Rest in peace, MaGia 2000
MadonnaTribe mourns the tragic loss of Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, who lost their life in a nonsensical car accident in Northern Italy today.
Mario and Gianni, who we’ve been lucky to have among our dearest friends, were longtime Madonna fans and fashion designers who created incredible pieces of art dressing OOAK Barbie dolls as MaGia 2000. A couple in life and in their job, they were also known by many other fans and all those who remember their cheeky interaction with Madonna during her interview on the Graham Norton show in 2012, when she received their custom made doll reproducing the attire she sported at the W.E. movie premiere in Venice.
Our thoughts and prayers go to their families, their friends, and those of two more friends of them who were also involved in the tragic accident.
We’ve never been able to think about Mario without thinking of Gianni over all these years, and again we won’t.
Rest in peace, MaGia 2000.
