This event marked a pivotal moment in Akutami’s career, as he carefully chose this iconic space after being captivated by its beauty during a previous fashion show in 2022. “If I were to host it for the first time, the place would be here,” the artist enthusiastically declared, emphasizing the special bond he has established with the French capital.

Akutami is not just a designer; he is a storyteller through his creations. His latest collection, inspired by the themes of “Ninja” and “Oiran,” reflects a contemporary interpretation of “cyberpunk” style, blending tradition and modernity.

The “Hannya” masks, symbols of protection and transformation, were used as accents, adding further depth to his garments. Although the works are not for sale, they can be made to order, allowing each customer to own a unique piece of his artistic vision.

Akutami’s career intertwines with Milan, where he participated in his fifth Milan Fashion Week. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that I was trained in Milan, thank you Milan!” the designer states, acknowledging the city’s importance in his professional and personal growth. However, his gaze is critical towards other fashion capitals: “NYFW felt dead,” he comments, highlighting the lack of authenticity and respect for American fashion culture.

A distinctive aspect of Akutami’s work is his commitment to diversity. The model audition, held two days before his show, saw the participation of over 300 candidates, from which 13 Japanese models were selected.

The selection process was grounded in a fundamental principle: “live happily,” with no limitations on height, weight, age, or experience. This focus on diversity is also reflected in his past work, where he debuted models in wheelchairs, curvy, and visually impaired, demonstrating that beauty knows no boundaries.

Akutami continues to write his chapter in the history of fashion, combining creativity, inclusivity, and a strong connection to his roots. To stay updated on his creations and for special orders, one can visit his official website or follow him on social media.

In a fashion world that often tends towards uniformity, Akutami stands out for his bold vision and his ability to celebrate diversity, making each of his collections a true hymn to beauty in all its forms.

Today we discuss this with Dr. Simona Nichetti, an expert in aesthetic medicine and antiaging therapy.

How can we counteract the natural aging of the face? How to implement 3D facial rejuvenation?

Global facial aging, Dr. Nichetti explains, involves the resorption of bone tissue and the slippage of fatty tissue to the more sloping areas due to the effect of gravity, as well as the loss of muscle tone, a thinning of the dermis, and a consequent thickening and alteration of the epidermis.

The senescence process also causes an alteration in the production/distribution of skin pigment (melanin) resulting in the appearance of skin spots.

What are the 3D remodeling strategies? And what are the various techniques used?

The evolution of aesthetic medicine, when faced with the issue of skin aging, has responded quickly by fielding techniques to counteract this problem.

Through the use of hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights, explains dr.ssa Nichetti, we will aim at restoring the volumes of the face through the use of “structured” hyaluronic acid injected deeply, this method will also allow us to counteract sagging, continuing with a medium concentration hyaluronic acid for filling wrinkles and depressions (nasogenic and marionette wrinkles, glabella) and finally with the use of “light “hyaluronic acid to correct small wrinkles (such as crow’s feet etc…).

The use of these products ensures results that are more natural and in harmony with the patient’s needs.

Another technique used is the biorevitalization which aims to “revive” the dermis resulting in increased hydration and firmness, while the use of peeling will be employed to stimulate epidermal renewal, erase blemishes and the “web” of superficial wrinkles due to photoaging.

The use of botulinum toxin will be used for correction of the upper third of the face, due to contractions of the muscles responsible for facial expression.

Regarding the over 40s, it is advisable to precede the three-dimensional facial treatment about 30 days earlier with a bioregeneration session with synthetic tissue growth factors with the aim of “awakening” the metabolic activity of fibroblasts (pivotal cells in the aging process).

This comprehensive approach will allow working on all planes so as to restore a refreshed, but not artifactual face following a physiological harmony of volumes and depressions, reinforced by regenerative medicine “strategies” to restore the physiological functions of the dermis, epidermis and muscle.

All this is done without invasive surgical procedures, while also ensuring rapid recovery times.

Even the primary ones, related to existence itself.

Think of Iran, but also Afghanistan, or Ukraine battered by the war unleashed by the Russian invasion: there are numerous contexts scattered across the planet in which the mere fact of being a woman can expose one to serious risks.

Among the works on display is an impressive tapestry made by young artist Sebastiano Furlotti, entitled For Whom the Bell Tolls.

To offer a large number of people the opportunity to view the works and contribute to the enhancement of an urban area of great historical importance, Claudia Conte decided to donate the entire exhibition to Roma Capitale, making the presence of the works at Santa Maria della Pietà permanent.

On Nov. 25 at 6 p.m., ahead of the official opening of Women for Justice, a panel discussion was held, live on Radio Radicale, at Binario F from Facebook, Meta’s digital skills hub. Claudia Conte herself moderated the speeches.
