publication · 2026-04-26

On Sunday, September 13, TAILOR, the Artribune newsletter dedicated to contemporary fashion, will return, emphasizing changes in the fashion landscape and tailoring practices. The Focus section will showcase Banco Lotto N°10, a workshop located in Venice's Giudecca women's prison, which has fostered independence through tailoring for over two decades. Recently, it inaugurated a new space and hosted its inaugural fashion show within the prison, with pieces available at a pop-up shop during the Venice Film Festival. Additionally, the Ipse Dixit section features perfumer Maria Candida Gentile. This edition also addresses the EU's opposition to ultra-fast fashion, the Fondazione ESI's commitment to workplace inclusivity, and various collaborations and exhibitions. TAILOR is curated by Margherita Cuccia and Giulio Solfrizzi, and subscriptions are complimentary.
