CROCHET

SILK SUMMER
Are you seeking the ideal addition to your summer wardrobe? Picture an item that is not only lightweight and breathable but also effortlessly stylish and exceptionally comfortable. This piece is designed to keep you cool and dry, offering a luxurious feel without any stickiness. It resists wrinkles more effectively than linen or cotton, making it perfect for travel, and is equally suitable for a vacation or lounging at home. When you wear this item, you'll experience a sense of tranquillity and sophistication, as if you're perpetually at a luxurious resort.
GLOOMY DAYS
©tedoré
One day is almost like being on a summer holiday, while the next day is the opposite, giving us a feeling that autumn is knocking on the door. Nothing unusual, I guess, but the drastic differences are not so habitual. What should we wear as a final layer when we are not so or not at all spoiled by the sun?
ANDIAMO!
Which to pick? No doubt the larger one, and andiamo (let´s go)!
AN ODE TO CHICNESS
If you don´t mind some overly-done pieces like puzzle-like patchworks seen on leather jackets, some sweaters and even on shirts, the collection would be a really an ode to chicness. Especially in love with the oversized balloon trousers cinched in the waist or the wide-leg suede ones, not to mention comfortable double-breasted suits and silk trenches. Tomas Maier´s slouchy and elongated lines for the summer 2017 are a true winner, especially when monochromatic or not playing with drastic contrasts. Dear men, take some notes.

THE ROW holds their pre-fall imagery
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

What Céline has done for years and still
doing it, some American brands are following the French luxury house steps. What
I am talking about? About releasing high-resolution images of pre-collections
right on a day when these collections are hitting stores. As it did Proenza
Schouler two weeks ago, now it´s time for The Row to hold the brand´s
pre-fall imagery until April. Everybody
who was invited – fashion business insiders – to take a look at the brand´s
latest collection, was also informed that there will be not distributive images
of the collection until the mid-April, when it starts hitting sales floors.
So there will probably be a bit of “hard-time”
for Zara and other fashion-street-like retailers that intensively all these
years “used” some ideas straight from big-brands and turned them into their fast-selling
collections; but I guess that Inditext (Zara´s mother-house) will not be stopped
by the first obstacle on its way, when made only in first 9 months this year 2 billion
of profits. Don´t you think?

MILAN FASHION WEEK F/W 2014/2015
Italian´s F/W 2014/2015 was a bit different
from what we saw in New York or London; in major cases more baroque*, much more sheer-see through elements **, the length of skirt
was shorter in Milan*** and Italian designers really like
to "invest" a big part of their collection to dresses****.
