He produces and publishes three magazines that, though they have small print runs, have a near-religious following: the six-year-old Fanzine 137 – a compendium of everything Venegas cares about, Electric Youth (EY!) Magateen – an oversized cornucopia of adolescent boyflesh started in 2008, and the high- ly lauded Candy – the first truly queer fashion magazine on the planet, which was launched last year. His all-encompassing, erudite view of the fashion universe is the foundation for Venegas’ next big project: the fashion academy he plans to start in 2011. It will be a place where people, as he says, “who are interested in fashion learn about certain key moments from history, film and pop culture.” To get a preview of the curriculum at Professor Venegas’ School of Fashion, Suleman Anaya paid Venegas a visit at his apartment in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña, a wonderful space that overflows with the collected objects of his boundless curiosity.

  • 'Made in Italy' in the Fashion Sector: Challenges and Opportunities in The
    Master’s Degree Programme in Languages, Economics and Institutions of Asia and North Africa – Curriculum Language and Management to China LM-38 “Second Cycle” (D.M.270/2004) Final Thesis ‘Made in Italy’ in the fashion sector: Challenges and opportunities in the Chinese market Supervisor Ch. Prof. Renzo Riccardo Cavalieri Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Lala Hu Graduand Silvia Minini Matriculation Number 843976 Academic Year 2016 / 2017 ABSTRACT China is a big country with a huge market which offers great opportunities. As a result, it is necessary to adopt a local development strategy based on the specific Chinese real life in order to take advantage of its potential. The general view that China means cheap goods is overcome; in fact, in this country also, the quality of goods is imposing on their quantity and this kind of evolution can benefit the “Made in Italy” in a special way. However, the Asian giant is still not among our major industrial partners. Is this a consequence of the structural inability of italian companies or of the well-known chinese integration difficulties? In order to promote the “Made in Italy” in the Chinese market it is essential to first have a clear idea of how chinese consumers perceive foreign brands. Despite finding Pharmaceutical and Machinery production among the most developed and advanced italian sectors, Fashion and Luxury are still the leading ones of ‘Made in Italy’. Through the analisys of some significant case studies of italian fashion and luxury companies working in the chinese market, it is possible to identify future scenarios for the players who will compete in it.
