STYLE TIPS #4: SNEAKERS PER TUTTI I GUSTI

Sono ormai lontani i tempi in cui le calzature sportive venivano relegate a palestre e campi da gioco. Sempre vetusto è il concetto di considerarle come scarpa da tempo libero, il passe-partout per un piede casual. Le sneakers, oggi così universalmente riconosciute, quelle che poche decadi fa definivamo “le scarpe da tennis”, sono un accessorio irrinunciabile nel guardaroba di ogni uomo. … Continua a leggere →

IO DONNA SCHEMA LIBERO DENIM ’70

40 MODA R schema libero70s’ Denim. It happens cyclically and punctually: 70s are back in fashion again. And I can tell you more: in summer 2016, flared trousers and flowery shirts will be in the top lists of all the fashion victims. In this season, on the other hand, the references of that anguished decade of the revolution against the hypocrisy of the middle class, that crumbling middle class well depicted by Luchino Visconti in Conversation Piece, are represented by the great offer of denim. But today it acquires a completely different meaning, far away from any revolutionary ideology. I like to think that in its own way denim would like to celebrate that social and cultural movement that some of us regret. Michael Douglas wearing jeans on the set of Napoleon and Samantha (1972)

SCHEMA LIBERO – PROMENADE

FOCUS ON MAN FALL/WINTER COLLECTIONS: PRESS DAY

La rassegna dei Press Day curata dalla mia redazione per The Men Issue – Carlo Ortenzi (Max, Sette) , Mattia Maulini (Max e Max online fashion area), Angelica Pianarosa (Max, Style, Io Donna) , Andrea Porro (Max, Style, Style Country, Io Donna e The Men Issue), e Luca Roscini (Style, Style Golf e Max), continua. Dal secondo round,  decisamente vince la volontà di affermare  un’ appartenenza timeless, anche nell’ outdoor. Il casual stesso si appropria di abbinamenti con materiali rubati al classico, come il coat di Pirelli Pzero con l’ interno in tessuto tecnico ma l’esterno in lana Galles. Eleganza è la parola d’ordine. Unico momento veramente fashion, la giacca di Moschino con stampa mattoni che rammenta le pareti di alcuni club newyorchesi o del milanese No Ties dei tempi che furono.

The Press Day report done for The Men Issue by my fashion group – Carlo Ortenzi (Max, Sette) , Mattia Maulini (Max e Max online fashion area), Angelica Pianarosa (Max, Style, Io Donna) , Andrea Porro (Max, Style, Style Country, Io Donna e The Men Issue), e Luca Roscini (Style, Style Golf e Max) – is going on. In this second round, the need to consolidate a timeless mood develops above all, as well as in outdoor menswear. The same casual-wear itself gets possession of materials that it steals by formal-wear, like – for example  – The PirelliPZero coat that has a tech fabric inside although the out is by Prince of Wales wool. Elegance is the password. The only fashion moment is the Moschino jacket with a brick print that reminds at some NY clubs and even at the milanese No Ties club quite famous in  the 80’s period.
