.marniofficial's Francesco Risso shares with us how Italy’s coronavirus crisis and subsequent factory closures are impacting him, his partner, and his colleagues.
I’ve been living in this weirdly surreal limbo with my partner, Lawrence Steele, from quite some time now—it actually started even before the lockdown. When the virus outbreak exploded in China months ago, it came as a shock. Not only did all theshops have to be shut down, but we also had to cancel a show scheduled on March 23 in Beijing, where we were planning to showcase a collection made in collaboration with the Miao community.
From that moment, a sort of cerebral lockdown slowly started to take hold of our energy—the limitations were not only physical, but they were deeply felt on an energetic level too. The morning of myon February 21 here in Milan, while I was driving to the show venue for the rehearsal, I learned of the first outbreak here. It obviously put me in an apprehensive mood. And even if the show was a success, my state of mind was rather terrible.
Better live in the moment, and really appreciate what we have, what life has granted us, the incredible fortunes we could benefit from, to which we’re so accustomed, the likes of which we probably won’t be able to experience tomorrow—who knows? Maybe they’ll manifest themselves in another form; maybe we’ll have to work harder to win them back again. Maybe this situation will give us the opportunity to regain them in a better way than before.
Amid the thousand practical difficulties we have to face to get things going in this tragic situation, and the feel of terrible worry we all share, I also think that, finally, we can spend our days, Lawrence and I, in the silence of our homes, totally concentrating on what is really the essence of our work. And something I cannot stop thinking about these days is love, which is the only thing able to fight any abstruse philosophy—the sense of love beats everything.
