ENG > Luisa Via Roma presents “NEO”, a neon and Plexiglas installation by Felice Limosani. The project, loosely inspired by Gianfranco Ferrè carries a provocative and contemporary message/metaphor: “neo” as a symbol and as a stimulus for seeking what’s new, what’s pure creativity, what’s beautiful. It starts from the charisma of a man who was the symbol of understated elegance and conveys a strong message that offers food for thought about the “neo” necessities of fashion. During Pitti Uomo Luisa Via Roma will feature guests, special projects and lots more!

Gianfranco Ferrè e Luisaviaroma lanciano un nuovo progetto presentato da Andrea Panconesi al pubblico internazionale durante la 78a edizione di Pitti Immagine Uomo.
Per l’occasione, il multibrand fashion retailer riconosciuto come luogo di sperimentazione e di cultura contemporanea espone “NEO”, un’istallazione di Felice Limosani che, con il linguaggio della lighting art, mette in scena un messaggio provocatorio e simbolico:
GIANFRANCO FERRE’ IS NOT DEAD, FASHION SYSTEM IS !
L’intenzione espressiva dell’opera si ispira liberamente all’uomo Gianfranco Ferrè che incarnò i valori senza tempo della ricerca del nuovo, della creatività come eccellenza e della cultura del bello. Nello stesso tempo evoca con un paradosso le neo necessità del “grande sistema moda”. Un’idea che includa nuovi saperi, che richiami linguaggi diversi,ma soprattutto un’idea di realtà condivisa con il design, il web e le avanguardie artistiche.
Arte, luce e concetto sono gli elementi attraverso cui Felice Limosani interpreta i valori inconfondibili di Gianfranco Ferré, definito da un’eleganza essenziale, rigorosa e sofisticata che continua a ispirare il nuovo percorso del brand.
Un concetto che segnala l’inizio di un nuovo ciclo e incita al ripensamento di un sistema che deve intrecciarsi con suggestioni, interazioni e segni che arrivano dalle persone attraverso la rete.
Partendo dal tributo all’uomo Gianfranco Ferré, Luisaviaroma intende contribuire al cambiamento, evoluzione e trasformazione della moda.
Un fenomeno collettivo, creativo e culturale, con strategie e preferenze rivolte a un
pubblico globale con l’innovazione nel sangue e la passione per la moda.

You can’t miss the biggest attraction in Via Roma…
LUISAVIAROMA presents RIFF
Posted by in Art | Designers We Love | Event | Follow The Buyers | Newsworthy - (Comments Off)![]()
Today Luisa Via Roma is in great turmoil. Pitti Uomo begins, and with it the installation Riff, created by Felice Limosani for Les Copains. Riff, as in refrain, is a metafor for the rythmic tension and melodic patterns of a weaving machine.
In Luisa’s window the installation stands alone with two vintage TFK M15A Telefunken reels which are connected to eachother by a ribbon producing a narration, just like old recording devices used to produce or record sound and action. Stay updated for a video of the reels in action!
Additionally, Les Copains has created two special edition knit cardigans for Luisa Via Roma.
