Federica Salto intervista Benedetta Barzini: il racconto di una vita esplora il rapporto conflittuale con le immagini. Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

In questo speciale episodio del Gucci Podcast la giornalista Federica Salto intervista Benedetta Barzini. Accademica, giornalista e icona della moda anni Sessanta, Benedetta Barzini è apparsa in molteplici campagne pubblicitarie Gucci e Gucci Beauty tra cui la campagna Pre-Fall 2020 scattata da Bruce Gilden, la campagna Gucci Beauty per il lancio del rossetto Gucci Rouge De Beauté Brillant e la campagna Gucci Beauty Holiday Wishes. Attraverso le domande di Federica Salto, Benedetta Barzini ripercorre le tappe della sua vita, la cui essenza non è collocabile unicamente all’interno della definizione di top model ma, anzi, si declina in tante altre definizioni: femminista, attrice, madre, attivista, nonna.

Le voci di due generazioni si confrontano sul tema delle immagini e del rapporto conflittuale che ci lega ad esse, esplorando come le norme sociali e i filtri culturali influenzino e determinino la rappresentazione femminile, spaziando su temi come creatività, lavoro e maternità.

Federica Salto è una giornalista che si occupa di moda e con la sua newsletter “La moda, il sabato mattina” racconta le infinite sfaccettature del mondo del fashion. Per ricevere la sua newsletter, iscriviti qui.
