While Fashion Week goes on here, Bruce Weber will present tonight his
new short-film for Moncler, ‘don’t steal the jacket’.
A mix of musical, thriller and dreams with a special soundtrack
by the American band Radical Something, it is sure to fascinate.
At 10 corso Como we met one of the craftsmen
who came from Florence to show our visitors and customers today
how the legendary Salvatore Ferragamo crafts his unique handmade creations.
10 CorsoComo is hosting a gallery dedicated
to Ferragamo all this month of October.
And I have just come to my desk after Sunday lunch with my mother,
an iron lady 99 years old, a wonderful and spirited woman,
a living treasure.
I wish you could see all the great new talent spotted by Italian Vogue’s
Sara Maino for the annual New Talent show hosted
by Anna Wintour and Franca Sozzani at the Palazzo Morando
here in Milano until tomorrow, September 26th.
This is a new generation of talented designers not to be missed.
On Wednesday evening the Giorgio Marconi Foundation opened
four floors in its historic building on via Tadino 15
with Mr. Marconi¹s personal collection of monumental works that
he has collected for over 50 years.
“I have been collecting out-sized works always
with the idea of hosting a museum”.
This is a real gift to the city of Milano and is wonderful to see.
Giant works by artists from the 1960′s to the 1980′s
Giulio Paolini, Mimmo Rotella, Louise Nevelson, Lucio Fontana, Lucio Del Pezzo,
Joe Tilson, Enrico Castellani, Mario Schifano
and others grace this amazing space.
My first thought of this week is really my best wishes to my sister.
On Monday, September 19th in New York, Franca Sozzani was named
the Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations by Fashion 4 Development.
She has worked very hard and I know will bring great excitement
and enthusiasm to the ideas of supporting local design
and manufacture in developing countries.
Franca’s speech is passionate and worth reading at her blog for 9/20 at Vogue.it.

SUNDAY FROM MY DESK
Starting this Sunday, every Sunday , Carla Sozzani shares…
Returning to my desk this afternoon to sort through the fresh pile of urgencies
I see that the flowers from
last week’s great parties celebrating 10 Corso Como are fading and
taking on the colors of the fall season.
As I sit here thinking on this Sunday afternoon of the many wonderful
things that have happened for me and 10 Corso Como, I have decided to
share with you this pause in my week, my Sunday afternoon.
When I started 10 Corso Como in 1991 I wanted a direct contact with
visitors and customers to share my thoughts with them on art,
photography, fashion and design in this single space, 10 Corso Como.
Now, I have another single space – this page – to share with you.
To reflect on the best of the week that has just passed and to look to the
people and events I and 10 Corso Como will be thinking about as our
future moves forward.
See you next Sunday.

Lumen by Carlo Valsecchi
Carlo Valsecchi large-format photographs alternate
between precise figuration and poetic abstraction.
Although much of Carlo Valsecchi work is
within the strong tradition of the industrial landscape
developed by the German school,
the photographer has found his own expressive register.
His approach is characterized by meticulousness of composition and framing,
systematic use of natural light, large format images evocative of paintings
and a subtle handling of color often restricted to pastel tones
or tending toward the monochromatic.
Opening Wednesday 7th September 2011
from 5.00 pm to 9.00 pm
On show from 8th September to 13th November 2011
