I have always been interested in the relationship between body and clothing. It is in this territory, inhabited by contradictions, where it is difficult to navigate without stumbling, that I wanted to delve into with this book, wandering among the obsessions that govern the relationship between fashion and the body.
Obsessions that are mine, and that are those of everyone, and that while they seem to speak of each person's private life, actually introduce us to fashion as a structurally cultural phenomenon of modernity, as a technique of the body and its transfiguration.
The very fact that fashion has been and still is often dismissed as frivolous, I believe, stems from the actual meaning of dressing, since the choice of one garment over another forces us to confront our body daily in the form of a social object. Maria Luisa Frisa
Saturday at 9:30 AM breakfast. Coffee, tea, all the good things that help to start the day well: biscuits baked with organic flours in a wood-fired oven, yogurt and local cheeses, garden fruit jams, and whatever the awakening and the season inspire (for example, chiffon).
At 12.30 light lunch, greetings, and toasts. In between, chatter, questions, and beautiful ideas. As much as desired.
