In Milan’s Navigli District, locals embrace vintage clothing and bright colors. By: Jeremy Beiler for NY Times.
Alberto Clementi is an architect, who loves colors: “Everything is used, vintage. Except for the scarf, which is American navaho. Anything with color is good. Used, colored, lived-in. My taste? It comes from my life story, my background. I’ve always been bit of a flower child.”
“The coat is quiet old, I changed the inside fabric from my gramma, because she was a taylor, ” said Maddalena Casadei, industrial designer. She would describe her taste as simple: “I don’t like to show off to much.” Milan in her words “is more international, it’s more easy-going. ... Milan is very open, more than other Italian city.”
Music journalist Gulia Scrocchi is with her blue hair hard to be overlooked: “A girl with blue hair. You either love her or hate her. There’s no half way.”
“Right now in Milan, vintage is very popular. Maybe it’s overused. ... [It’s] a style you have to know how to wear. Not everyone can pull it off.”
