In questo speciale episodio del Gucci Podcast la giornalista Federica Salto intervista Benedetta Barzini. Accademica, giornalista e icona della moda anni Sessanta, Benedetta Barzini è apparsa in molteplici campagne pubblicitarie Gucci e Gucci Beauty tra cui la campagna Pre-Fall 2020 scattata da Bruce Gilden, la campagna Gucci Beauty per il lancio del rossetto Gucci Rouge De Beauté Brillant e la campagna Gucci Beauty Holiday Wishes. Attraverso le domande di Federica Salto, Benedetta Barzini ripercorre le tappe della sua vita, la cui essenza non è collocabile unicamente all'interno della definizione di top model ma, anzi, si declina in tante altre definizioni: femminista, attrice, madre, attivista, nonna. Le voci di due generazioni si confrontano sul tema delle immagini e del rapporto conflittuale che ci lega ad esse, esplorando come le norme sociali e i filtri culturali influenzino e determinino la rappresentazione femminile, spaziando su temi come creatività, lavoro e maternità. Federica Salto è una giornalista che si occupa di moda e con la sua newsletter “La moda, il sabato mattina” racconta le infinite sfaccettature del mondo del fashion.
