She was the daughter of farmers from the province, and she raised us with the precept of “vest\u00ed ‘dla f\u00e9sta”(clothes you would wear only on a Sunday or on a special occasion). To go to the village: to church on Sunday or to the market on Saturday, to the Ferragosto (15th August) festival. For special holidays, and in obedience to ceremonies with relatives: weddings, funerals, baptisms and confirmations.<\/p>\n

A venial ostentation, arranged with care, to make a good impression, with dignity. A wardrobe of a few essential items, which came from the hands of the town tailor. Which smelled like dried lavender flowers. Sober garments, with a timeless elegance.<\/p>\n

Without fashion, we didn’t know what it meant. Her best youth coincided with a difficult life during the war.<\/p>\n

But it didn’t stop her from dreaming about how city ladies dressed. With easy-going irony for a slight unexpressed desire, he depicted what were the exaggerated and flashy fashion canons of the glittering post-war years: “… ‘na v\u00e9sta con i fior\u00f3n [a dress designed with large flowers] [una veste disegnata di grossi fiori]… with i b\u00f2l\u00f3n [with large polka dots]\u201d. [con grossi pois]\u201d.<\/p>\n

If then in the background of the catwalk there is Parma (the opinionated elegant petite capital) then I willingly sat down at the edge to look for clues. With a pinch of that same irony that my mother liked so much.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_btn title=”Back” color=”black” size=”sm” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-left” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreacalestani.it%2Furban-stories%2F|title:Urban%20stories|”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1707495110050-9afe73444b9bfb935326f55ae64771c4-10″ include=”2053,2055,2057,2059,2061,2063,2015,2017,2019,2021,2023,2025,2027,2029,2031,2033,2035,2037,2039,2041,2043,2045,2047,2049,2051″ css=”.vc_custom_1707495430047{border-top-width: 3px !important;border-right-width: 3px !important;border-bottom-width: 3px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;border-left-color: #ffffff !important;border-left-style: initial !important;border-right-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-style: initial !important;border-top-color: #ffffff !important;border-top-style: initial !important;border-bottom-color: #ffffff !important;border-bottom-style: initial !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
