TWO SIDES




The collection was a sort of homage to Mr. Laurent, to Yves, as a human being, facing two sides of him, one impeccably elegant during his work time, in a suit and tie attire, sleekness translated into perfection. On the other side, it was a night-out Yves, who liked a dungeon-like scene, the feel and smell of leather, the one that Robert Mapplethorpe used and marked in his works, a play of contrast between elegance and audacity, used as an inspiration by Anthony Vaccarello. The attraction of the opposites is a timeless wardrobe of ultra-cool suits, embraced by overcoats and paired with knee-high leather boots.

FASHION NEUROSIS


 


In case you may not have heard about this podcast by Bella Freud yet, or you did but weren´t able to didn´t want to listen to it yet, I warmly recommend it to you. What is it about? Bella invites her guests,  from fashion icons, footballers, rock stars, and writers, you name it,  to lie on the couch and discuss the relationship between fashion, love, identity, culture, anxiety, and politics. They reveal their insights, faux pas, turn-ons, and turn-offs about why we wear what we wear.


LEATHER GLOVES

Each pair is luxuriously lined, predominantly with soft cashmere, ensuring elegance and warmth during colder months. Explore my curated selection and choose the perfect black pair to complement your style!

I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO FLY

Commonly, I would end a year with a playlist, precisely the 12th one, as my sound diary goes monthly. This year is different, unintentionally, due to lack of time. Finishing a year with playlist number 09 (the three left will be published in short). Interestingly enough, or it may be a coincidence, this playlist rounds up perfectly, not just in the ninth month but the whole year. How to describe it? Maybe as a game of opposites. It may appear unlogical in certain moments of listening, but deeply inside, it has a sense. It´s rough and also soft, serene and vivid, sincere with some moments of naivety. In short, this playlist is not a typical dance one for ending the year (you can find one here or the one from 2022 here), but rather a way to not only review some past moments and experiences but also to connect some points with what is (possibly) coming in the future. To fly high. Enjoy!
