  • MFW Paciotti Presentation

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

  • 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 […]

  • Black and Paper at Milan Fashion Week

    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 […]

  • Call Beyonce!

    Call Beyonce!

    Shoes are fabulous items. Some creations should be worn on the upper part of the body instead of the lower. During Milan Fashion Week, Aquazzura presented its Fall 2019 collection that gives the word “bling” a new meaning. My first thought, call Beyonce. Queen B needs to wear these on stage. Creative Director and Founder […]

  • Lux not Overdone

    Valextra, the Italian handbag maker produces pieces based on luxury not overstated flash.  Each bag makes a statement.   I have been a fan of the brand for many seasons.  The brand is a favourite of Oprah Winfrey.  Checkout the video from Milan Fashion Week.

  • Love the Unexpected

    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 […]

  • Paris Experiences

    Want to know what my experiences were like in Paris during Couture Week? Check out some of the videos.  It was never boring. Sometimes a challenge overcoming old values. All things considered, I plan on returning.  But Paris always excites me.  A Big Thank You to Canon.  They loaned me a camera. 

  • Paris Fashion Week Couture

    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 […]

  • STILL, NOPE!

    WHY?  There is no fun in posting the pictures. What was once sharing experiences has turned into narcissism and greed. A digital feel good pill for those desiring “Z Level” fame. Perhaps it is because I had a life and travelled before the platform existed. Showing  “I am living a great fake life” borders on […]

  • Bonjour Paris

    Bonjour Paris

    Black and Paper countdown to Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture starting June 30th. The City of Lights is our destination to the fashion week of fashion weeks. Couture is the ultimate in craftsmanship. One of a kind looks created by designers to showcase their skills as technique masters.  An understatement would be the word “Thrilled”. […]
