Florence’s Baptistery is tickled pink

La Stagione Disobbediente

During Firenze Hometown of Fashion, the programme of events celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Centre of Florence for Italian Fashion, Pitti Immagine presented the installation “Monumental Pucci”, produced with the contribution of the Borough of Florence. The Baptistery in Piazza San Giovanni was draped in a colourful sketch by the Marquis Emilio that covered its facades; eight drapes, for a total of 2000 square meters, have clothed its iconic octagonal shape. The dressage was inspired by a scarf from the “Baptistery” archive, an interpretation of a glimpse of the monument from above, drawn by the Marquis Emilio Pucci in 1957, using the bright shades of Mediterranean landscapes; lemon yellow, orange, fuchsia, and a particular shade of pink, called Emilio pink.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
