Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future. - Camus

How to be Leonardo: Instructions by the Artist

Leonardo, Study of Hands, ca. 1474

One must have:

Curiosità: A thoroughly unquenchable curiosity to life as well as an steadfast pursuit for knowledge.

Dimostrazione: The willingness to learn from one‘s mistakes, gaining knowledge through new experiences and the willingness to undergo tests of perseverance.

Senzazione: The permanent heightening of the senses, vision most of all, which provides us with the access to experiences.

Sfumato: The willingness to let oneself in for multiple definitions, paradoxes and insecurity.

Arte / Scienza: The development of a balance between art and science, logic and imagination.

Corporalità: The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, health and excitement.

It’s that easy!

I am still fixated on NYC, maybe its because I had to miss London and Milan Fashion Weeks (Thanks flu), or maybe its just because NYC is the greatest city and yeah, I know I said that about Paris few years back, but let me put it this way, if Paris and NY were men, Paris would be more like the romantic guy that opens the door for you before you get into a car, you know, that guy who is so charming and perfect in every way, the safe bet, he almost seems too perfect… New York however, would be the guy that just comes and sweeps you off your feet, that guy who takes your breath away, literally…The one you meet and almost instantly fall in love with, the one who is very difficult to trust but even more difficult to forget, that is New York, so let me ask you something, who would you take, Paris or New York?”-Andy
