salone isn’t about furniture trades only. it’s becoming more and more about culture - fashion - networking my new-newsletter https://thefashionarchives.substack.com/what started in 1961 as a trade fair for italian furniture is now the unofficial soft launch of the global creative calendar. it’s milan’s design olympics, its most stylish week (more than mfw - it's like MORE REAL), and one of the best-kept secrets for fashion insiders who are actually doing things behind the scenes.we're talking about an annual design takeover where fashion people finally relax. no step-and-repeats, no chaos PR pitstops, no seat assignments — just editors, stylists, buyers, and directors walking slowly through installations, touching fabrics, asking questions, and talking like actual humans.this is where storytelling meets design. where prada hosts symposiums on moving trains. where loewe turns teapots into art. where jil sander reinterprets the s64 chair. where gucci reimagines bamboo as concept.salone is where the fashion industry’s deeper thinking happens — off-runway, off-season, off-brand (in the best way). it's strategy disguised as furniture. it’s presence without performance. and it’s where you’ll find the archive-makers, not just the content creators.fuorisalone — the city-wide offsite satellite shows — is where the real stuff goes down. brutalist parking garage exhibitions. rooftop lamp launches. conversations over espresso in courtyard cafés.salone isn’t loud. it’s smart.and if you're sleeping on it, you won’t after reading this newsletter.save the cheat sheets about where to eat, where to shop, which fashion brands are showcasing where that you'll find in my newsletter :)))also: walk without purpose.YOU'LL FIND ME HERE:insta @chez.amelie
