The loss of a personality Eof this kind engaged the whole world for different reasons. Bowie was in fact, a great all round artist, not only a popstar but a real icon of pop culture. He revolutionised male aesthetic canons back in the years of Glam Rock, by playing with androgeny 40 years ago. If we think that still today, in society and in fashion, we talk about gender, agender, genderful and genderless as if they were a new phenomenon, it gives an idea of the importance of celebrities like him. Sadly, as I was saying, last year was studded with other important losses, which involved the arts, culture and fashion. Among these were many other pop celebrities who were very influential as far as custom and male canons are concerned. Prince for example was the living synthesis of rock and black music, creating for himself an aesthetic world of glamour and sex, making lace and heels virile and surrounding himself with an entourage made up of fascinating people from the most disparate ethnic groups. It was perhaps a heavily charged aesthetic universe, but it was hypnotic and difficult to ignore. Then there was the passing of Pete Burns the lead singer of Dead or Alive who together with Boy George, Marilyn and others had inherited Bowie’s mantle in the ‘80s, imposing a look defined as gender bender, in which the male and female coexisted. Lastly, on Christmas day, George Michael died, the lead singer of Wham! in the ‘80s, the inspiration for the boy bands who would come after, he had imposed a type, the handsome boy next door, highly groomed, tanned and well dressed. At that time the designer Katherine Hamnett collaborated with the duo for the T-shirts worn in the video for Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, whilst later during his solo career George Michael entered into the network of the House of Versace. The loss of personalities like these is symbolic in an historic moment where fashion and lifestyles are regulated by online marketing and influencers, who are no longer top level artists but ‘normal’ youngsters, who become famous on the web for divers reasons. The record industry, as the sociologist Emanuele Bassetti writes in his article in this issue, seems to have given in to this new reality, in part by reducing the relationship between fashion and music to a mere question of sponsorship and thereby weakening the coherence of the aesthetic content. If once upon a time young people chose their idols to emulate and copy in everything, as we are told in the column Fashion Who Reads by Tommaso Paradiso who as a young man searched for clothes like those worn by Noel Gallagher of Oasis, today on the other hand with instant access and an enormous quantity of stimuli and information, there is nothing for it but to be oneself. To rework all the aesthetic information available and choose the right style demands an exercise in personality to be sure, but it is worth the effort.

In Reggie Blaszczyk and Ben Wubs (Eds.), The Fashion Forecasters: A Hidden History of Color and Trend Prediction (pp. 191-209). London: Bloomsbury Academic Publishing. 10 THE ROLE OF THE PITTI UOMO TRADE FAIR IN THE MENSWEAR FASHION INDUSTRY Mariangela Lavanga enswear no longer lives in the shadow of women’s wear. According to a recent article from the Business of Fashion website, the growth of menswear has outpaced Mthat of women’s wear since at last 2011.1 Until the 1970s, male fashion in Europe mainly focused on tailoring and smaller-scale production of ready-to-wear, or confection, producing shirts, and underwear. One exception was the famous menswear tailoring industry in Leeds, England, which clothed British working-class and middle-class men in stylish suits for a century until its demise in the late twentieth century. London’s Savile Row traditionally set the trends for the high end of the industry. Aer the 1970s, men’s ready-to- wear and men’s haute couture start to grow elsewhere in Europe. Trends and styles in menswear change much more slowly than in women’s fashion; however, the pace of those changes is increasing. One of the world’s most important players for menswear is the international fashion trade fair Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy. Pitti Uomo was established in 1972 under the umbrella of the non-prot organization Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana (CFMI-Florentine Centre for the Italian Fashion), which today is the holding of Pitti Immagine (ocially born in 1988).

PAGE 2 APPEAL EXPECTED Dolce and Gabbana Guilty in Tax Trial By LUISA ZARGANI SPRING 2014 MILAN — Guilty. That was the verdict handed down to Domenico MILAN Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as well as four other MEN’S defendants, here Wednesday afternoon in the design- COLLECTION ers’ long-running tax evasion case. Judge Antonella THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY ■ $3.00 PREVIEW Brambilla sentenced the designers and accountant Luciano Patelli to one year and eight months in jail, WWD plus legal expenses. Dolce’s brother Alfonso, gen- eral director Cristiana Ruella and fi nance director Giuseppe Minoni were sentenced to one year and four months in jail plus legal expenses. There is little chance the designers and the other defendants will serve any jail time because the sen- tences are below the two-year minimum generally re- quired in Italy to do so. The defendants were also charged with paying the Revenue Agency a provisional fi ne of 500,000 euros, or $668,650 at current exchange. The plaintiff solicitor Gabriella Valadia at the end of May asked for a provision- al fi ne of 10 million euros, or $13 million, citing damages to the image of the Revenue Service. Valadia at the time claimed that tax evasion “shows a system that is not cred- ible and effi cacious, it hurts the credibility of the Italian fi scal system, aggravated by the fact that the individuals at the center of the trial are so famous.” The court’s fi ne is separate from one imposed by the Revenue Agency of more than 400 million euros, or $535 million at current exchange, at the end of March.

  • Debut of BAD INFLUENCE at the 96Th Edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo Spring-Summer 2020 - Menswear Collection
    REVENANT (English) – Survived; Survivor. | From the Latin Redivivus ‘restored, renewed.’ A person who returns after a long absence; Returned to a new life. Debut of BAD INFLUENCE at the 96th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo Spring-Summer 2020 - Menswear Collection Changeable contrasts, oppositions and suggestive dichotomies, logical derivations that bring out new concepts: these are the creative themes defining Revenant’s Spring-Summer 2020 collection, entitled “Bad Influence”. The line will be presented for the first time at the 96th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo in the Unconventional Pavilion, where the grittiness of luxury street style will be on display. In the collection, polar opposites encounter and collide, giving way to a new syntax where the classic is set against the contemporary, nature is set against the artificial and tradition against modernity. Bad Influence depicts an influence detached from moral judgement and expresses evident obstacles as well as a plurality of elements told through the ironic messages characterising the DNA of the brand. There is a wider range of graphics: the search for illustrations and evocations of artistic heritage characterise the collection where historic themes are brutally cut and pasted or re-developed with cutting-edge photographic content. A canvas depicting a still life opposed with Marihuana leaves and the artwork Ex-plosion, combining the sacred heart with an atomic mushroom cloud, are the symbols of the “bad influence” inspiring the collection. Poser is the famous Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait, reinterpreted with sunglasses, ready to be photographed, like a real celebrity. Liberty portrays the instantly recognisable Statue of Liberty, which expresses all the emancipation by brandishing a bunch of roses in honour of independence.

"It was like the running of the bulls," says Kathryn Finney, who says she was knocked to the floor in New York's flagship store by someone lunging for a pair of $535 Manolo Blahnik shoes going for $160. Saks's deep, mid-November markdowns were the first tug on a thread that's now unraveling long-established rules of the luxury-goods industry. The changes are bankrupting some firms, toppling longstanding agreements on pricing and distribution, and destroying the very air of exclusivity that designers are trying to sell.
