James Irvine: an Englishman in Milan – A tribute to the designer and to the relationship with Milan.

This project is a homage to the designer James Irvine who died suddenly and unexpectedly, in Milan in 2013

Curated by Maria Cristina Didero and Marco Sammicheli, the pieces on display were chosen from James’s studio and personal collections, precisely because they are tied to Milan, and able to tell that special relationship made of small habits, meetings and collaborations that Irvine had established with Milan.
