What better way to celebrate tomorrow, the day dedicated to love and romance, than with a bit of Bordelle. We’ve been fans of this niche lingerie label for quite sometime and think they are the perfect go to for a Valentine’s Day with a bit of a twist!
We love this shot of Uma Thurman for Vogue Italia by Peter Lindbergh. Shot in black and white, the actress looks stunning and sultry in a fabulous pair of Burak Uyan’s eye catching creations.
The up and coming designer has become a red carpet favourite thanks to his unique use of colour and architecturally inspired shapes that look great with a simple, understated dress or mixed up with an elegant evening gown.
Introducing the first in a series which celebrates some of our favorite new designers who create all their collections by hand here in Italy. First up, we are proud to present SuperDuper hats.
This label, based in the tuscan countryside, was created out of a love of classic hat making, vintage styles and timeless shapes which the designers blend together with niche hand crafts and their own inimitable style to create something beautiful and unique.
Whilst in Milan, internet singing sensation Lana del Rey was spotted wearing Osman Yousefzada. Perfect for the rising songstress’s combination of classic all american with a sultry twist, this London based designer has become an international success, noted for his use modern shapes and themes with a touch of classic elegance. Photographed with fans and editor at large, Anna dello Russo we love the way she works this leather belted lace dress.
