A creative collaboration between fashion journalist Gianluca Cantaro and American artist and writer Patrick Carroll.
Consinee Group presents In Dark Woods, a new creative project curated by Italian fashion journalist Gianluca Cantaro in collaboration with American artist and writer Patrick Carroll.
An original dialogue between medieval Florence and imperial China, the project creates an intellectual bridge between Dante’s literary legacy and Chinese literature, intertwining their references with the symbolism of the I Ching. It explores how cultures that may seem worlds apart can come together to inspire new perspectives and visions.
This research takes shape in a capsule collection conceived by Carroll as expressive manifestos, where words and phrases evoking past and present become tools for interpreting our time. At its core is cashmere, as a material for research and experimentation, giving rise to a creative language that transcends the boundaries between art, culture and design.
At Pitti Uomo 111, In Dark Woods will be on view at the Cavedio of the Central Pavilion from 12 to 15 January 2027.
