This motto accompanied all the staff during the preparations for issue number 79. A number that coincidentally in numerology represents difficulties, ongoing obstacles but also the desire to believe and march forward anyway. And it is in this spirit that the team has addressed this issue. Contingencies have been many and varied; our timing halved, staff changed (in this number that we say goodbye to Luciana Righetti, historical editor of Accessories with us for over ten years, and we welcome Gloria Tonini, a new-old-entry-of-my-fantastic-staff), unforeseen technical issues and, last but not least, catastrophic weather that have indirectly impacted also on our work. Thus, on the basis of this small excursus of what happened this last month, I decided to name the editorial after a book and an author who made…

Comieco, the national consortium for collecting and recycling cellulose packaging, has selected products of superior craftsmanship, somewhere between art and design, for a new publication. L’altra Faccia Del Macero collects in Italy and abroad the most interesting wearable accessories made of paper and cardboard. Objects that stem from the artistic minds of skilled artisans who were able to revive and reinterpret the lower value materials. Indeed, the timeless jewellery in precious metals and stones is almost predictable, and certainly, paper jewels are less visible, but the simplicity and lightness of the material makes for impactful creations that could hardly be proposed in other materials. These are not “poor” objects, as sometimes paper and cardboard tend to be considered, but preciously crafted jewellery and accessories. And not only jewels: also creations…

Hot days on the French Riviera: Romy Schneider lies down by the pool, kisses Alain Delon and then loiters around his magnificent villa with Jane Birkin. These unforgettable scenes from the 1969 cult movie “La Piscine”, a true hymn to the “dolce vita” of the south of France at that time, inspired the new 2015 Spring-Summer collection by Silke Debler Accessories, which pays tribute to the icon of style that was Romy Schneider. This collection of accessories, which includes handbags, gloves and hats, evokes the luxurious “sea, sex, sun and jet-set” feeling with its vibrant colours and Italian leathers. And, for an even cooler look, the “Swimming Pools” digital photo print shows scenes from the legendary film. Furthermore, the recently introduced “Modern Stripes” weaving technique refreshes those patterns that evoke…
