Definitely a man who makes headlines: when he is the protagonist of groundbreaking performances in the art world, when he enters politics, when he erupts in outbursts, and even when he remains silent, in suffering. Today, as he enters a new phase of his life, I recall with respect the occasions we shared and the past connections with Superstudio.

When Vittorio Sgarbi first appeared on the Milan scene, it was Giorgio Armani who invited him, at his then-headquarters on Via Durini, to comment on the new wave of fashion beginning to absorb Japanese influence.

Milan Fashion Week is in the full of its ferment and Superstudio Più has returned to be the main home of White Milano, from where it debuted in 2002. Inaugurated with the participation of the assessor Alessia Cappello, the event is transforming as always the Tortona Fashion District into a unique meeting point for anyone who seeks the future of fashion.

This year the conducting thread is “Tabula Rasa”. It is not only a title, but a true and proper manifesto: to zero out to reconstruct.

The FlavioLucchiniArt Museum participates in the new edition of MuseoCity 2026 with its distinctive use of white, several works from the archive usually not accessible to the public, and sculptures that engage in a dialogue with the city. An invitation to look and be surprised by the works of Flavio Lucchini.

As the Olympic Games draw to a close, the energy of the competitions gives way to Milan's cultural heritage with MuseoCity 2026, the event promoted by the Municipality of Milan in collaboration with the Associazione MuseoCity ETS.

Forget the catwalk. Diesel detonates the opening of Milano Fashion Week at the Superstudio Maxi and turns it into a riotous carnival. A merry-go-round, a playground, a flex market crammed with toys, plush animals, figurines and bric-à-brac in every conceivable colour and shape. In the middle: models and clothes. All around: music, adrenaline and thunderous applause for the powerhouse pairing of Renzo Rosso and Glenn Martens.

Is it a supersized playground for grown-up children, or the chaotic after-party of a night that went too far? It’s impossible to say. It’s messy. And that’s precisely why it works.

The major celebration of sport and entertainment at the Milan Cortina Olympics and in other mountain locations across Lombardy has come to an end in the best possible way. Everyone is happy — especially the Dutch team, with its impressive medal haul. And of course Superstudio, which hosted them with parties and interactive experiences in the magnificent CASA OLANDA on Via Tortona.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics have come to an end with a grand finale. And just like that, Casa Olanda — hosted at Superstudio Più — has concluded, and we already miss it. 

From 26 February to 1 March, WHITE returns to the spaces of Superstudio Più. The format of the most renowned contemporary fashion fair—hosted in our venue for twenty-five years—remains true to itself, while its international outlook expands and renews, turning its focus toward the East. Highly anticipated and strategically significant is the presence of cutting-edge brands from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Korea and Japan, with the goal of acting as a bridge and driving force for Made in Italy. As always, this is an unmissable event—essential for buyers, indispensable for trend-setters and talent scouts.

With the Sanremo Festival on the horizon, nhow Milan is gearing up to transform into a design-savvy living room, ready to welcome fans, curious onlookers, and night owls alike to experience the event together, much like you would at a friend’s place, only in a far more pop-infused setting. This marks the latest metamorphosis for the hotel, a neighbour of Superstudio, which, born in the former General Electric headquarters, has evolved into an unconventional model of hospitality, a space where art, design, and entertainment converge, and a go-to outpost during the Milan Design Week.

You never quite know what’s coming next. A fashion show? An art exhibition? A party? Or maybe a corporate event that somehow ends with a DJ set? At nhow Milan, almost anything can happen.

Work is in progress in Milan’s Tortona district, where the city’s first professional hub is steadily taking shape. Two years ago Giorgio Armani acquired part of the former Deloitte complex - the consultancy giant having since relocated to another area of the city - and began transforming it into a campus open to all, where work becomes something altogether more special. Three surface buildings remain available, awaiting innovative, visionary buyers capable of integrating into the project and helping to create a multitasking urban space, open to ideas, expertise, services, opportunities and sociability, continuing the urban revolution long driven by Superstudio Più and Armani himself.

A handful of narrow, tightly clustered streets, lined with a dense sequence of buildings marked by an equally dense succession of street numbers.

Released in February for “Arte e Moda” is the latest publication by Flavio Lucchini (following Cahier, Dress Art, From Fashion to Art: the Vogue lesson, and Il Destino). Founder of Superstudio Group and full-time artist, today at 97 years old, Lucchini wished to publish an essential book-catalogue of his works, personally chosen from the hundreds in the archive as a symbol of his immense work. The dress as an urban totem, narrated through images and words. Arte e Moda. Edizione Superstudio.
Cultura adesso. Un’economia contemporanea (Culture Now. A Contemporary Economy) by Franco Broccardi has arrived in bookstores. Broccardi is Superstudio’s accountant, an expert in cultural economics and art management with the mind of a writer and the heart of a poet. An interesting, all-encompassing analysis, free of preconceptions, on how important art and culture are in contemporary society and how they must be valued to generate a positive economy and a generalized, salvific interest. Cultura adesso.

The “renaissance” of the immensely wealthy and ambitious states of the Middle East continues to astonish with bold political, architectural, artistic, and technological initiatives that are reshaping the global geography of cultural destinations. The arrival in Qatar, during the first week of February, of the prestigious Art Basel fair — which has expanded from Basel to Miami, Hong Kong, Paris, and now Doha — is the latest sign of its unstoppable development.

Landing at Doha airport and encountering Urs Fischer’s gigantic yellow bear, one gisimmediately senses that Qatar is a country that assigns great importance to art.
