The Milan Triennale hosts the exhibition “The new vocabulary of Italian fashion”, dedicated to Elio Fiorucci and curated by Paola Bertola and Vittorio Linfante. It analyzes the language of Italian fashion through the work of its protagonists, starting from 1998, setting the scene with over one hundred companies, between brands and designers, their products and projects. It has been staged by Martino Berghinz and divided into three main sections: Vocabulary, where the products are organized around key concepts in order to represent different approaches; Narratives, which draws a map of the cultural production and communication systems that revolve around fashion (photography, illustration, new media, publishing, video art) and Biographies, which focuses on the work of individual designers and brands in the panorama of recent Italian fashion. What emerges is a brave and uninhibited tale of recent Italian fashion, characterized by virtuous processes, varied palettes of colours, unusual geometric and floral patterns and the special effects of luminescence and iridescence.

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.
