Stilista, talent scout, imprenditore e comunicatore, Elio Fiorucci apre il suo primo negozio a Milano, nel 1967, mostrando ai milanesi le ultime novità di Carnaby Street e Manhattan. Nel 1970 disegna con Italo Lupi il suo celebre logo con gli angioletti vittoriani. Lo stile Fiorucci è la ricontestualizzazione di tanti elementi tratti da culture diverse, con un pizzico di nostalgia per il passato, unito a uno sguardo al futuro: un equilibrio che esce da ogni preconcetto per muoversi tra materiali, forme e cose diversissime, senza pregiudizi, né gabbie culturali.

Fiorucci Vs Diesel Strategy

an excerpt.

Fiorucci

Fiorucci’s marketing reflects their target demographic, who is your average person, and that is to say that it’s not very different or unique from other brands like them.

Fiorucci’s marketing budget seems to be pretty small. In the You Will Be With Us In Paradise documentary the Schaffers were discussing Charli XCX who was attending their launch party, and how they hoped that she would have an impromptu performance as they couldn’t afford to pay her (not online but just to illustrate how they don’t have a huge budget).

They mostly rely on sending PR packages to influencers and seem to be resigned to only working with C-list celebrities. The people they choose to promote the brand range from completely basic to slightly edgy).

This actually might not be a huge problem as it portrays a more relatable image that fits their products. Their clothing is for people who might not want to stand out and are just wearing the clothes casually, and they might not even follow celebrities that closely, especially considering they have older customers as well.

Their visuals represent the brand, they are colourful and fun. The casting is conventionally attractive but ordinary-looking people, the styling is trendy but is very wearable and easy to replicate by the average person.

Their marketing might be more typical compared to Diesel but they show their products well and it is effective in attracting their desired customer.

They are a fast fashion company, so they are in the business of large volumes and big numbers. There is more of a focus on selling rather than building a brand image. Their Instagram constantly pushes products, posting multiple stories of their garments every single day.

Instead of marketing, they focus on making the purchasing process as painless and easy as possible for the customer.

Even though they do not employ any wild marketing strategies or especially unique touchpoints, the modern Fiorucci customer isn’t looking for something radically different, so their strategy fits their target audience.

Diesel

Diesel’s main strategy is focused on elevating its brand image, so they spend a lot of money on marketing and improving its designs, and its marketing is focused more on curating a vibe, an image for consumers to aspire to, rather than pushing products.

Despite spending money and effort on marketing and design they do not put the same amount of thought into their website and it shows. It’s practically impossible to find any items in stock to purchase, with no filtering system to distinguish them. The website is cluttered, disorganized, and feels like a maze. It would be much more beneficial to put more effort into proving their user interface and utilise their budget better.

In spite of having a virtually unusable website, they are able to survive probably through 3rd party retailers like SSENSE and Farfetch. These sites come with a built-in customer base who are already familiar with the interface. SSENSE in particular has a younger audience (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/23/style/the-sensibility-of-ssense.html), which is very in line with Diesel.

However, it is still more beneficial to make sales through their own website as they don’t have to pay commission, they are able to provide a more unique customer journey and they can get more information like user data and analytics. They could also sell on both their own website (after fixing it) and third-party platforms.

A lot of the hype around the brand has been generated through social media, with fashion commentators gaining thousands of likes singing praises for Glenn Marten’s designs, and everyone and their mother posing for pictures with the viral Diesel logo bag.

However, attitudes have changed after scathing reviews on the quality (or lack thereof) of the clothing. Some people even express that AliExpress knockoffs have better quality than the authentic product (eg. comments of https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8PRvLSJ/). It does not seem to have dramatically impacted the brand so far and there will always be uneducated consumers, but if the problem persists this will likely have a large negative impact on the brand and will hinder them from making more sales.

This is especially detrimental to cultivating brand loyalty. Although Diesel is very popular at the moment, its future is still uncertain and it might not stand the test of time. Diesel is no longer the established and trusted brand it once was, and if they want to rebuild their reputation to move beyond being just a trendy brand they will need to fix issues like quality.

Diesel seems to have a pretty huge marketing budget, being able to hire an in-demand designer and being able to afford to send Kanye 100k worth of clothing (and presumably even more as a marketing fee) for a few pictures. Using celebrity endorsements helps  increase the desirability of the brand. 

They sell to the young, trendy, and fashionable, so their customer cares a lot about how they will appear as a person wearing Diesel. The Diesel customer wants to stand out, they want to be fashion forward. So, Diesel portrays themselves as new and fresh, with innovative and artsy campaigns that captures a unique, youthful spirit. They stand out from other brands.

Diesel’s bread-and-butter is its designs that are at the end of the day done very well, and although marketing is important it’s only as successful as the designs are good.

The brand’s success speaks for itself. Even though their brand experience for enter to extend is not up to par, Diesel proves that in the end, if they can get the customer to buy into the brand and get to the website, they have succeeded.

However, even if Diesel is undoubtedly bigger than Fiorucci, it’s still the worse example because it has potential to be much better with relatively easy-to-fix problems, while Fiorucci, without a big name creative designer or money to burn on marketing, manages to make a lot out of the little they have.

Coming out day, presentato alla biblioteca di Roma il libro “Caccia all’OMO. Viaggio nel paese dell’omofobia” di Simone Alliva.

Coming out day, presentato alla biblioteca di Roma il libro “Caccia all’OMO. Viaggio nel paese dell’omofobia” di Simone Alliva. In occasione del Coming Out Day, appuntamento mercoledì 11 ottobre alle 15,30 presso la Biblioteca "Elsa Morante" di Ostia per la presentazione del libro "Caccia all'OMO. Viaggio nel paese dell'omofobia" di Simone Alliva. Un evento realizzato grazie al progetto "LGBTQIA+ Mondo Plurale" della U.O. Diritti LGBT+ di Roma Capitale con il supporto delle Biblioteche di Roma. "La visibilità è l'arma più potente che la comunità lgbtqia+ ha agito nella sua storia di orgoglio e rivendicazione. Essere visibili vuol dire "esistere", far parte della storia, vivere luoghi e occupare spazi. Essere visibili vuol dire poter pretendere il riconoscimento di diritti e dignità. Fare coming out è per le persone lgbtqia+ un momento unico ma anche una scelta spesso complessa. Tra le tante le emozioni che si accavallano in quegli attimi c'è, infatti, non solo il senso di liberazione per poter finalmente condividere chi si è col mondo, ma anche la consapevolezza e la paura di poter non trovare accoglienza o comprensione, col rischio di perdere affetti e punti di riferimento. Una scelta accompagnata spesso da quel brivido lungo la schiena che non si dimentica facilmente e che spesso allontana il momento in cui si decide di raccontarsi. Come Roma Capitale continueremo a fare la nostra parte, per rendere la nostra città un luogo sempre più accogliente e di tutt* e in cui per ogni coming out ci siano sempre meno brividi lungo la schiena" commenta Marilena Grassadonia - Coordinatrice Diritti LGBT+ di Roma Capitale. Di tutto questo e di molto altro si parlerà mercoledì pomeriggio alla Biblioteca "Elsa Morante" di Ostia. https://www.bibliotechediroma.it/opac/news/caccia-allomo-di-simone-alliva/33433 Sarà presente l'autore Simone Alliva con cui si potrà dialogare sulle tante storie raccontate nel libro che confermano ancora una volta, come l'omolesbobitransfobia sia presente nel nostro Paese, sotto varie forme e oltre ogni latitudine. Interverranno Marilena Grassadonia - coordinatrice Diritti LGBT+ di Roma Capitale, Michela Cicculli - Presidente Commissione Pari Opportunità di Roma Capitale, Denise Lancia - Assessora Pari Opportunità Municipio Roma X, Silvia Fiorucci - Presidente Commissione Pari Opportunità Municipio X.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

CHIARA ALESSI: "TANTE CARE COSE" (LONGANESI)

Se sotto il titolo di "Also Sprach Zarathustra" di Friedrich Nietzsche c'è scritto "Un libro per tutti e per nessuno", sotto al libro di Chiara Alessi potrebbe esserci scritto "Un libro per tutti" nel senso più nobile. L'elegante volumetto edito da Longanesi e corredato dai sobri e delicati disegni di Paolo D'Altan, tratta di quotidianità e "devozioni domestiche", se mi è consentita la citazione brechtiana (penso di sì, visto che Brecht ormai lo cita anche Giorgia Meloni). Chiara Alessi potremmo chiamarla "divulgatrice del design" e non credo si offenderebbe.  Il libro tratta delle descrizioni tecniche, estetiche e sentimentali di 64 oggetti di design che hanno popolato e,  in molti casi, continuano a popolare le nostre vite. Non storcete il naso prima di leggerlo perché questo non è affatto "il solito" volumone sul design,  dove si tratta spesso di concetti astrusi o di eccentricità chic. "Tante Care Cose" è una cavalcata entusiasmante attraverso cose, scritte, confezioni, attrezzi che ci hanno permesso di rendere la vita quotidiana una faccenda anche intellettiva. Come ricorda Sartre nella citazione che ne fa l'autrice "possedere delle cose significa possedere un passato" e questo passato scorre amabilmente in queste belle pagine, a cominciare da quello più remoto per molti di noi, quando la Olivetti, con grande acume, utilizzava le donne per pubblicizzare le sue macchine da scrivere, uno dei tanti "prodotti" raccontati in questo libro. Si scoprono tante cose interessanti, almeno per chi ha sempre guardato al "reale" con un certo interesse, se non proprio come luogo del poetico. Chi sapeva che la lavatrice "Candy" deve il suo nome ai versi di una canzone di Nat King Cole? Le presero a prestito le Officine Meccaniche Eden Fumagalli e utilizzarono il termine "Candy" per il lancio in  grande stile nel 1959 della lavatrice creata da di Pietro Geranzani. Chi si è mai curato del fatto che Alfonso Bialetti inventò nel 1933 una macchinetta di cui nessuno di noi ha mai potuto fare  a meno? Era la Moka, trasformata poi dal figlio Renato, il famoso omino coi baffi era proprio lui, negli anni Cinquanta.Tante, tantissime storie affascinanti di oggetti immortali e anche di qualche architettura come quella inconfondibile dell'Autogrill, inventato dal novarese Mario Pavesi, figlio di un panettiere. Sì, c'è anche molta Novara e il suo territorio in questo libro di Chiara Alessi (e forse non poteva che essere così). C'è la storia della bottiglietta e del marchio Campari (bevanda che ebbe i natali a Novara), c'è il lago d'Orta con il suo "design District", prima che esistesse il "Fuorisalone", c'è Enzo Mari, "designer marxista" (celeberrimo il suo calendario perpetuo "Timor"), ma anche la mostra sul marchio "Rinascente" alla Triennale che vede tra i curatori Vittorio Gregotti e poi c'è  "Juicy Salif"(lo spremi agrumi a forma di ragno), del parigino-omegnese Philippe Starck. Ma fatta questa digressione celebrativa del genius-loci, occorre ricordare che l'affascinante  racconto-catalogo di Chiara,  tocca tantissimi ambiti della nostra "cultura del quotidiano". Leggendolo ci si rende conto di quale eredità  il design italiano abbia lasciato al patrimonio materiale del mondo. Mi piace ricordare il capitolo dedicato ad Elio Fiorucci, che inventò l'idea stessa di "concept-store" o l'esemplare lettering di Bob Noorda e la formidabile ed ineguagliato visual design della Metropolitana Milanese di Franco Albini e Franca Helg (poi assassinato dalla cultura "assessoriale" dei nostri miserabili giorni). Da queste pagine passano tutte le emozioni visive  (e anche qualche mito) della nostra esperienza quotidiana e Chiara Alessi si conferma essere un'eccezionale divulgatrice del verbo con l'utilizzo di una  scrittura vivace, ironica e "chiara" (come la sua autrice), con qualche punta di genialità creativa anche nei titoli: "Un Danese a Milano", con riferimento al celebre studio creativo milanese, "Algol Test" un dialogo immaginario che allude al nome del celeberrimo televisore Brionvega disegnato da Richard Sapper, "Una S che comincia per E" per raccontare la storia del logo "Esselunga". Da leggere subito o tra poco, libro destinato a non invecchiare, come gli oggetti di cui racconta.

I Went to “Rock ‘n’ Roll High”

This story, now expunged from the web, originally appeared on Night Flight in 2015. ********* “Pay five bucks and be in a movie starring the Ramones? Hell, yeah!” And so it was, 37 years ago this month, that I made my first appearance before the cameras, as an extra in the concert sequence in Allan Arkush’s Rock ‘n’ Roll High School.

At that point, I was laboring as the staff writer and publicist for Landmark Theatre Corporation, then a chain of repertory movie houses that included the Nuart, the Sherman, and the Rialto in the L.A. area. (Today it’s an art house chain owned by billionaire Mark Cuban.) In October of that year, I’d become the “rock critic” for the Los Angeles Reader, a new alternative weekly. I’d been a die-hard Ramones fan since the release of their first album in 1976; in fact, I had lost my job at the free-form Madison, Wisconsin, radio station I had worked for after playing their first album in its entirety on the air in the middle of the afternoon. I still hadn’t seen the band live, so I was understandably excited when a tantalizing flyer fell into my hands. It read, “BE IN A MOVIE! AND ATTEND AN EXCLUSIVE RAMONES CONCERT!” I jumped at the chance, called the phone number on the flyer, and reserved two $5 dollar tickets to attend an evening shoot at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. Why were the filmmakers charging a fin to make the scene? Well, first of all, they knew they could get away with it: The Ramones were punk pathfinders who commanded a large fan base in L.A. More importantly, the money would help defray the cost of a picture that was being filmed on a budget that could charitably be called infinitesimal. Rock ‘n’ Roll High School was the second solo project by director Arkush, the former lighting director of New York’s Fillmore East, who had labored for several years at B-movie titan Roger Corman’s New World Pictures. Arkush had convinced Corman to let him lens his rock ‘n’ roll comedy – a bargain-basement fusion of A Hard Day’s Night and The Girl Can’t Help It – but he had to make the picture on a three-week schedule for a cost of $180,000, virtually nothing for a professional feature. (Historical footnote: The original script for the film, conceived as Girl’s Gym, was written by my University of Wisconsin classmate Joe McBride, who had based his story on a student walkout at his father’s high school in Superior, Wisconsin, in the ‘20s. Joe went on to write authoritative books about Orson Welles, John Ford, and other directors and produced several documentaries about the movies.) On Dec. 14, 1978, I joined a couple hundred other suckers – uh, extras – at the Roxy at 5:30 p.m., for the second of two shoots for the picture that day. The earlier shoot, which had convened at the ungodly hour of 8:30 a.m., had been largely devoted to filming footage in the club’s cramped upstairs dressing room area and tight set-ups featuring the band and the picture’s stars. The Roxy was standing in for the fictitious “Rockatorium,” the exterior of which was actually the Mayan, an ancient, ornate theater in downtown L.A. In the picture, high school rocker and adoring Ramones fan Riff Randell (P.J. Soles of Halloween and Carrie) and her gal pal Kate Rambeau (debutante actress Dey Young) attend the Ramones concert against the express wishes of evil Vince Lombardi High principal Evelyn Togar (Mary Woronov, a former member of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, the dance troupe that had performed under Andy Warhol’s auspices with the Velvet Underground at their New York club gigs). The venue was crowded that night, and insanely hot, thanks to the movie lights that sent temperatures soaring inside the small venue. It was under these extreme circumstances that the “audience” of extras was introduced to the tedium of movie-making; we were directed to pogo up and down repeatedly as the Ramones ran through pre-recorded versions of the five songs – “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Lobotomy,” “California Sun,” “Pinhead,” and “She’s the One” – that would be heard in the movie’s climactic concert sequence. I stood about 20 feet from the stage, melting in my heavy leather bomber jacket, and surveyed the crowd. An actor costumed as an enormous white mouse stood a few feet to my left. The open cash-for-casting call had drawn a motley assemblage; the extras ranged from Valley girls in Fiorucci finery (not entirely unlike what Dey Young is wearing in the scene) to hardcore Hollywood punks. Standing directly in front of me, and visible in most of the shots taken from the stage, were the Germs’ lead singer Darby Crash and bassist Lorna Doom. You can’t miss Darby – he’s wearing a white jacket sporting a black Germs armband. (He would die from a suicidal heroin overdose just shy of two years to the day later.) It was a long night, protracted by multiple camera set-ups and inevitable retakes, but the crowd weathered it with good humor. After all, we were all gonna be in the movies! But the icing on the overheated cake came at the end of the shoot, sometime after 11 o’clock, when, after a brief pause, the Ramones returned to the stage, plugged in for real, and treated their fans to a loud, full-on, seven-song mini-set. (The action wasn’t filmed, but audio can be heard as an extra on Shout! Factory’s 2010 DVD re-release of the movie.) When I finally saw the finished film after it opened in April 1979, I was gratified to discover that I had not been consigned to the cutting room floor. If you look carefully – I mean, very, very carefully -- at the shots of the crowd taken from the stage, in the upper left-hand corner of the screen you’ll see a guy with shoulder-length hair and ugly glasses, clad in a bomber jacket, punching the air with his fist and chanting, “HEY! HO! LET’S GO!” That would be me. The film’s final scene, the destruction of Vince Lombardi High by its rebellious students, was still to be shot, and a week or two later some of us trekked down to Mt. Carmel High, an abandoned Catholic school in Watts, to visit the location. (This was probably on the eve of the Ramones’ Christmas show at the Whisky a Go Go, which I attended.) Temperatures in L.A. that week hit record-shattering lows, and so, after a couple of hours milling around freezing amid the chaos on the street, I split the scene before the building was blown up. But stories of that night rapidly circulated among L.A. punkdom: The technicians in charge of the pyro had underestimated the power of the charge, and when it was detonated it reduced a large part of the school to rubble, and also blew out dozens of windows in the neighborhood, terrifying the local residents. That’s show biz. It does look great on screen. Four years later, I had the opportunity to hang around the Wiltern Theatre location of Allan Arkush’s second rock movie, the ill-fated Get Crazy. (Allan had managed to survive the case of exhaustion that had put him in the hospital at the end of the Rock ‘n’ Roll High School shoot; the picture had been completed by Joe Dante, who had co-directed 1976’s movie spoof Hollywood Boulevard with him, and would go on to helm Gremlins). I interviewed Allan at home at that time; he is a charming guy and a complete music nut, and also the only person I know who has a light show installed in his living room. The Ramones likewise survived the Rock ‘n’ Roll High School shoot – they had already managed to live through making an album with Phil Spector, so they were game for anything. Sadly, only drummer Marc “Marky Ramone” Bell is still with us today. But the movie – as cheap, goofy, and frequently silly as it is -- lives on in TV, repertory, and film festival screenings as a testimony to the band’s energy, spirit, power, and bountiful sense of fun. I’m glad I had a chance to be a small part of it.
