Maybe Alessandro Mendini was jealous of the success from „Anna G.“, that he decided to delight us with his figure “Alessandro M.”. As it is doubtlessly easily recognisable, this corkscrew is the self-portrait of the designer. Also if it looks easy, it was anything but that to originate a new character that could both fit in the autobiographic happenings of the designer and in the international designer sceneries.

Alessandro (the designer) designed the project and gave his creation a clear, different and complementary identity at the same time comparing to his from now on renowned companion (Anna G.). “Alessandro M.” is not least also a product that has to offer various novelties: besides the standard version that is available in two different colours, there are also ranges of Haute-couture seasons collections. This is a form of tailor-made dresses, of collections that go with the today’s fashion and that are manufactured in limited editions – determined to be collected and following the seasonal fashion rhythm.
