To Waive or Not To Waive: Of Patents and Vaccines
The history of art and fashion is full of intriguing and inspiring stories about bright creative minds who managed to patent their ideas, designs, machines and products. Think about Loïe Fuller: a figure almost reminiscent of a polymath à la Mariano Fortuny, Fuller was not only a dancer and cho...
Well found!

Conceptual Social Distancing Designs from the '60s: Ico Parisi's "Contenitori Umani"
Practicing social distancing to fight against Coronavirus has become the new normal in the last few months. Most public spaces have adopted signs, stickers and displays to remind us where we should sit, stand or stop, but maybe not many designers have developed projects with a conceptual twist a...

The Fashion Renaissance That May Pose Some Legal issues: Gucci Resort 2018
Last Monday Gucci hosted its Resort 2018 show at the Palatina Gallery at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. Alessandro Michele, Gucci's current Creative Director, originally wanted to showcase the collection at the Parthenon in Athens (it looks like Greece is an inspiration for the Resort 2018 collectio...
