On the occasion of Milano Fashion Week, Fondazione Sozzani presents Marcello Pipitone. Metropoli, a tribute to the metropolitan city, represented through a collection inspired by the street world, sports, and craftsmanship. In this collection, Marcello Pipitone decomposes and recomposes matter by dealing with the city of Milan, interpreting and representing the city through the symbols of its territory. Details of the subway, manhole covers, gates and railings are decomposed and recomposed into textures that become images for his collection. Both elements of street art understood as a social expression, and the world of sport intended as social redemption of the suburbs, are a central theme in the collection.
The collection will be shown during the first presentation according to the fashion week calendar. There will be both unique sartorial products (derived from recycled garments and fabrics) and an industrialized collection. You will also see the works of street artists Giacomo Feltrinelli and Jacopo Cardirola, inspired by the street and made of recovered materials. In addition, Simone Campagna’s installation explores the metropolis, the identity and the coexistence between new technologies. A selection of garments is also available for sale.
Marcello Pipitone was born in Bonola, a district of Milan. In 2018 he created a bag for which will be exhibited at the Ferragamo museum. In 2019 he created his first collection in collaboration with the Detox Consortium and WWF thanks to the support of Vogue Talent and IED, presenting the collection at Pitti 2019 and at the Milan fashion graduate 2019. He finishes university and in the first months of 2020 during the pandemic he starts creating trousers with recycled fabrics for private customers. In 2021 he exhibited his work at the Pistoletto foundation in collaboration with the most renowned companies in the Italian textile supply chain (Cerruti, Albini, Tintoria Emiliana, Filatura Astro, Tessuti Di Sondrio, Taroni, Milior, Eurojersey and others). Thanks to this experience, he began to collaborate between 2022 and 2023 with Tintoria Emiliana to experiment and learn printing and dyeing techniques. Also in 2023, he creates his collection of unique football shirts in collaboration with Drip Italia, the first rental platform in Europe.
