“Celiné” by Beatrice Brandini

The lingerie for women is a weapon of seduction very important. The cinema has understood its power for some time, tying some of its heroines, women among the most fascinating in its history, just an undergarment. The lingerie is the protagonist in the film like in life. Read more →

Exhibition poster J.P. Gaultier in Paris

“Mannequins Gaultier” by Beatrice Brandini

Jean Paul Gaultier is one of the greatest fashion designers that, since the end of the seventies, continues to amaze us with his creative, tailoring, ironic and precious collections.

Until August 3 Paris pays tribute to this histrionic and very talented stylist (it’s sad to see how the fashion abroad is protagonist like great artists [in the same building was just inaugurated an exhibition of Diego Velázquez], while in Italy yet struggling to find space and visibility!), at the Grand Palais.
