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,

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



@ 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.


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.

Melbourne is Shops

Forth answer to the question

whataboutMelbourne is
MELBOURNE IS SHOPS.

Best Visual Merchandising:

/March Studios concept, when Architecture is just OVERALL/


Best Shop Concept:
/just CLEVER, in WHATEVER/


Best Shop:

/the Australian version of Colette, such as WHAT'S COOL BEFORE THE OTHERS, but also a great support to independent designers... 
while, you know, Colette in Paris is a bit 
conservative-upper-proud 
to do this/
