“Mood Stripes”  Beatrice Brandini

“Gwyneth” by Beatrice Brandini

The stripes are one of the ultimate fantasies/pattern, seasonally cyclical, in reality every spring / summer they will return, uninhibited, elegant, cheeky, challenging, colorful and summer. Within a few seasons, however, have become more valuable and “bizarre”, you can dare combining them together or mixing them with other fantasies, in the end everything is permitted because this “is the fashion baby”.
