GUIDI COMMUNITY PROJECT BY SOME/THINGS, PRIVATE LAUNCH PARTY AT SILENCIO
the GUIDI COMMUNITY PROJECT will be officially unveiled during a private event at SILENCIO on Monday, march 4th, 2013, followed by the release of a monograph coinciding with Paris Fashion Week in September.
One of the oldest tanneries in Italy, GUIDI was founded in 1896 by Guido Guidi, Giovanni Rosellini, and Gino Ulivo. Still one of the highest-quality leather suppliers in the world, GUIDI's own production line is headed by Ruggero Guidi and includes shoes, bags, and accessories. While the tannery is renowned in the fashion industry, providing leathers for some of the most acclaimed designers, the COMMUNITY PROJECT intends to show the diversity of clientele for GUIDI's own products.
Completed over the course of 12 months in collaboration with select GUIDI stockists worldwide, the COMMUNITY PROJECT provides insight into the lives of GUIDI’s customers, photographed in the homes, workplaces, and favourite locations of leading figures in industries such as music, finance, science, technology, medicine, architecture, and cuisine, including acclaimed casting director FRANCINE MAISLER [THE USUAL SUSPECTS, TREE OF LIFE, and THE FIFTH ELEMENT], AKIHISA MATZURA— one of the most renowned music producers in Japan, HIROYUKI MURAKAMI— concept developer for Toyota’s Partner Robot Division, RICCARDO BRUNI of leading textile company Lyria, as well as SANDEEP DESAI— the Chief Financial Officer of CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS JAPAN.
