Art mixes with fashion and architecture and this time even with town planning, no less, going outside the galleries and putting itself literally at the feet of everyone. It is the third edition of “Sopra il sotto – Tombini Art”, an initiative created by Monica Nascimbeni and promoted by Metroweb under the patronage of Comune di Milano and the collaboration of Camera della Moda Italiana. Together, from February 24, 2015 and until January 2016, they carry through the streets of Milan Haute Couture a real open air art exhibition to trample, that gives new meaning to the concept of “street art”. Big names of Italian fashion (from Giorgio Armani to Valentino, from Prada to Etro to Alberta Ferretti), give the city a choral work enjoyed by everyone along the streets Montenapoleone and Sant’Andrea. And they do this through proper 24 manholes offering passersby an original and alternative fashion, celebrating with their colors and their images the theme of internationality in Milan, covered on the occasion of Expo 2015 from its best excellence. To notice, moreover, the initiative’s charity: as happened in previous years, at the end of the exhibition the manholes will be restored and beaten up for auction at Christie’s, and their derived will be entirely donated to charity by Metroweb on behalf of Oxfam Italy, non profit organization and Civil Society Participant of Expo 2015.
