Four new Milanese artists rethink the icon of workwear
December 9th, 2020
After the first official drop of The Jumpsuit of Milan, starring four of the twelve local creators called to interpret through their personal style the classic mechanical suit, Garage Italia and nss magazine present the second drop of their collaborative project. The artists involved for the second chapter of The Jumpsuit of Milan are Riffblast, Alessio Bruno Pomioli, Giada Montomoli and Yurisatacooletters. Even the new roster of artists, will tell through a hand-built one-off piece the bond of fashion and automotive that symbolizes both the union of industry and creativity of Milan and the new wave of artists who make it today one of the main cultural hubs in Italy.
The first artist on the new roster is Riffblast, the real name of Matteo Benassi, graphic designer from Bologna who during his career has developed an irreverent and scratchy language, which blends punk suggestions, religious iconography and pop culture. His jumpsuit will follow an anarchic and overloaded mood, with patches and metal appliques with a punk flavor. Alessandro Bruno Pomioli, artistic director of the viral brand Born Romantic, will instead translate the jumpsuit into a canvas for his romantic graffiti art.
Giada Montomoli, co-founder of the YeyaeFont studio, will move in a more sunny and colorful direction, using her knowledge of the fabrics, which decorate the suit like a real textile mosaic, to give a lively twist to the imaginary street surrounding the jumpsuit. Finally, Milanese designer, writer and tattoo artist Yuri Sata, co-founder of the TATTOO STUDIO SATATTTVISION in Porta Venezia, used black and white and the visual rigor of his decorations to impress his mood on the garment.
