BARBARA PALVIN SO PRETTY

15 December 201631 December 2016Posted in Beauty, FashionLeave a comment

Wherever Barbara Palvin goes, there’s a little dust storm of controversy. Back when she was a 19-year-old Victoria’s Secret model, Selena Gomez fans blamed her for the singer’s breakup with Justin Bieber after Palvin was spotted with him at a Broadway show. Palvin has since been linked to One Direction’s Niall Horan; she’s been seen partying with Ed Sheeran; and, since the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, she’s been rumored to be dating Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton.

On the day I chatted with Palvin, who is at home in the countryside outside of Budapest, she laughed at her reputation as a man-eater—though the laughter was undercut by a clear note of annoyance. Days earlier, a British tabloid posted a picture of her sitting on a man’s lap at an event for the Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi. “That’s not Lewis Hamilton! Barbara Palvin gets cozy with mystery man,” the headline gasped.

“Normally, I don’t let it get to me,” she tells me. The “mystery man” was, in fact, her Italian agent, a dear friend. “I actually hang out with a lot of guys, and whenever I hang out with a famous guy, I’m instantly dating them. So I just laugh it off.” This time, though, Palvin said the comments crossed the line. “It was: ‘Of course she’s hitting on that guy. He’s probably old and rich.’ Oh bravo, Daily Mail !”

No, Palvin doesn’t need to date rich men to belong to the jet set. “It drives me a little crazy that people would think that.”

GUCCI JORDAAN METALLIC LOAFER

18 August 201623 August 2016Posted in FashionLeave a comment

Newest shiny addition…while these new flats are a bit flashier than what I might typically wear, I love the mixed metal element of combining silver and gold, something I do a lot day to day with jewelry and accessories. They are also an ultra iconic silhouette so even though they might have more flair they are still considered a classic piece. Best of both worlds!

FASHION TREND REPORT: PALM PRINTS

26 June 201626 June 2016Posted in Fashion, My WorldLeave a comment

Designers took a cue from nature this season by incorporating breezy palm-tree prints into their collections.

If you’re feeling a little pained watching the summer fly by from your office window, might we suggest a little sartorial salve by way of cheerful palm-tree prints from the Spring 2014 runway shows? More Designers sent models walking down the runway decked out in this tropical motif.

We love palm-tree prints because they transport us to the summer sands and warm breezes of vacations past. Plus, they make dressing fun and playful. Palm-tree prints are also the perfect alternative for women who find traditional florals to be too feminine.
These tropical prints have also hit our favorite stores. Check out a few of the pieces on our wish lists below and scoop up one or two for yourself.

GALA EVENT ORGANISED BY LUISA VIA ROMA ON THE OCCASION OF HER FIRENZE4EVER, AN EVENT “ON WATER”

Pitti90 is approaching. Let’s take a look at the news of the Kermesse of Fortezza da Basso, trying to make predictions based on rumors and indiscretions of traders, exhibitors and journalists.

Speculating on the outcome of Pitti may be taken for granted, considering the increasing success, but there are variables difficult to estimate. The agenda rich of events, the selection of historical brands, and the attention paid to the emerging names and the electric and international atmosphere that makes Florence the most interesting centre of gravity of style and trends worldwide, if you follow the communications about this event, either as private or as professional operator, you will be able to understand a lot about its importance.

News, innovation, inspiration and more are expected from Pitti Immagine Uomo 90, a restless boiling magma from which many people take a cue. The precious experimentation of materials and fabrics is food for thought for designers’ new models and collections, as well as a throwback to the pure tailoring and an enhancement of our Made in Italy in its classic aspects, connotations of a style which always distinguishes the character of our Country.

A zoom on the best of “Fashion and Italian Design” (that highlights Italian new and young talents’ work) is realized in association with foreigner influences. Made in Italy and internationalization seem to be the trend.

We all know that Italian Fashion was born in Florence, but today, how can Florence exceed the dominance of Milan?

The Florentine Fashion Week, with Pitti Uomo, not only resists but it is strongly proactive, thanks to a fair hosting the best of men’s fashion offer of the world, that has several research brands and very high quality, and thanks also to a program of events, exhibitions, parades from emerging talents, successful designers and contemporary artists. This encourages the best fashion buyers of the world to come to Florence to observe new Season trends, to buy highly selected collections and to join events in one of the most beautiful and characteristic cities in the world. So it is the clever mix of high quality ingredients that builds up the Florentine successful recipe. Furthermore, the extraordinary architectural and aesthetic quality of the fairgrounds and the city is the reason why almost all the international buyers don’t miss it.

This exposition leads the world to Florence, that take advantage of a highly qualified and excellent quality business tourism flow that would be otherwise difficult to detect, and on this target, the city can improve the quality of the accommodation facilities and cultural opportunities. But not only. Italy is one of the most beloved destinations for tourists and its historic and architectural structure makes it a unique site to stage also the productive sectors, such as fashion. Therefore we hope for a continuous and strategic investment to attract the best traders and trend setters of the world in Florence.

LUISAVIAROMA

builds a bridge to the future on the Arno River.

The Bridge of Love is a conceptual installation conceived and designed by architect Claudio Nardi that symbolizes the will to provide hope to people in difficult situations. The project aims to raise public awareness for the refugee crisis and is a part of the World Refugee Day 2016 celebration event program.

Bianca Balti, guest at the charity gala dinner to inaugurate The Bridge of Love on June 13. Starting June 14, the outfit worn by the supermodel during the dinner will be available for purchase at LUISAVIAROMA.COM.

All proceeds from the gala dinner and sale of the outfit will be donated to The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). In particular, the ‘Lifeline Jordan’ project that provides direct economic assistance for families of Syrian refugees who have found asylum in Jordan.*

*Since the beginning of the war in Syria until now, 4.8 million people have left the country. Among those, more than 630,000 have sought refuge in Jordan. Through ‘Lifeline Jordan’, UNCHR sustains roughly 135,000 people, half of which are children, by providing each family with basic needs such as housing, food, medical care and education thanks to a contribution of approximately 1,500 euro a year. The availability of a minimum monthly income allows families to survive without spiraling into extreme poverty which could push them to consider risky decisions, such as crossing the Mediterranean.

BLACK SHOES

6 June 2016Posted in Fashion, My WorldLeave a comment

I’m not done covering Sydney fashion at least for this week (no worries, Milan Men’s and Couture Paris coming up soon).

With all the monochromatic looks one detail I noticed this time again, the shoes ! I haven’t seen that many black heels at once, especially the most simple version, an elegant heeled sandal with a simple strap that Gianvito Rossi and Givenchy seem to do best.

I love this type of simple heel, it will go with everything. The problem at least for me, my feet don’t look great in them, I’m yet to find the right strap placement for my toes, does this make sense ?

Here we go with many many shoes from Sydney’s fashion week, all in black, heels and flats.

Pitti Uomo 90 Just Arrived

29 May 2016Posted in Fashion, World EventsLeave a comment

Fortezza da Basso, Palazzo Pitti 14-17 June 2016, Florence

Lifestyle and fashion make for obvious bedfellows, more elegantly worded by the late Gianni Versace, one of my favorite Italian designers, who said “Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live”. Walking in Florence, since choosing to relocate here in February, I couldn’t have a better introduction to Italian culture and the sartorial trends which have influenced men’s fashion throughout the world; than the twice-yearly, Pitti Uomo trade event which presents “…clothing and accessory collections and launching new project’s in men’s fashion.”

The exhibition, under the auspices of its corporate parent, Pitti Immagine, has provided a “Global showcase and a unifier for the national industry” since 1972, including many of today’s international fashion industry scions: Armani, Ricci, Valentino and Versace who have set the bar high for forthcoming designers. In 2016, hosting as many exhibitors and rigorously selected designers as there are statues in our museums, the Fortezza da Basso presents Hiroki Nakamura working his street apparel and cult footwear, Fausto Puglisi staging his luxurious designs using tradition fabrics, Raf Simons showing his contemporary S/S 2017 collection toGosha Rubchinskiy – this year’s guest menswear designer – showcasing his social commentary collection through media visuals, and Lucio Vanotti, the 2012 ‘Who is on Next?’ finalist known for his elegant unisex style. Concurrently, at the Palazzo Pitti, Visions of Fashion, a photographic exhibition by the iconic Karl Lagerfeld, opens to the public from 15^th June inaugurating a three-year programme dedicated to the culture of contemporary fashion. This historic location more famously knows as the former residence of the Medici family, whose wealth and influence originally derived from the textile trade, offers a fitting location indeed to “promote the fashion industry as the aesthetic expression and global evolution of taste.”

GUCCI LEADERS MUSE ON FASHION SHOWS IMMEDIACY

2 May 2016Posted in FashionLeave a comment

NOW AND THEN: Gucci may be shaking up the fashion system with coed shows, but its chief executive Marco Bizzarri and creative director Alessandro Michele are dead set against see-now-buy-now.

The two men muse on multiple industry shifts in a 13,000-word article penned by Jonathan Wingfield — and illustrated with 50 pages of photos by Juergen Teller — in the next issue of System Magazine.

“Has anyone actually asked the customer if they want to have something available directly after the show? You hear that three bags are going to be released tomorrow in five shops, so you produce 15 bags. How many customers are you going to satisfy with that? Fifteen!” Bizzarri tells the biannual title. “Moving forward, if you want to stay away from fast fashion, I think personally we need to go in a completely opposite direction with what is being talked about.”

The executive and Michele are united about the importance of fashion shows — to a point.

“From a branding standpoint, the show represents only a fraction of our business, and the impact you actually have on the consumer is super, super tiny. I mean, what about the pre-collection?” Bizzarri says. “That is just as important as the show. So let us use the show to tell a story, and then if we need to do something to be closer to the consumer, let’s make sure that the shops today are no longer these mausoleums where you are afraid to enter.”

Adds Michele: “I love fashion shows: they’re the moment when you can give soul to the clothes. Otherwise, it is just a skirt. Fashion is about the dream and without the dream fashion doesn’t exist anymore. So I believe more and more in the fashion show, and I think that fashion needs to be more fashionable than ever before.”

The issue makes its debut Tuesday at Dover Street Market and Colette before rolling out to newsstands on May 9.

THE BEST BOOTIES FOR FALL 2016

26 April 201626 April 2016Posted in Fashion, My WorldLeave a comment

Footwear designers may or may not have been thinking of Destiny’s Child singing “Bootylicious” when creating their fall lineups. But they certainly had booties on the brain. The collections were awash with ankle-high or lower calf-hitting creations, and their incarnations were many. Balmain did a regal, black and gold military style that featured a nine-strap closure over a gilded inset. Roger Vivier’s purple suede version sported cheerful pink, green and blue laces.Francesco Russo showed more detail than normal with a sexy open-toe and open-braided black number that had a hint of dominatrix.

HOW IT IS BORN AND DEVELOPS AN ARTISTIC CREATION TO WEAR

11 April 201611 April 2016Posted in FashionLeave a comment

LA COUVERTURE

When you create something that elicits emotion: this is the moment in which art comes to life and transports us to another dimension, that of ecstasy. That subtle transfer from the concept to the work accomplished is perceptible not only by its creator, but also from a more informed public, which captures the uniqueness of that creation, drawing a benefit unforgettable emotional.

Each artist then acts according to a personal style, and it is the different way of feeling and shaping the art that distinguishes a work from the other, carrying within him the autograph and unmistakable mark of its maker.

At this point the obligatory question is: fashion is also an art form? Yes, when the artist transforms his work in pure creative essence, through detachment from the consumer system, the conventions, the production series and the strictly commercial needs.

Always it inspired by art and fashion from the past, blending in with the trends of cultural movements: experimentation unabated is the essential characteristic which gives life to the creations that combine ancient forms in materials and innovative models and especially outside the box .

Therein lies the great innovative value of LA COUVERTURE http://www.lacouverture.it/
