Photographic Explorations

Combine the provocative sensuality of Ellen von Unwerth’s photography with the legacy of Casadei’s divine shoes, and what you get is a collection of 10 incredibly unique snapshots. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the maison, models wear nothing but one of the 11 shoe designs which Casadei has specifically created for the occasion (and which may only be ordered at its boutique in Milan or at Harrods in London). Along with these photographs, a mini-series, comprising three books, has been published, featuring Casadei’s historic collaborators that include the likes of Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin. A refined cocktail soirée was organised at the Triennale during the recent Milan Fashion, which was attended by the crème de la crème of the city’s fashion crowd, including Vogue Italia’s Editor-in-Chief, Franca Sozzani.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for a photographic escape from fashion, then make sure you head to Virginio Bruni Tedeschi’s exhibition in Paris. Held at the capital’s Italian Institute of Culture, a vast mosaic of snapshots by Carla Bruni’s brother (who passed away several years ago) are on display, revealing a scrap of his intensely vivid life that had been filled with incredible voyages from Chile to Morocco. Finally, should you be craving photography steeped in intellectualism, then Bettina RheimsCan You Find Happiness exhibit will most certainly satisfy you. Currently being held in Milan’s Forma International Centre of Photography, this display features 94 snapshots that are filled with an ‘extraordinarily expressive strength,’ portraying countless of personalities that include Monica Bellucci and Sharon Stone.

Mondo Uno Virginio Bruni Tedeschi–until 24th October 2008.

Can You Find Happiness Bettina Rheims–until 23 November 2008.
