Lessico Familiare Debuts Performance at Milan Fashion Week 2024
At Milan Fashion Week 2024, Lessico Familiare unveiled 'Unica cena,' showcasing designs for the upcoming season. Established in 2020 and inspired by Natalia Ginzburg's book, the brand employs the 'Ginzburg method' to express memories through fashion, utilizing donated fabrics to craft distinctive items. Its aesthetic merges monotony with joy, creating collage-like ensembles that endorse circular fashion. The initiative has reached institutions such as Fondazione Sozzani and ADI Design Museum. The Milan event received backing from Spazio Sunnei, with founders Simone and Loris participating. Alessia Caliendo produced the show, while Tiziano Demuro handled photography and Lisa Carletta created the video, with influences from figures like Lady Diana and Joan Didion, experimenting with proportions and materials.
