FASHION&DESIGN VS TECHNOLOGY

For its vocation, Superstudio intercepts trends that collects and retransmits, through its events, the changes of society in different fields, but in particular and periodically, in fashion, in design and in communication. We have asked big representatives of theses fields an opinion on how much technology is going to influence their work.
GIORGIO ARMANI: A DISCREET TECHNOLOGY THAT RESPECTS VALUES. A rare coherence that didn’t keep him, always being himself, from moving in harmony with times and align to innovations, Giorgio Armani became the Greatest and undisputed fashion creator acclaimed all over the world. “When I started working, everything was much different. Communication tools were the traditional ones, the bond between fashion and innovation were still at an early stage. Things have changed today: social media are extremely popular, and it is necessary to keep pace with them, bringing one’s own thoughts and personal vision on the most followed platforms. At the same time, big brands and big companies show always more interest and attention towards innovation, pointing more and more towards anathic and correct approach, complying with the environment and worl..

With three questions to Alvise Braga IIIa, founder and chairman of the company TXT e-solutions and of the start-up Sense-immaterial Reality, we discover how new technologies will bring more beauty around us. Design, fashion, art, digitalization and innovation. How can/should these elements dialogue with each other? The boarders among art, design, fashion, technology, in all their forms and for everyone’s taste and culture, will continue to lessen until they disappear. Can we oppose to these transformations? Of course not, we must navigate in the new ocean, with courage, as well as with competence and creativity.What is it going to change over the next ten or twenty years?I think there will be an end to the most extreme forms of “I produce in excess, I sell at diminishing “price points”, I place the rest on alternati..

She is the most famous, esteemed and the most sought-after. She is the curator of Architecture and Design sector of MoMa of New York, where she arrived very young answering a job-posting on a newspaper, but also of the Broken Nature exhibition at Triennale of Milan where she points the finger at the environmental disaster. Gisella Borioli met her on the occasion of Lexus International Design Award. 

Your professional history is emblematic, especially in Italy. Is America always America?
I would rather say that New York is always New York. MoMa was an exceptional starting point. If you do something at MoMa, everyone sees it. There are extraordinary curators in the world that have not the visibility and opportunities that I have. However things are changing. There are many Biennials, Triennials, Design Weeks that are becoming popular, in Indiana, Istanbul, Beijing for example. Curators search for innovation. Nothing better than having the opportunity to discover other cities.

Interview with Paola Navone.An anticipative designer that has always dialogued with cultures, historical periods, ethnics groups, diversities. A creator of objects, environments, atmospheres, emotions in complete freedom. Thus made her great and unique. Paola Navone does not follow trends, she creates them. What has changed in the last twenty years of design? And what will change in the last year that will take us to 2020? I think, if God permits, there is more freedom. It’s already a good answer. It’s not as if you can analyze changes, the real change is that by now everything coexists and everything can coexist more and more. What will change? The level of freedom will increase. Do you think this freedom expresses the fact that design has intercepted thousands other products, thousands other needs, thousands other expressions? Le..

Interview with Councilor Cristina Tajani.If Milan has become the most attractive city in Europe in such short time, it is also thanks to who governs it with new spirit. Among these, the council member for Fashion, Design and Productive Activities Cristina Tajani, a young competent and passionate woman that revitalised the city.A Miracle happened: Milano pre-Expo was experienced as a static city, even a bit boring. Today, it is considered Europe’s most exciting capital and touristic and creative destination where everybody wants to come. How did this happen in such short time? I think aiming on an open schedule of quality events for different public, built in synergy with private citizens has been the winning decision: it has pushed the image of Milan towards a city open to the world, rich in culture, art, sociality. The week-events are ..

In just a few years Slide has become a leading manu-facturer of plastic furniture produced using the technology of rotational moulding. How did this sensational growth come about?We were the first in the world to have the idea of de-veloping a complete range of luminous furniture that com-prises tables, seats, bar counters, vases and decorative objects that have made it possible to change the setting of events, public establishments and gardens. Before we started on our production, luminosity was limited to flood-lights, spots and other light sources that were not part of the furnishings and served only to illuminate. With the new luminous furniture the atmosphere has become ‘magical’.Alongside industrial production, you personally oversee a section of contemporary art with sculptures entrusted to famous architects or artists that oft..
