  • Reminds Me of Fall

    Reminds Me of Fall

    As I walked to the bakery on the wet, dreary fall day my mind went back to a fashion presentation at Milan Fashion Week. The problem: I cannot remember the brand name. I think the show was on the schedule but for some reason it evades me.  The brands looks were based on strong knitwear. […]

  • Outerwear ReDux

    Outerwear ReDux

    The setting for the Fay presentation was impressive: A large space in the company’s head office with blue screen. Secondly, I liked the collection of  menswear and womenswear outerwear based on re-interpreted  classic looks.  A change from the brand’s normal DNA. From the Fay Presentation

  • Borsalino @ MFW

    Borsalino @ MFW

    A hat is always an elegant accessory.   I attended the Borsalino presentation at Milan Fashion Week.  Each one makes a personal statement.  Check out the pieces.  

  • OPTIMISM

    OPTIMISM

    I love saying the name PUCCI! It conjures the glamour and expressive color of the 1960’s. Optimism ruled. The sense of tomorrow will be brighter day. At Milan Fashion Week I stepped in to see what was new for Fall 2019. Prints and shaped colors continue to the unique aesthetic of the brand born in Florence […]

  • 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

    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

    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 […]
