Simone Guidarelli wins the Chi è Chi Awards Fashion & Taste for his tableware collection

Simone Guidarelli received the Chi è Chi Awards Fashion & Taste, the universal creativity award that Chi è Chi assigns together with La Cucina Italiana to personalities from the world of food, fashion, industry, and entertainment who stand out for having created a link between food and aesthetics.

This year's theme was "Italianness," understood as a fusion of style, taste, savoir-faire, and passion, values that continue to make Made in Italy unique in the world. This was the common thread that guided the entire evening, transforming the event into a celebration of Italian creative excellence.

The award is for creating a new concept of art de la table with his brilliant flair and visionary creativity, bringing fashion to tableware through two porcelain services created with Weissestal, Souvenirs de Voyage and Exotic Jungle.

Simone Guidarelli has been able to transform his creative vision, born in fashion, into a universal language that also embraces the table and the home. His art de la table collections tell of a new way of experiencing design and hospitality, an aesthetic that combines elegance, irony, and sentiment.

The Chi è Chi Awards were conceived by Cristiana Schieppati and are the longest-running awards in the fashion and communication sector in Italy, recognizing personalities who interpret the languages of our time with vision, talent, and authenticity. With the Fashion & Taste section, the award strengthens the dialogue between fashion and gastronomy, between aesthetics and the culture of taste, recounting the virtuous influences that define the new contemporary lifestyle.

The award ceremony took place on the evening of November 3 at the Spazio Fontana at the Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione.

The event, now in its eighth edition, was organized in collaboration with Maddalena Fossati, editor-in-chief of La Cucina Italiana, the monthly magazine dedicated to Italian gastronomy since 1929.

We sincerely thank Simone for having created, together with the Weissestal team, two collections that speak directly to the soul and tell stories capable of evoking emotion.

In his words: "In a project, you never win alone. Every achievement is the result of an extraordinary team and all those people who, every day, with quiet dedication, contribute to this success: 'the invisible ones', that is, all those people without whom nothing could become reality."

We thank Cristiana Schieppati and Maddalena Fossati for their passion and commitment.

The Chi è Chi Awards Fashion & Taste 2025 were organized in collaboration with Rosa Grand Milano and with the support of official partners Agromonte, Bibogem, Leone 1857, and Pasticceria Angela Milano, all of whom share the values of quality, authenticity, and beauty that characterize the award.
