The collaboration between the amazing Fabio Quaranta and myself/C93 at the Pitti Fashion show in Florence went beautifully. Fabio’s collection deservedly has received hugely enthusiastic reviews from everyone there. A selection of online reviews and blogs, including from Vogue and Vanity Fair, can be seen below. David was also interviewed by the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera; the interview appears below, as does a pre-show article in the January edition of Vogue L’Uomo which discussed Fabio’s work and reproduces two paintings by myself. In the photograph of myself, Baby Dee and Andrew Liles I am wearing a T-shirt that Fabio Quaranta surprised me with carrying the legend ANOK PE on the front. That latter photo, as well as the one of myself and Diane Pernet and the ones of me with the Smiling Cakes of Grace (see elsewhere on this website) are taken by the remarkable Dutch artist and photographer Christina de Vos. The black and white one of Fabio Quaranta and me was taken by the blessed and beloved Giulio Di Mauro.
