Milan in the middle. Milan, that Milan written and interpreted by Lucio Dalla in 1979: “Milano you change many banks, Milan wide legs, Milan that laughs and has fun…”. 36 years have passed by. From May on, the city is in the public eye, it’s the middle of the world. Thinking about Milan, talking and writing about it: this always moves me. I won’t ever change it with any other. Rather, if I have to change my life, I’ll move to the seaside: a small town, surrounded by nature. But the best city remains Milan. For months it will be full of Chinese, Japanese, American, British, French, German people. Someone will even come from Australia, Korea, Russia. Eyes on. “…Milano what a strain…”. Is it going to be a success? I hope so. The legend has it that Italian men are the most elegant. I don’t agree with it, but let’s try to stoke this legend. And wish it could become the truth. The new skyscrapers of Gae Aulenti Square, in Milan.

An exhibition at Fondazione Stelline in Milano, entitled Timestory, features a colossal environmental installation and other works by the Italian artist Lorenzo Petrantoni, who has done also a special collaboration with Swatch for 5 limited edition watches on sale now.

ABSOLUT CRYSTAL PINSTRIPE

Ogni collaborazione è un successo e ogni reinterpretazione della classica bottiglia di vodka, diventa oggetto da collezione. Il duo Skogsberg & Smart si diverte a dare la propria visione, realizzata con il cristallo, della rinomata vetreria Reijmyre, soffiato e tagliato interamente a mano. Il design si ispira alla tradizione sartoriale dei gessati confezionati su misura di Saville Row e ad averla saranno solo 800 fortunati al mondo.
