Grand Tour, which saw members of high society

exploring Europe to soak up the cultural sights

and sounds, the spring/summer collection

from Valentino references the icons of Italy.

The intricate forms of the country’s historic

architecture are refected in bold forals, while

draped gowns are reminiscent of Roman dress.

Coastal Italy fnds expression in motifs of

starfsh, shells, ships and underwater creatures,

with a seaside theme working comfortably on

formal attire and casualwear. The design team

at Valentino has mastered modern femininity,

and the skill behind this collection lies in the

freshness it creates out of such traditional

inspirations. No summer wardrobe is complete

without a dress by Valentino. hl

Milan often attracts attention thanks to its status as an international fashion centre and as Italy’s commercial heart, and for six months from 1 May the world’s gaze will be very frmly fxed on the city as it hosts Expo Milano 2015, a series of varied events and shows.

The exhibition site stretches for three kilometres and 144 countries will take part; 20 million visitors are expected to visit the city, many travelling on Expo-themed aeroplanes. With these kinds of numbers involved, it is unsurprising that Expo Milan 2015 will dominate daily life in Milan throughout the spring and summer.

great opportunity. It’s a way to raise awareness

for Italy, Milan, our beautiful landscapes,’

says former Olympic kayaker Antonio Rossi.

ceremony in Milan, to coincide with the climax

of Expo. ‘We’re thrilled to bring the 2015 MTV

MODERN

MASTERSItaly’s designers are turning to traditional

artisan techniques to impress today’s clients,Harriet Quick discovers

‘I started making sandals for myself, taking remnants of crocodile skins to small sandal makers in Positano. I also used crocodile tails, which can’t be easily made into bags, for belts. One summer, the Mr Porter team came to dinner at our home in Florence and asked me to produce the belts and sandals for them, so the line was born,’ says designer Álvaro González.

He, along with other designers living and working in Italy, is creating niche collections and bringing on board skilled artisans, small businesses and traditional ateliers. Marco de Vincenzo is a womenswear designer who skillfully combines traditional approaches

and modern technology to create sensational, deeply tactile clothes. Meanwhile, Carlotta Danti is a lingerie specialist. Milan-born Danti cut her teeth at Vivienne Westwood in London before returning to her home city to launch her lingerie and boudoir wear under the label Rosamosario. All three designers display impeccable taste and share a passion for the unique and for craftsmanship.

Behind these labels lies a wealth of experience. González is an accessories pioneer who, for the past 20 years, has been designing for labels including Jimmy Choo and Loro Piana; as well as running his own label, he is now also the creative director of luxury label

DREAM WEAVERS

For those in the know, one country excels when it comes to making fabric. Italian textile production, mainly focused in the north of the country and along the Amalf coast, stretches back hundreds of years. Age-old skills and commitment to perfection have been maintained, which is why Italian textiles have become synonymous with unrivalled quality.

For example, the linen bed sheets, towels and table coverings that grace some of the world’s fnest hotels and smartest private residences are crafted by a handful of highly regarded, and sometimes secretive, Italian companies.

Frette is one of the best examples of traditional Italian linen production. Founded in 1860, the company was originally based in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps. After moving to Monza, an industrial town near Milan, the company was exposed to the exacting standards of Italian linen production

Italy’s reputation for producing the world’s fnest textiles is well deserved. Ruairidh Pritchard picks out some of the leading names

and by the start of the 20th century it was producing some of the fnest linens available.

Still based in Monza, Frette has maintained its reputation, which is largely attributed to its patented and rather secretive method of textile bleaching which, according to the company, results in the white, soft and shiny fnish of its linens. Guests at the Ritz in Paris, Claridge’s in London and the Plaza in New York sleep between Frette sheets, while diners on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express will be seated in front of the company’s table linen. Frette also supplies royal families across the globe.

Frette’s exquisite linens, as well as its range of sleepwear and interiors fabrics, can also be bought in its boutiques. This season the collection is inspired by countries and islands such as South Africa, Argentina and Bali, resulting in the use of elaborate motifs, crochet and lace in a vibrant mix of watercolour shades.

A similar trajectory has taken place at Sferra. The company was founded in 1891

of the fnal piece of cloth. Sferra continues to be held in high esteem and its linens have been chosen for numerous important residences and buildings, including the White House and the Vatican.

Linen isn’t the only highly coveted material being produced in Italy, as acclaimed label Loro Piana can attest. For decades the brand has been manufacturing some of the world’s most sought-after fabrics and creating collections of knitwear, shirts and jackets with sumptuous linings that have become wardrobe essentials for well-dressed people around the globe.

Loro Piana also produces a range of sumptuous interiors fabrics: its cashmere is available in more than 30 shades and can be combined with coloured suede to create

by Gennaro Sferra, one of Venice’s most talented lace craftsmen, and its linens became popular in the early 20th century among American industrialists with discerning tastes. This success in the US led to Sferra setting up a shop on New York’s Fifth Avenue, but Gennaro Sferra always ensured he returned to Venice twice a year by steamer to create new collections of handmade lace and luxury linens.

Sferra has updated its production methods, investing in state-of-the-art technology to spin, dye and fnish each yarn to precise specifcations and stringent standards. Even so, the four key elements prioritised by Gennaro Sferra 120 years ago remain central: the fbres used, the weight of the fabric, the fnish and, perhaps most importantly, the luxurious feel

TABLE TALKWhether classic alla Milanese or

a version featuring unconventional

favour combinations, risotto

is still Milan’s main dish.

Isabella Redmond Styles tastes

a selection from around the city

Risotto is a Milanese favourite for good

reason. The dish is said to have originated in

the city, the result of the region’s tradition of

slow cooking and infuences from Spanish

cuisine. It’s a staple in many restaurants due

to its versatility and popularity with customers.

The most typical incarnation is risotto alla

Milanese, a simple yet sublime dish which uses

safron for its distinctive yellow hue and subtle

favour. This is generally served alongside

osso buco – slow-cooked veal – another of the

region’s renowned dishes. Risotto also works

well with seasonal ingredients: come spring,

risotto primavera, made with fresh green

vegetables, is the order of the day, while in the

summer look out for strawberry risotto (risotto

alla fragole), an intriguing mix of sweet and

savoury favours. Autumnal root vegetables

are also classic risotto ingredients and, as a

result, pumpkin and mushroom are favourite

favours once the weather cools.

SABBADINI

Sabbadini’s exquisite jewellery has been

turning heads since the boutique was

opened by Bruno Sabbadini in 1940. Since

then, Bruno’s son Alberto and grandson

Pierandrea have joined the business, opening

a showroom in New York as well as the

elegant Via Montenapoleone fagship store in

Milan. The playful yet classic bee brooch is

Sabbadini’s best-known piece, and is covered

in a choice of precious and semi-precious

stones with diamonds; it is also available as a

bracelet or necklace.

VILLA NECCHI CAMPIGLIO

In the heat of the summer, Villa Necchi

Campiglio is the perfect place to visit. Built

in the 1930s by Milanese architect Piero

Portaluppi, the villa has a very inviting

swimming pool in addition to a tennis court

and beautiful grounds. Inside, visitors can

fnd an interesting selection of artefacts,

including 18th-century paintings and

decorative items, and artist Claudia Gian

Ferrari’s collection of early 20th-century art.

Villa Necchi Campiglio,

Via Mozart 14, 20122 Milan,

+39 02 7634 0121, casemuseomilano.it

* for map go to page 116

ATOS LOMBARDINI

Given its Italian heritage, it’s appropriate

that Atos Lombardini’s spring/summer

2015 collection has been inspired by the

Mediterranean sea. This translates into chic

monochrome separates including jackets,

shorts and loose-ftting trousers as well as

clever embellishment in the form of crystals

and tassels. Metallic accents and geometric

prints, in keeping with vintage Moroccan

carpets, give the pieces a pleasant 1970s feel.

Corso Giacomo Matteotti 3, 20121 Milan,

+39 02 7602 4081, atoslombardini.com

* for map go to page 113

MARCO BICEGO

A recent addition to the exclusive boutiques

on Via della Spiga, Marco Bicego’s fagship

store fts in perfectly. The Italian jewellery

designer is inspired by his Venetian roots,

and each piece of Bicego’s jewellery combines

artisan heritage with contemporary

style. This boutique showcases the Goa,

Marrakesh, Jaipur, Paradise, Seville and

Africa collections, which are all designed in

18-carat yellow gold. Also available alongside

these is the nature-inspired Lunaria range,

which features delicate, hand-engraved leaf-

shaped pieces of irregular sizes.

LES COPAINS

Les Copains is known for its chic and

contemporary approach to womenswear, an

attitude that’s perfectly in keeping with the

location of the brand’s new Italian fagship

store. At the Via della Spiga boutique, clients

can browse the label’s latest womenswear

and accessories collection. The store follows

a similar design concept to the brand’s Rome

shop: hanging racks feature Vienna straw

while the cream stone fooring and white

wood alcoves provide a setting that feels

warm and welcoming yet current.

62: Taste Of Success

Вкус Успеха

Основными темами всемирной выставки Expo Milano 2015 станет культурная жизнь Милана и первоклассная итальянская еда, – рассказывает Верити Хоган

Пользуясь почетным статусом мировой столицы моды и финансового центра Италии, Милан манит к себе туристов с самых разных уголков планеты. На протяжении полугода начиная с 1 мая, здесь пройдет знаменитая всемирная выставка Expo Milano 2015, а также ряд увлекательных мероприятий и шоу-показов.

Территория выставочного комплекса протянулась на три километра в длину – именно такое пространство потребуется, чтобы вместить участников из 144 стран мира, а также 20 миллионов посетителей, которые прибудут в Милан на самолетах, интерьер которых стилизован под Expo Milano. Учитывая такие нескромные цифры, нет сомнения в том, что выставка будет главным событием для города, по крайней мере, этой весной и летом.

Амбассадорами мероприятия были выбраны деятели самых разных сфер: писатели, атлеты, актеры, архитекторы, повара и музыканты. Модельер Пол Смит, которому также выпала честь представлять выставку на международном уровне, называет это событие «волнующим,

143

инновационным и творческим». Expo Milan 2015 будет прекрасным шансом для города заявить о себе на весь мир. «Эта выставка представляет собой великолепную возможность. Это способ ближе познакомить людей с Миланом, Италией и ее захватывающими пейзажами», – говорит бывший олимпийский гребец Антонио Росси.

Одновременно с выставкой Expo в Милане пройдет ежегодная церемония вручения музыкальных наград Europe Music Awards, основанная телеканалом MTV. «Мы бесконечно рады провести церемонию этого года в Милане, – говорит исполнительный продюсер Брюс Гиллмер. – Это потрясающий город, где пересекаются сферы искусства, моды и музыки».

Компания Global Blue также примет участие в мероприятии. Офис Global Blue, расположившийся в центре Милана, откроет свои двери для посетителей в начале апреля. Здесь туристам будет предоставлен ряд полезных услуг, включая консультацию у экспертов по шоппингу и возможность получить возврат НДС с покупок.

Первая всемирная выставка Expo состоялась в Лондоне в 1851 году и с тех пор ее приняли у себя многие города Европы. Каждая Expo обычно посвящена какой-то определенной тематике и на этот

раз выбор пал на изысканную кухню, в которой Италии сложно найти равных. Открытие выставки будет сопровождать тематическое представление цирка Cirque du Soleil, а знакомить гостей с особенностями национальной кухни будут открывшиеся недавно рестораны, такие как Larte (совместно со спонсором мероприятия Altagamma).

Итальянская продуктовая сеть Eataly обещает порадовать посетителей своих магазинов в Италии и США лучшими образцами национальной гастрономии, начиная от изысканных марок вин и оливкового масла высшего сорта и заканчивая кондитерскими изделиями. Гости также смогут убедиться в том, насколько большое значение для итальянской кухни имеет качество продуктов. Если вы будете в США в первой половине 2015, то сможете застать в Eataly выставку знаменитых статуй, бельведеров и горгулий, привезенных из Миланского собора. Эти экспонаты будут показаны в Нью-Йорке впервые в рамках мероприятия ‘Eataly per Duomo’, которое продлится вплоть до официального открытия Expo в мае.

Учитывая выбранную тематику, выставка Expo 2015 нашла себе идеального партнера в лице Милана. «Живя в Америке, я все больше понимаю, насколько итальянская кулинария превзошла все остальные», говорит баскетболист Данило Галлинари, итальянец по происхождению. Его мысли разделяет известный шеф-повар Давид Олдани: «Главная тематика Expo – здоровая еда. А по-настоящему великолепные и полезные блюда могут быть созданы лишь с использованием качественных продуктов».

А пока Милан вовсю готовится к встрече гостей, которые съедутся со всего мира, чтобы приобщиться достославной кухни из качественных продуктов и, конечно же, посетить знаменитые достопримечательности. Для города это событие станет звездным часом, и такой момент лучше не упускать. expo2015.org

говорит дизайнер Альваро Гонзалез. Он, как и другие живущие и работающие

в Италии модельеры, выпускает нишевые коллекции с помощью группы талантливых мастеров, небольших бизнесов и традиционных ателье. Marco de Vincenzo – дизайнер женской одежды, который ловко объединяет традиционный подход с современными технологиями для создания вещей. Carlotta Danti – специалист по нижнему белью. Родом из Милана Данти стажировалась в Vivienne Westwood в Лондоне, после чего вернулась в родной город, чтобы запустить бренд нижнего белья под названием Rosamosario. Все три дизайнера обладают безупречным вкусом и разделяют страсть к уникальности и

Современные Мастера

Итальянские дизайнеры обращаются к традиционным ремесленным приемам для того, чтобы завоевать сегодняшнего покупателя, выяснила Хариет Квик

«Я начал делать сандалии для себя, относя остатки крокодиловой кожи в небольшое обувное ателье в Позитано. Я также использовал крокодиловые хвосты, из которых сложно делать сумки, для создания ремней. Как-то летом команда Mr. Porter ужинала у нас дома во Флоренции, они попросили меня сделать для них ремни и сандалии, так и родилась моя линия», -

искусной работе. За этими именами стоит огромный

опыт. Гонзалез является гением аксессуаров, ведь уже 20 лет он работает с такими компаниями, как Jimmy Choo и Loro Piana. Более того, помимо руководства собственным брендом, он сейчас также является креативным директором премиальной марки Valextra. «Я использую ярко окрашенную телячью кожу и шкуры аллигаторов и скатов, доставляемые со специализированных кожевенных фабрик. Затем в мастерских во Флоренции из этих материалов создаются сандалии, ремни и другие кожные изделия и сумки», - говорит он. Мужские и женские сандалии от Gonzalez элегантны, что получается благодаря необработанной коже и окраске вручную. «Это придает им блеска и немного грубоватый, не слишком вычурный вид», -

добавляет он. Его коллекции можно найти в роскошных бутиках по всему миру, включая Lane Crawford и Antonia в Милане.

Де Винченцо родился в Мессине, а сейчас работает в студии в Риме, и уже имеет группу поклонников, в которые входят Джованна Баталья и модный редактор Анна Делло Руссо. Почти 11 лет он работал бок о бок с Сильвией Вентурини, креативным директором по аксессуарам Fendi. Его любовь к экспериментам и визуальному эффекту тромплей (обман зрения) прослеживается в его собственной линии, которую он запустил в 2009.

«Мои коллекции всегда начинаются с материалов и любви к 3D иллюзиям», - говорит Винченцо. Он славится своей способностью преобразовывать шерсть, шелк и твид с помощью волн цвета, сложного кроя и экспериментов с принтами. В ряд самых ярких вещей из его весенне-летней коллекции 2015 вошли костюмы из юбки-карандаша и пиджака, выполненные из лоскутов бахромчатого шелка, который двигался и качался, и пальто в клетку из твида, которое было вручную украшено бахромой и бисером. Его инновационный подход недавно привлек инвестиции гиганта роскошной продукции LVMH.

Игровой площадкой для Карлотты Данти является будуар, а ее идолами – звезды времен зенита итальянского кинематографа. В ее коллекциях представлены пижамы с сахарно-розовым кружевом и идеально скроенные корсетные изделия, включая длинные шелковые пеньюары с тонким кружевом и халаты из органзы с цветочным принтом. Ее работа обеспечила дизайнеру несколько специальных заказов от таких клиентов, как Бейонсе, Рианна и члены королевской семьи Саудовской Аравии, а в число работающих с ней ритейлеров входит Net-a-porter. «Время, посвященное себе и вещам, которые мы любим, заставляет нас чувствовать себя особенными», - объясняет Данти. Именно особенными и являются эти новые дизайнеры.alvarogonzalez.co, marcodevincenzo.com, rosamosario.com

80: Dream Weavers

Ткачи Мечты

Итальянский текстиль считается одним из самых лучших в мире – и неспроста. Руайрид Притчард рассказывает о ведущих брендах

Когда дело касается производства ткани, только одну страну можно по праву считать лидером в этой области. История итальянской текстильной промышленности, сосредоточенной в основном на севере страны и вдоль побережья Амальфи, насчитывает не одну сотню лет. Итальянцы бережно хранят свои вековые традиции и не перестают стремиться к совершенству, именно поэтому итальянский текстиль остается синонимом непревзойденного качества.

Например, постельное белье, полотенца

и скатерти, украшающие ряд лучших мировых отелей и частных особняков, зачастую создаются небольшой группой уважаемых итальянских компаний.

Frette – один из лучших образцов традиционного итальянского постельного белья. Компания была основана в 1860 году в Гренобле, у подножия французских Альп. После переезда в Монцу, промышленный город недалеко от Милана, в компанию были внедрены новые высокие стандарты производства и, начиная с ХХ века, Frette стала производить одни из лучших постельных принадлежностей в мире.

Компания Frette по сей день расположена в Монце и нисколько не утратила своей славы. Фирменный метод отбеливания тканей, запатентованный во многих странах, позволяет придать белью неповторимую белизну, мягкость и блеск. Простыни Frette можно встретить

в номерах отеля Ritz в Париже, Claridge в Лондоне и Plaza в Нью-Йорке, а фирменные скатерти украшают столики Восточного экспресса, курсирующего между Парижем и Стамбулом. Frette также поставляет свою продукцию в королевские дома по всему миру.

Изысканное белье Frette, а так же коллекции пижам и тканей для отделки интерьера можно приобрести в бутиках бренда. На создание коллекции этого сезона Frette вдохновили различные страны и острова, такие как Южная Африка, Аргентина и Бали. В результате в основу коллекции были положены сложные мотивы, кроше и кружева в сочетании с яркими оттенками акварели.

Похожая ситуация сложилась и в компании Sferra. Основал фирму в 1891 году Дженнаро Сферра – один из

самых талантливых мастеров кружева в Венеции. Белье его производства завоевало популярность среди взыскательных американских промышленников начала ХХ века. Молниеносный успех в США позволил Sferra открыть бутик на Пятой авеню в Нью-Йорке, но при этом Дженнаро Сферра не переставал посещать Венецию дважды в год, где он создавал новые коллекции кружева ручной работы и роскошное постельное белье.

Sferra регулярно совершенствует свои методы производства, инвестируя в современные технологии окраски и отделки пряжи, при этом ни на йоту не нарушая высокие стандарты качества. Четыре элемента, определенные Дженнаро Сферра еще 120 лет назад как ключевые, до сих пор не поменялись. Речь идет о типе волокна, весе ткани, отделке, и, пожалуй, самом главном, ощущение роскоши, возникающем от прикосновения к готовому изделию. Продукция Sferra высоко ценится во всем мире, а постельное белье бренда украшает интерьер множества элитных особняков, включая Белый дом и Ватикан.

Белье – не единственная гордость итальянского швейного производства и знаменитая марка Loro Piana тому подтверждение. В течение многих десятилетий бренд создает по праву роскошные ткани, а также выпускает серию трикотажа, рубашек и курток с великолепными подкладками, давно уже ставших неотъемлемой частью гардероба модников по всему миру.

Loro Piana также производит широкий ассортимент шикарных тканей для отделки интерьера. При создании одеял, подушек и покрывал в ход идет кашемировая ткань 30 различных оттенков, иногда в сочетании с цветной замшей. Многие клиенты предпочитают дополнять готовую продукцию индивидуальными монограммами и вышивками, которые отлично смотрятся в интерьере их самолетов или вертолетов, в то время как другие просят, чтобы на обивочную ткань был нанесен морской алфавит и название их яхты.

globalblue.com

152

Постоянный спрос на роскошные итальянские ткани почти наверняка связан с их первоклассным качеством и тем фактом, что проницательные клиенты привыкли доверять итальянскому текстилю с его богатой историей, современной технологией производства и непревзойденной отделкой.frette.com, sferra.com, loropiana.com

中；届时预计会有2000万游客造访这座城市，他们中的部分将乘坐世博主题的专机。基于这些数字，

说2015年米兰世博会将在春夏季节主导米兰人的日常生活也毫不为过。

世博会大使们已从各个领域集结，包括作家、运

动员、演员、建筑师、厨师和音乐家等。时装设计师

与世博会形象大使Paul Smith将世博会形容为“令人兴奋、突破陈规、富有创造力的”。这项盛事将是

在国际舞台上展示米兰独特魅力的绝佳机会。“世博

会是一个绝好的机会。将帮助我们提升意大利和米

兰美丽风光的知名度。”前奥运皮划艇选手AntonioRossi表示。

MTV明年将在米兰举办EMA年度颁奖礼，这与世博会的高潮时刻重合。“我们很高兴能在2015年将MTV EMA奖项带到米兰，”这项活动的执行制片人Bruce Gillmer表示。“这是一座标志性的城市，艺术、时尚和音乐在此碰撞。”

环球蓝联也将积极投身于这项盛事中。首家环

球蓝联休息廊，将从四月初开始在米兰市中心迎接

各方来宾。届时休息廊将提供一系列服务——包括

来自专业购物顾问的导购建议——以及各项退税

服务。

自从第一届世博会于1851年在英国伦敦举行起，这项活动已造访过诸多不同的城市。每次世博

会都侧重于一个不同的主题，而对于自诩为拥有世

界最佳料理国度之一的意大利，今年的世博会以美

食为中心是恰如其分的。太阳马戏团已以世博会的

主题创作了一套新节目，同时新近开幕的餐厅，如

Larte（与世博会赞助商Altagamma合作）亦被设计为展示意大利烹饪与文化的场所。

意大利美食业巨头Eataly将在意大利各地与美国的门店中，展示一系列该国最优质的产品——从

高级葡萄酒、特纯初榨橄榄油到甜品糖果。该公司

还将揭示高品质产品对于意大利烹饪的重要性。如

果您在2015年上半年造访美国，将会见到Eataly从米兰大教堂临时迁移到美国的一批重要历史雕塑、

尖塔与石兽。这批在“Eataly per Duomo”活动中登场的展品，是首次与纽约观众们见面，他们会展出

到五月份世博会开幕。

以食物为主题的2015年世博会，在米兰找到了完美的合作搭档。“生活在美国，让我越来越意识

到意大利在食品领域的领导性地位，”出生于意大利

的篮球运动员Danilo Gallinari表示。名厨DavideOldani对此感同身受：“世博会最重要的主题是健康饮食。只有使用高品质的产品才能烹调出伟大的

菜肴，特别是健康的菜肴。”

这座城市届时将向国际观众们展示其久负盛名

意大利设计师们巧妙转化传统工艺，让今日的顾客

为之倾倒。Harriet Quick报道

“我从给自己做凉鞋起步，把鳄鱼皮的边角料拿给

波西塔诺（Positano）的小型凉鞋制造商。我还使用那些没法轻易做成包袋的鳄鱼尾巴来制作腰带。某

个夏天，Mr Porter的团队来我们佛罗伦萨的家中共进晚餐，并要求我们为他们制作皮带与凉鞋，这个系

列由此诞生，”设计师Álvaro González告诉我们。与其他在意大利生活工作的设计师一样，他专

注于小众市场，并邀请技艺纯熟的工匠、小生意人

与传统作坊加入生产过程。女装设计师Marco deVincenzo将传统手法与现代科技相融合，创造出触动人心的感性服饰。Carlotta Danti则是一位内衣专家。出生于米兰的Danti在伦敦的VivienneWestwood小试牛刀，其后回到家乡推出了自己的内衣和闺房服饰品牌Rosamosario。以上三名设计师均展示出无可挑剔的品味，以及对与众不同手工艺

的热情。
