Milan fashion week, the brilliant art of Antonio Marras among the ashes of Montiferru
The parade in a new short film set in the recently burned woods
The brilliant art of Antonio Marras will be the protagonist at Milan Fashion Week, the exhibition dedicated to the main spring / summer 2022 collections which, from today to September 27, projects Italy into the Olympus of world fashion.
Today, when it comes to haute couture in the five continents, all the major international players think of Sardinia thanks to the creations of the Alghero artist who, in addition to being a stylist, is an eclectic personality who never fails to amaze with his discoveries that dig into the soul and trace a deep furrow in the memory.
After the evocative parade among the nuraghi in a short film that hit the target of surprising the world audience in a virtual catwalk, the only one possible in the tragic winter of the pandemic, tomorrow the sublime art of Antonio Marras will always be mediated by a cinematographic transposition : a new short film conceived in an apocalyptic scenario, that Montiferru put to fire and sword by murderous hands that this summer thought of tragically wounding a stupendous territory, rich in a wooded heritage of over 750 hectares burned for almost all of its tree species that for centuries have represented an environmental heritage of enormous value.
After filming in mid-August between Badde Urbara, Santu Lussurgiu, passing through Ittireddu and the Nuraghe di Sant'Antine, Marras was struck by the imaginative and painful power of such a vast expanse of ash in a place that dominated by the luxuriant vegetation.
From these rarefied feelings, like the atmosphere of a black mantle that stretches as far as the eye can see in a huge burnt forest, the idea was born of setting the parade for the Milanese event, so that the whole world can know similar atrocities.
Tomorrow at 1 pm, therefore, the spotlight will be on a new chapter of the genius of Marras who will not fail, as on every occasion, to amaze the public, professionals, enthusiasts and make the whole planet talk about an Island that is always capable of fascinate and make you dream from one end of the map to the other, even when his wounds are so current and still very vivid in the memory of the Sardinians.
