EXQUISITE GUCCI
I ’ ve always been charmed by cinema . For its power to tell stories that can probe human adventure and its drift . For its visionary power to dig up in the real , making it vertiginously imaginative and questionable .
Such a careful look on the human , after all , is so close to me . I could never imagine clothes as severed from the story and life of the person wearing them . If you ask me , a garment is not , and never will be , just a piece of fabric . It ’ s rather the means through which we are able to unfold who we really decide to be , it ’ s how we shape our desires and the ultimate sense of our staying . That ’ s why I ’ ve always imagined my collections as films able to convey a cinematography of the present : a score of stories , eclectic and dissonant , that can sacralize the human and its metamorphic ability .
The “ Exquisite ” campaign is my tribute to cinema and to one of its brightest maestros , Stanley Kubrick . A philosophic filmmaker who , better than others , emanated the magic of that inextricable knot through which cinema exudes life and magnifies it .
I ’ ve always admired Kubrick ’ s remarkable capacity in tackling very different subjects . His experimental drive goes beyond any possible categorization . Every film , in fact , digests the manifold souls where dystopia meets parody , drama becomes human
