Miriam Brindisi, with her long professional experience straddling two artistic disciplines, music and fashion, takes us on a journey into that hybrid zone where anything is possible, to the heart of creative inspiration and the thousands of possibilities it grants us.
Our guest will tell RUFA students how music inspired fashion and how today it is fashion that inspires music.
We will talk about the concept of look and how it came about, from the 1970s, trying to trace a historical thread through exemplary case histories, such as the figure of Anthony Price, who went from being a member of Roxy Music to becoming a stylist, dressing the likes of Duran Duran, Bowe, and many others.
A perfect example to focus on the concept of fluidity, of areas that are not clearly delineated, of that sense of ‘possible’ that makes you become anyone, you just have to want to.

The greatest artists of Italian and international music have passed through here. From Renato Zero to Bernstein, from Lucio Battisti to Take That. From Patty Pravo to Lou Reed.
She has been involved in strategic marketing of both international and local repertoire, and has collaborated with Raffaella Carrà, Mogol, Dori Ghezzi and Cocciante. She has contributed to the relaunch of artists of the calibre of Rino Gaetano.

She was hired by María Grazia Chiuri as a personal assistant, and during this time she carried out bibliographic, concept and image research tasks, buying and selecting books for all the style offices.
From 2016 (the year in which María Grazia Chiuri left Valentino to become Creative Director of Dior) to the present day, she is the curator of Valentino’s in-house library, and continues to do research under the direction of fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.
