Lei e le altre, women’s magazine retrospective in Milan
"Lei e le altre". "She and the others". We are not talking about the latest Italian dramatic film. Today's story is about magazines and women. "Lei" (the Italian for "She"), was one of the first Italian women's magazine published by Rizzoli in the early 30s, and “le altre” (the others) are all the publications that has been seen around during the last century - and that are composing a special exhibition launched a few days ago here in Milan.

The art world is wide and varied. Here are Swide’s picks of must-sees in June: London, New York, Paris, Milan or Berlin?
It's here again: the gastronomic event of the year, Italy welcomes 12 Milanese restaurant kitchens all clustered on the Milan racecourse the Ippodromo, and much more... Swide tells you what you are going to experience at Taste of Milano.
Having played in London, Marseilles and now at Milan’s San Siro, AC Milan’s versatile midfielder Mathieu Flamini has adapted to each team and to the culture of three different leagues and countries. Educated, adaptable and erudite, Mathieu is a hard-tackling midfielder who can turn on the pace going forward and has a powerful right boot.
This time on "Tea's Talents" film producer Luca Legnani and director Francesco Calabrese share chinese food with Tea while discussing ghost stories, artistic wisdom and plans to restore Lindsay Lohan's career.
The Dolce&Gabbana Matt Silk Collection enjoyed VIP treatment when Swide, in collaboration with Italian video maker Luca Finotti wrote the story and shot a pretty special video with Bianca Balti.
The Matt Silk Collection for SS12 is cool, pretty and perfectly in tune with this season’s main trend: Fifties. Luca Finotti, an up and coming Italian director was charged with creating a video to contextualize the inspiration behind the glasses. Drawing from by the classic Italian Fifties comedies, the video tells a story of ironic jealousy between mother and daughter. Think classic car, Bianca Balti, vintage music, Italian scenery. The story for the video was created by Swide, styled by Yuri Ahn and directed by Luca Finotti. A Fifties day out for a contemporary woman.
At the heart of Germany with Berlin and Hamburg, Munich has a lot to offer. Museums, monuments, shops, restaurants and clubs: Swide picks the spots not to miss.
St. Vincent featured on Swide after the release of her second LP in 2009. During the Italian leg of her tour, Swide's Ben Taylor caught up with her to discuss image, her feminine side, identity and… oh, drinking Champagne on the set of Gossip Girl…
