CLARISSA OLIVERIO creates for the people who wants to be unique while remaining elegant and sensitive to the artistic element. Those who choose this style are bold. The men and women who wear it are characterized by a complex and artistically relevant spirit. The glasses of the Italian Maison are made using exceptional fabrics handcrafted in Florence, straw inlays handcrafted in France, fused silicones and artistic processes reminiscent of the extinguished and inflamed lava, Silver jewelry handmade in Italy and embroidered inserts in 24 Kt gold.

Each eyewear is subject to numerous and meticulous phases all curated by the designer, from the research of the most precious materials to the final assembly, which takes place in her Parisian atelier. The glasses are made with exceptional materials and workmanship, with many details that make each eyewear unique.

Clarissa Oliverio is Italian, she is originally from Como, she has lived in cities like Milan, Ravenna, Florence and now she has chosen to live in Paris, a beautiful city where she feels welcomed and inspired.

Her parents produced pure silk accessories and from an early age she grew up in their laboratory, where she had the opportunity to closely observe the world of the important Como silk companies. This gave her a thorough training in high-quality fabrics, their production and their quality.

In his creativity are strongly present both the Italian and the French style, always passionate about French impressionist painters. During her life she finds herself deepening herself in an important way and then finding herself following her creativity to express herself and connect emotionally with people. The creation of an accessory or a dress for her goes through a clear vision of what she wants to create and propose and the research of materials, manual processing, stylistic design, the creation of forms convey, for her, a metaphorical concept very precise.

What for Clarissa was her journey through dreams, difficulties, changes and even bigger dreams, the newfound joy and ability to feel good about herself, you can recreate and define in material form becoming an accessory or a dress to wear and be part of the free interpretation of the wearer.

Each person can receive and reinterpret that story in his own way and countless times. The mood of his collections follows unceasingly this conscious creative path, his creation is aimed primarily at people.

After high school she attended the course of Fashion Designer at the Istituto della Moda Marangoni in Milan and then graduated in Law at the “University of Milan” graduating a year before the normal course of studies, driven by the thirst to learn as much as possible and in many areas.

Life led her to work in the legal sector for a few years, but eventually she decided to leave the city of Milan and her career to find herself at a deeper level. In her solitude and thanks to her discipline and constant search for herself, she has rediscovered her true nature that she lives to create, draw, invent and discover.

He founded his Maison only in 2021 and in less than a year he found great interest in his creations, so that they entered the most important stores in Europe.

His style is decisive and creative, ignores commercial dogmas, making uniqueness and originality his guiding principle. She loves to play with important materials, on which she herself works manually to compose with precision and imagination.

Miscelánea ci invita a esplorare le connessioni tra la cultura giapponese e mediterranea attraverso ambienti in cui tradizione e innovazione coesistono.

Etnia Barcelona dimostra ancora una volta il suo legame con il mondo dell’arte, questa volta con il lancio di Miscelánea. La campagna, attraverso la quale il marchio di occhiali di Barcellona presenta la sua nuova collezione Autunno-Inverno 2023, ritrae un mondo ricco di simbolismo in cui convergono due culture: quella giapponese e mediterranea.

Miscelánea ritrae atmosfere surrealiste uniche intepretate da personaggi femminili, la cui composizione è un chiaro omaggio all’arte pittorica classica. In ogni immagine convivono elementi della cultura giapponese con quelli mediterranei, insieme a oggetti tradizionali e moderni. Il risultato sono opere pittoriche che intrecciano due culture e decontestualizzano simboli, fondendo tradizione e innovazione e offrendo molteplici livelli di interpretazione. Miscelánea riporta in vita anche il concetto di “Be An Artist”, uno slogan che accompagna il marchio dal 2017 e invita alla ribellione attraverso l’arte come forma di espressione individuale..

Con questa campagna, fotografata da Biel Capllonch, Etnia Barcelona mette in evidenza l’eredità culturale e artistica di due mondi apparentemente distinti e distanti: il Mediterraneo, luogo che ispira e ha visto crescere il marchio, e il Giappone, una regione antica ricca di simbolismo e leggende mitologiche.

Questo mix di influenze si riflette anche nei design della nuova collezione femminile di montature, che si distinguono per la combinazione di acetati naturali con texture e dettagli ispirati al Giappone, caratterizzati da forme audaci di stampo mediterraneo. Tra le novità più interessanti ci sono stampe che rappresentano le squame dei pesci koi, i colori dei fiori di ciliegio o un dettaglio circolare sulle aste che simboleggia il sole nascente.

La collezione Autunno-Inverno 2023 è ora disponibile presso i negozi di ottica selezionati (consulta il localizzatore di negozi sul sito web del marchio), su www.etniabarcelona.com e nel suo negozio principale.

To mark its 125th anniversary, RIMOWA continues its touring exhibition SEIT 1898, which guides visitors through the rapid evolution of travel that’s defined the times since the maison’s founding in Cologne, Germany in 1898. SEIT 1898 features over 100 cases from its archives and friends of the brand that look back on the cultural and technological forces that shaped these resilient tools of transport.

Following its first stop in Tokyo (from June 9th to 18th), SEIT 1898 is now coming to New York (from September 8th to 17th), with other locations for 2024 still to be announced.
With destinations finally returning to calendars after an unprecedented pause, the retrospective comes at a fitting time to reflect on what it means to move. As we look to the future, SEIT 1898 showcases how the many transformations in travel over the last 125 years have all left their unique mark on the luggage we carry today.

A careful selection from RIMOWA’s extensive archive tells this story. Presented in a series of evocative diorama displays — like a larger-than-life ‘exploded’ RIMOWA Cabin — elements of the brand’s past are expressively reconstructed to mark the materials, places, people, trends, and craft that defined its identity. Featured throughout the displays are experimental artistic partnerships, rarely-seen privately owned cases from public figures like Spike Lee, Martha Stewart, LeBron James, Lewis Hamilton, Takashi Murakami, Billie Eilish, and Patti Smith, as well as special purpose cases tailored for anything from poker sets to Stradivarius violins, and items that marked milestone advancements for the brand like the iconic grooves first introduced in 1950. Alongside these are coveted collaboration pieces with brands like Off-White and Dior, and pop culture artifacts like the briefcase from Mission Impossible IV. Cases fit for the archives will be continually added. To mark the newest addition — a collaboration with Tiffany & Co. set to be unveiled at the end of this month — visitors to the New York exhibition will find a dedicated space evoking the jeweler’s signature blue box and hinting at the collaboration pieces soon to be released. Together, the curation examines RIMOWA’s many noteworthy contributions to the material culture of travel from the end of the 19th century to the present.

“SEIT 1898 is a testament to RIMOWA’s commitment to its heritage,” says Emelie de Vitis, Senior Vice President Product & Marketing at RIMOWA. “It shares its pioneering design philosophy that’s endured for 125 years and continues today. And we couldn’t be more pleased to bring that story to such a history rich travel hub like New York.”
