Die Dandys von #Brazzaville
Am Ufer des Kongo-Flusses in Brazzaville tragen einige Männer gut geschnittene Anzüge in leuchtend bunten Farben; ihre Füße stecken in edlen Markenschuhen. Die Hauptstadt der Republik Kongo ist der Ursprung einer aufsehenerregenden Bewegung, die sich „Sape“ nennt und für „Gesellschaft der Stimmungsmacher und eleganten Menschen“ steht. Neben der Liebe zu edlen Stoffen verkörpern die exzentrischen Dandys den Widerstand gegen Kolonialisierung, Krieg und Armut.

Ouverture of something that never ended
1. At Home
In this first episode of the seven-part #film collaboration between award-winning director Gus Van Sant (Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho, Elephant) and creative director Alessandro Michele, we follow main character Silvia through her eccentric morning routine at home in Rome, including a scene where she throws a #dress—from Alessandro Michele’s first Gucci women’s show Fall Winter 2015—off her balcony, to a song by Billie Eilish. Silvia is seen sifting through her post, which reveal colorful Gucci show invitations, as well as a mysterious flyer, and then she becomes lost in a television lecture performed by writer and philosopher Paul B #Preciado, until the arrival of an unexpected visitor, while a band in another room rehearses.

Coy Mathis, center, at home with her father, Jeremy, and her siblings Max, left, and Dakota. The three children are currently being home-schooled.
A buzz cut grew into long hair. Jeans gave way to pink dresses. And the child’s big cheeks trembled with tears when anyone referred to Coy as male.
