Collaboration with Livemilano



A few days ago I wrote my first article for magazine online, Livemilano. If you click on www.livemilano.it can find my profile and read in the editorial "Hogan by Karl Lagerfeld: Second Editon", written by me. I am very excited to participate in this project. 
Livemilano is also broadcast on regional channels (which currently can not tell you with certainty) with the "LIVE IN STYLE". For now, the blog and online magazine I take enough time ... but I do not exclude the possibility of being part of the program Live in Style. :-)


Pochi giorni fa ho scritto il mio primo articolo per una rivista online, Livemilano. Se cliccate su www.livemilano.it potrete trovare il mio profilo nella parte redazionale e leggere "Hogan by Karl Lagerfeld: second editon", scritto da me personalmente. Sono molto entusiasta di partecipare a questo progetto.
Livemilano è in onda anche su canali regionali (che al momento non vi so dire con precisione) con il programma "LIVE IN STYLE". Per ora, il blog e la rivista online mi occupano abbastanza tempo...ma non escludo la possibilita di far parte anche del programma Live in Style. :-)

New collection by RL: Denim & Supply


It 'a new collection designed for young people. A much more fashionable country, made up of oversized t-shirt, khaki pants, suede vest with fringe. Checked shirt paired with ripped jeans, leather belts and scarves. All this, which I defined, very "wild". A comfortable way of dressing, free ... 
Even some dresses remind us of a fashion somewhat hippy. 
One low cost fashionable to embrace a larger audience. Available at www.ralphlauren.com but also in multibrand stores or RL stores.


E' la nuova collezione pensata per i giovani.

FASHION & ART

Keith Haring. We are in the 80s, when contemporary art is totally revolutionized by his graffiti. His art, street art, is remembered even today in the fashion world. 
Zara is the first to create an homage to this genius with a limited edition t-shirt for man. Nicholas Kirkwood, as well as designer shoes, pays homage to the artist creating decolletèe, sandals open-toe and boots.

Keith Haring. Siamo negli anni '80, quando l'arte contemporanea viene totalmente rivoluzionata dai suoi graffiti. La sua arte, definita appunto arte di strada è ricordata ancora oggi nel mondo della moda.

next winter: EMU or UGG?


I have only worn UGG. But I am able to speak well enough documented for Emu, advise and show you some of my favorite models. 
Both protect your feet from cold and snow. Guaranteed! Do not bother to bathe or swim in the snow .... because it is completely resistant to water, despite the suede lining. 
Do not know the limits of style ... I'm worn at any occasion and any abbianate clothing (a dress, a pair of ripped jeans, a cardigan, oversize). Anyone don't like
the model of this boot, as very simple and maybe a little '"ugly". Not surprisingly, the brand UGG comes from the word UGLY. The idea, of who created it, was not purely aesthetic but pure utility and comfort. Aimed at an audience sensitive to the cold, he did not know how to combat cold feet during the winter. The idea was successful and now, indeed, for many years, wearing ugg or EMU is very cool.


Sarei di parte se non vi dicessi che ho indossato solo UGG. Ma sono abbastanza documentata per potervi parlare anche di Emu, consigliarvi e mostrarvi alcuni modelli tra i miei preferiti.
Entrambe proteggono i vostri piedini dal freddo e dalla neve. Garantito! Non preoccupatevi di bagnarle o tuffarvi completamente nella neve....perchè resistono all'acqua, nonostante il rivestimento in camoscio.

LV & ANGELINA JOLIE: an aid for Cambogia


It's called "Core Values", the campaign starring Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton. 
The protagonist is shown in her simplicity. Cambogia is the background. A place fantastic, dramatic and moving. Behind the campaign is the deep love for this country of Angelina and her people. His continued help and support, especially for children who, until recently, were victims of landmines. 
"I was in Cambogia about 10 years ago, for the first time. I had to make a film." She says. "They told me to stand on one side of the river, because the other was dangerous, as strewn with landmines. The idea that children running and playing, they could land on unconsciously, opened my eyes." 
Since then Angelina Jolie is actively working with this population. She tells, through beautiful clips, how her life has changed, and helping people She rediscover the beauty of a smile and being together. 
I love it when fashion and charity to embrace a more than noble purposes.

 Si chiama "Core Values" la campagna pubblicitaria interpretata da Angelina Jolie per Louis Vuitton.
La protagonista si mostra nella sua più totale semplicità. Fa da sfondo la Cambogia.

knee high socks

I watch this socks from years and I wear it sooner or later ... certainly not now, but this autumn. 
I saw for the first time in 2009, by Miu Miu on Via della Spiga. They were wool, with glitter and sequins applied. Delicious. Undecided in the purchase, I left that store and then regret it bitterly. 
Today I see in every catwalk and the streets of Milan, worn by fashion victims. I seem to be a great alternative to tights and at the same time a great way to protect themselves from the cold. 
How about the "Stars and Stripes", worn over shorts, jeans and Converse?



Sono anni che le osservo e prima o poi le indosserò...Di certo non ora, ma quest'autunno.

China & Ralph Lauren

Reading the number of Elle, arrived yesterday, I noticed the new advertisements of the autumn / winter Ralph Lauren. 
Velvet. Red. Oriental prints. And so I thought immadiatly to China as a source of inspiration of the legendary designer RL. 
Sumptuous clothing, very chaste. Blacks in velvet or leather, with red accessories, in contrasting. 
Red, green and black are the dominant colors. The red goes back to China flag but also the passion and ardor, which often hides behind a long dress, cut fine, without seeing any part of the body. 
Models on the catwalk by somatic Eastern, with straight hair, long and black in color. 
Tipically Chinese prints add refinement to the new collection. 
I believe that Ralph Lauren has created a masterpiece with this collection. An absolute masterpiece of elegance.


Sfogliando il numero di Elle, arrivato ieri, ho notato subito la nuova pubblicità della collezione autunno/ inverno Ralph Lauren.
Velluto. Rosso. Stampe orientali.

O - O SUNGLASSES

Thinking about how to summarize the summer of 2011, I can think of one thing: round sunglasses. Exactly! Like those worn by John Lennon, Gandhi or, more recently, Harry Potter. 
The first eyeglasses (without rods) had this round shape. We are in the 30s, when the Safilo company decides to create a lens adapted to the person's face. 
Back to the past for the fashion is always a good thing. Remember how a dress, an accessory was born and then became a real "must". And remember with them, the characters and the designers that made them famous. 
These glasses, which I personally adore, have been rescheduled for the spring / summer 2011 almost all the world-famous designers. I have chosen some of my favorites.

 

Pensando a come riassumere l'estate 2011, mi viene in mente una sola cosa: occhiali da sole tondi. Esatto! Come quelli indossati da John Lennon, Gandhi o, più recentemente, Harry Potter.

COOL on TV...80s 90s 00s


Often when we think of a tvshow, immediately associate a style, a style of dress or wear their hair, typical of those years.
I wanted to write this post, because I believe that some TV series have really given a turn to the fashion world. Suggest to the public. Interpreting it. Showing it through the images.

Spesso, quando pensiamo ad un telefilm, associamo immediatamente uno stile, un modo di vestire o di portare i capelli, tipico di quegli anni.

A GREAT PROJECT


Sometimes I feel a little in this way. Like in this picture. Submerged by clothes, I believe that is still missing something ... something to match a party or special occasion. There are clothes never worn, still bearing the tag. Clothes that I've never wear and then when they find, say, "Wow! I did not know even have it." 
I have a very interesting project for this blog, which will involve girls with problems of "closet", so we can define. I have revealed too much ;-)




A volte mi sento un po' così. Come in questa foto. Sommersa dai vestiti, convinta che mi manchi ancora qualcosa da abbinare...qualcosa per una festa o per un'occasione speciale. Ci sono capi mai indossati, muniti ancora di cartellino.

Summer is....YELLOW!!


Yellow. Yellow. Yellow. And still yellow. What color would best represent the summer!? All the stylists offer it on the catwalk. Who on dresses, skirts of those who on sunglasses or handbags, and who, indeed, of eye shadows and lipsticks. 
The shades of this color varies from lemon yellow or fluorescent (as indicated in the previous post) to yellow ocher, almost green apple. 
Coupled with the purple is a must for the summer, but also to white or black. 
Color cheerful, refined, and especially royal. We remember the Queen Elizabeth at the wedding of his nephew, William. He wore a hat and yellow coat, white shoes and matching purse. Even America's first lady, Michelle Obama often choose from her wardrobe, the color yellow.



Giallo. Giallo. Giallo. E ancora giallo. Quale colore potrebbe rappresentare meglio l'estate!? Tutti gli stilisti lo propongono in passerella. Chi su sbiti, chi su gonne, chi su occhiali da sole o borsette, e chi, addirittura, su ombretti e rossetti.

Fluo


This summer you can not miss in the wardrobe, an accessory or fluorescent clothing. Nail polish, bags, shoes, skirts, dresses with bright colors and strong, giving an image stronger and safer for women. Paired with pastel colors (another must of the summer) or dark colors.

Per quest'estate non può mancare nell'armadio, un accessorio o un indumento fluo. Smalti, borse, scarpe, gonne, vestiti con colori accesi e forti,

ASH boots!!

Will be one of my next purchases. A little known in Italy, but already in vogue in the U.S., including Hollywood stars. Boots signed by ASH. 
Very practical, to be worn casually with jeans and even shorts. 
The first impression is: "Oh my God, are not very feminine!" Well, not quite true. 
The model, of course, is masculine. Very reminiscent of the biker boots. But when you see them worn, totally change your mind. Cute especially on those with very thin legs, stands out precisely because the boot tapered leg and calf. 
A d v i c e: it together with a bag Balencianga (Le Dix Motorcycle)! Below my favorites! The green water and the red (only available online www.balenciaga.com).


Saranno uno dei miei prossimi acquisti. Poco conosciuti in Italia, ma già in voga negli Usa, tra le star di Hollywood. Sono gli stivali firmati ASH.
Molto pratici, da indossare con disinvoltura su jeans e anche shorts.
La prima impressione è: oddio, sono poco femminili! Bhe non è del tutto vero.
Il modello, certo, è mascolino. Ricorda molto lo stivale da motociclista. Ma quando li vedrete indossati, cambierete totalmente idea. Carinissimi soprattutto su chi ha le gambe molto magre, perchè lo stivale risalta appunto la gamba affusolata e il polpaccio.
C o n s i g l i o: abbinateli ad una borsa Balencianga (Le dix motorcycle)!Qui sotto le mie preferite! Quella verde acqua e quella rossa (disponibile solo online su www.balenciaga.com).

The Last Emperor


I want to dedicate a post to one of my many idols in the world of fashion: Valentino Garavani.
After the publication of his documentary - film "The Last Emperor", I still have the feelings I felt on the skin in the cinema, going back through the pictures, his brilliant career. 
I think Valentino has made ​​the history of Italian fashion. Not fashion. The high fashion. 
"Women want to be beautiful." All his work, sketch or design done, put in the full light of this statement and answered prayers. 
I believe there are no other words to show how this character was influential in the fashion world, Italian and ineternazionale. Just images of masterpieces.


Ho voluto dedicare un post a uno dei miei tanti idoli nel mondo della moda: VALENTINO GARAVANI.
A più di un anno di distanza dall'uscita del suo film-documentario "The Last Emperor", ho ancora sulla pelle le sensazioni che provai in quella sala cinematografica, ripercorrendo, attraverso le immagini, la sua brillantissima carriera.
Credo che Valentino abbia fatto la storia della moda italiana. Non la moda. L'alta moda.
"Le donne desiderano essere belle". Ogni suo lavoro, schizzo o progetto realizzato, metteva in luce ed esaudiva a pieno questa affermazione.
Credo non ci siano altre parole per mostrare quanto fu influente questo personaggio nel mondo della moda, italiana e ineternazionale. Solo immagini, di veri e propri capolavori.
