Mum's Flowers

Today is my mum's birthday. 

Because I'm so far away 

I've prepared 

this 

vitual 

bouquet 

of her favourite flowers. 

Tulipans. 

Happy Birthday, Mum. 

Ti voglio bene. 

Oggi è il compleanno della mia mamma. 

Siccome sono così lontana 

ho preparato 

questo 

mazzo 

virtuale 

dei suoi fiori preferiti. 

I tulipani. 

Tanti Auguri Mammina. 

Ti voglio bene.

Capitocome & Patrizia Laquidara

Once upon a time 

I was making this collection in a flat 

on Tevere in Rome 

such a hot summer 

Patrizia Laquidara's songs just dropped in my life 

in my Collection. 

This woman is just 
enough girl 

enough woman 

enough deep 

and enough vain 

she's theatrical 

but she's one of the most natural 

person I've ever talked with. 

She has called her new tour CENTO SOTTANE 

wich is 100 skirts 

as every woman has 

100 skirts  

100 personalities. 

She is wearing Capitocome 

Kadiri Coat. 

I made with her 

this kind of tale, 

of a Doll 

in a little house in the bush 

who's playing to be a Singer. 

Who knows why. 

And who knows what's the next skirt on her.
For now,

Patrizia Laquidara & Capitocome  Gallery.

M.I.A.

I'm writing this post about M.I.A.

because

1)she's a smart Gypsy. 

That one who in the school had all good votes 

but terrible CONDUCT. 

/I know something about this/

2)she's been doing WHATEVER she wanted to do since when she was nobody (famous) 

but the amazing thing is that 

SHE'S KEEPING GOING 

3)I find really cool her way to 
TAKE THE PISS OUT OF FASHION 

being fashionable and talking about POLITIC 

in the same time. 

(playing with the themes of identity politics, globalism, and revolution, 

M.I.A. addressed several conflicts and oppressed peoples around the world, 

including Tamils, Palestinians, 

and African-Americans). 

4)in the end, she started a trend of 

afromania, 90's bla bla bla which is really NOW. 

5)she is dealing with Visa problems,

and she answers to Rolling Stones to the question: SO WHAT ABOUT IF YOU COULDN'T GET THE U.S. VISA... 

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?

"Space. I'm over Earth.

Earth is so 2000-and fucking-9.

I'm trying to make friends with Richard Branson,

I was like YOU KNOW, RICHARD, I JUST WANT TO BE THAT PERSON THAT LIVES IN SPACE FOR A WHILE.

He's like WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S 300 GRAND. YOU COULD AFFORD IT.

The Real Frock Stars

FROCK STARS

@ The PowerHouse Museum 

is an exhibition that 

TAKES YOU BEHIND THE SCENES 

OF THE AUSTRALIAN FASHION. 

cool. 

They actually invited us 

"to EXPERIENCE 

what it’s like to be in the front row, 

 see a catwalk display of top Australian designers, 

enjoy the buzz of backstage, 

explore the creative process of putting together a collection, 

and relax in the VIP lounge". 

What do you want to know more 

about fashion. 

Well. 

It's not just flowers...

Capitocome BACKstage

I menaged to publish this gallery when I was leaving Italy,

but maybe now, after 8 months so far away,

it's even better.

I called it BACKstage

'cause it's actually a kind of

"BACK" on that period,

such a "full in" period

of Capitocome stage...

and not only for me...

many people, and places, and situations

have been involved in this project.

As usual,

I'm publishing them complitely random

and with just 1 common connession

the stage of Capitocome.

I've got to thank

all the people I was lucky to work with,

I had so much fun,

and learning as well.

I DO MISS ALL

OF THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

AND PEOPLE.

FOR NOW, i'M PUBLISHING THEM HERE.

http://www.capitocome.it/gallery-backstage1.html

Capitocome?

D'you understand what I mean?

Avevo deciso di pubblicare questa gallery quando stavo partendo,

con la pubblicazione del sito,

ma forse ora, dopo 8 mesi così lontano,

è anche meglio.

L'ho chiamata BACKstage

proprio perchè è un pò come tornare

in"DIETRO"

a quel -pienissimo- periodo

del "teatrino" di Capitocome...

e non solo per me...

tante persone, e luoghi, e situazioni

sono stati coinvolti in questo progetto.

Al solito

li metto completamente random

e con solo una comune connessione,

il teatrino di Capitocome.

Devo ringraziare

tutte le persone

con cui ho avuto la fortuna di lavorare,

mi sono verante divertita tantissimo,

così come ho imparato tanto.

MI MANCANO,

QUESTE BELLE COSE

E PERSONE.

PER ORA LE METTO QUA.

KENNETH ANGER and Fashion

Sometimes ago

I read this brilliant post 

which was talking about fashion. 

Brilliant, read it because it's brilliant... 

then, tonight I've tought... 

and what about KENNETH ANGER? 

This one, I think is the oldest movie about fashion 

I know. 

Just stunning. 

And Missoni's latest campaign 

has the same 

fabulous 

style. 

Which is terribly RIGHT NOW 

and retro in the same time. 

Kenneth Anger is a genius. That's all.
