Kate Moss

Kate Moss is starting to lose her charm: from what is seen from the votes, it appears that the top model could remain an outsider from the top list of the 100 most sexy women in the world, according to the magazine FHM. Last year, the top model, was placed at a very mere 87th position, and now it seems she has lost her magic over the readers that were asked to vote: up to now, for Kate Moss, only a few positive approvals have pulled through, and from what it appears is that men do not find her that fascinating anymore. The executive editor of FHM, Chris Bell, revealed to the Sun: "In the world of fashion Kate is considered one of the most beautiful of women, but according to the readers of FHM she is actually a passing fashion".

Yeah, right...VIPs!

That VIPs were not the top of the class in means of class and elegance, this we already knew. There were many who were without pity nabbed in coarse and rude moments, for example, picking one's nose, scratching their backsides or walking down the streets with sloppy and shabby dresswear, without a hint of makeup on. Some stars, such as Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell and Robbie Williams, that have done outings, have publicly declared their dependence on alcohol, drug and various pharmaceutical products, and have entered into clinics to disintoxicate themselves. Others simply were arrested while under the influence of alcohol or regularly caught while on drugs or stoned out of their minds. If these are the stars of showbiz, to mix up one's wardrobe by color or texture and to show one's self in public with the very unelegant sweat rings under one's armpits is truly the least that could happen to them...

Beautiful under the sun, with the most trendy of sunglasses

For the spring\summer 2007 the most trendy sunglasses to be sought out will bring back the atmosphere of the Dolce Vita (n.d.r., "Sweet Life"), of the 1960's, and there will just be an embarassment of choices available in order to copy the look of the stunning Audrey Hepburn and the elegant Grace Kelly. The imperative of this year is the wraparound model, at times exaggerated, that besides the eyes covers the part of the face giving one a "fly effect". First of all, one has to choose a frame that conforms to the shape of the face and understand that eyeglasses are a fundamental accessory of our dresswear and have to be chosen in an accurate and precise manner. The look for this spring\summer 2007 is alla Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", with the addition of a scarf around the neck or used alla bandana mode - that is, colored and with a designer name - and huge sunglasses that protect from the sun and from indiscreet looks, while giving off a mysterious air of "vamp".

The cuddle pillow

A pillow that cuddles and that hugs and warms you when your partner cannot.

Kate Moss Top Shop Collection for Vogue

In the fashion magazine, models come and go, but when Vogue dedicates its front cover to a model like Kate Moss, it is not an ordinary choice like many others.

Yes, this is because this top model has picked the bible of fashion to unveil the preview of her first dress collection for the low-cost brandname Top Shop. From the the first two snapshots, one can immediately deduce that the collection on sale in the famous fashion chainstores, mirrors the style of Kate Moss, with a predomination of colors that are white and black and, that her dresses are characterized with vintage prints that are very much loved by the top model. The preview of the collection cannot help but increase the already long lines of shoppers that have attended for months and will finally have the opportunity to grab hold of the some dress items that are signed by the top.

Vintage is fashion!

First of all, let us get the terminology right: vintage is a word that fashion has robbed from the world of the art of wine-making, who used same to indicate the valuable vintage wines. At the beginning of the 1990's the term was used to ennoble all that came out of attics, wardrobes and cellars and that re-proposed as objects having a retrò flavour: not only with regard to dresses, but also furnishings, gifts and fancy goods and music... Successively, little by little, as it found itself among the marketplaces of the most trendy European cities, where used goods were sold, these items have now become vintage and in consequence a "humour. A taste that influences, with epoch pieces or "in style" of the ambiences of up to par fashion locales, that leave a trace of one's self in the collections of the stylists and personalizes the home interior with lines and motive of the years 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.

The eternal enigma on fashionable hairstyles

The VIPs continue to change pigmentation and forms of their very costly hair, mixing up the ideas of young teenagers who are always ready to imitate them in way of look. The latest tendency which is most accredited among the top expert hairstylists, is that they opt for the color tones from light chestnut to intense chocolate. There are many, in fact, the stars and starlets that this winter have decided to change the color of their hair and to have extensions to better matched with their coats or shoes who have more rigid and darker tints, distorting, in some cases, images that have now become symbols of identification for the public, who is often reluctant to guarantee the excessive changes of look of their favorite celebrities. The scandalistic newspapers are invaded by photos of very blonde actresses that have decided without beating around the bush to enter into the Olympus of the burnettes. Among these, the most clamorous is certainly Cameron Diaz, who for depicting the image of the flighty, candid and wild blond has made it her warhorse, while the intriguing Scarlett Johansson, has become the muse of many directors, thanks to the her delicate assonance of the very blond stars of the 1950's.

Excuse my absence!

Excuse my absence, but a small health problem have prevented me for performing my "fashion duty"! Here I am back on my feet again and exploring the nations for the latest and hottest fashion news!

Scarlett: in the morning she is not a femme fatale!

The Hollywood stars are at times extremely strange: the newspapers waste rivers of ink to their praise beuaty and they, with a simple declaration, can easily dismount an image of a femme fatale that has been associated with their image. This is what happened to the seductive Scarlett Johansson, defined in the Playboy magazine as absolutely the most sexy celebrity. The beautiful interpreter of "Match Point" has said, during an interview with the magazine Parade, that she does not indeed feel feminine, and which is more serious, she described herself when she first gets up in the morning. "When I wake up in the morning and without make up on - declared the actress - I look like a boy. I am absolutely not feminine. Yes I do have full lips and I do not have a beard (that's all she needs!) but I do not feel very feminine at all

Thigh highs, what passion!

It was the year 1986 when Dim launched the thigh-high stockings. Also called the garter stockings, name, which was definitively elected the heir of the thigh-high stockings that have crazed the boys in the past years. Twenty years from their first apparition on the market, the thigh-high stockings still resist. Even if sales have drastically declined (the French brand names have been halved over the past 10 years).

Pomellato: Victoria is born

Pomellato presents its latest homage to female beauty: Victoria, a gold rose-colored jet chain.

Its execution and polish is entirely by hand. Victoria is a homage that Pomellato renders to feminility.

Pino Lancetti leaves an empty space in the Italian designer fashion world

Today one of the great masters of Haute Couture Pino Lancetti, has passed away. They called him The Tailor Painter. Class and genius

D&G Bag

One cannot certainly say that Dolce & Gabbana are designers that live their creativity in the pursuit of tradition and classicism. If only for this singular motive, one should not be surprised that with a handbag like this, in elegant tones of honey and caramel, is shown off with a certain degree of pride, with a huge splaying leather buckle in its center.
Extravagant luxury with details that take the front line, it is their unique combinations that has always characterized their collections. The handbag is in canvas, and is enriched with leather charms; its cost is of US.D. $ 690.00

The Plastic bag

Do you think that the actual handbag which is all the rage in the world of show business wears a designer label and is very sought after luxury item? Wrong, very wrong. The handbag that is most adored by the VIPs is the most simple that one can think of: it is created by Anya Hindmarch, and it is a plain cloth handbag that costs less than eight Euros. Among the celebrities of Hollywood it has become a real and proper must-have and this ultimately proves that one does not need to spend a lot of money to be cool.

The pleasure of getting up in the morning

Is the moment of awakening for you the most difficult moment of the day? Perhaps, it may be less traumatic, with the digial clock Night Light of Ming Hsu, created especially for a more relaxed awakening, and to feel more ready and comfortable in getting up, all using the innovative technology that renders it both an alarm colck and a night light. But how does it work? One can choose by using a control panel, the theme or situation that one prefers, by picking the music or perfumed essence that simulates an environment that we love, for example, the forest. The situation evoked permits one to relax before getting on our feet and ready to face the day. The modern design with squared lines, in fact renders this object fascinating and pretty to see.Are you ready to wake up!?

Being single is not that bad

Hollywood is sending us a strong and clear message: being single is better! Bridget Jones made us get used to the idea that singletudine one has to suffer one or all of the following: sad weekends pining away at home awaiting the telephone call that would never arrive, nights stuffing one's self with ice-cream and pizza in front of our favorite love movie, entire days of compulsive shopping with the hope (SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, IT IS THE GOD HONEST TRUTH!, ESPECIALLY IF I BUY A DRESS, I ADD ON A SPLENDID PAIR OF CHOO'S AND A PRADA HANDBAG!) that a dress could help us feel better. All of sudden, there is the arrival of the lasses of Sex and the City who have completely transformed the vision of the life of a single, adding glamour and fun, making us think that all in all, not being a couple is not all that bad. All you have to do is get dressed up, call a couple of girlfriends and one's good mood is assured. From here on we can take examples from the Stars, that leave on a very frequent basis their companions, and then appear more beautiful and in shape than ever before!

Underwear, retro-chic and nostalgic

The G-string remains closed in the dresser drawers, from which instead, pops up slips and "shorts" type underwear. Under the dress in the next seasons, we will be seeing women "retrò-chic", luxurious and of generous forms, like the 1950's pin-ups. There is an complete takeover of culottes in various versions, from boy-shorts, "shorts-style" underwear, elastizied low waist wear, but comfortable, be it in silk or lace, candid and malicious at the same time. Goodbye to white and black, and wide berth to water colors and new materials such as embrodiered silk and froissé, cachemire and doily lace. And the let us not forget the comeback of the slip! The one and only, those worn by our mothers and grandmothers, the undisputed arm of feminility and seduction.

A&F

The Americans do not know that the young (and even the not so very young), Europeans, and especially the Italians, adore Abercrombie and Fitch. For this reason there is a considerable ferment these days for the opening of this single designer label store A&F in London, and, more precisely, at Saville Row in London. The inauguration should be March 22 and finally, in this manner, I do not have to return everytime to Italy with a suitcase full of sweatshirts and shirts for my brother (who is in the category of the not so very young!)

Penelope at the Festival of Sanremo

The Spanish actress Penelope Cruz on the stage of the Ariston Theater at Sanremo has enchanted everyone, including Pippo Baudo. This is also due to the merit of the shot silk chiffon evening dress in the hues of "chocolate" with an inlay of a cream-colored velvet motif that withheld the marvelous dress chosen for the occasion. During the interview, the host Pippo Baudo delivered to Penelope a "tasty " chocolate Oscar that seemed absolutely to be appreciated and, in turn, naturally eaten by the movie star!

They broke the locks of love!

The locks of love removed! Almost all the locks that have been for quite some time were hung on the lampposts and trees of Ponte Milvio (in Rome) by young lovers, as a symbol of an inseparable union, were cut off and removed by vandals during the nights of last Thursday and Friday! This was surely the works of a very unromantic burglar!

Mini-coat

This autumn\winter season, short is in and of tendency. Mini dresses, tight-fitting short jackets, waist-length duvet jackets and coats and mini-coats. Half-lengths, sober or super-decorative, with a belt that highlights the waistline, the mini coat braves the rigid temperatures and is quite glamour!

Salma, a bosom with top grades and honors!

Hayek has won the prize for the best décolleté displayed on the large screen at the Anatomy Awards. Also awarded were Jennifer Aniston, for her total nude scenes, and Brittany Daniel for her backside.

Ferretti for Hunziker

Last night Michelle Hunziker displayed the usual brilliant and designer label dresses! In fact, last night, it was the turn of stylist Alberta Ferretti. I almost forgot to mention that the cost of the golden dress made by Valentino worn by Hunziker during the opening night was of ''...290 thousand Euros (approximately 350 thousand dollars!) Decisively a an entrance made in grand style!

Visits to Paris

On the catwalks of Paris one can see the comeback to the 1940's! Diva and Divina for Dior. Thanks to the feminity for Girbaud, luxury for Valentino who is getting ready for three day party for his return to Rome! My favorite is Karl Lagerfeld!This time Riccardo Tisci has designed for Givenchy a perfect collection. Viktor and Rolf totally ...exaggerated!
