La copertina del numero e la campagna pubblicitaria in IV di copertina

“NUMERI. Che si moltiplicano. Che – dividendosi – separano. Che aggiungono o tolgono potere. Tutto è composto da numeri: tutto ruota intorno ai numeri”. Questo era l’attacco del mio editoriale di “UOMO” ottobre 2002 che, come tema portante, aveva, appunto, I NUMERI. I titoli dei servizi moda erano date: tra i tanti shooting, quello che ho scelto di ripubblicare oggi per i lettori di The Men Issue, è un servizio dedicato a RAY PETRI: colui che inventò il mestiere dello STYLIST. Le foto sono di Uli Weber. La data-titolo del servizio – 01.1984 – corrisponde all’uscita della prima copertina curata da Petri per THE FACE.

Daring and updating but without excesses. The whole collection is wonderful, from outerwear to knitwear and accessories; the adv campaign is wonderful too, just like even the font of the logo. Guglielmo Capone hit the mark. His first fashion show, that took place in a intimate and embracing location last january, immediately revealed his talent: the total looks have a masculine and refined impact at the same time and can be worn by a wide range of people, thanks to comfortable and elegant cuts. It’s not too fashion and not too classic: it’s flawless. In s/s 2015 collection, Capone does his best in the sporty-chic outerwear: I bet it would be a success, on condition that the company would go on investing on the brand in a proper way, giving to the designer the right instruments. Capone describes his guideline for s/s 2015: “I was thinking about the “Mods”: a great will of change, new energy. Pure modernism with echoes from the London of the late Fifties that meets the sportswear world, in parkas and outerwear. My kind of client? A man able to dare but without excesses, that keeps a perfect balance between tradition and innovation and is able to recognize and appreciate the quality of materials, fabrics, volumes and manufacturing of the italian tailoring tradition”. In the pictures: a garment by Guglielmo Capone (ph. Aldo Fallai for Style Magazine) and a look of s/s 2015 collection.
