Poster of the exhibition “David Bowie is”

“Ziggy” Beatrice Brandini

I could not visit the beautiful exhibition organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London “David Bowie is”, but I could see the film that the director Hamish Hamilton turned filming the show (you can not go and see something that you would love to be crazy, for logistical reasons, economic or working, so go to the movie theater and sit comfortably see it, almost as if I were there… Oscar for those who have had this idea!).

I am happy to announce the opening of a new section of the site where I will write articles on specific trends.

The trends that have developed for Spring Summer 2016 involving five themes of the season. Each of them brings together the range of colors, inspirations cultural and artistic (art, design, inspirational images ..), the silhouette of the catwalks, those arising from street style and personal designs that interpret the theme. It is 11 pages per theme for a total of 55 pages and a great introductory offer unmissable.

“Gymnasium” by Beatrice Brandini

I’ve already talked about how widely, particularly in recent years, the boundaries between fashion and sport have approached. Many indeed are the collaborations between fashion designers and sports brands, including designers, artists ….; many fashion shows in which also carry the luxury fashion house runway garments from the impression technique or even just borrowed from sports, such as sneakers, jackets, sweatshirts, woven mesh type, neoprene, nylon, polyester …., thanks to greater freedom to interpret the fashion and a new concept of “elegance”.
