La moda proibita (Roberto Capucci e il futuro dell'Alta Moda)

Just as it is difficult to create a film from a great literary work, it could now be almost impossible to put into cinema the inimitable genius and unique magic of Roberto Capucci... This film by Ottavio Rosati is a miracle!

A fresh and intense look at the work of Capucci and his incredible art. Amazing.

Roberto Capucci deserved this cinematographic portrait that describes him as one of the greatest couturiers of our time and above all as an artist and a true "silk sculptor". Ottavio Rosati's film joins those who in recent years have been dedicated to Dior, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Versace and Lagerfeld. I was moved by the fact that the realization of the DVD that will bring the film directed by Ottavio Rosati around the world (and not only in the gay high culture) is thanks to Jean Vigo Italia and above all by the Istituto Luce Cinecittà. A century ago the Istituto Luce was born by the will of Benito Mussolini. Would he ever have imagined the Duce that one day his film institute would honor a genius, a lover of Caravaggio and Michelangelo, a pacifist and defender not of the power of the Italian nation but of nature and beauty?

The cross-section of an Italian artist not only of an italian stylist. I found myself in the words of Capucci when he says that for a woman the real beauty is not in the surgical or photoshop retouching. After the vision of the film, I recalled a dream I had months before, where I refused the clothes of a singer and of a scientist in order to reach my own style, my beauty and my identity.

Roberto Capucci has a wonderful gift. Unique. Being timeless, as is his creativity. His works, of this we speak not of clothes created only to cover, are the result of the imagination of a complete artist. This can frighten you as you approach your work. To his works. Making them inaccessible. Prohibited. Only on the surface. His imagination actually has no coordinates of time and space, borders of inspiration is able to touch the soul of each generation. Thus the film from the imaginative editing of Ottavio Rosati: "The forbidden fashion. Roberto Capucci and the future of Haute Couture", well tells these aspects of the imaginative world of Capucci. In particular, it highlights how one of the fathers of Haute Couture in the broadest sense of the word and of the very concept of Made in Italy excellence is an inspiration without seasons for the new generations, not only of stylists, but also of designers and artists of every discipline. When you look at "Forbidden Fashion" you discover Capucci, you discover the creative power of Italy, the potential of new generations. But you can also dream. With a pinch of the right irony, with a lot of emotion. Gian Luca Bauzano
