Here's what went down at Golden Goose HAUS Week
An event full of immersive experiences taking over Marghera
April 23rd, 2024
Last weekend, from April 19th to 21st, Golden Goose invited its Community of Dreamers to discover the brand's history and the importance of craftsmanship and art in its projects. A series of talks, workshops, performances, and skate sessions enlivened the port of Marghera in Venice to narrate through tangible experiences all the influences that pervade the brand's creations. Golden Goose's Dream Makers were able to learn more about traditional practices such as shoemaking and tailoring, moving on to craftsmanship, upcycling, and ceramics. In the Manovia, the area dedicated to shoe craftsmanship, the backstage of the construction, repair, and customization activities of the Venetian brand's products were revealed to the public, while in the Hangar, artworks were exhibited to illustrate the strong connection between the brand and art.
With performances by international artists Andrés Reisinger, Fabio Viale, Maïa Régis, and Mia Lailani, HAUS brought under the spotlight the significant influence of art, craftsmanship, and music in Golden Goose's creations, a connection also celebrated on Saturday night during an explosive evening, which began with a music showcase directed by the Golden Goose team followed by the dance beats of Danish DJ and multidisciplinary artist Courtesy. Later, craftsmanship and artistic expression were revisited thanks to L.R.P. & SWAMPGOD, Franco Puppato, Power Notte, Matteo Seguso, Fotta, Alberto Bof, Giorgio Maria Cornelio, Gandhara, Lorenzo Silvestri, Thuono, and Vega Kollective. To conclude HAUS Week, nss took over the HAUS spaces to present three talks on art, skate culture, and sneakers, a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the Golden Goose universe and its vast Community of Dreamers together with Archived Dreams, Rune Glifberg, Victoria Genzini, Antonio Monfreda, and Scarpe.
