Joana Vasconcelos, exuberant and irreverent Portuguese artist, creator of the famous baroque chandelier Novia built with thousands of OB tampons and on show at the Corderie as part of the 2005 Biennale art exhibition, is known for her creative use of fabrics, with which she realizes improbable patchwork and giant sculptures.
She measures herself against the fashion collection by Marina Rinaldi, inventing exuberant decorations and imaginative objects, embroidered with beads and trimmings: a magical world that emerges from her wild vision, made by hand, with patience and skill.

In the ancient halls of the palace Bocconi in Corso Venezia in Milan, on the occasion of the presentation of the 2015 Spring/Summer collection, people have “ridden” her imaginative and sumptuous Valkyries, wonders of invention and virtuous tailoring.

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.
