Sometimes the past knocks on the door, all at once. This autumn, Milan paid homage to the legends of yesterday. My journey down memory lane began with the exhibition dedicated to Aldo Fallai at Armani/Silos, followed by the Ballo&Ballo show at Castello Sforzesco, the photography exhibition of Ugo Mulas at Palazzo Reale, and Elio Fiorucci at Triennale, culminating in the Franco Moschino exhibition marking 30 years since his passing, held at our MyOwnGallery.
Next year will mark 25 years of Superstudio Più in Via Tortona—a visionary initiative that played a role in reshaping the city through creativity. It has been a journey through fashion, art, and photography, one I was fortunate to partake in, and whose milestones I am pleased to reflect on here.

Invited by Fabiana Giacomotti, fashion editor of Il Foglio, to write for the prestigious newspaper, the co-founder and president of Superstudio Group, with a background leading important magazines such as Vogue Donna and Madame Class Figaro, retraces the journey of Italian fashion, of which she has been a witness from the 1970s to today. She hopes that stakeholders will find a way to overcome the crisis and restore its prestige. (Il Foglio, November 7, 2024, Fashion Supplement)

MUDEC dedicates to Niki de Saint Phalle, an eclectic and multifaceted artist, a beautiful exhibition, in Italy the first comprehensive retrospective that traces her entire artistic career in dialogue with her personal life marked by trauma and pain, often reworked through art. The colorful, polyform, maternal and joyful works thus acquire a new and deeper meaning, and the exhibition is an opportunity to deepen our knowledge of Niki de Saint Phalle as an artist and as a woman. Gisella Borioli, president of Superstudio, visited it, reliving the emotions of her first encounters with her Nanas.

Vogue Italia is celebrating 60 years, a milestone birthday, and the “Sixty Years Of Vogue Italia” exhibition at Palazzo Clerici brings its history to life through its 60 most iconic covers. It was Flavio Lucchini who created the Italian edition of Vogue and for a full 17 years, as art director, he animated the magazine, revolutionizing the entire fashion publishing industry. Alongside him was his wife Gisella Borioli. Today, the founders of Superstudio, do not forget those incredible years and continue to search for beauty in each of their projects.

The refined ballo&ballo exhibition at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan dedicated to the legendary photographer Aldo Ballo and his wife MariRosa, reminded me of distant times when I had the privilege of working with them for Ottagono magazine. The essential and perfect photos, of absolute beauty, told with light and shadow the evolution of design without any other artifice. Sometimes Aldo would introduce a living, almost casual presence into them. Once it was my turn, in an unforgettable photo.
