Wake up early and get ready to boost your morning creativity
It’s Friday morning. I wake up earlier than usual and I get off the metro in Porta Garibaldi. It’s not hard to find Frog, the design studio in Milan where CreativeMornings takes place once a month – as soon as I reach via Ugo Bassi I meet a bunch of people in their late twenties,...

The Normandy landing
On the 6th of June 1944, known as the “D-day”, the Allies started the landing of an army of over 150.000 soldiers (73.000 Americans and 83.000 British and Canadians) on the beaches of Normandy.

Collaborative Consumption
It is 2014 and cars do not fly. Skateboards do not fly either; lights do not light up with our voice in almost any home, and we are definitely far from inhabiting other planets. The image of the future we who grew up without the Internet had for the new millennium does not look like...
Children who don’t go to school
An ephemeral analysis of the evolution of modern education. I remember the school as a source of stories and gratifying experiences, friends, and teachers; however, I also remember that I hated getting up early in the morning. I hated school, I didn’t want to go. I remember that, being elderly, I remember that I hated...

Hipster!
Let’s start at the beginning. And where did it begin? In New York, always in New York, world capital of the 20th century. Here, and nowhere else, is where the hipster, the original, was born. The term hipster comes from the word “hepcat” (compound of “hep” – or sometimes “hip”-, a phrase used by black...
Vintage markets, tourist attraction or hidden treasures for fashionistas?
London has its own personal style, the people walk around dressed up casual but “researched”, the British love the high street shops (the cheaper version of the latest designer collections, to name the most famous we have Zara, H&M, Primark, Topshop and so on) that allows you to dress up to the nines (if you...
You know man
The videogame saga Rock Star Games is set in Liberty City and it’s known as the virtual city inspired by New York, where its plot develops. We could find some common factors, but the Liberty City which we will bring up close is real: it’s a neighborhood and it’s in Miami. President Franklin D. Roosevelt...
Dandies. The cult to one self
Nowadays it is pretty hard to find someone as modern as the dandy. A figure that fluctuates between Narcissus’ simple vanity and the complex construction of personality, understood as fate, of the mortal who observes life and chooses to turn himself into a work of art. Is it, indeed, about clothes; about the gowns and...
Meet Rodríguez Gerada
