LA JOLIE FILLE, A NEW BRAND IN ROME

Few weeks ago, I went to scout for my exclusive shopping in Rome, the Rione Monti. I asked a friend of mine, Angelica who lives in the area, to take me around. She introduced me to a great talented designer who works on his own: Michele Capalbo. His brand is called La jolie fille. His atelier is in via degli Zingari 47. He proposes great long dresses, modern and cool, no wonder as he worked for Roberto Cavalli, Jean Louis Scherrer and for Chiara Boni. In his showroom also silk printed pants and shoes made in Italy.www.lajoliefille.it

MIU MIU BY STEVEN MEISEL

The new Spring Summer MIU MIU advertising campaign is signed by the great photographer Steven Meisel. This time he shot four newscreen actresses : Millie Brady, Julia Garner, Matilda Lutz and India Salvor Menuez. The brand is extremely up to date with tweed, jacquard, knit, satin, lace and leather. The forms range from oversized trench to cotton shirts. The pictures from Meisel are tightly cropped, asymmetric and shot against a neutral grey backdrop. The neutrality of the approach reveals the richness of the looks coupled with the palpable intelligence of this new faces.
