwear is admired across the globe and many discerning customers, whether they are perusing the high-end boutiques in Paris or the glamorous department stores of Istanbul, will look for the prestigious Made in Italy label before making a purchase. This benchmark of quality for Italian-made goods has become internationally recognisable, conferring an elite status upon the products that bear it. But what makes Italian footwear, in particular, so covetable? And how has a crop of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional brands managed to create some of the most fashion-forward shoes on the market? The answer to these questions lies in the small town of San Mauro Pascoli in Northern Italy. During the 1950s the area quickly became known for its shoemaking, due to the high concentration of able resident craftsmen. Pollini was one of the brands that sprang from this talent pool. While the business has expanded and its designs have moved with the times, Polliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 116

high-quality craftsmanship remains unchanged. Each shoe goes through over 135 processes before it reaches the shop floor of the label’s Milan flagship on Via della Spiga. Pollini places a strong emphasis on the artisanship and passion that underpins its creations and, as a result, avoids excessive use of technology in its factory. From the design team to the leather cutters, the bulk of the most intricate work is done by hand. Even when a machine is used during the assembly process, a highlytrained assembler will still make adjustments by hand to ensure absolute perfection. Pollini’s designs range from the practical to the avant-garde. Highlights for autumn/winter 2018/19 include pastel pink fur mules, silver over-the-knee boots and a pair of metallic corded sandals that would be perfect for a festive party. Alongside classic Pollini buckled ankle boots and conservative heeled loafers, the brand proves that solid

Italian craftsmanship can be the backbone for almost any design. Pollini is not the only brand that calls San Mauro Pascoli home. Born in the town in 1935, Sergio Rossi, the son of a local artisan, went on to found his eponymous footwear label here in 1966. Coming into prominence in the 1970s through collaborations with large Italian brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Versace, Sergio Rossi has been a mainstay of the country’s footwear scene ever since. Today, Naomi Campbell, Sarah Jessica Parker and Beyoncé are fans. For 2018, Sergio Rossi launched the SR Milano collection, featuring an angular heel with a branded metal plate. Applied to pumps, boots and slingbacks, the distinctive design is set to become a new icon for the label. Production has remained in San Mauro Pascoli since the first branded shoe left the Sergio Rossi factory in 1968 and, though 2018 marks 50 years since this milestone,

Sergio Rossi is anything but stuck in the past. Tradition and innovation work effortlessly together at the brand and the results speak for themselves: up to 1,600 pairs of Sergio Rossi shoes are produced daily in the very same factory where it all began. Just as Sergio Rossi’s success was nurtured in San Mauro Pascoli, so too was that of world-renowned Casadei. Quinto and Flora Casadei founded a modest sandal company here in 1958, which rapidly expanded during the 1960s thanks to the increasing popularity of the Made in Italy movement. Cesare Casadei, son of the founders, returned to the town in the mid 1980s and became actively involved in his parents’ company, taking on the role of creative director in 1994. Today Casadei is a global sensation. The brand’s Blade design is instantly recognisable the world over. The exquisitely slender heel appears to be almost an optical illusion, made possible through sheer expertise in shoe production. Casadei has become famous for Above (clockwise from bottom left): three looks from Casadei autumn/winter 2018/19; Cesare Casadei with the brand’s Blade design

The exquisitely slender heel of Casadei’s Blade design is recognised the world over marrying modern, fashion-forward designs with technical excellence, offering the customer quality and artistry with every design. The reward for Cesare Casadei comes ‘when I see a woman wearing one of our creations. At that moment, the magic of a shoe is truly capable of conveying the painstaking commitment and passion that I have always invested in this fantastic trade.’ A Casadei shoe always offers something extra, from Swarovski crystals and flamboyant tulle detailing to highly technical leather cutworks and dazzling structural features. Whether you are searching the glamorous boutiques of Milan for a chic everyday shoe or a glittering party piece, the exports of one littleknown Italian town are constantly pushing boundaries while cherishing traditional craftsmanship. Stylish and beautifully created, what could be more Italian?

This season, Milan’s leading designers explore the concept of female power in the modern age. Hannah Lewis reports

Left: backstage at Gucci autumn/winter 2018/19

or autumn/winter 2018/19, in a social climate where gender politics are becoming international news, Italy’s leading designers have come together – consciously or unconsciously – to present collections that consider what it means to be a powerful modern woman. Brands including Roberto Cavalli, Max Mara and Prada make a case for luxury fashion itself as a form of female empowerment. Roberto Cavalli is a brand that has long associated strong women with glitz and glamour. The label’s eponymous founder had a penchant for animal prints, leathers and – most notably – revealing silhouettes. In his second collection for the label, creative director Paul Surridge blended many of the founder’s signature tropes with elements of the loose tailoring and androgynous lines that typified his menswear roles at Jil Sander and Acne Studios. Ruched, bodycon dresses were layered under boxy biker jackets – both 117

in matching leopard print. A white dress was high-necked and almost floor-length, yet partially sheer. In many ways, this collection is about balance. Backstage at the show Surridge explained that, to him, glamour and attraction equate to confidence, and that confidence cannot exist without comfort. Roberto Cavalli clothes make women feel both confident and comfortable, whether the garments are bold and revealing or understated. Encouraging women to feel confident is something that Max Mara is very familiar with, having played a big part in defining 1980s power dressing. This season, designer Ian Griffiths brought together the chic, almost masculine tailoring that has typified the house since that decade with another fashion reference from the same era: punk rock. Alongside the brand’s staple pieces – pencil skirts and wool coats, for example – Griffiths introduced the punk fashion mainstays of Above (from left): Roberto Cavalli; Max Mara, both autumn/ winter 2018/19

Let your clothes tell a story of feminine power this season tartan and leather. The latter was found in almost every look, from belts to gloves to jackets, and even a few all-leather looks. Punk and power dressing, explained Griffiths, were two fashions that gave women new authority and opportunity, though in different ways: one to stand out from the crowd and one to lend status in the workplace. In bringing them together, Max Mara highlights the complexities of female empowerment today, and also its potential. The intricacies of being a woman in the modern world were a central theme at Prada, where designer Miuccia Prada spoke backstage about the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;struggle between retaining femininity and being strong.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Her collection looked to a future that embraced both the strength and the softness of womanhood. Delicate tulle dresses, which featured large bows at the nape of the neck, were layered over and under high-vis materials and bodices in military colours, or all but covered by Above (both): Prada autumn/winter 2018/19

oversized jackets in high-performance fabrics. Many looks were finished with luggage tags worn like corporate ID badges, as if Prada were dressing women for every role they might play in modern life. If Miuccia Prada’s constructions can be interpreted as an exaggerated representation of complex female identity, Alessandro Michele took it to the next level at Gucci. The autumn/ winter 2018/19 collection explores the way that people construct their identities through fashion; here the catwalk became a laboratory, and the models its creations. Though the catwalk styling at Gucci is extreme – certain models held replicas of their own heads in a nod to Dr Frankenstein – the pieces themselves are eminently wearable and the success of the brand is testament to this. A glittery dress with sheer ruffles was dressed down with sneakers, but would look perfect with heels for an evening event. Garment bags encompassing models’ entire looks contained tailored pieces that would fit into any wardrobe. The collection, like womanhood, is what you make of it.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s identity has become inextricably linked to her fashion choices, and it was to her that Jeremy Scott looked for inspiration for this season’s collection at Moschino. He spoke of the strength Onassis showed after losing her first husband; how could she remain so seemingly perfect while enduring such pain? The answer, or at least the concept Scott chose to explore, was that she was actually an alien. On the catwalk, this tongue-in-cheek theory was played out in looks that were heavily inspired by the signature style of Jackie O. Classic 1960s silhouettes burst with bold colours and pop art prints. For Scott, their variety signified the endless possibilities of the unknown in outer space. Though Moschino’s approach leaned heavily towards the playful and the humorous, there was a serious message behind the fun. Onassis used fashion both to shield and to empower herself, constructing a persona that she could take strength from. Whatever story your clothes are telling this season, be sure it’s one of feminine power Above (both): Moschino autumn/winter 2018/19

A Gentle Touch Brunello Cucinelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cashmere company is founded on humanist principles. The Italian designer tells Ginger Rose Clark about his revolutionary approach to the business of fashion

medieval castle, surrounded by a picturesque hamlet, on a hill in the Italian province of Perugia: this charming scene, worthy of a postcard, is Solomeo, where luxury cashmere brand Brunello Cucinelli has its headquarters. For those that don’t know the brand, Brunello Cucinelli might be defined by its cosy knits, carefully constructed tailoring, stylish leisurewear and beautiful lifestyle pieces. However, closer inspection reveals that behind the luxury products lies a company built on a deep-rooted humanistic ethos. The eponymous designer was born in 1953 in Castel Rigone, and the origins of his philosophy can be traced to his childhood. ‘For me, everything began when I saw my father humiliated and

offended at work,’ he explains. ‘I still remember his expression: he would come home exhausted but would not talk about his frustrations. I promised myself that, even if I did not know what I would do with my life, I would certainly make sure that no one would ever be humiliated at work.’ This mindset was one of the founding principles of the small cashmere business Cucinelli launched in 1978. And along with the philosophies of great thinkers such as Socrates, Kant, Rousseau and Marcus Aurelius, it is a mindset that has shaped the company for four decades. ‘Since the very beginning, I have had this dream of living and working for the dignity of mankind,’ says Cucinelli. ‘I have always thought that no profit should be made without

valuing human dignity, and that we could undertake something meaningful in order to bring mankind to the forefront of our work and our company.’ Solomeo – the town where Cucinelli’s wife was born – has also played a crucial role in defining the company. Won over by its charm, Cucinelli moved to Solomeo in 1982 before going on to purchase the town’s castle three years later, thanks to the growing success of his brand. Cucinelli has brought his humanistic enterprise to fruition in Solomeo: over time he has invested in and developed the town, aiming to boost knowledge as well as preserve its land and monuments. It now boasts an arts forum, built by master craftsmen from the local region, complete with a theatre where a wide range of international and national artists have taken to the stage. The Solomeo school of arts and crafts, inspired by John Ruskin and William Morris, trains future artisans in tailoring, knitwear, textiles, agriculture and masonry

while instilling them with a strong sense of pride in what they do. Spurred on by their erudite employer, Brunello Cucinelli’s employees are actively encouraged to balance manual work and knowledge, which is one of the reasons why Cucinelli prefers to use the term contemporary artisans to define his craftsmen. ‘I always say that contemporary artisans are those who, for instance, know how to use both scissors and laser cutting. I also like to imagine a new generation that not only masters technology and uses it in a conscious, careful and balanced manner, but is also willing to open a good book and address the greatest souls of the past.’ Besides ensuring the transmission of manual skills to future craftsmen, Cucinelli has made it his mission to impart knowledge in order to ‘pass on something meaningful to future generations, which exceeds the limits of their physical existence.’ While humanistic principles have helped

Above: the Solomeo school of arts and crafts trains future artisans in tailoring, knitwear, textiles, agriculture and masonry

define the company’s ethos, Cucinelli’s intuitive business approach can be credited for the brand’s unbounded success. From the beginning, he tapped into a gap in the market with his colourful cashmere products, an accomplishment that has enabled him to establish strong financial foundations on which to build his company. In addition, being based in Solomeo provides Brunello Cucinelli products with the coveted Made in Italy cachet – Cucinelli holds this benchmark of quality in high regard. ‘It can mean genius, elegance, style, a positive attitude towards life, respect for work, esteem for craftsmanship, attachment to our territory and to our own land. And yet, this has nothing to do with nationalism or other similar ideologies. In fact, it is just the opposite: contemporary and cosmopolitan people are those who become ambassadors of certain values and know that being good people and caring for others always comes first.’ Cucinelli has artfully fused Umbria’s knitting traditions with cashmere, a material from Central Asia. Above (all): Brunello Cucinelli autumn/winter 2018/19

This combination of heritage, high-quality materials and profound respect for the people that make the products is what makes Brunello Cucinelli’s products unique. ‘We have significantly contributed to shifting the customer perception of cashmere, such a precious and unique fabric, in terms of value, as well as raising awareness about the difference between expensive and valuable garments,’ he observes. There can be few, if any, luxury clothing brands run with such a philosophical and philanthropic approach. ‘As the great Russian writer Pavel Florenskij states: “You should always be willing to raise your gaze to the heavens and look at the stars.” This is particularly true during our time, when the hustle and bustle of everyday life seems to make people lose sight of the profound beauty that surrounds them,’ says its founder. Not content with building a cashmere empire, Brunello Cucinelli has also succeeded in opening people’s eyes to the beauties of the world

SABBADINI Founded in 1940, Sabbadini is a name to note in the world of Italian fine jewellery. The brand prides itself on using some of the world’s most magnificent stones in its creations, each of which is made in the Sabbadini workshop in the heart of Milan. Known for its bee motif, which adorns necklaces, rings and bracelets, Sabbadini also offers exquisite items of high jewellery and statement earrings like the pair pictured (price on request). Seek out your favourite pieces in the sophisticated Via Montenapoleone store. Sabbadini, Via Montenapoleone 6, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7600 8228, sabbadini.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 98

For autumn/winter 2018/19 Moreschi’s men’s collection takes inspiration from intrepid expeditions across Antarctica, envisaged in a polar colour palette of ice blues and greys, and uses of suede and sheepskin on sneakers and loafers. The women’s collection has taken a distinctly androgynous turn, with studded Chelsea boots and brogues in addition to the brand’s ever-popular heels. Combining craftsmanship and Italian shoemaking heritage since 1946, each pair of Moreschi footwear undergoes between 250 and 300 manual processes in the brand’s factory before making it onto the shop floor of the Milan boutique. For your own piece of Italian-made luxury, look no further. Moreschi, Corso Venezia 5, 20121 Milan, +39 02 7628 0529, moreschi.it FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 93 globalblue.com

TRANSLATIONS 中文翻译 58: THE ART OF THE SHOE 鞋履的艺术意大利制造”的标签究竟有何妙处，能令鞋履爱好者们心跳加速？答案或许就藏在一座小镇之中。Lucinda Turner带您了解意大利鞋履在世界各地备受推崇。无论是徜徉于巴黎的高端精品店，还是在伊斯坦布尔流光溢彩的百货商店流连，许多品味独到的顾客都会在付款之前悉心寻觅“意大利制造”的标签。这一意大利制造商品的质量基准已经在国际上广受认可，为携带标签的产品授予了卓越的身份象征。但是，究竟是什么让意大利鞋履如此令人艳羡？众多意大利传统品牌又是如何打造出市面上最前卫的鞋履？这些问题的答案就藏在意大利北部的小镇 San Mauro Pascoli之中。上世纪 50年代，该地区聚集了大批能工巧匠，并因为鞋履制作而声名鹊起。Pollini就是发源于这片人才井喷之地的品牌之一。上图: Sergio Rossi的 SR Milano系列鞋履

虽然业务规模有所扩张，设计风格也随着时代不断变迁，Pollini的高品质手工技艺却从未改变。每一只鞋都要经过135道工序，才能被送达米兰史皮卡大街（Via della Spiga）上的品牌旗舰店。Pollini格外注重手工技艺，将热情倾注在作品中，并刻意减少工厂中技术的使用。从设计团队到皮革切割工人，那些最为错综复杂的工作极大部分都是手工完成的。即便在用到了机器的装配工序，也会有一名经过严格训练的装配工人进行手工调整，以确保完美无缺。从实用的到前卫的，Pollini的设计风格多种多样。2018/19年秋冬季的亮点包括淡粉色的毛皮穆勒鞋、银色的过膝长靴，以及专为节庆派对打造、饰有金属纹路的凉鞋。再加上经典的Pollini搭扣式短靴和保守的高跟懒人拖，该品牌证明了值得信赖的意大利手工艺可以为几乎任何设计提供坚实基础。 Pollini并不是唯一一家在 San Mauro Pascoli土生土长的品牌。1935年，Sergio Rossi 在这座小镇上出生，其父亲是当地的一名工匠；1966年，他在这里创立了自己的同名鞋履品牌。70年代，通过与杜嘉班纳（Dolce & Gabbana）及范思哲（Versace）等意大利名牌的合作，Sergio Rossi名声渐起，并自此成为了意大利鞋履行业的中流砥柱。如今，Naomi Campbell、Sarah Jessica Parker及Beyoncé等明星都是他的支持者。

2018年，Sergio Rossi发布了SR Milano系列，主打一款饰有金属铭板的粗高跟鞋。这一与众不同的设计还应用到了浅口高跟鞋、靴子和露跟鞋身上，定将成为该品牌的一大全新标志。自1968年第一只Sergio Rossi品牌鞋运出工厂以来，品牌的生产一直保留在 San Mauro Pascoli进行。2018年是这一历史时刻诞生50周年，不过Sergio Rossi可丝毫没有停留在过去。该品牌轻而易举地将传统与创新结合在一起，取得的成绩不言自明：就在萌生了这一切的那间工厂，每天有多达1600双Sergio Rossi鞋履问世。正如 Sergio Rossi的成功发源于San Mauro Pascoli，知名意大利品牌 Casadei也一样。1958 年，Quinto Casadei与Flora Casadei在这里创立了一家不温不火的凉鞋公司；到了60年代，得益于“意大利制造”的日益风行，品牌开始迅速扩张。80年代中期，创始人之子 Cesare Casadei回到小镇，从此积极参与公司事务，并于1994年开始担任创意总监。如今的Casedei已是全球热门。该品牌的 Blade设计在世界各地均有着极高的辨识度。纤细优雅的鞋跟看起来几乎如同光学错觉，这是凭借高超至臻的鞋履制造专业技术才得以实现的。Casedei将摩登而前卫的设计与卓越而先进的技艺融于一身，每一件作品都能为顾客提供无暇品质及艺术享受，因而在业界闻名遐迩。对于 Cesare Casadei而言，最好的回报便是“看见一个女人穿着一双我们的作品。在那一刻，鞋履的魔法真的能够传递我一直以来为这个奇妙行业倾注的心血与热爱。”从施华洛世奇的水晶、皮制花卉、醒目的薄纱细节到技术精湛的皮革切割及令人赞叹的结构特色，每双 Casadei鞋总会带来一些意料之外的惊喜。在米兰魅力无限的精品店中驻足，无论您是在物色别致的日常鞋款，还是光彩夺目的派对之选，都将切身体会到：一座鲜为人知的意大利小镇输出的产品在不断推陈出新的同时，亦十分珍视传统手工艺。时尚前卫、做工精美，还有什么比这更能体现意大利风格呢？

68: FIERCE FEMININITY 飒爽英姿本季，米兰各大设计师纷纷对当今时代的女性力量展开了探索。Hannah Lewis 报道 2018/19秋冬季，在这性别政治屡屡登上国际新闻的社会氛围之中，意大利主流设计师有意无 globalblue.cn

意、不约而同地在系列作品中表达了他们对现代女强人的思考。以奢侈时装本身作为女权的一种形式，Roberto Cavalli、Max Mara和 Prada 等品牌便是个中榜样。多年以来，Roberto Cavalli一直展示着光彩动人的女强人形象。该品牌的同名创始人对动物印花、皮革以及— — 最显见的 — — 性感廓形情有独钟。在创意总监Paul Surridge为品牌操刀的第二个系列中，他将许多深具Cavalli特色的比喻象征与宽松剪裁及中性线条等元素结合在一起，后两者是Surridge在 Jil Sander及Acne Studios负责男装设计时的典型特征。褶边紧身连衣裙搭配在宽松的机车夹克之下— —两者都饰有豹纹印花，相映成趣；高领白色长裙几乎垂至地面，却有部分是透明的。就许多方面而言，平衡是这个系列的关键词。 Surridge在秀场的后台解释称，对于他而言，魅力、吸引力与自信同等重要，而如果没有舒适的感觉，自信也就无以为继。无论是大胆而暴露，还是低调而朴素，Roberto Cavalli的服装都能让女性感到既自信又舒适。 Max Mara也深谙如何鼓励女性感受自信，该品牌在很大程度上定义了80年代的权力服饰（power dressing）。本季，设计师 Ian Griffiths 将自那个年代以来成为品牌标志性特征的、气质近乎阳刚的别致裁剪，与同一时代的另一大时尚元素 — —朋克摇滚融合到一起。除了该品牌的主打产品 — — 例如铅笔裙和羊毛外套 — — Griffiths还力推朋克时尚的基本组成部分：格子呢与皮革。从皮带到手套再到夹克，几乎每一身造型中都可以找到皮革的身影，甚至还有几套全皮革造型。 Griffiths解释称，朋克与权力服饰这两大时尚元素能为女性赋予新的权威与机遇，只不过是以不同的方式：一种是从大众之中脱颖而出，一种是在职场上提高地位。Max Mara将这两者结合在一起，着重强调了当今女权运动的错综复杂及发展潜力。在现代世界作为一个女人的纷繁复杂之处曾经是Prada的一大中心主题，设计师 Miuccia Prada也曾在后台谈及“保持温婉优雅和做个女强人之间的挣扎”。她的系列作品展望了一个能同时接受女性刚柔两面的未来。在颈部饰有大蝴蝶结的精致薄纱裙或与高可见材料及迷彩色的紧身上衣层层叠搭，或几乎完全被遮在高性能织物打造的特大号夹克之下。许多套装束都饰有一枚公司身份标牌，看起来 Prada仿佛是要为女性在现代生活中可能扮演的所有角色提供着装。如果说 Miuccia Prada的阐释是对女性复杂

身份的夸张演绎，那么 Alessandro Michele则为 Gucci将这种演绎带上了另一个层面。2018/19 秋冬季系列探索了人们通过时尚构建各自身份的方式；在这里，T台变成了实验室，模特则是一件件作品。尽管 Gucci的秀场造型有些激进 — —为致敬弗兰肯斯坦博士，某些模特手捧着自己头部的复制品 — — 作品本身还是十分耐穿的，品牌的成功便是最好的实证。一件饰有透明褶边的华丽长裙既可与运动鞋轻松搭配，也可以搭上高跟鞋成为夜间盛会的完美装束。收纳着模特身上全套衣物的服装袋里，还装有各种剪裁考究的作品，可完美融入任何衣橱。就如女性气质一样，这个系列的内涵全由您来赋予。有一位女性的身份就与其时尚选择衍生出了密不可分的联系，那就是杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奥纳西斯（ Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis）— —正是

在她身上，Jeremy Scott寻获了Moschino本季系列的创作灵感。Scott谈到了杰奎琳在失去丈夫之后展现出的不可思议的力量；她怎能在承受如此巨痛之际，保持这般完美的姿态？答案是，她其实是个外星人— —或者至少，这是 Scott选择探索的概念。在秀场上，一袭袭深受典型 Jackie O风格影响的装束将这种半开玩笑的阴谋论展现得淋漓尽致；经典的 60年代廓形与大胆色彩和流行艺术印花相映成趣。对于Scott而言，它们预示着外太空未知世界的无限可能性。尽管Moschino的风格中俏皮与幽默的成分居多，但趣味的背后也隐藏着严肃的信息。对于杰奎琳而言，时尚既是盾牌也是权杖，她利用时尚构建出了一个人格面具，并从中获取力量。新季来临，无论您要用服装讲述一个怎样的故事，一定要围绕着女权的主题展开。

Brunello Cucinelli在人道主义的原则之上建立起自己的羊绒品牌。这位意大利设计师向Ginger Rose Clark讲述了他对时尚行业的革命式态度在意大利佩鲁贾省的小山上，一座中世纪城堡被风景如画的村庄紧紧包围：这般足以印上明信片的迷人景色就在 Solomeo，这里是奢侈羊绒品牌 Brunello Cucinelli的总部所在地。对于那些并不了解这家品牌的人而言，或许可以用舒适的针织衫、结构考究的剪裁、时尚的休闲装和优雅美观的生活方式作品来为Brunello Cucinelli 下定义。然而，如果近距离观察，便会发现在这些奢华产品的背后，是一家建立在根深蒂固的人道主义精神之上的公司。同名设计师 Brunello Cucinelli于1953年出生在卡斯特尔里戈尼（Castel Rigone），其哲学理念的起源可以追溯至他的童年时期。“ 对于我而言，一切都是从我看见我父亲在工作时受到羞辱和攻击时开始的。”他解释道。“ 我至今仍记得他的神情：他回到家时总是精疲力竭，但从不提起他心底的沮丧。我暗自发誓，就算我并不知道我这一生将要做些什么，我也一定要确保没有人会在工作时遭受屈辱。” 这种心态便是1978年小型羊绒公司Cucinelli成立时的创业原则之一。四十年来，正是这样的心态与苏格拉底、康德、卢梭、马可·奥里利乌斯等先贤的哲学思想塑造着这家公司。“从一开始，我就梦想着为了人的尊严而生活、而工作。”Cucinelli说道，“ 我始终认为，创造利润的同时不应忽视人的尊严；我们应当做一些有意义的事情，致力于将人放到我们工作和公司的中心位置。” Solomeo— — Cucinelli妻子出生的小镇— — 同样对该公司的定位起到了关键的作用。1982年，Cucinelli被这座小镇的魅力征服，并搬来了这里；三年之后，得益于品牌的日益成功，他买下了镇上的城堡。Cucinelli在 Solomeo 实现了他的人道主义愿景：多年来，他不断投资和开发这座小镇，致力于促进知识传播，同时保护当地水土与历史遗迹。如今，Solomeo有了一座由当地工匠大师建造的艺术论坛，以及一 globalblue.cn

座曾引来众多国际与本土艺人登台的剧院。受 John Ruskin和 William Morris启发创立的 Solomeo艺术与手工艺学校训练出一批批裁缝、针织、纺织、农业及石工等领域的未来工匠，并让他们对自己所从事的事业深感自豪。 Brunello Cucinelli的博学让他的雇员们深受鼓舞，他频频激励他们在手工劳动的同时不忘求索知识，这正是 Cucinelli喜欢用 “当代工匠” 一词来形容这些匠人的原因之一。“ 我经常举例说，当代工匠是那些既精通剪刀也了解激光切割的人。我还乐于想象新一代工匠不仅掌握了技术，能有意识地、谨慎入微地、有条不紊地运用技术，还愿意翻开一本好书，与过去最伟大的灵魂交流。” 确保将手工技艺传承给未来工匠之余，Cucinelli还致力于传播知识，以期 “ 给子孙后辈留下一些超越物质存在之限制的有意义的东西。” 人道主义原则帮助塑造了该公司的精神气质，而品牌的无限成功则要归功于 Cucinelli与生俱来的商业手腕。从一开始，他就用色彩缤纷的羊绒产品填补了市场缺口；他从中积攒了雄厚的资本，用以打造他的公司。此外，扎根在 Solomeo的Brunello Cucinelli 也得以为产品印上令人梦寐以求的 “意大利制造” 标签 — — Cucinelli十分注重这一质量标准。“这意味着才华、优雅、时尚、对生活的积极态度、对工作的尊敬、对手工技艺的珍视、对我们领土和自己土地的归属感。但是，这与民族主义或其他类似的意识形态无关。恰恰相反，当代的都市人都是某种价值观念的使者，深知做个好人、关爱他人永远是最重要的。”Cucinelli巧妙地将翁布里亚地区的针织传统与来自中亚的羊绒融合在一起。正是悠久的传统、优质的材料与对生产者的深切敬意三者结合，使得Brunello Cucinelli如此无与伦比。“ 在价值方面，我们显著改变了消费者对羊绒这样一种珍贵而独特的面料的认知，同时也帮助人们认识到了昂贵服装和有价值服装之间的区别。” 他评论道。极少有奢侈服装品牌能在经营的过程中秉持如此充满哲理与博爱精神的态度。“正如伟大的俄罗斯作家帕维尔.弗洛林斯基（Pavel Florenskij）所说：‘你应该乐于抬头凝视天空与群星。’这句话尤其适合我们的时代，日常生活的纷纷扰扰似乎让大家忽视了我们周围的深邃之美。”这位品牌创始人说道。Brunello Cucinelli并不满足于建立一个羊绒帝国，他还成功地帮助人们看到这个世界的美好。

Люсинда Тернер рассказывает, почему ярлык Made in Italy заставляет сильнее биться сердца поклонников обуви Итальянская обувь вызывает восхищение у миллионов людей. Многие специально ищут ярлык Made in Italy даже покупая обувь в дорогих бутиках Парижа или роскошных универмагах Стамбула. Этот знак качества признан во всем мире, и любой товар, на который он нанесен, автоматически приобретает особый статус. Но в чем же секрет итальянской обуви? Как итальянским брендам удается создавать самые модные туфли на рынке? Ответ на эти вопросы спрятан в маленьком городе Сан-Мауро-Пасколи на севере Италии. В 1950-е концентрация умелых обувщиков здесь так выросла, что город стремительно прославился. Одним из брендов, которые выросли на этой благодатной почве, стал Pollini. Предприятие развивалось, коллекции следовали новым трендам, но качественное мастерство оставалось неизменным. Ремесло и любовь к своему делу лежат в основе Pollini.

121

Возможно, поэтому компания избегает чрезмерного использования технологий в производственном процессе. Работа над каждой парой, которую покупатель видит в миланском магазине на Via della Spiga, состоит из 135 операций. Начиная от дизайна и заканчивая раскройкой кожи – все самые сложные процедуры делаются вручную. Машина задействуется на сборке готовой обуви, но даже здесь профессиональные сборщики вручную доводят результат до совершенства. Pollini создает самую разную обувь – от практичной до авангардной. Особого внимания в коллекции осень-зима 2018-19 заслуживают мюли из нежно-розового меха, серебристые сапоги выше колена и туфли из металлических шнуров, созданные специально для вечеринок. Есть в коллекции и нестареющая классика: ботильоны с пряжкой и традиционные лоферы на каблуке. Всем своим творчеством Pollini заявляет, что итальянское мастерство может стать основой для воплощения любой фантазии. Сан-Мауро-Пасколи стал родиной и для бренда Sergio Rossi. Его основатель Серджио Росси родился в этом городе в 1935 году в семье обувщика. В 1966 году он открыл собственную компанию, которая прославилась в 1970е благодаря сотрудничеству с крупными итальянскими брендами Dolce & Gabbana и Versace. С тех пор Sergio Rossi занимает лидирующие позиции на рынке, его обувь носят Наоми Кэмпбелл, Сара Джессика Паркер и Бейонсе. В 2018 Sergio Rossi представил коллекцию SR Milano, которую можно узнать по заостренным каблукам и металлической пластинке с логотипом. Этот дизайн легко адаптируется к туфлям-лодочкам, ботильонам и легким сандалиям, и у него есть все шансы стать культовым и войти в историю. Фабрика Sergio Rossi располагается в Сан-Мауро-Пасколи с того момента, как ее покинул первый ботинок в 1968 году. И хотя в 2018 компания отмечает свое пятидесятилетие, она ни на мгновение не задерживается в прошлом. Во всем, что делает бренд, легко уживаются традиция и новация. И результат говорит сам за себя: до 1600 пар туфель Sergio Rossi производятся ежедневно на той же самой globalblue.cn | globalblue.ru

фабрике, где все когда-то начиналось. Как и Sergio Rossi, еще один итальянский бренд Casadei начал свою историю в СанМауро-Пасколи. В 1958 году Квинто и Флора Касадей основали скромную мастерскую, которая изначально специализировались на сандалиях. Но уже в 1960-е предприятие разрослось благодаря огромной популярности движения Made in Italy. Чезаре Касадей, сын основателей, вернулся в город в середине 1980-х и стал активно участвовать в делах родительской компании, а в 1994 стал ее креативным директором. В наши дни о Casadei говорят и знают во всем мире. Туфли Blade стали культовыми практически сразу: их каблук настолько тонок, что кажется оптическим обманом. Без огромного опыта и высочайшего мастерства это было бы просто невозможно. Умение сочетать модный дизайн и техническое совершенство принесло заслуженную славу Casadei. В итоге покупатели получают качество

От дизайна до раскроя кожи – все самые сложные процессы делаются вручную и стиль в каждой паре обуви, и это главная награда для Чезаре Касадей: «В тот момент, когда я вижу женщину в наших туфлях, я вижу, как воплощается магия, как одна пара способна передать всю страстную преданность ремеслу, которую я всегда вкладываю в наше фантастическое дело». Casadei всегда предлагает нечто большее: на обуви могут появляться кристаллы Swarovski, кожаные цветы, пышная тюлевая отделка, высококачественная резьба по коже или блестящие элементы. Миланские бутики готовы радовать вас красивыми туфлями на каждый день или сверкающими парами для праздника. Все, что производится в небольшом итальянском городке Сан-Мауро-Пасколи, способно преодолевать границы привычного и одновременно бережно сохранять лучшие традиции мастерства. Стильные и красиво сделанные туфли – что может быть более итальянским?

68: FIERCE FEMININITY СИЛЬНАЯ ЖЕНСТВЕННОСТЬ Ханна Льюис рассказывает, как миланские дизайнеры работают с современной концепцией женской силы Итальянские дизайнеры не могли оставить без внимания тему гендерной политики, которую так горячо обсуждают в обществе. Сознательно или нет, но многие из них посвятили коллекции осень-зима 2018-19 размышлению, каково это – быть влиятельной современной женщиной. Некоторые бренды, такие как Roberto Cavalli, Max Mara и Prada, утверждают, что мода становится источником воодушевления для женщин. Для Roberto Cavalli образ сильной женщины связан с блеском и красотой. Роберто Кавалли всегда с особым трепетом относился к коже, анималистичным принтам и, что особенно примечательно, облегающим силуэтам. Во второй коллекции для бренда креативный директор Пол Сарридж соединил излюбленные

Сверху: Roberto Cavalli осень-зима 2018/19

приемы Кавалли со своим собственным стилем: свободный крой и андрогинные силуэты он отработал в мужских коллекциях для Jil Sander и Acne Studios. В результате облегающие платья с рюшами дополнялись байкерскими куртками, причем и то, и другое сочеталось с леопардовым принтом. Знаковым в коллекции можно считать закрытое, полупрозрачное белое платье в пол с высоким воротом. Таким образом, сквозной темой коллекции стало умение балансировать между крайностями. За кулисами показа Сарридж объяснял, что для него шарм и привлекательность означают уверенность, а уверенность невозможна без комфорта. Вещи Roberto Cavalli помогают женщинам чувствовать себя уверенно и удобно, и неважно, какая это одежда – яркая и откровенная или лаконичная и скромная. Вселять уверенность – специализация модного дома Max Mara. Еще в 1980-е он многое сделал для оформления сильного женского гардероба. В этом сезоне дизайнер Ян Гриффитс столкнул элегантный крой в мужском стиле с панк-роком – еще одной модной чертой 80-х. Поэтому рядом с классикой Max Mara (например, юбка-карандаш и шерстяное пальто) появились истинно панковские элементы – клетчатая ткань и кожа. Причем кожа используется практически во всем: от ремней и перчаток до пиджаков и даже полностью кожаных образов. Панковский и деловой стили, объясняет Гриффитс, давали женщинам новую власть и новые возможности через одежду. Пусть и разными способами: панк помогал выделиться из толпы, а официальная одежда придавала статус в офисе. Соединяя их вместе, Max Mara подчеркивает многоплановость женской силы сегодня, ее потенциал. Тонкости жизни современной женщины стали центральной темой у Prada. Миучча Прада говорила за кулисами показа о «борьбе между сохранением женственности и обретением силы». В этом отношении ее коллекция пророчит интересное будущее, где женственная мягкость питает женскую силу. Тонкие тюлевые платья с объемными бантами на шее дополняли корсажи из светоотражающего материала и куртки защитных цветов, а иногда их полностью закрывали объемные плащи из технологичных тканей. Аксессуаром для многих комплектов

стали корпоративные бейджи, как будто Prada готовит женщин к любой социальной роли, какую только может предложить современный мир. Коллекцию Миуччи Прада можно интерпретировать как образное воплощение многогранной жизни женщины. В коллекции осень-зима 2018-19 для Gucci Алессандро Микеле пошел еще дальше. Она посвящена тому, как люди проявляют свою личность через моду, поэтому подиум превратился в лабораторию, а модели стали плодом ее творчества. Стайлинг на показе Gucci был порой экстремальным (некоторые модели держали в руках копии собственных голов в духе доктора Франкенштейна), тем не менее, сами вещи удобны и легко сочетаются друг с другом. Блестящее платье с прозрачными оборками уравновешено кроссовками, но будет смотреться идеально и с каблуками на вечернем событии. Объединяющим акцентом стали сумки, которые легко впишутся в любой гардероб. Эта коллекция способна быть такой, какой захочет женщина – собственно, как и само понятие женственности. Если говорить о женщине, личность которой неразрывно связана с ее модным обликом, то это Жаклин Кеннеди Онассис. И именно о ней думал Джереми Скот, когда искал вдохновение для новой коллекции Moschino. Он говорил о невероятной силе, которую Онассис демонстрировала после потери супруга. Как она могла сохранять внешнюю безупречность и при этом переживать сильную боль? Скотт называет ее инопланетянкой, и эту идею он активно развивает в коллекции. На подиуме ироничная теория заговора обыгрывалась в образах, которые вдохновлены неповторимым стилем Джеки. Классические силуэты 1960-х расцвечены насыщенными цветами и принтами в стиле поп-арт. Для Скотта они говорят о бесконечных возможностях неизведанного космоса. В целом, Moschino всегда благосклонен к игре и юмору, но в этой коллекции было и нечто большее. Онассис использовала моду как защиту от внешнего мира и как источник силы. Она конструировала свою личность и черпала из этого энергию. Какую бы историю ваша одежда ни рассказывала в этом сезоне, она наверняка будет о женственной силе. globalblue.ru

74: A GENTLE TOUCH НЕЖНОЕ ПРИКОСНОВЕНИЕ Кашемировая компания итальянского дизайнера Брунелло Кучинелли основана на гуманистических принципах. О своем революционном подходе к модному бизнесу он рассказал Джинджер Роуз Кларк Холмы итальянской провинции Перуджа, средневековый замок, окруженный живописной деревушкой, и умиротворяющий, словно с открытки, пейзаж... Все это Соломео – итальянский городок, где расположилась штаб-квартира кашемирового бренда Brunello Cucinelli. Для многих это имя ассоциируется с уютными вязаными вещами на каждый день, детально продуманными костюмами и стильной одеждой для отдыха. Но при близком знакомстве открывается глубоко гуманистическая философия компании, которая лежит в основе ее качественных и красивых коллекций. Брунелло Кучинелли родился в 1953 году в городке Кастель-Ригоне. Его отношение к жизни и работе сформировалось еще в детстве: «Я видел, как моего отца унижали и обижали на работе, – объясняет дизайнер. – До сих пор помню его выражение лица: он приходил домой обессиленным, но ни слова не говорил о своих переживаниях. И я пообещал себе, что сделаю все возможное, чтобы ни один человек не был унижен на работе. Хотя тогда я еще не представлял, чем буду заниматься в жизни». Это мировоззрение легло в основу небольшой компании, которую Кучинелли основал в 1978 году и которая специализировалась на кашемире. Философские труды таких великих мыслителей, как Сократ, Кант, Руссо и Марк Аврелий, определили стратегию бренда на следующие четыре десятилетия: «С самого начала у меня была мечта жить и работать во имя человеческого достоинства, – говорит Кучинелли. – Я всегда считал, что никакая прибыль невозможна без должного отношения к достоинству. Мы

способны предпринять нечто такое, чтобы на первом плане всей нашей деятельности, всей компании стоял человек». Соломео тоже сыграл важную роль в становлении компании. Кучинелли поддался обаянию этого городка, в котором родилась его жена, и переехал туда в 1982 году. Еще через три года он приобрел там замок благодаря стремительному успеху бренда. Его гуманистическая философия расцвела в Соломео: он инвестировал в город, способствовал его развитию и вкладывался в образование и сохранение пейзажей и памятников. Теперь в городе есть свой центр искусств, построенный мастерами Перуджи, и театр, на сцену которого поднимаются итальянские и иностранные артисты. Школа искусств и ремесел Соломео, вдохновленная Джоном Рескиным и Уильямом Моррисом, обучает будущих специалистов в портняжном деле, вязании, текстиле, сельском хозяйстве и каменных работах, а заодно прививает студентам чувство гордости за свое ремесло. Пример эрудированного работодателя вдохновляет и сотрудников Brunello Cucinelli. В этой компании поощряется всякое желание развивать знания и сочетать работу руками с тренировкой ума. Чтобы определить род деятельности своих мастеров,

Кучинелли использует термин «современные ремесленники»: «Я всегда повторяю, что современный ремесленник – это тот, кто может использовать и ножницы, и лазерную технику. Мне также нравится думать, что новое поколение не только совершенствуется в технологиях и использует их осознанно, осторожно и взвешенно, но и способно открыть хорошую книгу и обратиться к величайшим мыслителям прошлого». Кучинелли считает, что мастера должны передавать не только практические навыки ручной работы, но и знания, чтобы «оставить будущим поколениям нечто значительное и превосходящее их физическое существование». Гуманистические принципы помогли сформировать философию компании, а деловая интуиция Кучинелли – достичь большого успеха. Его яркие кашемировые вещи прочно заняли свою нишу на рынке, и это позволило ему заложить прочный финансовый фундамент для роста компании. Соломео также дает возможность Brunello Cucinelli использовать бирку Made in Italy, о которой Кучинелли высокого мнения: «Этот ярлык означает гениальность, элегантность, стиль, позитивное отношение к жизни, уважение к работе, пиетет к мастерству и верность нашей собственной земле. А еще в нем нет ничего общего с национализмом или подобными идеологиями. Наоборот, современные космополиты становятся проводниками вечных ценностей и знают, что в первую очередь нужно быть хорошим человеком и заботиться о других». Кучинелли изобретательно применяет умбрийские традиции вязания к кашемиру – материалу из Средней Азии. Сочетание наследия, качественных тканей и глубокого уважения к мастерам делает Brunello Cucinelli неповторимым. «Мы сделали значительный вклад в то, чтобы покупатели воспринимали кашемир по-другому – как драгоценную и уникальную ткань. И еще мы помогли людям осознать разницу между дорогими и ценными вещами», – замечает он. В мире не так уж много брендов одежды со столь глубоким философским и филантропическим подходом. «Великий русский мыслитель Павел Флоренский однажды написал:

“Вы должны всегда стремиться поднять свой взгляд к небесам и посмотреть на звезды”. Это особенно важно в наше время, когда в суете повседневной жизни люди перестают видеть настоящую красоту, окружающую их», – говорит основатель компании. Брунелло Кучинелли было мало кашемировой империи. Он решил открывать людям глаза на красоту этого мира – и преуспел во всем.

フットウェアのファンがドキドキ胸躍らせるイタリアの靴。メイド・イン・イタリアのレーベルはいったいどこがそう特別なのだろう。その鍵を握っていそうな小さな町をルシンダ・ターナーが訪ねた。イタリアのフットウェアは世界中で愛され、パリの高級ブティックであろうとイスタンブールの豪華デパートであろうと、目の肥えたショッピング客はイタリアの名門メーカーの靴を探している。イタリア製品の品質基準は世界的に認識されていて、「メイド・イン・イタリア」のラベルのついた製品は特選品扱いなのだ。それにしても、イタリアのフットウェアをとりわけ垂涎の的にしているのは何なのだろう。この国の老舗ブランドはどうやって市場の最先端を行く靴を次々と創り出してきたのだろう。これらの問いの答えは、イタリア北部の町サン・マウロ・パスコリにある。ここは、有能な靴職人が多く住んでいたおかげで1950年代に靴の産地として一躍有名になった。才能ある職人が集まっている土地柄を活かして生まれたブランドの一つがポリーニだ。事業が拡大し、デザインは時代と共に移り変わっても、高品質を追求するポリーニの職人魂は変わらない。靴は一足一足が135以上ものプロセスを経て、ミラノのスピーガ通りにある同レーベルの旗艦店に並ぶ。ポリーニでは、職人技と創作の源である熱い思いをとても大切にしており、工場でもむやみにテクノロジーを使わない。デザインからレザーカットまで、込み入った作業の多くは手仕事だ。組み立てのプロセスで機械を使う時でも、熟練の組み立て職人が手で調整して完璧な出来にしている。ポリーニのデザインは実用的なものからアヴァンギャルドなものまで様々。2018/19年秋冬コレクションの目玉は、パステルピンクの毛皮のミュールとシルバーのオーバーニーブーツ、陽気なパーティにぴったりのメタリックなヒモサンダルだ。ポリーニの名品、バックル付きアンクルブーツや大人しいヒール付きローファーはもちろ

ん、しっかりしたイタリアの職人技を土台にすればほどどんなデザインでも可能なことを、このブランドは証明している。サン・マウロ・パスコリ発のブランドはポリーニだけではない。1935年にこの町で生まれたセルジオ・ロッシは地元の職人を父に持ち、1966 年に自分の名を冠したフットウェアレーベルをここで立ち上げた。1970年代にドルチェ＆ガッバーナ、ヴェルサーチといった有力イタリアンブランドとコラボしたことで名声を得たセルジオ・ロッシは、以来この国のフットウェアシーンになくてはならない存在だ。今ではナオミ・キャンベルやサラ・ジェシカ・パーカー、ビヨンセも愛好するブランドになった。 2018年には尖ったヒールとブランド名の入ったメタルプレートが特徴の「sr M I L A NO」コレクションを発表している。パンプス、ブーツ、スリ

ングバックシューズがあるが、この独特のデザインは間違いなく同レーベルの代表作になるだろう。セルジオ・ロッシブランドの靴を工場から初出荷した1968年からずっとサン・マウロ・パスコリで生産し、2018年には50周年の節目を迎える

セルジオ・ロッシだが、過去の呪縛など微塵もない。このブランドでは伝統と革新がごく自然に共存していて、それがうまくいっているのは、50年前と全く同じ工場から毎日1600足のセルジオ・ロッシが送り出されていることを見れば明らかだ。セルジオ・ロッシの成功がサン・マウロ・パスコリのおかげだったように、有名イタリアンレーベルのカサディもこの町に育てられた。クイント・カサディとフローラ・カサディが1958年にこの地で設立した小さなサンダル製造会社は、1960年代の「メイド・イン・イタリア」運動が追い風となって急速な成長を遂げる。創業者の息子チェーザレ・カサディが1980年代半ばにこの町に戻り、両親の会社に積極的に関与するようになって 1994年にはクリエイティブディレクターに就任。今やカサディは世界中で旋風を巻き起こしている。このブランドの「ブレード」というデザインは、世界中でカサディとわかる認知度を誇る。素晴らしくスレンダーなヒールは目の錯覚かと思うほど。まさに靴作りの匠ならではの創作だ。カサディはモダンで前衛的なデザインと優れた技術を組み合わせ、どんなデザインでも高い品質と芸術性を提供している。チェーザレ・カサディは「うちで作った靴を履いている女性を見ると報われる」という。「この素晴らしい仕事に込めてきた丹精、注いできた情熱が一足の靴という形で伝わる瞬間、まさに靴の魔法です。」カサディの靴には、スワロフスキーのクリスタル、革細工の花、華やかなチュールのディテール、高い技術を要するレザーカット、目を見張るような構造的特徴など、いつも何かしら特別な工夫がある。

ミラノの華麗なブティックを巡る買い物客のお目当てがシックな常履きの靴であろうと煌びやかなパーティ用のお洒落靴であろうと、イタリアのあまり知られていないひとつの町で生み出される靴は、伝統の職人技を大切にしつつ常に限界を押し広げている。スタイリッシュで美しく作られた靴。それ以上イタリアンなものがあるだろうか。

68: FIERCE FEMININITY 女らしさと力強さと

今シーズン、ミラノの有力デザイナーたちが現代女性のパワーというコンセプトを追求している。ハンナ・ルイスがレポートする。 2018/19年秋冬シーズンは、ジェンダー・ポリティクスが国際ニュースになる社会情勢の中、イタリアンデザインの大御所たちが、意識してかどうかはともかく、力強い現代女性であることの意味を追究したコレクションを揃って発表している。ロベルト・カヴァリやマックスマーラ、プラダといったブランドが、高級ファッションそのものが女性のエンパワーメントの一つの形だと主張しているのだ。ロベルト・カヴァリは昔から、華やかでグラマラスな魅力と強い女性像を結び付けてきたブランドだ。レーベル名になっている創業者のロベルト・カヴァリは、アニマルプリントやレザーを好み、中でも露出の多いシルエットを得意とする。ポール・サリッジは同レーベルで2度目となるコレクションで、創業者の考案による代表的な装飾をふんだんに取り入れ、以前ジル・サンダーやアクネ・ストゥディオズで作ったメンズウェアの特徴だった緩やかなテーラリングと両性的なラインといった要素とブレンドしてみせた。シャーリングのボディコンドレスには四角張ったバイカージャケットを重ね、柄はお揃いのヒョウ柄プリント。白いドレスはハイネックで裾すれすれの長さ、その一部がシアーになっている。このコレクションは、いろいろな意味でバランスがポイントだ。ショーの舞台裏でサリッジは、自分にとってグラマラスで目を引くファッションはイコール自信であり、その自信は快適さ抜きには持ち得ないと説明してくれた。ロベルト・カヴァリの服は、それが大胆で露出度の高いデザインであろうと控えめなものであろうと、着る女性に自信と快適さを同時に感じさせる。 globalblue.com

女性の強気を引き出すというのは、1980年代のパワードレッシングを確立する上で大きな役割を果たしたマックスマーラでもお馴染みのコンセプトだ。デザイナーのイアン・グリフィスは今シーズン、80年代の同ブランドを象徴する粋で男らしいといってもいいほどのテーラリングと、同時代のファッションのもう一つの特徴であるパンクロックを合体させている。ペンシルスカートやウールのコートなど、このブランドお馴染みのアイテムに加え、パンクファッションに欠かせないタータンとレザーを取り入れたのだ。特にレザーはベルト、手袋、ジャケットなどでほぼどの装いにも組み入れられ、レザー尽くしのルックスもいくつかあった。グリフィスによれば、パンクとパワードレッシングは一方は群衆の中で目立つ手段、もう一方は職場でのステータスをもたらす手段というふうにアプローチは違うが、共に女性に新たな権威とチャンスをもたらした二大ファッションだ。それらを合体させる際、マックスマーラは現代女性のエンパワーメントの複雑さと共にポテンシャルをも際立たせている。現代社会で女性であることの機微はプラダの中心テーマでもあり、デザイナーのミウッチヤ・プラダは舞台裏で「女らしくありながら強い存在であることの難しさ」を語っている。コレクションでは、女性の強さとソフトさの両方を大切にした将来ビジョンを体現した。デリケートなチュールのドレスは首の後ろの大きなリボンが特徴で、高視認性の素材やミリタリーカラーのボディスの下からのぞかせたり上から垂らしたり、高機能性素材のたっぷりしたジャケットにほぼ隠れるように合わせたり。仕上げに会社員のI Dバッジを付けたルックスが多く、現代の生活で女性が果たすどんな役割にも応じられるようなラインナップだった。ミウッチヤ・プラダの作品が複雑な女性のアイデンティティを誇張して表現したものだとしたら、グッチのアレッサンドロ・ミケーレはそれをさらに一段飛躍させ、人がファッションを通じていかにアイデンティティを構築するかを2018/19年秋冬コレクションで追究した。キャットウォークはラボと化し、新開発のモデルたちが登場した。グッチのキャットウォークは、モデルの一部がフランケンシュタイン博士の実験室から生まれたかのように自分の頭のレプリカを手にして現れるなどスタイリングは極端だが、服そのものはすごく着やすい。ブランドの成功がその証だ。シアーなラッフルが付いた光沢あるドレスはスニーカーを合わせてドレスダウンしていたが、ヒールを合わせれば夜のイベントにぴったりだろう。モデルが披露した

作品の数々の中には、どんなワードローブにも合いそうなテーラードの服もあった。このコレクションも「女性像」と同じく見方次第ということだろう。アイデンティティとファッションチョイスが切っても切り離せない一人の女性がいる。ジャクリーン・ケネディ・オナシスだ。その彼女をインスピレーションとしてジェレミー・スコットが創り出したのが、今シーズンのモスキーノコレクション。夫を失った後にジャクリーンが見せたとてつもない強さについてスコットは話している。彼女はあんなに辛い思いをしながら、いったいどうやって完璧な容姿をキープできたのか。その答え、少なくともスコットが模索した答えは、彼女は実はエイリアンだったというもの。この冗談めかした説をキャットウォーク上に展開したショーは、ジャクリーンの代表的スタイルに大いに影響を受けたルックスが次々登場し、1960年代を代表するシルエットが大胆な色とポップアートプリントで蘇った。それらはスコットにとって、見果てぬ宇宙の限りない可能性を象徴している。モスキーノのアプローチは遊び心とユーモアを前面に押し出しているが、そうした楽しさの裏にはシリアスなメッセージが込められている。ジャクリーン・オナシスのファッションは盾と剣の両方で、彼女はファッションで作り上げた架空の自分像から力を得ることができたというのだ。今シーズン、自分のストーリーを装いで語るなら、女性パワーが漲る服を選びたい。

74: A GENTLE TOUCH 優しい肌ざわり

ブルネロ・クチネリのカシミア会社は人間主義の原則に基づいている。イタリア人デザイナーのクチネリが、ファッションビジネスへの画期的アプローチについてジンジャー・ローズ・クラークに語った。イタリアはペルージャ州の丘の上、美しい小村に中世の城がそびえる。絵葉書にしたいくらいチャーミングなこの風景がソロメオ、高級カシミアブランド「ブルネロ・クチネリ」の本拠地だ。このブランドを知らない人なら、ブルネロ・クチネリは着心地抜群のニット、丹念に造形する仕立て、スタイリッシュなレジャーウェア、美しいライフスタイルコレクションのブランドといえばいいだろう。ただ、よくよく知れば、そうした高級品の裏に、深く根付いた人間主義的精神を基に築かれた会社がある。ブランド名と同名のデザイナー、ブルネロ・クチネリは1953年にカステル・リゴネで生まれた。彼の理念が芽生えたのは子供の頃のことだ。「僕にとって全ての始まりは、父が職場で侮辱され、感情を害して帰ってきたのを見た時でした。その時の父の顔を今でも覚えています。疲れ切って帰宅して、それでも不満を漏らすことはありませんでした。その時、自分に誓ったのです。自分が将来何をするかはわかりませんでしたが、人が職場で侮辱されるようなことは決してないようにしようと。」この心構えが、1978年にクチネリが設立した小さなカシミア会社の創立理念の一つになった。ソクラテス、カント、ルソー、マルクス・アウレリウスといった偉大な思想家の哲学と共に、会社を 40年にわたって形づくってきた企業精神だ。「人間の尊厳のために生き、働きたいというのが当初からの夢でした」とクチネリはいう。「人間の尊厳をないがしろにして利益を上げるべきではないという考えが常にありました。人を仕事と会社の中心に据えるために何か意義あることができると考えたのです。」クチネリの妻の故郷ソロメオも、会社の本質を明らかにする上で大きな役割を果たした。この町の魅力に誘われて1982年にソロメオに移り住み、ブランドが成功し事業が成長したおかげで3 年後には城を購入した。クチネリは構想していた人間主義的な企業をソロメオで実現する。知識の拡大と土地や建造物の保全を目的として、町

に投資し、開発を徐々に進めてきた。今では地元地域の熟練工が建てたアートフォーラムが自慢で、そこにある劇場では国内外の様々なアーティストがステージに立っている。ジョン・ラスキンとウィリアム・モリスにインスピレーションを得て開校したソロメオ職人技術学校では、仕立て、ニットウェア、テキスタイル、農業、石造建築といった幅広い分野で未来の職人を訓練し、仕事に強い誇りの念を持つよう教え込んでいる。博学の雇用主に刺激を受けたブルネロ・クチネリの従業員は、手仕事と知識のバランスをとるよう大いに奨励される。クチネリが自社の職人を「現代アルチザン」という言葉で呼ぶのを好むのは、これが理由の一つだ。「現代アルチザンとは、例えばハサミとレーザーカッターの両方を使いこなせる人をいうのだと、常々いっています。テクノロジーを習得して意識的かつ慎重にバランスよく使うだけでなく、名著をひも解いて過去の偉大な精神に触れることにも積極的な新世代になって欲しいなと思います。」クチネリは手仕事の技を次世代へしっかりと伝える傍ら、「物理的存在の限界を超えた何か意義あるものをこれからの世代に引き継げるように」知識の伝達にも余念がない。人間主義的原則に特徴づけられる同社の気風もそうだが、ビジネスに対するクチネリの直感的アプローチもブランド快進撃の秘訣といっていいだろう。始めから市場のギャップを狙ってカラフルなカシミア製品を投入したことで、強固な財務基盤を確立し、それを土台に会社を築き上げることに成功したのだ。しかも、ソロメオを本拠とするブルネロ・クチネリは「メイド・イン・イタリア」のお墨付きの製品を提供している。同社ではこの品質基準をとても重視している。「それは天才、エレガンス、スタイル、人生に対する前向きな姿勢、仕事への敬意、職人技に対する敬意、自国への愛着、この土地への愛着を意味するからです。ナショナリズムやその類の思想とは全く関係ありません。むしろその逆です。現代的で国際感覚を持つ人こそが、特定の価値観を広めるアンバサダーになる。そういう人は良い人間であり、他人への思いやりを持つことが常に一番大事だと知っているのです。」クチネリはウンブリア州のニットの伝統を、中央アジアの素材であるカシミアと巧みに融合させてきた。このように伝統と高品質素材、製品の作り手に対する深い敬意が合わさって、ブルネロ・クチネリの製品をユニークなものにしている。「当社は、価値という意味でとても貴重でユニークなファブリック、カシミアに対するお客様の印象を globalblue.com

ガラリと変えました。そして、高額な服と高価な服の違いについて意識を高める上でも大きく貢献してきました」と、クチネリ。こうした哲学的、慈善的アプローチで経営されている高級衣料ブランドは少ない。「偉大なるロシアの著述家パーヴェル・フロレンスキイ曰く、『常に天を仰ぎ星を見つめる気持ちがなくてはならない』。人が日常生活の慌ただしさに紛れて周りにある深遠な美が見えなくなってしまっている現代、なおさら胸に響く言葉です。」カシミアで世界を制したブルネロ・クチネリは、この世の美しさに対して人々の目を開かせることにも成功している。
