I attended the Sergio Rossi presentation during Milan Fashion Week. For Fall 2019 the Italian shoe label went for statement footwear. Knee high boots and red pumps formed part of the collection.

Love the Unexpected
During Milan Fashion Week I had a very pleasant surprise. I did not plan on attending this presentation. A friend of mine had to talk me into it. Keep in mind on top of the 100 or so appointments I had on this day adding another was not something I wanted to do. I decided to go along with my friend to the presentation. Great surprises come from the unexpected. Curiel started in 1945 as a dress maker for the La Scala Set in Milan. Since that time the brand has stayed true to its origins. Making dresses representing LA DOLCE VITA! Classic, feminine, and beautiful.
I met the 2ndgeneration owner of the label. A wonderful person radiating elegance. Raffaella told me the history of the her family’s brand.
Going over looks not pandering to the “now” trend went down like a glass of wine. I had to enjoy the moment. Understanding modern clothing is about being seen. Perhaps Curiel would seem old fashion in today’s Instagram scene. No matter, the ultimate test is time. The brand’s heritage looks could still turn heads.

Paris Fashion Week Couture
BONJOUR!
Sorry, I have not been posting. A bit busy on this end playing catch up. Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture felt a bit overwhelming. Covering the event for the firs time started from the moment I arrived at the hotel. I dropped the bags at the hotel in the center of Paris then raced off. My first appointment was in the Vendome. HOT! The only word describe the scene, 32 degrees in a city lacking green spaces. Loud? Yes. Big cities are not places for medidating at 11am.
Rush! Rush! I wore comfortable shoes to get into the rhythm of the French Capital during PFW.
Unlike other fashionweeks Couture week is more exclusive. A smaller crowd of editors, buyers, and clients for one of kind creations.
I got invites from production houses Shout out to Mephistopheles, public relations agencies, and designers. The Couture Jewelry collection presentation events were also scheduled as well as showroom visits. Four full days were on my calendar.
Paris is not only a walking city, but also for running. Seeing fit Frenchmen jogging in skimpy shorts in the Tuileries Garden may seem like a Samantha Jones inspired fantasy but crisscrossing it during the day to make an appointment, well, I could not sit down to admire the sights, too much dust and lack of time.
HOT!
Too Darn Hot!
Did I mention it was HOT in Paris during PFW? The metro was opened for free rides. Thankfully, many shows and presentation were in walking distance or 3 metro stops away.
Wearing Black was the summer look, not for me. This is a mixture of shameless product placement, sponsorship, and fashion practicality. Cividini loaned me a few silk and cotton polo shirts. Breathable materials saved my life.
Expecting brands tomeet a timetable would ask too much but starting 45 minutes to 1 hour late made keeping a timetable impossible. I missed 3 shows. Happily, I arranged for re-see’s.
I cannot wait until the next Couture Week.

Less BUT More
I viewed the last Fratelli Rosetti collection at Milan Fashion Week. The shoemakers also had a nice Spring collection with outstanding woven technics.
From Milan
Additionally, the luxury label an established luxury footwear brand goes decorative with the Brera Cult Project Collection. All 13 exotic bright fabric shoes have been inspired by landscapes. The first Brera Loafer from the Milan was introduced in 1968, named after the Milanese artist neighbourhood.
Mens and women’s looks available in limited editions.
As I have said before, Fratelli as a brand is not as well known as others. This does not mean less quality or pizazz. Every Fashion Week I look forward to checking out the looks. I leave the presentation wanting a pair. In my book, This is a good sign.
The shoes are shaped in a more classic and practical way.
Austrian brand Alpha Tauri is now on sale in the Berlin department store KaDeWe. The Red Bull owned label is new on the fashion block. The team introduced me to the brand at Press Days last fall. The collection is based on premium outer and athletic leisurewear made in Europe. Emphasizing high tech materials and 3-D printing production techniques are the core approach.
Design wise I would say the pieces combine the masculine with the minimal.

A review of the SX 740 HS Powershot
I used the Canon Powershot SX 740 HS camera during Pitti Uomo in Florence and in Milan for Menswear Week. I found it hand and practical for my needs because the best feature was I could slip it into my pocket on the run. There are many other features to this solid point and shoot including, a zoom lens and top video recording quality. It is made for being on the go.
I am not a photographer. I appreciate their work. It is an art form and skill set I value.
Stay Tuned, I will have more after Milan Fashion Week.
