A DAY WITH SARA – SARA DAL MONTE

A day of light, beauty, and inspiration

Sara wakes up with the light sliding through the curtains. Her place feels warm and lived-in — books on the table, a print leaning against the wall, a plant just ready for water. Nothing too perfect, just right.

Breakfast is slow, almost a ritual. Fresh fruit, strong coffee, maybe something from the farmers’ market. She takes a moment to breathe and let the sound of the city roll in.

Her mornings are for creating. Blog notes on the table, a few drafts for Instagram, yesterday’s photos waiting to be picked through. The spots she loves — a corner café, a sunny street, a quiet alley — are never just scenery. They set the tone, almost like characters in her story.

By the afternoon, she’s out looking for inspiration. A gallery opening, a design pop-up, a talk where she runs into friends. Some days it’s a quick drive out of the city, a house she’s been wanting to see, or a trail that clears her mind. These moments refill her eye and her energy.

Nights are wide open. Sometimes it’s dinner with friends in a place where the lighting feels just right. Other times it’s staying in, curling up with a book and a record spinning low. In those quiet hours she chooses what to share — not to keep up, but to stay true.

Sara’s posts are always intentional. Light, texture, and color matter as much as what she’s wearing. On the blog she writes about homes, architecture, art, travel. Fashion is there too, but it’s part of a bigger search: meaning, beauty, connection.

She wants her work to make people pause. A feed that inspires, not just decorates. And an audience that sees the care behind every choice.

Of course, it isn’t effortless. There’s the constant push to post, to keep up. Holding on to her style while answering to the market — and to her own life — is a balancing act. Making time for herself, for road trips, for slow mornings, is how she stays whole.

At 35, Los Angeles feels like a canvas already drenched in light, waiting for her to add to it. Through her blog, her photos, her choices, she’s building something that feels entirely hers. She doesn’t chase trends — she bends them until they sound like her own voice. Each post feels like another brushstroke on that growing picture.

From the runways of Europe, a return to matter, warmth, and sensory memory.

One word defines this season: tactile. After years of digital aesthetics and almost virtual silhouettes, fashion returns to the body — to its weight, its desire, its need for touch. The garment is no longer projection, but skin, refuge, and experience.

Across Paris, Milan, London, and New York, the catwalks reveal an autumn wrapped in dense textures, sculptural pleats, ironic bows, and knitwear that becomes architecture. Protection returns as a theme, yet never denies desire.

The Greek drape — soft, intellectual, imperfect — becomes the new language of sensuality: dresses twist, knot, and fall like living statues. Ancient grace meets contemporary rhythm in a hymn to slowness and harmony. The fur trend, whether faux or sheepskin, brings tactility to the forefront. The modern woman no longer wears armor to face the world — she wears warmth, a soft barrier that allows her to remain sensitive without being fragile.

Black dominates once again, not as austerity but as movement — it flows, envelops, and seduces. Asymmetric drapes and liquid lines restore femininity as a spiritual presence. Then irony enters the scene: bows, plush toys, and childlike nostalgia. Fashion remembers innocence and reclaims it with adult awareness. Tenderness becomes avant-garde.

The female dandy returns with stiff collars, jabots, and romantic dual tones — a kind of wearable theater. Meanwhile, pocket-bags merge function and fantasy, turning practicality into design. The slip dress reclaims intimacy: lingerie becomes attire, the skin becomes statement. A quiet sensuality takes the stage.

And the sculptural knitwear closes the circle — garments woven like landscapes, filled with patience and the poetry of hands. This fall/winter doesn’t speak of trends but of presence — a fashion that listens instead of shouting, that seeks warmth over spectacle.

Because the true revolution now is remembering that to dress can still be a human, sensual, poetic act.
