On the occasion of Milano Fashion Week, Fondazione Sozzani presents Metropoli, a tribute by Marcello Pipitone to the metropolitan city, represented through a collection inspired by the street world, sports, and craftsmanship. In this collection, Marcello Pipitone decomposes and recomposes the materials, 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.

On show June 2023, from Sunday 18th to Thursday 22nd, from 11:00AM to 7:30PM
