Milan: MFW – Maliparmi Fall Winter
2013. The Maliparmi Fall Winter 2013 is
called Nomade Remix, it is inspired by the desire for a new
nomadic experience driven by the world wide web, a technology that brings the
whole planet within our reach, shortening distances and turning space and time
into relative concepts.

Nomade Remix. Malìparmi has taken over a
magical space in Milan in Piazza Sant’Eustorgio, overlooking the Romanesque
style basilica. The new Spazio Nomade is
a location whose ever-changing spirit will create an enduring presence. Annalisa
Paresi, president of Malìparmi, says, "I've always been fascinated by
Piazza Sant’Eustorgio, because I felt it was a place of the soul, existing as
if suspended in time. The space has experienced an especially rich history of
new ideas, of fabrics arriving from far-off places, it seemed to be the perfect
place to realise an idea that means great deal to me; a multifunctional
environment that can host a range of diverse initiatives linked to our product,
whilst also fulfilling other roles."

Fall Winter 2013. The Mailiparmi Nomade
Remix collection, “It grew from a wish to travel round the
world", says Silvia Bisconti, Malìparmi's artistic director, "And to
bring back ideas, objects, incentives to combine in a new, contemporary mash-up
that nourishes the memories, emotions and identity of the elements that
generated it".

expressed through prints, shapes and individual garments.

Nomade Remix. In the Nomade Remix silhouette the mash-up of prints,
embroidery and fabrics finds a pleasing equilibrium. Everything is based on the
coat with masculine roots, featuring highly feminine prints, embroidery and
linings, superimposed and layered over the sweater and top ensemble. The wide
skirt, visible at the bottom of the coat, is perfect with the new high-heeled
Mary Janes, the large "Metallic interweaving" shopping bag or the
ultra-embroidered “Crazy Africa” clutch.

Nomade Remix – the bags
Spazio Nomade Malìparmi. Amid
all the frenetic activity of the MFW runaway shows, guests were offered a nomad
brunch. And staying on the Nomad theme, the food was served in appropriate containers,
like these pretty tins in which a delicious hot Chickpea Soup with Croutons was
served, much appreciated on a snowy, grey Milan day.
The cooks - sisters Alessandra
and Roberta Calvo who run Soup in Naples devised the nomad menu.
