These days we are preparing to celebrate our fathers, but what really remains of this celebration today? Beyond traditional gifts such as perfumes and ties, it is worth reflecting on the meaning of this figure who, while changing over time, continues to be fundamental in our lives. Today's father is no longer the absolute authority he once was. He is no longer someone who imposes rules without explanation. But this does not mean that his role has disappeared - it has simply evolved: in a fluid, rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, we see feminine qualities emerge as essential, while paternal ones are redefined.
What remains of the father in our time is his ability to unite rules and aspirations. Not an authority that suffocates, but a guide who knows when to say "no" and, above all, knows how to point the way towards constructive goals. A father should not pretend to have all the answers about the "perfect life" or the "formula for happiness" in a changing world like today's. Its strength lies precisely in recognizing its own limits and, despite this, in showing its own personal path. Without clear boundaries, authentic desires are lost. Today more than ever we need this guiding presence.
Fashion in this scenario does not limit itself to reflecting these changes, but actively contributes to this cultural evolution. Overcoming old models does not mean eliminating the paternal role, but reinventing it. Fashion can do this through a language that breaks down barriers: garments that go beyond traditional gender divisions allow us to imagine a more open paternity that is less tied to outdated stereotypes. Clothing without rigid labels becomes a symbol of a paternal role that is no longer a "friend" or boss" of one's children, but a presence that teaches us to recognize limits, that accepts generational comparison as an opportunity for growth, that demonstrates how duties and pleasures can be balanced.
At Regenesi, we believe that in an age obsessed with perfection, where children must be "impeccable" and every failure is hidden, fashion can tell a different story: that of imperfection as authenticity, of recovery as value, of uniqueness as beauty. It can show that even what seems "wrong", "broken" or discarded can be transformed into something new and precious. Just as a modern parent transforms rigid authority into a flexible but solid presence. A "timeless" and "genderless" fashion language represents the current challenge, to which we can combine the recovery of materials and craftsmanship. The limit becomes a creative resource, transformation a response to uncertainties, individuality a personal expression.
So, as we celebrate Father's Day, we can imagine that fashion itself - often accused of reinforcing stereotypes - can become a powerful tool to rethink and renew that paternal role that, paradoxically, we need even more precisely when it seems to be disappearing.
