Personae is not a blog, it’s the 2009/2010 series of pictures taken by artist Albrecht Tübke in Florence. So what better day than the first day of Pitti Immagine Uomo to investigate how one presents his or her individual identity in the mass confusion of urban stereotypes. The individuals show their choice of stance and gaze embody their own multifaceted public persona, which exists to mask or accentuate individual identity.
Erik and I met on LinkedIn although we studied in the same city, Florence; I don’t really have worked out with that social media yet, but the lesson is always the same: surprise hide everywhere, even behind cold business messaging.
And from northern Europe, Sweden, is where this shoe designer comes from to make his collection with the great artisanal help of tuscan refined high quality leather and entirely handcratfted production in the same region very well known for beeing the cradle and birthplace of all the high quality leather products of the biggest heavy weights in the International Fashion industry.
Some days ago I was in Florence, a bit upset about the fact that for the very first time this year I won’t be able to cover the Pitti events, due to previous job committments. My friend Fabrizio made my day by suggesting to go and have a look to UB, a new store which started its activity just last november, and which I had never been to. UB is much more than a shop: really, it’s like being in another dimension, like living in a moodboard.
Thanks to I don’t know whom, this year I took time to see the biggest amount of films I could. The Screen of the Arts is a light shining in Florence. And this year it gave me beautiful experiences, themes and images to think about. Starting from the final edition of Jean-Michel Basquiat. The Radiant Child, a film made by Tamra Davis, with music by her husband Mike D. (Beastie Boys).
