Borsalino
Diversity as a wealth also passes through the choice of the hats that we put on our heads. To celebrate Pride Month 2022, Borsalino could only create a capsule collection of whimsical and sophisticated hats and caps, in which the symbols of the movement in support of the LGBTQI + community become messages to wear. Thus the Maison’s legendary hand-woven Panamas, epitomes of craftsmanship and style, are covered with an unprecedented grosgrain ribbon that combines the rainbow theme with an elegant optical pattern. The iconic baseball caps proposed with a plexiglass visor cannot be missing, enriched by rainbow straps and star-studded pins, which refer to energy and freedom. The brand also supports Tessere le Identità , an association that promotes solidarity projects in the social sphere. Founded in 2013, it aims to build a widespread culture of respect for differences, non-discrimination and hospitality.

Giulia Lamarca x Poupine
Neighbors without knowing it, Francesca Romana Paciaroni and Francesca Petaccia are initially united by the disease, one due to leukemia and the other due to a missed transfusion, and then by the great passion for fashion. A profound bond that is realized in the foundation of a brand together, called Poupine, which tells the desire to be reborn and reinvent itself through porte-bonheur clothes. Together with another special girl, Giulia Lamarca, they designed a capsule of hand-painted dresses that celebrate beauty and vitality. In fact, Giulia, too, has seen her life change from one moment to the next, when she, at the age of 19, lost the use of her legs in a car accident. She too did not lose heart, overcoming her own limits and continuing to travel, her great passion, aboard her wheelchair. A positivity and determination that can be found in the pink tigers that peep out on the skirts and romantic dresses of the capsule, the color of the bicycle that Giulia dreamed of as a child, but also of femininity and solidarity between women.
