"Only recently has fashion photography been accurately seen as an important medium within contemporary visual culture: it has evolved from a mere supporting role of reproduction into a creator of icons and ideas, and a veritable form of art. Its power, in defining itself as a means of communication, is to record, or even determine today's lifestyle. Italian Eyes not only shines a much-deserved light on Italians who have made photographic ..."

"Do uniforms-- objects of fascination to many--unite or distinguish individuals? Do they create reassuring equality or disturbing balkanization? The uniform, starting point for modern dress, combines functional and formal qualities in a situation of mass production and serves to equalize individuals regardless of social status. The aim of this book is to reinterpret, from a contemporary point of view, the uniform as a prototype of male d ..."

"The work produced for Venice though seems almost shamelessly extraneous to
the artist's normal fields of exploration; Mauri here seems to attempt a lightning
recovery of the absolute sense of human life and of its final manifestation and
transformation - death - mysteriously revealed without violence and without
tragedy. This Mauri exhibition at the Nuova Icona, intentionally non- modern, is
slightly scornful - as is typical of thi ..."
"Omnivorous and indefatigable, suggestible but independent, adolescents don't want to be balanced. They love extremes of everything from fashion and art to music and the Internet. Observed and studied by experts of all kinds, their behavior monitored by psychologists, educators, and marketing executives, adolescents represent a decisive and increasingly valuable segment of the buying public. They adore and consume trendy clothes and bran ..."

"La divisa, della quale tanti subiscono il fascino, unifica o distingue gli individui? Rassicura o inquieta? L'uniforme unisce funzionalità e qualità formale in una produzione di serie e consente di rendere uguali gli individui senza distinzioni di classe e di censo. Gli autori rileggono con l'occhio di oggi l'uniforme come prototipo dell'abbigliamento maschile, evidenziando come la perfezione tecnica e formale del vestire militare sia p ..."
""VB 53" provides documentation of Vanessa Beecroft's most recent performance at Pitti Immagine Uomo 66 in Florence's Horticultural Garden. 21 models of varying appearance and race were planted in a mass of earth in the tepidarium. All were nude except for a single accessory: Helmut Lang shoes that wrapped around their ankles, separating their bare legs from the bare, rough earth. According to Beecroft, "The sole is reference to land art ..."
"Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons' clothes are both inspired by and designed for confident male outsiders. His references to youth movements (like punk, goth, and mod) are not meant to be retro; instead Simons tries to translate their energy and determination into modern statements about mental independence. Yet, although they are impeccably cut and created with love and care, clothes are not at the core of Simons' universe. More impo ..."
