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.
