Artribune's Focus Moda Returns in Print with Fifth Issue on Preserving Beauty

publication · 2026-04-26

Artribune's fashion section, Focus Moda, returns in a print edition, presented by the Tailor newsletter. The fifth issue, themed 'Preserving Beauty,' explores the tension between conservation and transformation in contemporary beauty. Curated by Alessia Caliendo with contributions from Margherita Cuccia, Lara Gastaldi, Aurora Mandelli, Alessandro Masetti, Vova Motrychuk, and fashion editor Giulio Solfrizzi, the semiannual English-language magazine includes QR codes linking to Italian versions. The issue features artists like Arvida Byström, Ines Alpha, and Harriet Davey, who rethink beauty in the age of digital doubles, eco-anxiety, Olympics, and AI. Tailor, Artribune's newsletter active since January 2025, publishes two exclusive previews: 'Eco-styling' by Margherita Cuccia, highlighting sustainable styling practices and examples like Look @ The Label by Jennifer von Walderdorff, stylist Sophie Strauss, and The Seam by Layla Sargent; and a piece by Alessia Caliendo on Filippo Sorcinelli's creative lab in Mondolfo, Italy, blending art and perfume, with a planned school-workshop between Mondolfo and Santarcangelo, documented by photographer Davide Sartori (Premio Luigi Ghirri 2025). Giancarlo Giammetti is quoted supporting the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti. The print edition aims to provide time and perspective in a hyper-digital ecosystem.
