Le pagelle: BCBG MAX AZRIA FALL WINTER 2011 2012

Altro giro altra corsa, si ricomincia, nel vero senso della parola cominciamo di nuovo a non fare nulla. Fumo blu, arancio corallo, corda, nero... soffiati sui corpi che sovrapponendosi per trasparenze realizzano abiti fluttuanti e leggeri anche d'inverno.

E' un'eleganza strettamente legata a sfumature sporty: l'abito da favola incontra la palestra nell'ora di spinning con una ciclette tenuta in discesa... allenamento facile e poco utile... a volte divertente, affascinante... altre volte noioso. La dimenticheremo nel giro di 10 secondi....9...8..7... un 6!

Storie

Mi guardava con attenzione avvicinandosi lentamente, puntandomi gli occhi addosso come una punta di lancia diretta verso il suo obiettivo. Sembrava un kamikaze dal passo felpato pronto a farsi esplodere nella mia tranquillità.
Non mi succede spesso di andarmene in giro con dei miei dipinti sotto braccio, a volte però mi capita di doverli portare in accademia... o di doverli riportare a casa. E' un tragitto che non li risparmia agli occhi altrui nonostante il mio imbarazzo si interponga tra me e gli altri come uno scudo: la pittura, anche quando produce esperienze insignificanti, dovrebbe rimanere sempre intima fino a quando, chi la produce, non ritiene che sia giunto il momento di liberarsene. Non ho mai amato i miei quadri ne il mio modo di dipingere... accademico... razionale... forse troppo bloccato.
Quella mattina ero in stazione... il treno nuovamente in ritardo... l'esame era stato dato e, nel frattempo, si era alzato un venticello freddo che mi infastidiva facendo sbattere qua e la quella tela che avevo sottomano: sui passanti, sulle cose, sull'attesa. Lei era ancora abbastanza più in la... mi accorsi di lei quando l'ho vista avvicinarsi senza troppi convenevoli e chiedermi, con un sorriso trettenuto, di "poter vedere". Avrà avuto poco più di sessant'anni, minuta, si accarezzava i capelli portando quelle ciocche arruffate dietro le piccole orecchie aperte come piccole rose ai lati della sua testa appena appassita, fagocitata in un cappotto che le arrivava alle ginocchia e che lasciava scoperto l'orlo di una gonna, sempre nera, che le sfiorava la pelle. Le scarpe basse, velate di freddo e di una polvere leggera che sapeva di storia, diventavano dolci in un bottone rotondo cucito sul lato. Il vento passandole tra i capelli emetteva un leggero lamento: una parola biascicata prima di un racconto.
"E' meraviglioso!"
Le ho risposto con un sorriso... di quelli che a volte dicono troppo, a volte troppo poco.
"In Albania facevo la ballerina, mi ricorda quando ero giovane"... in un italiano lento e spezzettato che tradiva un accento quasi compunto.
Non ricordo cosa le abbia risposto, lei era rimasta li a guardare la superficie brillante del dipinto ma era già lontanissima, vagava forse nel mare dei suoi ricordi in subbuglio o nel nulla più assoluto dell'impotenza resa dal tempo. Qualcosa di certo l'aveva strappata al suo presente.
Non posso fare a meno di pensare a quella vecchia ballerina... per chissà quale ragione ha incrociato il mio percorso una mattina di febbraio perdendosi e sparendo distrattamente nel suo.

Miu Miu Spring Summer 2011... nel guardaroba di Moda in Segni

Gabriele Colangelo direttore creativo di Borbonese (linea Premium)

Gabriele Colangelo nuovo direttore creativo della linea premium di Borbonese.
Il giovane stilista italiano si accolla l'impresa titanica di rilanciare il marchio fondato nel 1910..... quello per cui la media borghesia venderebbe ovaie e prole, capra e cavoli su e-bay, prendendo il posto del designer di origine israeliana Yossi Cohen, nominato alla direzione creativa di Ballantyne.

La collezione, composta da un centinaio di pezzi tra ready-to-wear e accessori, debutterà il 27 febbraio a Milano nella sede della maison in via Nino Bixio con l’autunno-inverno 2011-2012.

Nel guardaroba, 15 outfit, una ventina di modelli di borse, calzature e bijoux che rendono omaggio alla tradizione del marchio con un’allure classico-contemporanea.

Ma non è l’unica novità (continua a leggere per favore): sempre per Borbonese, in previsione anche il lancio di una collezione di arredi, in licenza a Matteo Grassi, che sarà svelata durante il Salone del Mobile di Milano il prossimo aprile e l’inaugurazione del nuovo monomarca milanese in via Spiga, 50, l’esclusiva location occupata dal 1948 dalla storica salumeria Armandola.

Salumeria Armandola???????
SALUMERIA ARMANDOLA????!!!!!!
