Since the 1960's La Perla, with her founder Ada Masott,i designed bathing suits. Here below the new models.

THE MOSCHINO FRESH COLLECTION

In Rome I should visit more the Moschino Boutique in via del Babuino 156. The Shoppingthere can be really fun because of the english designer Jeremy Scott. He renewed completely the brand and made it frescher and cool. Here below the RESORT Collection. He showed it in Los Angeles, his home at the moment. Great colours, top-bustier, bathing suits in crochet and flare pants. I just love it.

GIANLUCA CAPANNOLO IN ROME AT DEGLI EFFETTI

    If you ask me the name of a new upcoming designer, I will tell you Gianluca Cappannolo. I discovered him, by chance, taking for an exclusive shopping tour, a lady from California few monthes ago. We went to Degli Effetti, a great boutique near the Pantheon where you can find the new talents of the italian fashion. Born in L'Aquila, Capannolo studied at Accademia Koefia and then worked for Lancetti, Fratelli Rossetti, Krizia among others. His fall winter collection 2016-2017, took inspiration from George Cukor movie "The Women" (1939). This elegant kind of fashion is geometric, very dressed up, with precious fabrics. The palette goes from khaki to red and pink with black, white and brown.
