Phewwww.... considering the massive expansion of the fuorisalone this year, I think ‘covering it’ is an accomplishment that needs to be listed in one’s Cv! What started with Zona Tortona being the main district years ago, has now spread to other ‘official’ districts such as the Brera design district, Pt. Romana, Ventura Lambrate and of course many unofficial districts like Via Durini, Corso Monforte etc, etc. Add to that the usual ‘must visit’ destinations of Triennale, Spazio Rossana Orlandi and Via Festa De Perdono and other promising displays scattered all over the city, and what you have is a recipe for complete exhaustion and saturation.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for talent and new displays, but really, to be able to even make a quick visit to half of the listed places is turning into an impossible task. And this is not just mine, but the general impression that I’ve got talking to people over the past week. Unfortunately, this is resulting in most people choosing to visit only the ‘popular’ areas and skipping the rest, which in turn leads to a number of genuine talented presentations not being viewed. With the prices touching the roof at these ‘popular’ areas, it comes as no surprise that very few of the new names are able to invest in a space in these zones, even if it means that they have to choose the option of staying in a less visited location. There’s got to be a solution to this issue, enabling a harmonious and cohesive organisation of presentations, but the real question to be asked is.... “is anyone listening?”

RESPONSE TO: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

Site's looking great as are your diegsns. Nice work man. Ive been following off and on but need to get on here more often. Glad to see things are going well and hope you are enjoying London Town! Take care man.



Selling records never made the airstts money. It lines the record companies pocket books. Touring is what makes airstts money. Recording contracts are written in a way that totally removes any monetary reward for the artist, at least in the beginning. I am sure Cake sees a few pence more per album but they bring home the bacon touring. The record gets people interested and the tour brings in the cash.



Thank you for the compliment and the post! We are exceitd to be partnering with you as well. Look forward to seeing what your display looks like! Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help you tell the Century story. http://ueeywjmx.com [url=http://qgrazrlp.com]qgrazrlp[/url] [link=http://bzjvmsyvza.com]bzjvmsyvza[/link]



Sai come la penso, visto che parte di queste cose ce le siamo dette in asesncore :-)Cmq credo che il design e la moda possano non essere entrambi elitari.Perche8 l'Ikea non e8 elitaria ma e8 design (come tutta una tradizione di design scandinavo alle spalle). Emporio Armani (per fare un es.) non e8 cosec elitario eppure e8 moda.La moda e8 una parte sostanziale di Milano e per restare in una posizione dominante tra le altre cose deve aprirsi alla citte0. Magari con sfilate aperte non ai doli addetti ai lavori, con show-room in spazi dedicati allo scambio e alla sperimentazione. In fondo basterebbe "copiare" il Fuori Salone e sarebbe anche un modo per valorizzare gli artigiani e i giovani. Ma non so quanto funzioni la Camera della Moda...forse il nostro futuro sindaco potrebbe interessarsene (chi sare0?).Domenica siamo andati a NavigaMI. Non e8 che uno associ le barche a Milano, fatto sta che era pieno di gente curiosa, desiderosa di conoscere e sperimentare. A Milano esistono ancora tante persone cosec, pure se no sembrerebbe!
