Francesco Musati & Valentina Aimone: Rocking Fornarina
Rocking Fornarina celebrates the past ten years of Fornarina’s “street couture” shoewear and apparel through the photographs of Francesco Musati and Valentina Aimone, who together have developed the brand’s identity into a sexy, sassy and artful visual style. Founded in 1947 by Gianfranco Fornari, and now led by his son Lino, Fornarina has galvanized the women’s shoe and apparel industry with its fresh take on urban style, emphasizing strong color, bold contours, humor and mischievous, tongue-in-cheek glamour, in styles ranging from sandals and sabots to boots and pumps. Rocking Fornarina includes a selection of previously unpublished photos by Musati and Aimone (who have been photographing for the company for more than 20 years), and a style gallery with portraits of Fornarina’s celebrity fans, such as Lindsay Lohan and Martina Stella.
