Prada || Facism and Fashion

Miuccia Prada’s profound artistic expression as a household fashion designer explores the intriguing connection between Prada's first show and her nuanced commentary on fascism, drawing inspiration from key historical events and cinematic influences.

She took her audience in her debut Fall 1988 Milan Fashion Week runway show to the turbulent era of post-World War II and the aftermath of Benito Mussolini’s rule in Italy.

Drawing inspiration from the Italian Neorealist film movement of the 1950s, particularly Roberto Rossellini's iconic film "Rome, Open City," Prada masterfully infuses her collection with visual references and narrative subtleties.

By exploring the gritty reality and human experiences depicted in this cinematic gem, Prada cleverly incorporates themes of resistance, resilience, and the dichotomy of power.

Today, there’s no re-edition bag, mens sport shoes, headbands, or galleria bag, there’s not even Raf Simons or a slime curtain! But there is symbolism, historical references, and cultural significance that is woven throughout the first ever Prada show.

By examining the strange intersection of fashion and fascism, we gain a deeper understanding of the power of artistic expression to challenge and provoke thought through the medium of art that is fashion.

How Dutch Gouda Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Family Farm || Short Film

Every year, 650 million kilos of Gouda cheese is produced in the Netherlands.

Most of it is produced industrially, using pasteurized milk, but there are 280 farmers across the country still making raw-milk boerenkaas, or farmer's cheese.

And there are only two farms that take their cheese to the next level, making Boeren Goudse Oplegkaas, or aged artisanal Gouda, a special type of raw-milk farmhouse cheese that must weigh at least 20 kilograms, must age at least two years, and can be made only in the summer with cattle grazing in the Green Heart region, between the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.

We met with cheesemaker Marije Van der Poel, who lives on an island in the village of Rijpwetering in South Holland with her husband, Hugo, and their three children and makes 15 wheels of aged artisanal Gouda every day at the back of their house.
