Barbara Bologna's 'Tribù' Show at Milan Fashion Week 2020
At Milan Fashion Week 2020, Barbara Bologna showcased her F/W 2021 line, 'Tribù,' at Teatro dell'Arsenale. Interestingly, guests wore white protective suits, echoing medical settings, as this event occurred just days before the fashion week faced interruptions due to COVID-19 in Lombardy. The collection featured eight unique themes, including DARK ME and MY BRUTALITY, exploring ideas of mutation and hybrid identities. Bologna worked with Ced Pakusevskij and art director Elisabetta Giovi to present 3D projections with post-apocalyptic visuals and the word 'PURIFY.' The show ended with artist Dalila Iardella tattooing Bologna live, leading to a lively celebration where everyone mingled, challenging traditional gender norms. Her previous line asked if we need hell, and this time, she declared it’s here and can be a celebration.
