Gentucca Bini, a designer who goes against the general trend, creator of sophisticated mimetic installations (Alcantara, Technology of dreams, Milan, Palazzo Reale), never ceases to amaze and delight with presentations dedicated to the choir. Doors open to friends, acquaintances, journalists and onlookers from Lina, old popular trattorie in via Alessi in Milan, for the presentation of her new collection of suits, strict yet playful. Her trusted friends, all dressed in overalls, did the honours, serving michette (Milanese type of bread roll) and mortadella. The band played Italian music, whilst the many children happily danced between the tables.

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.
