Always way more than just a rag trade outfit, iconic Italian fashion house, Gucci, continues its multimedia ways with OUVERTURE Of Something That Never Ended, a web series spread across seven episodes which is screening now as part of GucciFest, an innovative digital fashion and film festival running until November 22. Shot in Rome and co-directed by Oscar nominated filmmaker Gus Van Sant (Milk, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho) and GucciFest creative director, Alessandro Michele, the seven-part film series stars the actress, artist and performer Silvia Calderoni in a surreal daily routine in the city, encountering a series of international talents including Paul B. Preciado, Achille Bonito Oliva, Billie Eilish, Darius Khonsary, Lu Han, Jeremy O. Harris, Ariana Papademetropoulos, Arlo Parks, Harry Styles, Sasha Waltz and Florence Welch. Together with the OUVERTURE Of Something That Never Ended series, the GucciFest will also be screening fashion films celebrating the works of fifteen independent young designers: Ahluwalia, Shanel Campbell, Stefan Cooke, Cormio, Charles De Vilmorin, JordanLuca, Mowalola, Yueqi Qi, Rave Review, Gui Rosa, Rui, Bianca Saunders, Collina Strada, Boramy Viguier, and Gareth Wrighton.
