Presumably this is a French expression used in Italian: Un universo sempre à la page.

current
Explanation:
You did not state if your context is fashion or not. If it is, then most of the suggested answers precisely address that context. But being "current" is not necessarily about fashion. It can simply mean "on the cutting edge" in any sphere.

hip/trendy/trend-setters


Explanation:
styler (in British English)
woofie, woofy n American





(someone who is) stylish, in the know. The word is probably somehow related to the black slang concept of 'woofing' (itself derived either from the imitation of a dog's bark or from 'wolf') as behaving in a boastful or intimidating manner.

hip 3 adj.

(also hep)(hipper, hippest or hepper, heppest) sl.
1 following the latest fashion in esp. jazz or popular music, clothes, etc.; stylish, fashionable.
2 (often foll. by to) understanding, aware.
Compound
hip-cat a hip person.
Derivative
hipness n.[20th c.: orig. unkn.]

Could the phrase perhaps involve a typo? That is, "rage" instead of "page"...that would be an interesting bilingual pun!
