Massimiliano Giornetti finds himself in a bit of a quandary this season. The Salvatore Ferragamo creative director seems interested in stretching himself as a designer—flexing his intellectual chops with deconstructed suits on the one hand, and amping up the sex appeal with all sorts of midriff-revealing silhouettes on the other. The issue is, neither of those new directions feels like such a natural fit for an Italian heritage label justly famous for its glamorous Hollywood affiliations and its bourgeois propriety. You can't begrudge Giornetti the attempt, but it's no easy task to make a cutoff blazer spliced in two at the waist as valid as the original classic version. And why go to all the fuss of kilts spilling extra front panels when more straightforward ones would look neater?
There's value in simplicity, as other pieces in this collection made obvious. We doubt there was a gal in the room who didn't respond to the glossy black trench that closed the show. It was polished in an unpretentious way. And a painted python jacket and coat? Those items have the potential to get the pulse racing. Just think of all the places a woman could take them where a snakeskin bra top won't do.

TEXTile Manifestoes
Pavel Liška, Robin R. Mudry, eds
UMPRUM, The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, Praha 2023, 456 pages, 21x27cm, ISBN 9788088308409

The TEXTile Manifestoes is an interdisciplinary anthology that assembles and interweaves questions related to textile art, fashion and textuality into broader political, sociological, philosophical, art history and historical frameworks thereby expanding their range of textural interconnections. The original project “TEXTile Manifestoes” emerged out of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between several studios at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Students from different disciplines worked together to weave textiles and discourses alike to design their manifestoes by combining fashion collections with burning contemporary issues such as mass surveillance, artificial intelligence or virtual reality but also to more private struggles of identity, memory and (mental) health. The students’ works were later complemented by and (re)contextualised with international contributions ranging from ancient Andean textile studies to neuropsychoanalysis or from literary and art criticism to aesthetics and musicology.

Bold,Beautiful and Damned
The world of 1980s fashion illustrator Tony Viramontes
Foreword by Jean Paul Gaultier
Lawrence King, London 2013, 194 pages,24x31cm, ISBN 978 1780067 3073
euro 60,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
When Tony Viramontes' work appeared in the late 1970s, his hard and direct style of drawing was a marked contrast to the prevailing soft-pastel school of fashion illustration. He scored immediate success, rapidly acquiring the kind of prestigious editorial commissions normally given to photographers, from Lei, Per Lui in Italy, Vogue in the USA, The Face in Britain, and Le Monde and Le Figaro in France. This beautiful hardcover book brings together an extensive collection of his work, featuring striking images of smoldering and smoky-eyed men and women who vibrate with New Wave energy. Viramontes worked with some of the most celebrated names in fashion including Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Chanel, Claude Montana, and Christian Dior.

Tauba Auerback - S v Z 
Texts by Joseph Becker, Jenny Gheith and Linda Dalrymple Henderson
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco 2020, 256 pages, 485 illustrations, 21x30cm, ISBN 978-1-94288-55-2
euro 49,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
Part artist's book, part exhibition catalog, this book chronicles Tauba Auerbach’s multimedia syntheses of abstraction, science, graphic design and typography
Tauba Auerbach studies the boundaries of perception through an art and design practice grounded in math, science and craft. Published in conjunction with the first major survey of the artist’s work, this volume, designed by Auerbach in collaboration with David Reinfurt, spans 16 years of their career, highlighting their interest in concepts such as duality and its alternatives, interconnectedness, rhythm and four-dimensional geometry. Encapsulating Auerbach’s longstanding consideration of symmetry, texture and logic, the title S v Z offers a framework for this volume’s typeface, design and structure. Images of more than 130 paintings, drawings, sculptures and artist’s books are mirrored by a comprehensive selection of related reference images, illuminating their multifaceted practice as never before. The book contains original marble patterns created specially for the book by the artist on both the endpapers and the edges of the book block. The cover is lettered in Auerbach’s calligraphy, applied in black foil on a silver paper. The typeface was designed by David Reinfurt with Auerbach expressly for this publication, and is based on their handwriting. New York–based artist Tauba Auerbach (born 1981) grew up in San Francisco and graduated from Stanford University in 2003. She apprenticed and worked as a sign painter at New Bohemia Signs in San Francisco. In 2013 she founded Diagonal Press. They are represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, and Standard Oslo.

Jasper Johns The Screenprints
Fondazione Trussardi
Roberta Bernstein
Allemandi & C., Torino 1998, 52 pagine, 18 ill.a colori e grande tavola ripegata 7 volte fuori testo di cm128, libro di 22,5x33,5cm., ISBN 88-422-0820-5,
euro 50,00
Mostra Milano Marino alla Scala Art Center
Jasper Johns experimented with seriality, materiality, and appropriation and helped bridge Abstract Expressionism with the modernist art movements that followed, including Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism. Johns often pushed the same motif across various media to explore new possibilities for the image. In his famous paintings of the American flag, Johns referenced both concrete iconography and his own previous versions of artworks. Abstract hatchings are another signature motif for Johns. On paper and canvas, these marks highlight the artist’s conscious control of gesture and form: a major divergence from the bravura brushstrokes of Johns’s Ab-Ex predecessors. Johns spent semesters at the University of South Carolina and Parsons School of Design before dropping out and joining the army. In the 1950s, he was part of New York’s avant-garde arts scene alongside longtime friend, lover, and collaborator Robert rauschenberg. He has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo, Cologne, and San Francisco, among other cities. His work belongs in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art N.Y., the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Tate Gallery and Nationalmuseum  in Stockholm.

Un mondo di sguardi
Gianluigi Sosio
copia 56/100, 180 pagine + CDRom, 30x21,5cm
euro 80,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
… e poi gli sguardi e la necessità della loro emozionante ricerca.  Sguardi fugaci e indecifrabili, sguardi che sfuggono per non rivelare segreti e sguardi taglienti come spade, traboccanti di dignità e di vita.  Sguardi che raccontano schegge d’esistenza, sguardi talvolta così simili, anche se incontrati agli opposti angoli del mondo, da restituire quasi un senso di familiarità, un significato più profondo e completo al mio mondo.  Negli occhi di quelle persone ho visto ciò che non si può toccare, emozioni che si possono rivivere o raccontare solo attraverso le immagini. Scorci che lasciano solo intuire senza mai definire, regalando a chi guarda la libertà di cogliere quel tutto e quel niente che prende forma solo nell’intimità più profonda, tra le pieghe della propria sensibilità.  Uno sguardo è un momento unico ed irripetibile, un attimo che basta a se stesso, un impalpabile contatto empatico che viene fissato attraverso la luce per restituire, in un lampo, un mosaico fatto di colori e di misteri. Non solo fatti ma vite, non solo pezzi di mondo ma visioni del mondo.  Davanti a certi volti ci si trova costretti ad andare oltre i singoli avvenimenti per approdare ad esistenze intere, una dopo l’altra, anima dopo anima.

Triennale Milano è da cento anni un punto di riferimento internazionale per la cultura del progetto. Dal 1923, con l’avvio delle Esposizioni Internazionali, ha investigato e mostrato il meglio delle arti decorative, del design e dell’architettura italiana e internazionale.

Mostra Padova Aprile Fotografia 07 - 7 aprile 27 maggio 2007
La rassegna, promossa dall’Assessorato alle Politiche Culturali e Spettacolo – Centro Nazionale di Fotografia e curata da Enrico Gusella e Brasilia Pellegrinelli, presenta una particolare antologia di immagini dell’artista italiano Mario Schifano (1934–1998), nella quale il mezzo fotografico diventa il pretesto per un’azione pittorica di appropriazione e comprensione del mondo. L’esposizione mette in luce un aspetto meno noto al pubblico della sua arte, aggiungendo un elemento prezioso di ulteriore lettura dell’immagine fotografica.
Nato con l’anima esclusiva di pittore, Schifano sceglie di contaminare la pittura con il flusso e le retoriche narrative del cinema, con l’asserzione e la corporeità ambigua della fotografia. Cattura, scatto dopo scatto, con meraviglia, immagini di un mondo televisivo da scoprire, dentro il quale ritrovare altri percorsi artistici. A seguire è l’intervento pittorico, brusco e veloce, provocatorio ed eccentrico.
Schifano non riceve le immagini, ma le “guarda”, “scava” dentro, padroneggia, anche quando è più appariscente il suo rapporto con la casualità. La superficie dell’immagine originale, sottratta al mondo televisivo, diventa il campo di apparizione iconografica su cui si intrecciano l'occhio meccanico dell'obiettivo fotografico e l’istintività della mano che segna la foto. Il suo sguardo si posa senza filtri né preconcetti sull’immagine, ed egli assume su se stesso il compito di ritrovarne il respiro, riaccende le riproduzioni, le rimette in movimento, le smonta e le manipola, consapevole del fatto che si tratta di un processo senza fine, perché l’immagine compiuta non può essere che morta, e dunque nessun processo deve prevedere il proprio compimento.
Le fotografie sono ritoccate a pennello, quasi a sottolineare alcuni atteggiamenti o rafforzare un’espressione attraverso l’uso di colori vistosi ed esagerati; una cornice nera che assume il significato di finestra di congiunzione tra due mondi in continuo dialogo: il tubo catodico e l’occhio fotografico di Mario Schifano.
