BELLOTTI´S LAST PERFORMANCE AT BALLY
Set against the backdrop of Milan's Torre Velasca, the runway show emphasized the collection's themes by contrasting the city's architectural formality with its expressive designs. Anchored in the German terms "Leistung" and "Aufführung," both translate to "performance" but with distinct nuances; "Leistung" pertains to achievement, while "Aufführung" relates to self-expression. This duality reflects a harmonious blend of Swiss precision and formality with wild, untamed elements, creating a dynamic interplay between structure and fluidity. Simone Bellotti's designs feature sculptural silhouettes juxtaposing tailored precision with textural richness. The collection showcases a variety of materials and textures, embodying the tension between the sober and the wild.
Milko Šparemblek: The Alchemist of Movement
In the vast constellation of dance, some stars burn brightly for a moment, and then there are those whose light continues to glow, shaping the very contours of the art form. Milko Šparemblek belongs to the latter—a luminary whose choreography did not merely entertain but provoked, questioned, and redefined. His was a career sculpted by intellect and instinct, a seamless confluence of tradition and revolution, discipline and abandon.
To speak of Šparemblek is to speak of a man who understood dance as a language of the soul, where every gesture carried the weight of history, the urgency of the present, and the whispers of the future. Born in 1928, in Prevalje, Slovenija, his early years in Croatia provided the foundation for a lifelong dialogue between heritage and reinvention. But it was in Paris, in the avant-garde crucible of post-war Europe, that his artistry was truly forged.
CANNOLO TOTE
Inspired by the soft, round form of the iconic Sicilian cannoli pastry, the bag brings an artistic sensibility to everyday luxury. Its shape is sculptural yet practical, blending fluidity with structure, making it a versatile piece that seamlessly transitions from workday essential to weekend statement. Crafted from the finest materials, the Cannolo Tote features prominent topstitching, and its spacious design is crafted from ultra-smooth leather, giving it both a relaxed and streamlined silhouette. A true investment piece that will accompany you through the years, growing more beautiful with time, as I also wrote on my Instagram profile: "My right arm snug-like friend, actually lover."
