FIRST BIOGRAPHY by Martino Midali and Cinzia Alibrandi "THE FABRIC OF MY LIFE, A WEAVE OF WARP AND WEFT".

For the first time ever, Martino Midali tells his life story in this biography by Cinzia Alibrandi, unveiling his roots and first steps in fashion. As a way of getting even closer to his beloved Women, those who have always inspired him. Born in 1952 in the town of Mignete (Lodi), he moved to Milan at a very young age, where he began his rise in the fashion world, becoming a leading designer on the national and international panorama, aiming to enhance the female body, in all its forms.

"Pleased to meet you, my name is Maria and I have been dressing Martino Midali for 20 years. I didn't know what he looked like and I'm happy to meet him today. My compliments! I assume that this irregular harmony of your clothes also belongs to your life. I would love to read about you in a book: I think you should write your biography...".

These words from an affectionate customer gave Martino Midali the urge to write his story. The story of a true self-made man, born out of a simple family in a small village in the province of Lodi, who is turned into a spirit that instinctively thrives on beauty and elegance.

Each chapter represents a step on the ladder of success: the first steps in the world of fashion, the decision to move to Milan, a city projected into the future, the great intuition on the innovative use of jersey, the first own sales, the opening of a showroom, the great American buyers such as Henri Bendel and the opening of two retails in New York frequented by many stars, the triumph of the 1980s where "dressing Midali" was equivalent to being part of a whole new way of feeling like a woman.

A journey on the thread of memories, guided by writer Cinzia Alibrandi, to discover a fashion wanderer always on the move, with a gipsy soul that has never been quenched, who combines the strength of his homeland with the delicacy enclosed in the folds of his distinctive creations.
