‘Italy, Texas’ è un corto della regista Aoife McArdke arruolata da 55DSL per presentare la sua collezione nelle infuocate pianure statunitensi. Un distacco dal suolo italiano che descrive in ogni caso 24 ore in Italia, una differente Italia, però, nel cuore Texas. Un video che, grazie all’approccio documentaristico della regista, risulta semplice nella narrativa ma al contempo ricco nel descrivere l’esuberanza della gioventù e la potenza delle connessioni durature che compongono le nostre vite. Un film che esamina la nostra relazioni con la anime selvagge con cui condividiamo le nostre vite. Animali, uomini, lo spirito stesso della vita; queste anime sono caparbie, sono indomabili e sono parte di noi. Andate a vederlo su Vimeo.
Fabio is an old-fashioned dreamer. He was one of those kids who always came home late at dinner after a city bike tour with friends, before biking became a status symbol. Clarks on his feet, sweater and shirt are his trademark and not a political label. At 16 years-old he was given a plane ticket to Texas, saying “go and learn as much as you can”. Since then, curiosity has always been the main feature that brings through everything. He does not follow trends even if he works for a prestigious School of Fashion in Milan. Today he is a marketing and communication expert, despite he daily asks himself on the real meaning of these two words. Waiting to be able to challenge with Peter Pan on finding elixir of life, Fabio spends his days developing projects with passion, optimism and energy. He pays each month taxes but is convinced that his real pension will be the online wine shop that updates sporadically due to which he now distinguishes table wine from a bottle of fine Barolo. He prefers Barbera to Chianti and Nero d’Avola.
