Called “Orama,” the Greek word for “view,” it honors the music events hosted against different mountaintop landscapes since 2022 via images, documents, flyers and invitations, among other memorabilia. The Woolrich store on Milan’s Corso Venezia will display some of the images to be found in the book, which drops in a limited run of 150 pieces on April 22. Wanderlust Vision was established in 2022 by music producer Tudor Laurini, art director Luca Ricci and Nicolas Barosi as an event platform, record label and creative agency fostering community building initiative at the intersection of music, culture and media.

The assembled group of listeners—which included Zawe Ashton, Poppy Delevingne, and Ella Richards, all decked out in head-to-toe Miu Miu—were captivated, and when it came time for the talk to end you could have heard a pin drop. (Until, that is, the room quickly erupted into applause.) Afterwards, guests chatted over canapés and spritzes in the charming book-lined lounge space, with many already beginning to thumb through their provided copies of Forbidden Notebook. It was a brilliantly executed new facet of Miu Miu’s tradition of championing women creatives—see their Women’s Tales film program as another example—and an unexpected highlight of Milan Design Week.

And let’s face it, no other city can quite stage a design fair like Millan where design and style, the pleasure in the art of living, are embedded into its very fabric. Here, among the brutalist buildings and crumbling palazzos, cobbled lanes and gorgeous green courtyards, is where tradition and modernity blend so effortlessly, and where a dedication to design excellence makes it one of the global leaders in the field. After bursting onto the Milan design scene in 2019 with their Transparency Matters collection, design duo Draga Obradovic and Aurel K. Basedow of Draga & Aurel will return this season with the new, ultra plush Parka sofa for Poltrona Frau.
