Simonetta Ravizza for the Spring Summer 2013 brought on the catwalk minimalist unstructured garments made of a special lightweight and soft leather like silk.

Fluidity is the key word of the last New York Fashion Week. It’s a praise to the flowing and soft lines, with light clothes swishing at each step. The silhouettes are generally softened and tend to widen downwards. There are so many colors, especially yellow, electric blue, red, green, black and white, as well as the floral prints and residues of damask wallpaper effect. Despite the great enthusiasm for New York Fashion Week, unfortunately, I would say that there’s still missing something or, perhaps, there are too many low quality things and I think it is really necessary to reconsider…

During the Kenzo fall winter 2012 fashion show, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim presented a special jewelery line made in collaboration with Delfina Delettrez. The Italian jewel designer chose once again the Nature theme, enclosing nuts and dried orange segments into the resin and mounting them on gold sheets modeled as realistic shells or peels.

In the film and fashion industries, there are many divas who made history by wearing male suits. You can think about the libertine and eternal rivals Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo, or the casual-androgynous Katharine Hepburn, not to mention iconic garments such as the tuxedo for women by Yves Saint Laurent (mid 60s) and the destructured pant suit by Giorgio Armani (80s). Although these examples seem to belong to the past, from the catwalks we can definitely say that the androgynous look is one of the Autumn Winter 2012 trends. There are many variations and styles for the daywear such…
