This look I picked out for a Sunday with my family is an explosion of colors. A plain wool and angora sweater by Alysi in different shades of purple and a flawless raw-cut jacket in a brighter and livelier purple tone over a beautifully floral-patterned divided skirt reminiscent of the Danish Marimekko patterns of the nineties, but in a more conceptual version. To add a bold touch, the faux fur handbag by Paul Smith and yellow Sebastian shoes. …
Halfway between Tawny Port and red – the sexiest color of the season – this look is simply beautiful. It is contemporary, sophisticated, fun and easy to wear from morning to night. …
Port is the name of a sweet red wine, but also of a vivid and full color, the sophisticated alternative to black. It flatters both brunettes and blondes, whether as a contrasting or complementary color. Here I chose a Tawny Port shade for the velvet coat by Bazar Deluxe with flared and flower-embroidered sleeves, over a floral pajama Pink Memories outfit matching the coat sleeves’ pattern. Shopping at Rose Noir. …
De’Sto, the new venue designed by a team of brilliant architects and which just opened on Piazza San Francesco, has all the charm of a New York bar. The dark interiors, design lighting and fifties-style furniture create an intimate and elegant atmosphere. I came for a drink with a dear friend of mine and I picked a powder-colored velvet outfit by forte_ forte with Gucci bag and Tipeetacchi shoes. Shopping at Babylon Bus. I ordered a beautifully-made Cosmopolitan and a salmon tartare with a delicious selection of cheese. …
This look by Pedini Abbigliamento is contemporary and urban style: Mème velvet designer Palazzo pants and a sage-green check coat with fur collar. The patterned men’s-style shirt is very feminine, chic and softens the figure. The beige envelope clutch is the detail that makes the difference. The city in the background. …
The pattern of this outfit in peacock velvet, a stellar trend of the A/W 2018 season, is striking: little pink dogs which are repeated on the silk blouse in a lighter shade. Palazzo pants and tight-waisted jacket. All by L’Autre Chose available at Pedini Viale della Repubblica. Contrasting handbag and shoes, vintage-style jewelry by NotForAll. Do you like my new haircut? A very stylish long bob! The futuristic architecture of the new Pecci Museum in the background. …
One of my favorite styles: the mix of different patterns, fabrics and colors reminds me of my homeland. Today I’m dressed in autumn tones– brown, mustard yellow and tobacco- and in a patchwork of patterns and trends: a Tela check coat over a sophisticated animal print knit by Suoli and cigarette pants by Meme, which are both variations on the savannah theme. Leather brown-colored accessories. …
I chose a “conceptual” outfit for my visit to the new Pecci Museum: camel vest and cropped pants-camel is still a very trendy color- paired with lace-up ballerina flats and fancy socks. A touch of chic, my leather Chloè handbag. A very comfortable, sophisticated and slightly Bohemian look… What do you think? …
More energizing than butter, this look’s toast color slightly verges on mustard yellow with a hint of acid. The ton-sur-ton knit and pants are classic-looking, but the color makes the difference. The Stella Jean vest and the patchwork bag bring an ethnic touch, which stands out against the base color without, however, overshadowing it and, instead, making the overall ensemble livelier. …
Butter-colored: an elegant look which blends perfectly in with the fall foliage. It is so chic that you can get more daring with silhouettes and pairings. I love it and I picked this total look by Rose Noir with cashmere coat, beige knit with flared sleeves and matching very loose-fitting pants. The leopard print booties bring a fresh take to the classic look. Be careful with accessories on the same color palette. …
Last winter’s must-haves are back with a nude twist: cropped pants with large cuffs are beige-colored like the loose-fitting and long-furred Forte_ Forte coat. The knit is a work of genius by Saccai, with beige, plissé and colored details which blend wonderfully with the beige base color in a very original way. Creative and very stylish accessories. …
This outfit by Rose Noir is a vision of pure elegance: the Alysi blue allure coat- paired with Tela drawstring pants- broken up by a thin, deep-red line matching the sophisticated mid-heeled shoes on bare feet. Vintage frames and earrings. An eighties-style bucket bag by Avenue 67. …
A mix of yuppie and career woman-style, the Rose Noir pinstripe suit by Alysi features contemporary-looking bell-bottom pants leaving the ankle exposed, paired with a long jacket with Tela belt at the waist and a beautiful blouse by Tela again. Accessories: a retro-styled Maliparmi handbag and a beautiful grey felt hat by Cristina e i suoi colori. …
The power suit is super trendy: the tailored pantsuit is the latest fashion frontier for working girls as well as for women busy managing family and households. The pinstriped Babylon Bus outfit by Alberto Biani, with long jacket and loose-fitting pants, pairs wonderfully with the no-frills, custom-made shirt. The white pumps are the touch of early fall that is not making way for winter yet. …
In the beginning, it was Filson, which marked an epoch in men’s clothing. This winter- although we’ve seen it for at least two seasons already- the checked jacket is making a comeback in women’s fashion. I had fun wearing a very street look on an afternoon shopping spree downtown. Few but elegant pieces by trendy brands such as Carven, Isabel Marant and a vintage touch!
