  • Byblos Northern Lights

    Forgive the crazy review. When I arrived in Milan on Wednesday morning of Fashion Week the schedule went off the rails quickly. The Byblos winter 2019 was suppose to be the 3rdshow of the day for me. A tad wind blown when I arrived to the location by press shuttle, I knew the brand but had no […]

  • Fashion Theatre from Marras

    Fashion Theatre from Marras

    The Antonio Marras Show at Milan Fashion Week combined a catwalk with live performance theatre. I was not sure what I was suppose to watch, the models, the singers, the stage shows.  The unique setting in an antique space made the event all the more theatrical.  The collection mixed  dark romanticism with a 1930’s feel […]

  • Milan Impressions

    Going with the flow. Milan Fashion Week is over. I love the Italian city with all of its creative instincts.

  • Fabian Goes Relaxed

    Fabian Goes Relaxed

    Playing it loose and flowing at Milan Fashion Week.  For Spring 2019, Italian brand Fabiana Filippi looks had a feeling of a past holiday on a cruise to a far of exotic place. The type of woman who packs an elegant steam trunk for a voyage involving cocktails in the evening. To have such a […]

  • Statement Menswear

    While At Pitti Uomo this year I stumbled on the menswear brand In The Box.  I am a fan of knitwear, then mixed with color. It has my attention. For a gentlemen looking for statement accessories, I recommend the label. The Italian company produces all of its collection in Italy.  For the nearest store and to learn […]

  • Furla for 2019

    Furla for 2019

    An impressive presentation from luxury bag brand Furla at Milan Fashion Week, what was my opinion?  Creative Director Fabio Fusio based this bag collection on cities and gender neutrality.
