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!

End of Fear, Beginning of Love

The event of November: Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and Elio Fiorucci held a meeting on fashion and art 'from the Pop Newpop'. was a very special one on Tuesday morning, as it's not every day you have artists like them, to confront together.
In the middle of the speech were the color and fast fashion, the main Ingred Pop.

"De la Prada, Fiorucci have taken into account in their work to the needs of the people: the smile, the colors, and originality. Pop art is a movement that changed the art, is self-deprecating, optimistic. Would not hurt a bit 'the art of the sadness of the modern world made of escort, selfishness and violence. ".

So Mariella Milani (famous Italian journalist who deals with fashion) introduced the two designers.
Following the fil rouge of 'pop art, after presenting his life, Agatha has presented his work of a year, "closer to art than fashion," a labor of colors and simple, happy images.
But sensational was the intervention of Fiorucci, a great man who has started to work in the fast fashion for some years, since, as pointed out by Milani,

"to buy items in the series is a cultural fact, even the jet set buy items economic: the trend. Fashion is democratized. "

Finally, Fiorucci closed his speech explaining his famous angels:

“They are symbols that protect; the dead are angels, but angels are above all people who are near to you: next to us (even without realizing it) there may be a person who loves us.”

Thank you both!

“I love beauty, it’s not my fault”

Do you want to watch a different movie in this rainy night? Do you may want a fashion movie, rich in faboulous dresses? I’ve got it:

VALENTINO, the last emperor.

It’s a documentary about Valentino Garavani: they were following the stylist for two years, during preparetions of fashion shows till the last magnificent one, in the Ara Pacis (Rome).

You can see how gorgeous is Valentino’s work: he use to study e-v-e-r-y dress in its single parts, until this dress will be  p e r f e c t. The movie portays the real Valentino, “reserved and exuberant at the same time”, a man who speaks with his hands and actions, a very charismatic man,yet silent, difficult… but extrordinary, always attacched to a lifelong companion, Mr. Giammetti, a very special man.

The “red Valentino”, the ropes, the private plane, his dogs, Paris, and the grand final parade, the one that has left an indelible mark.

An incredible movie, moving, that leave you breathless.

There is no desire to see it coming? Then, tell me what do you think about it…
