A New Concept
As the shopping experience changes, so must retail reinvent itself to stay relevant. On a recent visit to Paris I decided to pay a visit to the new Galeries Lafayette on Champs Elysee. The great boulevard’s stores have changed. In the 90’s this former Virgin Records Super Store offered every genre of music. I discovered […]

Get Over Yourself
There was a “protest” at the last Paris Fashion Week. Marie Benoliel crashed the stage. The YouTuber confronted Hadid at the Grand Palais. The stunt was boring. Her excuse: “Fashion makes people unhappy”. Get over yourself Marie! Fashion makes me happy. If I were unhappy with the state of it I would not protest on […]

Prague, The Over Toured, The Good.
The first time I visited Prague in 1997, it was a city still waking up from years of Communist rule. I managed to cross The Charles Bridge many times both day and night. Walking up to the Prague Castle to get pictures standing overlooking the River was easy. My first day I met locals who showed me […]

Prague, Just Look Up!
Prague is a walking city. Along the shores of the Vltava River, the Czech Capital buildings go from Dark Gothic to Minimal Modernist to Ornate Art Nouveau. While I did not recognize a masterplan. Admittedly, I am a laymen when it comes to architecture, the eclectic harmony is visually pleasing. On every street, […]

Cividini
I have successfully worked with Cividini on many occasions. Styling on Red Carpets, casual looks for day wear, I had great success each time. As far as the collections, quality fabrics, classic looks shinning through. The wearer does not suffocate under the pieces. Check out the videos below. The first is from […]

MFW Paciotti Presentation
An interesting presentation feminine, sensual. Albeit, sadly, the shoe designs lacked the “oomph factor”.

Ikea is a Retail Example
I recently paid a visit to my nearest IKEA. Usually these excursions are planned. They evolve into an outing. Dinner, and perhaps a dessert. The cafeteria is a busy mixture of every group from retirees, young families, to single nesters. After the final coffee we take the usual “see what’s new” walk. The stores one […]

My Milan Fashion Week View
This season was not the strongest for the Italian Style Capital. A moment collective crisis or a shift to what it does best. Backing away from mixing streetwear to more tailoring and Italian chic style. Quick Round up Armani stayed in his lane. Cool blue and pink pastels, metallics, and fluid materials made up his […]

Shoes from Milan #1
Milan Fashion Week is always about shoes. The city with so many designers never disappoints me on presentation visits. Whether a popular name or an up and comer, there are many stylized appealing footwear. South American Inspiration from Stuart Weitzman Floral and Animal Print from Giuseppe Zanotti Traditional Style from Doucals Glam from Jimmy Choo […]

Black and Paper at Milan Fashion Week
My Reliable BFF Milan Fashion Week was exhausting, a tight and grueling schedule. Many shortened presentations and events running alongside Fashion Shows made for eleven hour days. Once again the reliable Milan Metro System became my best friend. As a whole, the Furla collection was a bit underwhelming. The Milan Fashion Scene is under going […]
