Massimo Giorgetti took over Fondazione ICA for his fall outing, turning the space into a kind of art-meets-fashion playground. The backdrop came courtesy of Brazilian artist Marina Rheingantz, whose abstract, memory-soaked paintings—think a more emotional little cousin of Jackson Pollock—clearly hit Giorgetti right in the mood board.

His ties to the art world are long-standing, and you can tell. Giorgetti has an unpretentious knack for weaving references into his work without ever sounding like he’s quoting from the art-gallery-wall text. Nothing feels didactic; it’s art appreciation with respect. The plot thickened during a Venice weekend, where an exhibition devoted to Leonor Fini at Tommaso Calabro Gallery was obsessively all about cats. Naturally, Giorgetti ran with it.

Enter MSGM’s feline era: A Bengal prowled across an eco-fur maxi-coat, and a duchesse satin shirt featured a black and white kitty that landed rather spooky. Cats may be the label’s unofficial mascots, yet they share the designer’s affections with equanimity alongside his two adorable terriers, Pane and Coda.

The collection played out like a game of memory, though Giorgetti would gently swat your hand away from calling it revisited archive. His preferred framing was “new memories” and “revisited memories,” which actually sounds lighter, fresher, and decidedly less mothball adjacent. Running through it all was a flirtation between masculine and feminine codes, a familiar circle game at MSGM. Even the soundtrack leaned in: A recorded interview with Fini floated from speakers, in which she observed that everyone should be a little androgynous and that true style lives somewhere in the overlap.
