Autumn issue of The Quarterly

The autumn edition of The Quarterly is out now. The Quarterly is the expert's guide to good living, published with The Week and created by Show Media. This issue pays homage to enduring Italian style. In the face of political and economical instability la bella figura lives on, with Italians taking pride in appearance and grace regardless of circumstances.

Design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana embrace this, explaining how they have been inspired by the Neorealist films of Rosselini, Fellini and Visconti to create clothes designed to make wearers feel confident and sexy. Italiophile Stephen Bayley expertly defines Italians' innate sense of style, while Tod's founder Diego Della Valle tells us why he is paying for the renovation of the Colosseum and what 'Made in Italy' means to him.

Elsewhere Donatella Versace reimagines baroque, chef Georgio Locatelli talks passionately of his love of Sicily, we explore the little-known Esoterick Collection in London, which houses the finest Italian art collection outside of Italy, Gucci's creative director Frida Giannini gives her take on men's style and we feature all the latest autumn fashion, accessories, watches, gadgets, notables, quotables and curiosities.
