Always to get out, at least for a few hours, from this surreal climate that all the big cities are experiencing, think big. This week think about luxury and in Milan think about via Montenapoleone, the 5-star shopping street, which the Milanese affectionately call via Montenapo, where there are the most prestigious brands and historical places in Milan. Come for a ride and stroll along the street as well as admiring the sparkling windows of the “dreams” of the next purchase, you can read the plaques displayed between the different buildings that recall the well-known faces that have lived here in history.
FASHION 2020
Oversized jackets and coats, neutral and pastel colors for the insiders who have animated the last Fashion Week years. The reference to the past lies in the detail, from the shoe to the shapes of the end of the millennium. Attention is paid to accessories that, if chosen well, always give a strong character to the best looks. Easy to get lost in a wrong look, between courageous aspirants and daring combinations, the possibility of falling at the mercy of disproportionate outerwear and “candy effect” is really around the corner. Sometimes you just have to dare a little less to get a refined but super cool look.
PRIMAVERA ESTATE
Per la nuova collezione primavera-estate, Zalando propone una nuova linea, e le protagoniste dello shooting fotografico sono le dipendenti dell’azienda. Zalando e Progetto Quid si sposano e fanno nascere una collezione molto “green” e molto “easy”. Green perchè ogni singola creazione è stata realizzata con il recupero di tessuti di eccedenza, messi a disposizione dalle più prestigiose aziende italiane di moda e tessili. La collezione si compone di 27 pezzi, di cui 18 realizzati in esclusiva per Zalando. I pattern geometrici dai colori vivaci e le stampe floreali, sono un motivo ricorrente. Il messaggio lanciato da questa esclusiva collezione è quello delle “seconde possibilità”. Le esclusive modelle sono donne da un passato difficile che rinascono e vivono in una seconda possibilità. E le eccezionali modelle sono state fotografate nel luogo da cui la loro vita è ripartita. Tutti questi ingredienti rendono speciale questa collezione. A questo punto clicchiamo tutte per indossare almeno uno di questi capi. Questo ed altro su Instagram @Anna_Spampinato_blogueur

APERITIVO IN BOUTIQUE
Vorreste fare un aperitivo fuori porta? Avrei un ottima location in caso, un hotel boutique con interni eleganti nella zona di Eastcliff, vicino al mare che include anche colazione e cena per il week-end. La soleggiata Bournemouth sulla costa del Dorset, nel sud dell’Inghilterra, è accogliente in qualsiasi momento dell’anno. Godetevi passeggiate lungo la scogliera o sulla lunga spiaggia sabbiosa; scoprire musei stravaganti e uno dei moli considerato “il più bello della Gran Bretagna”. Arroccato a soli 15 minuti a piedi dal famoso molo, l’hotel vi consentirà di raggiungere facilmente l’intera città. The Orchid è elencato tra i primi cinque hotel di Bournemouth.
ANNA VIRGILI
Now finding high quality leather goods, like the one our grandparents used, is really a puzzle. However, this does not happen for Anna Virgili, who since 1988 has offered her customers top quality leather goods. It was born as a small family-run boutique in San Benedetto del Tronto, but despite its size also on the market, it had an unconditional love for its customers by giving them an accurate attention to small details and impeccable service. 4To date Virgili is an important brand in the world, but which remains attached to its roots and which still tries to offer the same things of that time, an excellent made in Italy product.
DON’T WORRY
It is evident that there is a veiled melancholy walking through the streets of the city of Milan, in this second week of coronavirus. Suddenly we stopped talking about everything except the emergency which is less and less Chinese and more and more global in our national moment. A return almost to a rhythm and to a dimension to which we are no longer used and which, perhaps, in addition to making everyone think a little, makes us see and appreciate an unusual Milan. So enjoy a good coffee and take a nice walk through the streets of Milan admiring the city in this surreal atmosphere, and if you want something new pampered with shopping in complete relaxation without queues, don’t worry, live the city!
ACHILLE GUCCI
Achille Lauro is the revelation, in his consecration, of this Sanremo 2020 Festival. A success that is also due to the collaboration with Gucci. A project brought to the Ariston stage that has turned into a different journey every evening. The look of the first red carpet was in fact a red carpet “non-look”, in perfect style I don’t care, title of the song by the Roman singer, competing at the Festival. Then the iconic flesh-colored cape and onesie from the early evening. Go viral in seconds. And for the evening of the duets, Achille Lauro turned into David Bowie in his version of Ziggy Stardust. Then came the turn of the Divine Marchesa Casati Stampa, eccentric and lover of luxury. For the final evening, Lauro went down the stairs interpreting Elizabeth I Tudor, virgin bride of the country, of the people, of art and defender of freedom. Only an extravagant and nonconformist like Gucci could accept a collaboration like this, it is certain that his looks did not go unnoticed
#BEALADY
La perfezione è un traguardo che viene sempre spostato. Se raggiungi 9 deve essere 10. Arrivati a 10 ci si aspetta 11. Ma perchè solo 11 potresti puntare a 12. Così all’infinito. E le donne sono risucchiate da questo sistema che le vuole “perfette”, ma mai “autentiche”. L’estetica, l’involucro è bersaglio incessabile di teorie e critiche, tutte in netto contrasto tra loro. Devi essere magra. Mangia che sei uno scheletro. Non essere sciatta, ma sempre truccata. Troppo trucco, sei volgare! Alzi la mano chi non è mai stata vittima di uno di questi e tantissimi altri stereotipi. Non esiste una donna al mondo che anche in modo lieve, non sia stata presa di mira o non abbia sentito una di queste asfissianti noiose frasi. Cynthia Nixon e il suo video manifesto tratto dalle parole di Camille Rainville e realizzato per il magazine Girls Girls Girls, è diventato immediatamente virale. #BEALADY #BEALADYTHEYSAID. Tema ancora ricorrente in questo bisesto 20 20. Questo ed altro su Instagram @Anna_Spampinato_blogueur
SOS CEREMONY
Alberta Ferretti launches a new limited edition for autumn 2020, ready to fulfill the wishes of those who are looking for formal dresses for a special occasion or an event with a high degree of elegance. A lot of color, shiny fabrics and jewel applications are the basis of these models that range from the long, ethereal and undeniably underwire style dress, to the jacket and trouser suit. A game of contrasts, between a romantic and delicate femininity like silk and chiffon, and a stronger but never androgynous attitude. architectural ruffles and decisive, sculpted cuts are a recurring element, which conquers at first glance. the palette for the coming autumn is wide and, if on one side there is a lot of black, on the other side a dusty gray and blue, blue, purple and cyclamen stand out in a brilliant key.
