Maison Valentino's plan to re-green Piazza di Spagna, Rome.

This small gesture shows the luxury brand's great connection to its roots. Just this summer, the Spanish Steps hosted the monumental Valentino AW The Beginning show and the historic splendour of this place radiated all over the world.

Düsseldorf, 28 November 2022: Maison Valentino continues its honourable relationship with Rome with an initiative aimed at strengthening its roots in the Roman capital, both symbolically and physically.

Valentino Giving Back Ceremony

Jacopo Venturini, CEO of Valentino, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Creative Director of Valentino, Alessandro Onorato, Councillor for Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion of the City of Rome, and Francesco Ferrini, Professor of Arboriculture at the University of Florence, planted two palm trees in Piazza di Spagna on 25 November. Two of the existing palms were infested with the red weevil and therefore had to be replaced.

Piazza di Spagna

Piazza di Spagna, one of Rome's landmarks, is a significant and obligatory place for Valentino. Not only is there a Valentino boutique, just minutes away from the Valentino headquarters in Palazzo Mignanelli. Piazza di Spagna is one of Rome's landmarks, and Valentino is one of Rome's most important ambassadors to the world. It was only in July that Pierpaolo Piccoli had his The Beginning Haute Couture FW 22 23 collection held on the Spanish Steps, which made people emotional even beyond the world of fashion.

Stud

There are few luxury brands where the ties to the homeland are still so closely anchored in the codes of fashion. Symbols of Rome's beauty are always found in the collections, such as the Stud symbol, which adorns some of the new handbag models in oversized form.

Alessandro Onorato, Councillor for Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion - Rome Capital said that Valentino is a perfect global ambassador for Rome and the action is for attention, care and love for the city. The monumental fashion show in Piazza di Spagna, he said, gave Rome back the role it deserves in the world of international fashion.

For Jacopo Venturini - CEO Valentino, Rome plays a fundamental role for the house and its history and it is of utmost importance to keep the cultural and ethical dialogue with the city and its community alive through every single action, however small.

Maison Valentino plant, die Piazza di Spagna in Rom zu begrünen. Diese kleine Geste zeigt die große Verbundenheit der Luxusmarke mit ihren Wurzeln. Erst diesen Sommer war die Spanische Treppe Schauplatz der monumentalen Show The Beginning und der historische Glanz dieses Platzes ging um die Welt.

Düsseldorf, 28. November 2022: Maison Valentino setzt seine ehrenvolle Beziehung zu Rom mit einer Initiative fort, die darauf abzielt, ihre Wurzeln in der römischen Hauptstadt zu stärken, sowohl symbolisch als auch physisch.

Valentino Giving Back Ceremony

Jacopo Venturini, CEO von Valentino, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Creative Director von Valentino, Alessandro Onorato, Stadtrat für Großveranstaltungen, Sport, Tourismus und Mode der Stadt Rom, und Francesco Ferrini, Professor für Baumzucht an der Universität Florenz, pflanzten am 25. November zwei Palmen auf der Piazza di Spagna. Zwei der vorhandenen Palmen waren vom Roten Rüsselkäfer befallen und mussten daher ersetzt werden. Die Piazza di Spagna, eines der Wahrzeichen Roms, ist ein wichtiger und verpflichtender Ort für Valentino. Hier befindet sich nicht nur eine Valentino-Boutique, nur wenige Minuten vom Valentino-Hauptsitz im Palazzo Mignanelli entfernt. Die Piazza di Spagna ist eines der Wahrzeichen Roms, und Valentino ist einer der wichtigsten Botschafter Roms in der Welt. Erst im Juli hatte Pierpaolo Piccoli seine The Beginning Haute Couture FW 22 23-Kollektion auf der Spanischen Treppe präsentiert, die auch außerhalb der Modewelt für Emotionen sorgte.

Stud

Es gibt nur wenige Luxusmarken, bei denen die Verbundenheit mit dem Heimatland noch so stark in den Codes der Mode verankert ist. Symbole der Schönheit Roms finden sich immer wieder in den Kollektionen, wie zum Beispiel das Stud-Symbol, das einige der neuen Handtaschenmodelle in überdimensionaler Form ziert. Alessandro Onorato, Stadtrat für Großveranstaltungen, Sport, Tourismus und Mode - Rom Capital, sagte, dass Valentino ein perfekter globaler Botschafter für Rom ist und die Aktion für Aufmerksamkeit, Sorgfalt und Liebe für die Stadt steht. Die monumentale Modenschau auf der Piazza di Spagna habe Rom die Rolle zurückgegeben, die es in der internationalen Modewelt verdiene.

Für Jacopo Venturini - CEO Valentino - spielt Rom eine fundamentale Rolle für das Haus und seine Geschichte und es ist von größter Bedeutung, den kulturellen und ethischen Dialog mit der Stadt und ihrer Gemeinschaft durch jede noch so kleine Aktion lebendig zu halten.

The Visit of Trash People Circular Valley Forum Ansgar Van Treeck

Art Calendar / Environment / Business, 19 November 2022

HA Schult's Trash People at the Circular Valley Forum in Wuppertal on 18 November 2022."Check the thing you want to throw away and don't give it away. It is the mirror of yourself. Don't betray your soul." 600 decision-makers from business and politics came together, including environmental activists from the early days such as HA Schult and former Federal Environment Minister Klaus Töpfer, described by the Forum as the "father of the circular economy". The participants were surprised by the Trash People, many of whom had never seen the artworks up close before. But the performance also shows what role artists play. They are not among the decision-makers, but art has the power to unite and emotionalise people, as it did on this evening.

Lavazza 2023 artistic masterpiece calendar "Yes, we`re Open" by Alex Prager.

One of the favourite projects of big brands is to make calendars to combine with art and creativity. How can you possibly create something new? The Italian coffee manufacturer Lavazza has succeeded with its work "Yes, we`re Open", which stages the café bar, described by Lavazza as a "parallel universe café bar". Lavazza chose US photographer Alex Prager for the assignment. Her lush figures, staged in Technic Colours, are artificial and real at the same time, experiencing the problems of today. Alex Prager herself describes them as a "contemporary scream".

Now taking place in autumn, Art Cologne was well prepared, with a new hall layout, wide plazas, floor strips and security. Around 43,000 people visited the fair to see the curated range of contemporary works, classical modernism and post-war German art. It was questionable how the results would turn out, given the energy crisis and the Ukraine war: Read on if you're interested in numbers:
