Moschino's "Vuoto" Exhibition

The 30th Anniversary of the legendary Moschino label has been marked with an exhibition of some of the late Franco Moschino's paintings. This is a rare opportunity to gander at art originally created for the labels 1989/1990 Autumn/Winter campaign and for the 10th Anniversary of the fashion house. All the paintings give an insight into the vision of the late designer's fascination with Surrealism and Dadaism, which successfully flowed into his fashion collections. Fashion paintings are a given, but other subjects are touched upon, including cultural relations, Romanticism and even the parody of the famous René Magritte painting "The Son of Man". The exhibition is held at one of Rome's illustrious shopping strips, right near the landmark Piazza Di Spagna, until 31st January.

Fendi's New Fountain

The glorious Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy, a popular tourist destination and a significant Italian historical piece of architecture, is to be restored under a project initiated by Fendi. Sophia Venuturi Fendi, Creative Director and Head Designer for Fendi, and the illustrious King of Fashion, Karl Lagerfeld, will be running the initiative. The project aims not only to bring renewed life into the fountain, but also merge the creative forces of Fendi and Lagerfeld to further emphasize the importance of Fashion in Italian arts and culture. I look forward to seeing the undoubtedly beautiful result of the project! Watch the video below for more information on the project.
