“The conceptual” by Beatrice Brandini

Ai Weiwei “LIBERO”

Florence, until 22 January 2017, houses the first major retrospective of the most celebrated and discussed Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei.

The exhibition, curated by Arturo Galansino, by the title, “LIBERO”, shows all its intentions. In the facade of one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, to Strozzi Palace (seat of the exhibition), 22 red rubber boats form an installation, they want to sue, remember (maybe shake the conscience), migrants crossing the Mediterranean to reach the Europe.

Light teaches Club Flamingo

“Black Pink” by Beatrice Brandini

I always loved the pink flamingo, animal by slender and elegant structure as well as its “logo” that cyclically is taken in the summer loan. In the collective imagination (in my definitely) it is something that has to do with the holidays so with relaxation, the carefree (is a very American 50’s symbol), the joy of living. But also with the continuous search for balance (for its slender legs) and the class, especially in the way that moves the neck. Read more →

“Asia” by Beatrice Brandini

It ended also this edition of Pitti Filati, the last, chronologically, between the three magnificent fairs organized by Pitti Immagine. Some people will think that I use words like these because I’m biased, because I’m from Florence or be in some “cute” way with the organizers to me is easier. All wrong and who knows me knows. This site was born out of passion, my immense passion for fashion and for everything that is beautiful, serious, creative, professional, interesting … it connects to it. Ad nothing, nothing “hustler”, no selfies or anything else. I speak well of Pitti because every time get in these fairs, see how transformed the city, such as (important) events are organized, can only make me express in terms more than enthusiastic. Italy has some flaws, but we are especially us Italians, at times, the biggest problem of our country, always critical, never united, cohesive rarely, some professors in each field … instead of recognizing and enhancing the merit that should be natural, as well as a habit.
