FUCKING  YOUNG!: an inspirational platform and magazine focusing on youthful aesthetics from manly hemispheres.

WHITE: a contemporary international fashion showcase, but also a cultural reference for a generation of designers, stylists and artists.

Innovation, research, ferment. On the occasion of its FW edition, WHITE decides to make a pact of strategic alliance with FY! to share, diffuse and exalt the fundamental principles cited above: motivation and  common denominator for both.

We will attend the three-day fair from the inside. With the staff we will try to select all that items that embody the magazine and readers’ soul the most.

But before choosing the items, we need to choose the brands. We have divided them in sections, as the one in the fair. They are the names of the ones that, in our opinion, are able to tell a different story, the young dreamers’ one. An unconventional story, of reason and sentiment.. a fucking cool story.
