GUIDI COMMUNITY PROJECT PREVIEW EVENT THIS SUNDAY AT SOME/THINGS SECRET
In 2012, SOME/THINGS AGENCY was commissioned to conceptualise and produce the GUIDI COMMUNITY PROJECT, featuring images of fascinating and unique personalities who have incorporated GUIDI products into their lifestyle. Photographed over the course of 12 months, the project involves the collaboration of select GUIDI stockists worldwide.
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 is intended to show the diversity of clientele for GUIDI's own products.
Conceived as an ‘imaginary community’, it 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 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.
Ultimately, through the portraits of these personalities, the GUIDI COMMUNITY PROJECT also documents their cities, producing a unique reportage of Florence, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Moscow, New York, Chicago, Paris, and Shanghai.
