Hotel Slippers from DUST ISSUE 21 FALL WINTER 2022. (I) It all started with collecting hotel slippers over the years. It could have been a combination of kleptomania, hoarding and maybe somewhat of a fetish. Or, perhaps it was just a way to bring back souvenirs from all those familiar press days, fashion week events, and work trips. Then, Covid struck. Everything changed, and the pile of slippers, carelessly stacked at the bottom of the closet, suddenly took on a whole new meaning. While the reality of our lives was mostly confined to our apartments, these accessories, acquired from anonymous hotel rooms, appeared indicative of a more general condition. This is when Luca Guarini, and Kito Muñoz, envisioned a fashion series revolving around hotel slippers, intimate spaces, and 'non-places'...
