FASHION
In an open dialogue between the external decadence and the personal extroversion of these two seemingly irreconcilable spaces , these usually anonymous faces come and go between their on-set tasks in the palazzo and the ramshackle squat . By doing so , they present a theatrical allegory that reconciles the real and the surreal , reflecting on the relationship between fashion fictional imagery and the reality of its productions .
In the words of Creative Director Alessandro Michele : “ I brought together different things , which represent the messy beauty that I have always sought : the chaos of beauty . What happens to the relation between reality and fiction when prying eyes sneak into the mechanisms of the production of an image ? What happens to fashion , when the true goes back to being just a moment of the false ? Breaking the spell that forces my collaborators to passionately work on clothes they later have to abandon , I asked the team to wear them .
