    Milan Fashion Week 2020

    Black and Paper prepares for Milan Fashion February 2020.  While we countdown, enjoy a collection of GREAT FACES from previous MFW’s. 

  • Action + Words=3

    I have written about this subject in the past.  It is easy to protest, be a part of a movement that does not involve negative consequences. Climate change activism continues to stay on the front page.  Greta made the cover of Time magazine as Person of the Year.  However, does Generation Z really feel about…

  • Red Carpet Inspired

    Check out the quick interview from the Milan Fashion Week with Designer Nitin Kartikeya.  I interviewed him at The Hub.    Sponsored by #CanonDeu

  • 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

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…
