    Tamara de Lempicka exhibition in Turin

    May 23, 2015 - By 

    Until August 30th the exhibition “Tamara de Lempicka”, produced by 24 ORE Cultura and Arthemisia Group, turns the Palazzo Chiablese in Turin into a documentary catalog in which photographs, newspaper clippings, magazine covers, drawings, films and paintings, unmask every secret of the great painter.

    While I’m publishing this post I’m in Milan for the must-see event of the year that the entire world envies us. No, it is not the Fashion Week, but the Salone del Mobile.

    March 25, 2015 - By 

    Spring has come and finally we can get rid of dark coats and heavy sweaters, showing our most colorful shirts under lightweight cardigans or unlined jackets, but as every year we have a “seasonal problem” (especially the men who love prints and patterns, like me): in the shops there are always the same things with already seen patterns and fantasies! So, here it is some practical shopping advice to improve our summer wardrobe thanks to Esprit.

    Interview with Nō ARTIGIANI ITALIANI

    March 24, 2015 - By 

    Japanese mood, scarves, prints, polka dots, sweaters and stripes are just a little part of Nō ARTIGIANI ITALIANI, the commercial brand that is seducing the press and the market thanks to its special kind of knitwear for men. Intrigued by the rapid growth of the brand I interviewed Claudia Cennamo, one of the CEOs together with Mirko Buffini, and I discovered that behind Nō ARTIGIANI ITALIANI there is a whole universe born from the passion and the dream of two persons who strongly believe in the  Made in Italy values and who have bet on a different way of conceiving…

    March 17, 2015 - By 

    Miuccia Prada presented the FW 2015 collection during Milan Fashion Week in the post-industrial venue of via Fogazzaro set up by the Rem Koolhaas’ AMO studio as a maze of candy-colored Chinese boxes, in which she showed a story of “experiments on proportions” that could confuse the less trained eyes to the search of beauty.
