IN ROME WATER AND FASHION

Sometimes, part of the Shopping tour in Rome, can be the visit of a fashion and /or creative exhibition. A perfect example is the one called "IN ACQUA H2 O MOLECOLE DI CREATIVITA' ". It takes place at the Planetarium of the monumental complex of the Baths of Diocletian. You will be able to admire not only dresses from Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Issey Miyake, Gattinoni, Romeo Gigli, but also the beautiful pictures of Paolo Belletti. The exhibition is up only to the 12th of June. Don't miss it.

Every movement is part of the process #2 photo by Paolo Belletti

ANTONIO MARRAS IN NIA FOR A ROMANTIC SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Last saturday I was on a shopping tour in Rome with two american ladies. We stopped by Nia, two boutiques in via Vittoria (just off the spanish steps). In one of them there was a lovely embroidered jacket from Antonio Marras, one of the greatest italian talent. My clients were extremely impressed. Here below his new fall winter collection based on:  layered skirts with fringes, brocade dresses, velvelt flowers, silk gowns. His muse, for this particular collection, is Adèle H, the daughter of Victor Hugo. A romantic and disturbed girl madly in lovely with British Army officer Albert Pinson. She followed him in Nova Scotia, Barbados and Sardenia. No happy ending as it has to be in real romantic story as Goethe taught us in " The Sorrows of young Werther".

EXCLUSIVE SHOPPING IN ROME WAITING FOR KING GEORGE

The roman boutique of Giorgio Armani is in via Condotti 77 and I love it. I often take my clients there for an exclusive shopping tour. Here below few pictures of the new fall winter 2016 collection. King George worked a lot on velvet, jackard and flowers. His fashion is extremely delicate and wearable. That's why a lot of italian actresses often wear his clothes on red carpet and on other official occasions. They look beautiful without being over dressed. The essence of elegance.
