WYSIWYG (“What You See Is What You Get”) is the best-known acronym of the digital revolution and, in the history of interfaces, the biggest step forward towards the pervasiveness of the virtual. But what does that have to do with boots, bucket bags, socks and necklaces? Screens facilitate dialogue between people and machines and accessories mediate, restore and disguise our personalities and our day-to-day aesthetics: they are our windows on the world and become as real as we are. Just as forms of the contemporary visible are arranged along the creative paths of drag-and-drop and cut-and-paste, so bags and shoes, belts and jewellery are created through “immediacy and rapidity”, through solutions that drag concepts from one place to another.

Gli schermi facilitano il dialogo tra le persone e le macchine e gli accessori mediano, restituiscono, dissimulano le nostre personalità e le nostre estetiche quotidiane: sono le nostre finestre con il mondo e diventano reali come noi. E se le forme del visibile contemporaneo si dispongono lungo le traiettorie creative del drag-and-drop (trascina e rilascia) e del cut-and-paste (taglia e incolla), anche nella moda delle scarpe e delle borse, delle cinture e dei gioielli si crea attraverso “immediatezze e…
