Past event
The event
Daniela Facchinato traces the life of Massimo Osti, revealing how his work emerged as a direct expression of his many passions and of an unrepeatable era. Drawing on accounts by friends and collaborators, the book is an intimate and collective portrait of someone who knew how to “assemble” the future.
The book delves into Osti’s roots in Bologna, a city that between the 1970s and 1980s was a vibrant epicentre of creativity and activism. A “designer of function” rather than a fashion designer, Osti transformed menswear through garment dyeing and experimental materials.
With Enrico Brizzi, Andrea Renzini, Carlo Tinelli.
