I love my desk:  This week I really enjoyed staying in Milano and working from my desk.  Not only the catching up parts, but the work that makes me really happy.  Embracing this surprising quote of Einstein, “ imagination is more important than knowledge.” This seems so amazing for a man of science to think. He then explains, “For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand”. Working from my desk this week, I could travel in my mind through different times, to different places; find new dreams and make new discoveries, it was a week to imagine.

Sunshine is back  for a beautiful Sunday afternoon on the Terrace of 10 Corso Como

The opening of the World Press Photo on Saturday has been a big success,

followed on Sunday by over one thousand visitors.

Whether it is a building, a piece of jewelry or food on a plate, pure

form has an unmistakable attraction, at least to me. A strong voice and

the focus of the artist, whatever the field, will express the idea in

architecture, design, fashion or music. At the end, it is all about the

shapes and forms and the hand and eye that will bring through their

designs, real beauty. I was wearing these cuffs at a concert in Paris

and everyone has asked to hold and touch them. Today they sit as

sculpture on the desk – to wear or not.

Natasha Slater cordially invites you to tapas under the stars.

Shiro Kuramata’s suspension of red roses in his “Miss Blanche” plexiglass
chair is legendary of course, and the brilliant abstraction of this
plexiglass cube also by Kuramata has been sitting right here on my desk
for years. I don’t need fresh flowers with the unfolding petals of this
rose held in such suspense, both genius achievements creating new forms
in design. This week I have been seeing roses everywhere as the Galleria
opens an exhibition inspired by the rose. Kuramata’s roses; a Douanier
Rousseau painting translated to a French birthday card, or the one single
rose that has just made its way to sunlight in all of the green in the
garden. I thought I didn’t care about the roses but on the walls, or in
my life, the rose inspires.

 This week here in Milano was the annual Salone del Mobile. It somehow
seems the most international and interesting week of the year. Buzzing
with so many interesting and knowledgeable people anxious to find new
things, rediscover the old things, enjoy the odd things and appreciate
the many possibilities we Milanese can experience all year long. They
make me realize that we who live here should do more to enhance and
contribute to our city.  To promote and protect more our treasures for
our own enjoyment and to share with the world.

Here in the picture on my desk today a beautiful Lucio Fontana

ceramics book and a new ceramic by Kris Ruhs.

It is 42 years since the first Earth Day.

Founded in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson to create

awareness for the Earth and its environment,

it is now celebrated in 174 countries all around the world

with more than one billion people

making personal committments to sustainability.

 Today, like most days now, more and more of what I read is from
the computer screen, even when I could be perhaps more quiet and with my
books. Here, just in front of my desk is a present from Silvia,
the Leporello unfolding book by Warja Lavater, a Swiss artist.
She was known for creating classic fairy tales as accordian art books
using images instead of words. Here the story of Don Giovanni’s amorous
conquests (all the kisses!) as they are noted down (and seen by the eye!)
of his faithful servant Leporello in Mozart’s opera. No website will
ever give the emotional feeling that paper – the touch, the smell, the
weight and the color that books can as they involve so much of the
senses. And color is such an important part of our emotions, so many
theories on the compositions of colors. Even today we do not know what
makes color, whether dark or light or psychedelic, only its beauty.

   In the end, while it is always wonderful to see the world, I am back in Milano for one of the best moments of the year. The weather is wonderful, for now, and the furniture fair arrives next week bringing artists, designers and architects from the best studios around the world to share with us what they have been thinking and working on this year. The Galleries will all be open to the public and professionals and visitors will flow over Milano in patterns seen reflected in the designs.  An endless harmonic flood of people, ideas and beautiful objects to admire and dream to take home. It is a very good time to be home and to have my library to remind me of the endless rhythms of nature and design all great artists use.

Since the opening in March 2008 10 Corso Como flagship store in Seoul,

Housed on three floors in a modern building in Cheongdam-dong, a district south
of the Han River, 10 Corso Como has become a massive hit for both
the city’s residents and visitors.

It is the Spring Equinox this week – a time of growth and Summer. And the changes and evolution of 10 Corso Como in Asia are truly a part of this season. With all the time zones we have flown through this week, the days and nights might be

equal but we are never sure which is which. 10 Corso Como has a new home in Tokyo

with Comme des Garçons in the DSMG store in Ginza. We left a great party there to fly to Seoul where it will soon be the fourth anniversary

of 10 Corso Como in downtown Cheongdam. And we begin to work on the opening parties to Avenue L, another home for 10 Corso Como and Comme des Garçons in the historic district of Seoul.

 Sunday at my desk has been just that ­- only this one day, today – ­to sit and to reflect on the week just past and the Paris fashion shows and where they take us. All the creativity of different cultures and echoes of different times both on the runways and influences felt from off the runways met in Paris to show the fashion markets of the world where the vision will next go. The world of fashion and design is clearly influenced by cultural and social attitudes. It varies over time and place…

Fashion shows  in Paris this week and many new ideas to think about.  Today  on the wall across from my desk I am looking at this beautiful drawing by illustrator Mats Gustafson. It seems that real creativity really comes from

this – the naked body – no references outside of this one element.  Just a body on which to sculpt.Then a shape is created, and so the image grows from there.

Leading to so many different interpretations.

On Friday 24th February at 10 Corso Como

the “Cinderthriller” party by Alberto Guardiani & i-D

founder and Editor-in-Chief Terry Jones

 Situated outside the front entrance of 10 Corso Como, another in a series of installations by the American artist Kris Ruhs.

This image reflects Ruhs continuing exploration of totemic shapes and invites the viewer to explore the unconscious symbolism of tribe and community through the seven totems of chalk and painted resin.

Encased in a circular grid, the ability to reach the purity of this totem is tempered.

As we are forced to step back to see the nature of theses objects, we must distance ourselves from them.

This creates the screen, here seen as the grid, that subtly separates us from the world of our senses and our neighbors.

It is collection week in Milano so lots of fashion to see, and this week

The Met Museum in NYC, who has had so many shows these years of great designers as well as great art has just announced the exhibition of two great italian women designers, both linked to art: Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada.

 Fashion and art is a centuries old love affair, from the Romans at Pompeii to ancient greek vases; Gold of Byzantines and robes of Orientals.  To Poiret…the influence has flowed both ways – art to fashion – fashion to art.

Real artists don’t see the difference between creating an original work of art such as a painting and designing a textile pattern, each is seen as a valid creative act.

A comprehensive guide to the protagonists of fashion

in the 21st Century’s first decade.

A book collecting 250 pictures of the fashion scene personalities

taken by the New York-based German photographer Anna Bauer


after the shows in Paris, Milan, London and New York.
