INNER POSTCARDS. MICHELE CHIOCCIOLINI SPRING - SUMMER 2017

There are places that no script can tell. They are within each of us, and only when we are ready we take them out and send them to each other in the way we prefer, which makes us feel more comfortable. Michele Chiocciolini, along with his sister Francesca, has recalled three of his places of the heart in his handbag collection for next summer.

Postcards that are made accessory and, first of all, witnesses to the lives of the Chiocciolini brothers: Castagno d’Andrea, a small village on the Florentine mountains from which the family originates, Florence, where Michele and Francesca live and work, and Marciana Marina on the Elba Island. Here they create three laboratories, respectively reopen the old haberdashery of the great-grandmother Arduina, an exhibition space in an old throw-carriages and, finally, a bazaar in a former fisherman house.

And so by the Atelier Chiocciolini in Via Del Fico in Florence, arrived in Milan, during the fashion week in September, the new creations of the designer. Lover of aesthetics and interested in the best material and quality of made in Italy, Chiocciolini has thought through the memories and translated in a pop way, indelibly subjects and objects of his past and has conceived them, drawn and then sewn on its leather handbags. Some fish, a dog (cult symbol of the brand, ed), a dome, clouds and a tower are the symbols that emphasize that period.

In Michele Chiocciolini collection it is read a pure feeling, horizontal. Psychological. One wonders if this way, a bit nostalgic, personal and romantic, is not the turning point in response to the growing ego standardization, both inside and out.
