CIFF Media

A few weeks ago, CIFF Media on Location travelled to Milan for CIFF Nordic Signatures at 10 Corso Como.

While there, CIFF Media Lead Rebecca Laudrup sat down with Alessio de Navasques, fashion scholar at La Sapienza University and curator at 10 Corso Como, to discuss the space's cultural vision, creative collaborations and exhibitions.

Together, they explore how 10 Corso Como has become much more than a store—a destination where fashion, art and culture meet. The conversation also touches on Monies' sculptural jewellery and the dialogue between Scandinavian design and Italian creativity.

Next up in CIFF Media's Short Talks: Les Deux.  

CIFF Director Sofie Dolva caught up with Les Deux Co-Founder Andreas Von Der Heide to talk about building community and staying relevant in a rapidly changing market. They discuss the collaborations that continue to shape the brand's journey, what's on the horizon, and how Les Deux continues to resonate with consumers around the world. Andreas also shares what visitors can expect from the brands' expanded presence at CIFF in just a few weeks.
