THE UNRIVALLED

There is no doubt, Madonna is the queen of look, the only one who went trough 25 years of music with the awareness that she could choose the item or the colour that would become fashion the day after.

Leather has always been an old friend to her, weather it was black boots or a purple jacket.

MICHAEL JACKSON

Leather has been for the great star the link between many of his performances.

The red biker leather jacket in the video “Beat it” and “Thriller” (the best selling album in music history).

BONO VOX

“I want 40 of them for my next tour”.  On the other side of the phone is Bono Vox who has fallen in love with the leather jackets (accidentally noticed in two shops in London and Los Angeles). In 2005 he ordered the complete collection of a smaller designer from Carpi.

History of a passion

THE KING

Rock’n’roll bad boy, America’s clean face, a tragically lonesome fallen king.

In all his three incarnations Elvis Presley never abandons his leather jacket, black at the beginning, then white, finally strewn with studs, frills and sequins like a Christmas tree.

An indissoluble link.

THE DEMON

Gene Simmons Kiss’ bass player, rock longest tongue, embodies “the Demon” in the American band circus-shows.

Here the leather is twisted in a parody in between the middle Ages and Star Wars.

The only engine is the cult of excessive performance and mere amusement.
