This ring is part of the Sunlight Escape collection, specifically, Exalting Sights, where the magnificence and the spectacularity of jewelry inspired by nature is emphasized thanks to the extraordinary skills of maison Piaget. In northern lands, frozen expanses capture the eye, and the passage of time is perceived as a never-ending magical instant. The pure light reflecting on the snowy peaks creates a spectacle that resembles the brilliance of the masterfully worked gems, which create a kaleidoscope of exceptional intensity and depth. A collection that is a tribute to Mother Earth through the language of precious stones. Questo anello fa parte della Sunlight Escape collection, in particolare della Exalting Sights, dove la magnificenza e la spettacolarità dei gioielli ispirati alla natura, è messa in risalto grazie alle straordinarie competenze della…

Art deco inspirations in surprising lacquered effects, where bright red accompanies cornflower blue. A plethora of a thousand silk fringes or tiny beads create a delicate glint. Distinct embroideries decorate dresses and sculptural bodices. Slightly pagoda shoulders on quaint jackets are accompanied by trousers with tiny ruffles on the hems. A timid ostentation rationalized by Armani’s style where beautiful jewels with a geometric imprint are also part of the theme. Ispirazione déco declinata in sorprendenti effetti laccati, dove il rosso acceso si accompagna al bluette, e a un’ euforia di mille frange in seta o in minuscole perline che creano delicati giochi di luce. Importanti i ricami che decorano gli abiti e i corpetti che sembrano scolpiti. Le giacche minute, dalle spalle leggermente a pagoda, si accostano a pantaloni con…

Fashion designer Dany Atrache presented the “Jardin Secret” collection. Enchanting women move in a dreamlike world, where nature reigns supreme. Femininity is underlined by a modern, romantic style and contrasting emotions coexist in harmony: fragility and seduction, audacity and sensitivity. The creations tell a poem made of precious fabrics that caress the body. Organzas and silks are embellished with floral prints and exquisite embroidery, while the color palette reflects the hues of spring flowers with splashes of black, silver, and midnight blue. Lo stilista Dany Atrache ha presentato la collezione “Jardin Secret”. Donne incantevoli avanzano in un mondo onirico, in cui la natura regna sovrana, la femminilità è sottolineata da uno stile moderno e romantico, in cui convivono in un insieme armonico emozioni contrastanti: fragilità e seduzione, audacia e sensibilità.…

“Eco Awareness” è il tema principale dell’ultima collezione Guynel. Guynel, potresti spiegarci come l’hai sviluppato? Hai utilizzato tecniche o materiali speciali? Ho sempre fatto molta attenzione a non sprecare i materiali e non ho mai utilizzato pelli di animali esotici o pellicce, ma ancora di più per questa stagione, mi sono prefissata di utilizzare solo le materie prime migliori che erano già nel mio atelier. Perciò, stoffe recuperate, materiali e plastica riciclati sono stati usati per la mia collezione “Villa of Wonders”, ispirata alla natura. Divenendo sempre più attiva per far fronte a tale pressante tematica, ho capito che ciò che ho realizzato non solo è possibile, ma può essere anche una alternativa più economica che i marchi del lusso dovrebbero considerare. Riciclare. È possibile applicare regole per ottenere capi…

Back to the great classics. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli looks towards couture by Charles James, seen through the lens of Cecil Beaton but, instead of imagining one kind of woman - the WASP - he imagined a strong black woman in all their splendor. Emphasized volumes that caress the body, rustling crisp skirts, swirls of satin and taffeta, prominent sleeves and bows, but also an ethereal floral daintiness, a gentle spring wind. Ricomincio dai grandi classici: Pierpaolo Piccioli, alla direzione creativa, rivolge lo sguardo verso la couture firmata da Charles James e ripresa dall’obiettivo di Cecil Beaton, ma al posto delle donne wasp immagina ragazze afroamericane, in tutto il loro splendore. Volumi enfatizzati che vanno ad accarezzare il corpo, fruscio di gonne croccanti, volute di satin e taffettas, maniche e…

Invited to participate in Paris Haute Couture Week, Antonio Grimaldi, fascinated by the myth of Ariadne and Theseus, creates a collection of dresses that combine fluidity - in impalpable chiffon - with three-dimensionality - in double gauze sculptural details. Geometric lines, and a hint towards classicism, are embellished with metallic thread embroideries that evoke labyrinths. Affascinato dal mito che vede come protagonisti Arianna e Teseo, Antonio Grimaldi, invitato a far parte del calendario ufficiale dell’Haute Couture Parisienne, realizza una collezione composta da abiti che uniscono la fluidità, negli impalpabili chiffon, alla tridimensionalità, nei particolari scultorei in gazar doppiato.

A rock attitude for this new collection, with creative director Maxime Simoens who has (forever?) abandoned the minimalism expressed at his debut.

The meeting of two souls, representing two sides of the same woman, gave rise to the Elisir collection, designed by Enzo Miccio. One is pragmatic and decisive, the other is a dreamer and romantic. A marriage that is the origin of an exquisite line, in which mikado, organza, tulle, and chiffon triumph in a play on textures and overlays embellished with refined embroidery, where soft lines enhance femininity. L’incontro di due anime, che rappresentano due lati della stessa donna, ha dato origine alla collezione Elisir, disegnata da Enzo Miccio. Una pragmatica e decisa, l’altra sognatrice e romantica, un connubio che è l’origine di una linea preziosa, in cui mikado, organza, tulle e chiffon trionfano in un gioco di texture e sovrapposizioni e sono impreziositi da ricami raffinati, le linee morbide…

The Théâtre des Champs Elysées, the temple of art deco and the quintessence of Parisian elegance, hosted Stéfane Rolland’s fashion show. Heroines inspired by Antoine Bourdelle’s mythological frescoes are reinterpreted and modernized. Crêpe and chiffon alternate and are combined in overlays, asymmetries, and contrasting volumes. The palette is formed by dusty colors, white and black, coral pink, and solar yellow that define sculptural pieces expressing opulence and freedom, grace and elegance, a love for art.

The perfection of dragonfly wings, their delicacy and elegance, the lightness of their movements, as if they were a dance, create the mood for a sophisticated and exquisite collection, which translates the grace of its sinuous lines and geometric shapes in magnificent embroideries and refined transparencies. “Anatomy of a Wing” mixes bold materials and typical couture savoir-faire with unexpected results that shape dresses with voluptuous features and a color palette that ranges from intense purple to emerald green, from ice to baby pink.

These are the evocative lunar landscapes of Lanzarote that inspired Julien Fournié in creating a collection that flirts with the wonders of nature.

Neapolitan designer Francesco Scognamiglio created 12 couture pieces for next spring, inspired by the charm of the moon, its darker and mutable side, its elusive beauty.

Travellers’ Tales - Bags Unpacked, is a curious collection of tales by intrepid travelers written by Bertil Scali and illustrated by Pierre Le-Tan. Their baggage? Strictly Louis Vuitton. You’ll discover how the indomitable and voracious Ernest Hemingway once left the manuscript of his novel, “Festa mobile”, in a trunk he had forgotten, and that was lovingly guarded, at the Ritz for 26 years. He then rediscovered and enjoyed reading it again while sipping a good cocktail at a bar. The legendary Isadora Duncan, who was strangled by her scarf when it became tangled in the wheels of a Bugatti she was driving, filled her trunks with scandalously sheer Greek tunics, those that made her the famous avant-garde dancer she was. Instead, the quite shy Christian Dior vaunted two Vuitton trunks…

Welcome to the golden age, where all nuances and contaminations become possible, and the warmest tones are the most loved, especially when they meet solar coral, bronze or brocade with coppery hues, creating unprecedented patchwork effects, in the name of luxury. Precious metals both for bijous and enchanting accessories. All desired, all to wear. Benvenute nell’ età dell’oro. Tutte le sfumature e le contaminazioni diventano possibili, ma i toni più caldi sono i più amati, soprattutto quando incontrano il corallo solare, il bronzo o il broccato dai riflessi ramati creando inediti effetti patchwork, all’insegna del lusso. Metalli preziosi sia per i bijou sia per gli incantevoli accessori, tutti da desiderare, tutti da indossare.…

Ernest Hemingway once said that the circus was the only spectacle he knew that, while watching it, gave the quality of a truly happy dream. Celia Kritharioti internalizes this thought and translates it into the inspiration of her couture collection for next spring. A powerful, sophisticated, and dynamic collection in the colors selected. Vibrant in shades of baby pink, vitaminic orange, and fire red, imbued with femininity and elegance, created with exquisite materials. A contemporary luxury, expressed in light feathers, in cascades of fringes, and in magnificent appliqués. Ernest Hemingway diceva che il circo è l’unico spettaccolo in grado di trasmettere le autentiche sensazioni di un sogno. Celia Kritharioti interiorizza questo pensiero e lo traduce nell’ispirazione della couture per la prossima primavera: una collezione potente, sofisticata e dinamica nella selezione…

One of the most historic French fashion houses returns to Paris Couture Week, and it becomes a special event, especially if it’s Balmain. A long awaited presence (the last couture show Balmain presented dates back to 2002, when Oscar de la Renta was the brand’s designer), led by the quixotic Olivier Rousteing as creative director, affirms how a fundamental part of the maison’s DNA was recaptured. L’ esprit couture. Il ritorno di una delle più storiche case di moda francesi nel calendario ufficiale della Couture parigina è un evento speciale, soprattutto se si parla di una maison come Balmain.

The bottom of the sea and that point on the horizon where the sea joins the sky are what inspired Zuhair Murad’s couture line. Blues are intense and deep, brightened by the luster of mother-of-pearl. Waves of silk chiffon envelop the body. Embroideries are like stars reflected on the ocean embellishing its surface, sweep across his creations in plays of light, where fluidity, grace, and sophistication are found in skillfully draped fabrics and elaborate pleats. I fondali marini e quel punto dell’orizzonte in cui il mare si unisce al cielo hanno ispirato la couture dello stilista Zuhair Murad. I blu si fanno intensi e profondi, ravvivati dalla luminosità del madreperla. Ondate di chiffon di seta avvolgono il corpo, e i ricami, come stelle che si riflettono nell’oceano e ne impreziosiscono…

An extremely elegant high fashion show with rigorous lines for the Parisian stage. The standards of the atelier are all there. Cuts are perfect, as are proportions. Impeccable, with a touch of extravagance which makes a difference, like a huge bow that hides a backpack or latex for pants and capes. Clare Waight Keller draws falsely simple clothes with a sure hand and with a certain minimalism that flows into cascades of sparkling, tinkling fringes, softened by some naive lace. Contemporary haute couture. Chic. Una sfilata d’alta moda dai tratti rigorosi, per il palcoscenico parigino, e di estrema eleganza. I canoni dell’atelier ci sono tutti: i tagli sono perfetti come le proporzioni, la confezione impeccabile, è il tocco di stravaganza che fa la differenza come l’ enorme fiocco che nasconde…

Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Maison Dior for just the past few seasons, has worked from the outset to place the female figure at center stage with powerful feminist slogans. For her Spring 2019 couture collection, “Dream Parade”, she brings a London troupe of acrobats and jugglers to the catwalk, transforming the Musée Rodin into a circus. A dreamlike and mysterious universe that was so loved by Monsieur Dior. It is no coincidence that the show was performed on the day of the 114th anniversary of his birth. References to Picasso, Federico Fellini, Cindy Sherman, Jeanne Cocteau, and Gerard Vicaire are embodied in an eccentric and spectacular collection, made up of long, sparkly dresses, tailored jackets with a masculine touch, geometric mini-dresses, and skirts structured like cages. Maria Grazia…

Guillermo Mariotto, creative director of the brand, creates a collection that looks back to the past, recovering Gattinoni’s incredible heritage in a contemporary version, where art and culture play an essential role in defining impeccable creations.
