About

Alessandro Masetti was born in 1987 in the heart of Tuscany, in the province of Florence, Italy.
Fashion expert and avid collector of mid-century modern decorative objects and contemporary art, he graduated in architecture with a thesis on the conceptual parallelism between the redevelopment of disused urban areas and the sartorial deconstruction of clothes experienced by the irreverent Belgian designer Martin Margiela.

He has been the Curator of the Art and Design collections of the Fondazione Giovanni Michelucci in Fiesole, Italy (2017-2022) and lecturer of courses in Fashion Communication, History of Architecture, Contemporary Architecture, and Social Media in several Study Abroad programs for international undergraduate students in Florence, Italy (2015-2022).

He has curated exhibitions, thematic displays, publications, and cultural initiatives on the work of architect Giovanni Michelucci and has been involved in projects to enhance the modern and contemporary architectural heritage in Tuscany.

He is currently enrolled as a Ph.D. student in the Museum Studies track at IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy.

Since 2010 he has been the author of TheFashionCommentator.com, sharing on the web unique articles dedicated to art, fashion, and design, thanks to which he became a contributor for several online magazines, including the encyclopedic project “Vogue Encyclo” of Vogue.it.

TheFashionCommentator.com mixes cultural heritage and fashion criticism in a virtual gallery where images investigate and reveal the inspirations of fashion designers and visual artists through iconographic comparisons.
