Paola Jacobbi On Covid 19 & the Milan Fashion Scene

Filmmaker and journalist Paola Jacobbi begins A Different Tweed’s periodic series of Covid 19 conversations with fashion professionals around the world. Paola lives in Milan where she works as a contributing editor to the Italian editions of Grazia, Harper’s Bazar and Marie Claire. She is also at work on a hybrid documentary, The Girl In the Fountain. Exploring the life of Anita Ekberg – who shot to fame after Federico Fellini cast her in La Dolce Vita - Monica Bellucci will also star. On this episode, Paola considers virtual as the new normal and delivers her mixed feelings about experiencing events like fashion month and the world’s great film festivals from the vantage point of her laptop. She also looks back to February’s Milan Fashion Week and explains how Giorgio Armani woke up the fashion world to the pandemic by staging his ready-to-wear show amidst his empty Tadao Ando-designed theater.
