Hollywood Icons in Rome

In a moment of relax while you are shopping in Rome, keep in mind one of the most glamourous exhibition on American actors and movie directors ever made in Italy. It is showing at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in via Nazionale up to the 17th of September. A fantastic collection of photos owned by John Kobal, a journalist who collected them all his life. We start from Charlie Chaplin going throught Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, Alfred Hitchcock, Grace Kelly, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart. Below a portrait of Audrey Hepburn in the movie Sabrina ( 1954). The photo was taken by Bud Fraker. Paramount Pictures. John Kobal Foundation.

In July a private shopping tour in Hermès

For an exclusive and private shopping tour in Rome, one of the first store to go is Hermès. A Palace in via Bocca di Leone 23-27. I take there my clients because it is one of their favourite brands, plus what you get in Rome can be different from what you get in Paris or in the USA.  The Spring Summer collection is very fresh and glamour with warm colours and hot pants. In Hermès there is a all range of ties, bags, belts and accessories. I just love it.
