Glass blowing is not only a skill: it is an art, which should be recognized and protected. It is not only us who say so, but also UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. On 6th December, this body decided to register the knowledge, craft and skills of handmade glass production in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Seeing the importance and the beauty of the art of glassmaking recognized is, for us who experience it every day, extremely moving. Our hope never changes: that this incredible art, with all of its traditions and different aspects, may be handed down through time to the generations of the future. #ZignagoVetro #glassproduction #glassindustry #innovation #circulareconomy #UNESCO

In partnership with Art Basel Since its inception in 1970, international Modern and contemporary art fair Art Basel has evolved in its bid to unite and connect different facets of the global art community. Founded by three Swiss gallerists — Ernst Beyeler, Trudl Bruckner and Balz Hilt — the fair today is a global leader with four international shows in Switzerland’s Basel, Miami Beach, Hong Kong and, since 2022, Paris. For luxury fashion, courting the contemporary art customer could provide access to a cohort whose spending appears to be less impacted by rising living costs. According to the 2023 Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting, the median expenditure on fine art and antiques by collectors surveyed across 11 markets worldwide reached $65,000 in the first half of this year, up by 19 percent on 2021. Ahead of the Miami Beach show, which will play host to 277 exhibitors showing over a five-day event, BoF sits down with Art Basel’s global head of partnerships, Melissa Netecke, to discuss the evolution of the art fair, insight into ultra-high-net-worth consumers and how best to utilise the fair as a cultural conduit between art and luxury fashion.

What is common between Luxury and Art? At its core, luxury is often considered a symbol of self-expression. Similarly, art, throughout history, has been an expression of human creativity, emotion, and cultural identity. When these two realms converge, they form a unique narrative and that’s the reason why luxury brands collaborate with renowned artists. Most importantly it helps the consumer to take A JOURNEY FROM JUST CONSUMER TO A PATRON. Here are 5 examples of luxury brands and their relationship with art. #LuxuryArtFusion #ArtfulLuxury #LuxuryCollaborations #ArtandExpression #LuxuryPatronage #LuxuryandArtistry #ArtfulNarratives #LuxuryBrandCollabs #PatronofLuxury #ArtfulJourney

🌟 Decoding the Met Gala: A Masterclass in Luxury and Cultural Influence Ever marveled at the sheer opulence and influence of the Met Gala? This illustrious event is not merely a night of splendor but a pivotal celebration of luxury and artistry that resonates across the global fashion landscape. Hosted at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Gala serves as the key fundraiser for its Costume Institute, a night where the worlds of high fashion, celebrity culture, and art converge in a dazzling exhibition of thematic creativity. Each year's theme invites a display of sartorial masterpieces, showcasing the intricate relationship between luxury fashion and thematic storytelling. From its humble beginnings in 1948, crafted by Eleanor Lambert to secure funds from New York’s elite, to its current status as the zenith of luxury, the Met Gala exemplifies how fashion can encapsulate more than just attire but embody a broader cultural and societal dialogue. This event stands as a testament to the power of luxury fashion to transcend mere aesthetics, acting as a catalyst for discussions on art, expression, and identity. The Met Gala's ability to uphold and magnify the essence of luxury while pushing creative boundaries makes it a beacon for anyone invested in the future of luxury brands and the ongoing evolution of high fashion. 👗✨ Whether you're part of the luxury industry, a fashion aficionado, or a lover of cultural phenomenons, the Met Gala offers invaluable insights into the symbiotic relationship between luxury and cultural innovation. #MetGala #LuxuryFashion #CulturalInfluence #FashionAndArt #LuxuryBrands

When we look at activations like the one mentioned in Stephanie Hirschmiller's article, we reinforce the discussion of Art being appropriated as a medium for innovation - over and over again. In one hand it is always positive to see Art expanding the conversation of new tech, in the other hand sometimes it makes serious debates to be softened, because we often associate Arts & Culture with positive dynamics. Fashion is expanding its presence within the "lifestyle" realm (debate started by theorists on 1980s), in which luxury is not only about the products, but about the culture and the overall behaviour of a community. Thus, I was very please to see this activation by LVMH Guerlain, validating what generations of new media artists have being since late 1980s. And it reminds me other key projects. Such as the early 2010s project, created by Milton Sogabe and his team - SciArts - called METACAMPO (Stephanie Hirschmiller you should definitely check, it is sublime). Check it out in the video: https://lnkd.in/dPDwsCze And the superb work Fragile Creatures by DRIFT Studio, that can never be forgotten and it is one of the most delicate pieces I ever saw. Check it out in the video: https://lnkd.in/da2BRnj8 I hope to see more the arts bringing deeper meaning to products and experiences, but for that we need to keep working in connecting art community with innovation opportunities. Artists are above everything hackers of our dreams, disruptors of the status quo and warriors of the tomorrow lands. So let's make sure artists are highlighted and valued as they deserve. I include myself as a hacker artists, and I would love to hear from others! Are you an artists? Are you trying new things? #luxuryfashion #digitalart #metaverse #iot #digitalfashion
