Carnale: An Independent Editorial Project Redefining Eroticism in Italian Publishing
Carnale, an independent editorial initiative by Augusto Arduini and Simone Cossettini, serves as a key player in Italy's eroticism and fashion scene. It partners with brands such as N°21 and Dsquared2 and organizes the exclusive Erotica Party during European fashion weeks. At the Milan Fashion Week Donna 2024, the founders shared their vision to transform eroticism in Italian publishing, emphasizing aesthetics within the limits of social media. Carnale values high-quality photography and approaches erotic themes with dignity. Focusing on live events to connect with younger audiences, the Erotica Party is set to expand to Turin, Rome, and Ibiza, advocating for freedom of expression. Future collaborations include the Polifonic music festival in Milan and Puglia.
