As it hits the shelves, we bring you a few highlights from this month's issue of MOJEH...
"We were both born in Rome and so, art is part of our lives. That’s why we find inspiration in it. All that we do is very close to us personally", says Chiuri. "Art is a witness of our time," adds Piccioli, layering insight onto Chiuri’s musings as the pair often do, in tune with each other’s thoughts after more than two decades working together." We believe that with fashion, you have to be a witness of your times too. It is the same thing with art, but in a different language." Opening their doors to their atelier in Paris, we sat down with Valentino's creative directors, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, to discuss Haute Couture and much more.
With the sad departure of Raf Simons from Dior, we discuss his latest (and last) couture collection for the house as a rebellion between fantasy and fashion took form.
"The transition did not happen overnight. I think I always had an interest in creative and artistic fields, but I had never expressed that strongly before. I grew up in Tripoli, which is a city in the north of Lebanon and the perception of success there is in big part dictated by a limited number of academic fields. This has partly influenced my academic choice and led me to major in a scientific field. But, when I was getting my Master’s degree in New York, I started to realise that what I want to do is different from what I was doing at the time."Born in Beirut and educated in NYC, gain an insight into the life and work of the young jewellery designer, Gaelle Khouri, who's our one to watch.
