Bellucci and Scamarcio too erotic


In "Manual of Love - the Next Chapters" Monica Bellucci and Riccardo Scamarcio are engaged in a very erotic scene. The actress interprets the role of a very foxy physioterapist that is nursting a young man forced to live on a wheelchair interpreted by Scamarcio.
The monthly magazine Ciak directed by Piera Detassis offers to its readers in first preview, the photos that are defined as rather sexy which demonstrates how high the mercury rose on the set.
For Bellucci, the scene shot with Scamarcio, "is the most erotic scene I ever interpreted". "Some pieces were cut because they were considered too hard", declared the director.
Very strong images, that are "unusual for a comedy film" declares Veronesi "where in general, sex is ridiculized. We went against the general trend".This scene of passion is one of the most real moments for the new Manuel of Love".
The film, still to arrive in the movie theaters, is causing in Italy quite a stir, even if a bit morbid, of lovers of good comedy films.

Alessandro Dell'Acqua




After seven years of monopolizing the most famous designer fashion labels, finally the fashion system is taking another direction. Overall, the clients have understood that there is something else out there, in that, they have the urge to see and wear innovative dress items, but overall to discover". Alessandro Dell'Acqua, a full-blooded and and passionate Neapoliton, has lived the ups and downs of the Italian fashion system. Today, he had discovered his second professional youth. After the negative experience of having set up his own personal business, in 2003, the Borbonese group acquired 70% of his trademark. This gave the stylist the opportunity to make a large leap forward, being in terms of creativity and of productivity. The latest novelty for this season is the birth of "Alessandro dell'Acqua knitwear", a collection entirely composed of products made of knit or jersey. "The objective is to furnish knitwear in advance, introducing a sort of pre-collection, which also gives the possibility to always offer to stores new proposals". His way of thinking is similar to the philosopy of H&M or Zara, in the search for luxury

Paris style




Designer label dresses of the most famous major stylists are being flaunted (sometimes, "too much", almost touching the boundaries of being kitsch), with the preference of dresses that are "wrap around" by Diane von Furstenberg, fur coats in the peak of summer, sandals and shoes that are rigoursly gold and silver, and unfailing Blackberry carried around like a small handpurse and then karats and then more karats of diamonds on the fingers: this is the style of Paris Hilton, that with her this became an absolute confirmation almost to become a topic for a university degree.To study, to highly praise and why not, copy the right dose of irony.

On the snow with style


It has mainly happened almost to everyone to wear, to proctect one's self from the frost of winter, the classic wind cheather or down coat, so yes, one can feel warmer, but a bit clumsy in one's movements. And let us not forget to mention the style and the sensuality of the so-called eiderdown duvet jackets that simply forget fashion and favor the look of the "Bibendum" Michelin. This winter, however, style and fashion seem to have contaminated even the most classic duvet jackets. Influenced perhaps by the comeback of the spencer and of the hussar short jacket style both are a must of the 2006 winter season, the designer label Moncler has launched a line of jackets and short coats, elegant and unusual which have contributed to forget once and for all the association of the duvet jacket Moncler-paninari ( "paninari" were in the 1980's young persons who only wore designer label clothes and were often seen at sandwich bars in groups). The classic duvet jacket signed Montcler, is changing its skin. Now it has become of an elegant design, made with superior fabrics and embedded precious fittings which characterizes not only the winter collection, but as well as the 2007 spring\summer collection.

The new line of Fiona


Swarovski, in the world of fashion, is the synonym of jewelry, accessories and complements. It is unlikely that you will find them to be the true protagonist, even if they are often utilized to decorate haute couture dresses. Fiona Swarovski, wanted to change this custom: and developed an idea in the Fiona Winter Studio (FES). The end result being a line of sophisticated and elegant dresswear that has as its main protagonist the brilliant glow of the Swarovski crystals. The dominating colors are those preferred by Fiona: Aurora Borealis, Metallic Blue and Crystal Mesh.

The Ladies Night


The parties Ladies Night are literally taking over the Tantra Lounge in New York, and extended themselves to the Vip Room in Paris, to Lady Luck in London, and now for the first time making its appearance, in Milan, and exactly, in the prestigious Moroccan restaurant Yacout located in Via Cadore. It is a night dedicated to all the women who love to have fun, and who love to joke, play around and\or depict their true image. However, do not expect something of these evenings to be in the way of too erotic, nor expect strip-tease of manly dancers or a foray of crazed women that one sees around the town during the 8th of March (in Italy, this date is known as "Woman's Day") or an improbable female "bachelor's party". These evenings are dedicated to the insignia of refinement and chic found in the best Milan lounges.
As in the cases of London, Paris, Berlin and New York, at the Yacout in Milan one can encounter persons of the world of show business and elegant ladies that dictate the rules of Bon Ton.... that are "contemporary"!
