NABA X CANALI

As part of the 90th-anniversary celebrations, we are proud to announce the collaboration with NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, harnessing the fresh perspectives and creative dynamism of young artists to honor and reinterpret the brand's storied heritage and forward-looking vision. This partnership has given rise to two distinctive artistic outputs, each crafted by different groups of NABA students, reflecting a rich tapestry of interdisciplinary creativity. Both projects not only showcase the unique talents and interpretative skills of NABA's students but also embody Canali’s commitment to embracing new technologies and perspectives while staying rooted in its heritage of craftsmanship and style.

Physical Artworks

The first part of this artistic endeavor is a series of sculptural installations inspired by themes of dwelling, temporality, and landscape. Students delved into the traditional dwellings of nomadic cultures and reimagined these concepts through the lens of Canali's identity, using Canali fabrics to construct a series of dismantlable and reassemblable sculptures. These sculptures act as vessels of visual memory, threading the past through the present and into the future, creating a narrative theater where abstract shadows, symbols, myths, and cinematic or literary references come to life.

"Canali Horizons: A Journey from Heritage to Tomorrow", a video co-created with AI

The second artistic contribution is "Canali Horizons: A Journey from Heritage to Tomorrow," a digital artwork that utilizes advanced AI technology to craft a video narrative celebrating Canali’s journey through time. Starting with a serene aerial view of Brianza and progressing through abstract representations of Canali's past, present, and future, the video encapsulates the brand’s evolution. The narrative transitions from monochrome representations of Canali's origins to vibrant depictions of its contemporary diversity and culminates with a visionary glimpse into a future where urban and natural environments harmoniously intertwine.
