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.

Nel mondo di Gucci Beauty, Thomas de Kluyver è un protagonista. Il celebre truccatore deve alla musica dei rave party - oltre che al suo talento - il successo che l'ha portato a diventare global make-up artist di Gucci. Il creativo ha iniziato infatti a truccare i suoi amici per i rave a Perth, in Australia, dove è cresciuto, e poi a Londra. La sua carriera di make-up artist è iniziata quasi per caso, ma non è stata per nulla casuale la chiamata di Alessandro Michele che l'ha voluto come global make-up artist di Gucci, ruolo per il quale ha firmato anche il make-up dell'ultima sfilata Gucci Uomo durante la settimana della moda di Milano. Intervista di Susanna Macchia pubblicata su Beauty in Vogue, Novembre 2019. A cura di Elisa Pervinca Bellini.
