18.06.2019
Resounding guests Expected for Friday the arrival of the former US president and wife. The "king of cashmere" Cucinelli: "An important sign and a tribute to beauty".
The news that Barack and Michelle Obama will be guests of the Clooney has also caused a sensation on the Milanese catwalks, where since yesterday the men's fashion for spring-summer 2020 is the protagonist.
Brunello Cucinelli, in the Lombard metropolis to present the new collection, comments: "The arrival of characters of the Obama caliber is a very important sign for the territory, a tribute to its value and its beauty". The king of cashmere, as he is now known in the world, is a great admirer of the first black president of the United States.
«He has always struck me not only for his vision of the world, but also for his way of communicating. With that education, that kindness, that grace that our culture seems to have lost and that I would also like to find again in everyday life ".
Cucinelli confesses that he keeps portions of Obama's speeches alongside the books of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Not only. «In my collection of busts of Roman and Greek philosophers there is also that of Barack in white Carrara marble. I had him do it just because I also consider him a myth ». The designer adds another reflection. "I think it is no coincidence that he chose Lake Como for his holidays: it is a place that predisposes to thinking, which makes you feel in harmony with yourself".
Undoubtedly the former tenant of the White House will want to take a holiday break at Villa Oleandra, where the staff of the security staff has settled. Already in recent days, a certain coming and going of plain-clothes agents had been noticed. Moreover, the visit of the Obama is in all respects comparable to that of a head of state. In addition to him and Michelle, the two daughters, Sasha and Malia, are also to be protected from the onslaught of reporters, photographers and onlookers. It is easy to imagine that the reception of the very important family has been taken care of in every detail by the villa's staff, before the super control of George and Amal. The two will have just enough time to unpack before receiving the Obama, arriving next Friday with a private flight at one of the two Milan airports.
