Iconic inspiration: Pierre Cardin

Pierre Cardin, the designer who tried to make fashion accessible to everyone, is famous for the sharp lines and the geometrical cuttings.

More modern than expected the mixture of fabric and geometric shapes can be interpreted with fantasy and a countless number of variety.

In the dress the asymmetric cut of the neckline, the triangular shape and the definition of the lines is clearly inspired by the iconic artist.

The minimal allure and the softness of the fabric in its way of suiting are added value in a personal interpretation.

Black tie is an attitude

Oscar Wilde used to say that "You can never be overdressed or overeducated". Elegance is always polite and always pleasing. If you feel good and confortable in your clothes you will never look inappropriate.

In the last years the black tie look - smoking for men and long dress for women - was cleared. Fashion is definitely going in the direction of comfort in clothes, but a long dress is not necessary an uncomfortable item ofclothing. On the contrary it can mix the right quantity of comfort and elegance.

Easy in this way to feel like a diva. Simplicity in color and in shape is a must not to look excessive. The right accessories, just to give light to the figure, or not accessories at all are the perfect solution to bring out the dress: real leadingactor together with you.

And remeber: never before 6 p.m. This is the only one rule in a non-rules fashion panorama.

Dreaming about Vacanze Romane

Audrey Hepburn in Vacanze Romane movie drove a Vespa wearing a glamourous midi skirt and a bon ton white shirt. 

To wear a midi skirt, however, today some cares are needed. The first rule is to wear this skirt, long to mid-calf, always with a pair of high heels, not to have your shape looking shorter. 

A simple shirt, a precious top or a funny printed t-shirt are alternatives for a perfect match, according to your style and the occasion to wear it.

An important element is, of course, the fabric from which the skirt is made. Precious materials for a gala dinner, men drapery for a sober office skirt and from denim to brocade for a cool item. A simple model and a million of ways to wear it.

Today mini-skirts and mini shorts are invading all the fast fashion shop windows. Going upstream? Why not, if in the name of elegance!

Fabric is magic

The origin of fashion and style is fabric. Conditio sine qua non to have quality clothes is to choose the right raw materials, the right patterns and weight. 

Each material, each fabric has different features to satisfy all your needs. The choice is yours.

Enjoy choosing and matching styles and materials as much as you can, dare with the most risky mixes. The result can be extraordinarily fashion.

Just pay attention to the quality of raw materials, choosing always natural fibers and italian made fabrics.

A suggestion for your summer? Sparkling white linen, gold details, smooth lines and structured dimensions.

Summer is coming: be minimal, be colorful, bespoke.

Summer is coming and sun is shining. Too hot to wear elegant? Not true at all! 

Keep fresh choosing minimal lines, brilliant colors and light textures and materials. Linen, cotton and silk are the perfect raw fibers for your summer look.

Synthetic fibers and stretch clothes are absolutely forbidden. Feel free and comfortable with smooth and wide dresses, letting fabric glide on your skin.

Which color? White and all shades of blue are the evergreens. Dare with brighter colors if you feel selfconfident for a sparkling sensation of freedom even at work or in the city.

Wear fashion, write even more than fashion

Writing is one of the most direct forms of art.

You cannot write something important in a common and impersonal notebook. You need style also in this case. 

Bring always with you a fashionable diary to note down your appointments or simply your thoughts. But it must be coordinated with your personal style.

How is it possible?

Buy a diary. No matter the color, concentrate on the quality of the paper preferring natural white translucent pages. And then cover it with luxury cashmere fabric in your favourite pattern. Glue, scissors, five minutes time and a bit of creativity is needed.
