The city of Milan is most known for its fashion week, held three times a year since 1958 under the ownership of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. In fact, so much so that they say during the Fashion Week the city has a magic vibration that quickly wears off after the show ends. I am glad I discovered a beautiful Milan full of life & beautiful architecture and stylishly crowded, a true show of art and beauty.
IT’S MID-JULY AND SUMMER IS UPON US, setting even the busiest of cities — London, New York — in a languorous haze where days seem to move at a slower pace. Dinners are spent alfresco, preferably somewhere by the water, and weekend getaways to laze in the sun become routine. But deciding what to wear when it’s a blazing 28º outside and the preferable choice is nothing, can be difficult, for combining style with comfort is paramount…
Paris is blooming with charmant places. Some of them are the quietest in the city. Others are proud owners of the most gorgeous design, while others serve the most delicious meals you’ve ever tasted. And just a few, well, they have it all.
BLANCA IS THE IT-GIRL of the season, and it’s refreshing to see a Spanish face, slightly darker, and more mysterious than the myriad of Eastern European girls who usually take centre-stage.
DJ Khaled might not actually do anything, but whatever he’s doing, or not, it’s working. He’s still the best famous-person-wrangler around, and he’s managed to round up a truly absurd posse of superstars on his upcoming album Grateful. You’ve already heard the #1 Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper/Lil Wayne team-up “I’m The One” everywhere on the radio, and you’ve probably already heard the Drake collab “To The Max” and the post-Grammys Beyoncé/Jay Z duet “Shining” too. Now, Khaled is sharing “Wild Thoughts,” which features Rihanna and Bryson Tiller and samples Santana’s “Maria Maria” guitar riff.”
HIGH UP ON THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS IN LA, large tents were set-up, and a bonfire burnt as two hot air balloons branded Sauvage settled in the sunset. An unlikely location for a Christian Dior show, but a reasoned one. Mr. Christian Dior, after all, visited Los Angeles in 1947, while today, the house has formed relationships with many Hollywood stars, who appear frequently on the red carpet costumed in Chiuri’s signature taffeta gowns.
FOR A GLIMPSE OF THE JET SET LIFE, one must look no further than Slim Aarons’s photographs, capturing all that is cool and chic of the café society of the 60s.
SUNSHINE GETS BRIGHTER AND DAYS GET LONGER, and so, with the summer, there is a certain appeal to pulling off beachwear in the city. During these warmer months we tend to dress down, swapping intricate layering techniques and embroidered velvet jackets for Levi’s cut-off shorts and silky day dresses.
The act of consuming music, film, art and books on the surface may seem simple enough, but in fact, exposure to these media is a much more complex and multi-faceted experience. Memorable books and music weave their way into our own personal history and form the tapestry of our identity.
