Anna Wintour e Donald Trump: stessa cultura, stesso atteggiamento da Boomer

1 week ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

Che si stiano abbuffando ai tavoli del Four Seasons o chiusi in un van con l’aria condizionata al massimo quando fuori c’è la migliore delle primavere, gli americani tracannano, neanche divorano. Padroni del mondo: una caricatura che vorremmo chiedere a Forattini di riassumere. L’altra sera, il Met Gala e ieri le immagini sparse per il pianeta come sassolini al posto di confetti.
Joel Dicker: the Writer and the Publisher

2 weeks ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

CM: This issue is about independence. You are a bestselling author who launched your own publishing house. Today, not many writers start their own company. It’s a move. We are used to listening to so many conversations about the fact that the entire publishing industry is facing a crisis; that the publisher’s role is not so helpful anymore. What if bestselling authors self-publish, counting on their own mediatic power?
Olivier Zham: A Manifesto for the Independent Publishing Industry

4 weeks ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

Carlo Mazzoni: Purple Magazine is a reference for the publishing industry—an art and fashion publication you co-founded in 1992. Lampoon is a cultural magazine, turning 10 years old in 2025. The title of this anniversary issue is Independence. Olivier Zahm: Independence. It means simply being independent from a media group and from external investors who seek mainly profitability. Profitability is always a challenge for an independent magazine. It doesn’t work like that.

Just steps away from the Royal Palace of Caserta—Vanvitelli’s masterpiece—the University of Campania has awarded an honorary research doctorate in Architecture. More precisely, the research field is dedicated to Made in Italy design, identity, innovation, and sustainability. Brunello Cucinelli speaks with a voice that blends into his breathing; his words seem almost sighed out.

A Milano, dopo un intervento lungo tre anni, riapre la storica sede di Louis Vuitton in Via Montenapoleone 2, all’interno del rinnovato Palazzo Taverna.

Allo stesso tempo, Louis Vuitton rinnova il legame con il contesto urbano attraverso il sostegno al Comune di Milano per la valorizzazione del patrimonio artistico, offrendo un sostegno per il restauro di un’area del Castello Sforzesco.
Brunello Cucinelli: ero un contadino, ero povero, mi ubriacavo di cielo

A pochi passi la Reggia di Caserta, il progetto del Vanvitelli. L’Università degli Studi della Campania ha conferito il dottorato di ricerca honoris causa in Architettura – con più precisione, il campo di tale ricerca è disposto al Design del Made in Italy, all’identità, all’innovazione e alla sostenibilità del Made in Italy. Brunello Cucinelli mescola la sua voce al suo respiro, le parole sembrano sospirate.
Lampoon, 10 Years – From the Digital Tribes to a Single Obsession: Sustainability

1 month ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

I was about to graduate in dentistry, but all I wanted was to write novels. I landed at Vogue Italia, as an intern, and started to get a sense of what Franca Sozzani’s job entailed. She would remain my reference point. In the beginning, during my first few days in the Piazza Castello office, I didn’t even have a chair—I sat on a stool reading book presentation sheets. I was a 22-year-old kid: sending faxes, assisting at exhibitions and events, scrolling through digital archives to look for images.
Definition of Sustainability: Fashion Without Microplastics

1 month ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Red meat |Carlo Mazzoni

Buyers and Boomers are convinced: “sustainability doesn’t sell.” Buyers who, by virtue of their generation, were already professionals in the Nineties insist that customers just aren’t interested. They say: everyone talks about sustainability, but when it comes time to purchase, consumers don’t buy it. They repeat: customers don’t care about sustainable offerings.
Fashion in Paris: the three Great Houses – Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel

1 month ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

Writing about fashion: writing by overusing adjectives and personal style opinions; describing a bit of tailoring with a few technical terms, just to appear knowledgeable; transcribing historical notes and reworking a quip so as to disguise gossip as news.
Fashion in Paris - Creativity, not Sustainability

2 months ago | lampoonmagazine.com | Carlo Mazzoni

It’s a given: fashion is not interested in sustainability. Let’s move beyond that. Let’s look for creativity—yes, with polyurethanes, elastics, and plastics—but let’s seek strong creativity, a bold design, an unprecedented idea. Something that influences everything else, as fashion is meant to do. This is not resignation but reaction: creativity has the power to find solutions we cannot yet imagine. Creativity is what we do not yet anticipate. Creativity can be found at Duran Lantink.
