FASHION 15
inside a brand new semantic framework , is like hacking La Gioconda . Plus the inspiration and the empathy only possible through the fictional cinematographic machine .
This involvement generates a change of state that is very significant for my job : clothes get closer to bare life again . They turn into highly imaginative functional prosthesis , and they do so to tell a story . A story that shatters , enchants , tortures , ignites . Because it ’ s the story of the human that dwells in each and every one of us . As Stanley Kubrick knew too well . And also Milena Canonero , a very dear friend of mine , who accepted my invitation to go back over some of the scenes that hailed her as undisputed star in the history of costume design . Her presence in this project is moving for me , a very precious gift .
