GRAZIE MILLE, ITALY
Falconeri’s new editorial project celebrates Italianness through the lens of Sam Youkilis
Falconeri presents ‘Grazie Mille, Italy’, an editorial project that pays tribute to the authentic beauty of our country through a series of shots taken by photographer and storyteller Sam Youkilis against the splendid backdrop of Rome. Italianness, made up of simple gestures, shared moments and understated elegance, becomes the focus of an intimate and honest visual narrative.
The title ‘Grazie Mille, Italy’ is a heartfelt thank you to Italy, an endless source of inspiration. It is a thank you for that everyday life made up of small moments – often taken for granted – that instead hold a deep and unique beauty.
Each image depicts everyday life in all its poetry: an outdoor lunch, a stroll at sunset, a kind gesture. Falconeri fits into this narrative naturally, by enhancing the versatility of its garments – soft, light and always elegant.
The featured collection includes the brand’s finest and lightest yarns: the silk-cotton blend, pure silk and summer fibres, interpreted with clean lines and natural fabrics, able to accompany all ages and occasions with understated sophistication.
From linen and cotton shirts and refined polo shirts – perfect for fashion-conscious men – to pure silk suits for ladies, all in the colours of the season to infuse each piece with a stylish, carefree spring mood.
To celebrate the arrival of the new season with a touch of refined elegance, Falconeri presents an exclusive capsule collection of pure silk scarves. A true tribute to the art of Italian craftsmanship, this collection—launching in May—features twenty-four original designs, each inspired by an Italian or international city, each one a guardian of history and visual identity waiting to be explored.
Each scarf is enhanced by an original, hand-drawn illustration that captures the soul of its respective city with delicate and captivating strokes. These unique and evocative graphics pay homage to the beauty of iconic landscapes and the cultural heritage of the cities, brought to life through vibrant color harmonies and sophisticated shades. Every creation tells a story—an emotional journey that captures the spirit of diverse places with extraordinary lightness.
Entirely crafted from fine silk, these accessories embody the perfect blend of Italian artisanal mastery and timeless elegance. Designed to be worn and collected, the scarves stand out for their versatility: perfect for elevating a casual outfit or adding a touch of class to a more sophisticated ensemble.
‘Grazie Mille, Italy’ is not simply a photographic project, but an invitation to rediscover the beauty of small moments, through the lens of elegance and simplicity.
