She wants to make the difference

Another wednesday, another movie.

It's Mona Lisa Smile Time, one of my favourite's movies.

A full-length movie, filled with everything from fashion, described simply perfect. We're between 1953 and 1954, one would think that the designers have taken up this film for fashion shows of this winter.

Long skirts, cardigans, starched shirts, hats, veils, red lipstick and strings of pearls.

Everything is so incredibly perfect.

Fashion has certainly a very important role in this movie, since that enriches every scene, every dialogue, debate, romantic moment are highlighted by the captivating beauty of the clothes that we dream today, because is tha peace and prosperity tipical of 50s that we dream today, in this period of crisis. And are these elements that tell the story, as well as to issues related to the irreversible change of that decade: contraception, divorce, free love, women's empowerment, new music, rock 'n'roll, unconventionality, which are opposed to the traditional, bourgeois values, the disparity between the sexes, the division of roles, pairs that divide people, but all of these things make you fall in love with that class of art of the female Wellesley College!

Such an amazing movie that went deep inside women souls searching for reasons why us, complete, wonderful and capable creatures are voluntarily lowering our own expectations from life when we literally have everything to open new worlds to the world we live in.

Enjoy, and fallow my advice!

My parents say my future is right on the horizon.

- Tell them the horizon is an imaginary line that recedes as you approach it.

Look beyond the paint. Let us try to open our minds to a new idea.

My teacher, Katherine Watson, lived by her own definition, and would not compromise that. Not even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial, to an extraordinary woman who lived by example and compelled us all to see the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she'll be sailing to Europe, where I know she'll find new walls to break down and new ideas to replace them with. I've heard her called a quitter for leaving, an aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition; beyond definition; beyond the image.

A movie for every week

Wednesday, in the middle of the week, is the perfect day to start a column!

So, every wednesday we’ll talk about …movies. Let’s get it started!

It’s Christmas time and in the frecious gift’s hunting (terrifying!) of these days I want to propose you the perfect movie to dream in the Christmas atmosphere.

Serendipity (2001) is about fate: “serendipity” is when you find something unexpected when you were looking forsomething else. So, it’s a love story dictated by destiny: they meet each other during Christmas shopping, they spend an evening together without exchange their names and telephone numbers. They’ll write them in a book (that she’ll sold) and in a banknote (with that he’ll pay something). Destiny will do everything.

Thanks to Sara (Kate Beckinsale), we can till dream and be hopeful, even when everything seems to be going wrong, because “fate is behind everything”, and we gotta have faith in destiny.

Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences, but rather, it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite sublime plan.

My Christmas’ wish list

1. A Blugirl bag – because I love bags and Italian one’s are the best!
2. Tiffany Key – because a jewel is forever, and a Tiffany one is to feel special
3. Parisienne par YSL – because it’s very chic and charmeuse, and it’s to have a little part of Paris in you
4. Reebook Easytone – for a better shape!
5. A Reflex Photocam – for very special memories
6. A Shopping trip to London – to have the best and most particular goods and clothes

Hope Santa will give me someone of this things…

And what would you like to find under you Christms tree?

The man who lets us dream

‎Perchè la moda si porta addosso, un abito indossato da una donna e non da un manichino prende forma,la stoffa cade in un certo modo, la luce illumina certi punti

We’re talking about Renè Gruau (1909-2004).

He has been a fashion designer and changed the history of advertising in fashion, thanks to the collaboration with Christian Dior, with who he promoted the new look, a new female figure, who embodies the desire and define a lifestyle that makes you dream: sinuous silhouette, narrow waist, sides pronounced, many accessories.
His art consists in matching poster’s style resorts of Rimini, elegant and stylish, with the simple and linear Japanese prints made of bold colors and scenes that truncated hide, reveal, intrigue.

Enjoy!
