Fashion news: the Louis Vuitton speaker clutch and other news
Louis Vuitton in music
Covered in logoed leather, with a spinning top silhouette
and strap, the Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up speaker looks nothing like a
normal speaker. Yet its original shape, which is inspired by the Toupie bag,
offers precise acoustic (and design) advantages: with the sound reproducible in
360 degrees or in one direction. Compact as a fashion accessory, but high-tech.
Valentino Garavani's chunky boots
This winter the boots go like this: bold and with a chunky
sole. Valentino also embraces the trend. But hers is a couture version of the
military model. Here the romantic touch of the maison's famous rose motif, with
hand-applied flowers, finds new expression on the Valentino Garavani Atelier Boots
: they define the silhouette with 200 waterproof petals, in 3D printed rubber.
JW Anderson's vision
One is the British designer among the most acclaimed on the
fashion scene. The other is the centenary brand symbol of Italian excellence.
JW Anderson meets Persol. New interpretations of the 649 and 0009 eyewear are
born: reread through the creative spectrum of bright colors and with an eco
eye, in recycled acetate.
United Colors of Benetton and history in a T-shirt
A portrait of Marylin. A sailor's kiss to his beloved. A dog
with his head out the window. The most iconic photos of the last century come
to life on United Colors of Benetton garments and shoppers . The initiative was
created to celebrate LIFE, the American weekly that from 1883 to 1972 captured
the evolution of society and customs with its images, collaborating with some
of the greatest photographers of the time, such as Robert Capa, Margaret
Bourke-White and Henri Cartier-Bresson. The black and white photo prints,
together with the LIFE logo, stand out on solid color t-shirts and sweatshirts
for adults and children, in organic cotton.
The hidden minutes of Van Cleef & Arpels
THE ALHAMBRA SECRET PENDANT WATCH IN THE WORKSHOPS
Hidden in the center of the emblematic four-leaf clover
motif, it beats time by Van Cleef & Arpels . The watch is revealed as
desired: just slide a treasure chest of precious stones.
Salvatore Ferragamo, bio
The future of fashion? The new materials with low
environmental impact. Salvatore Ferragamo is an example of this , making his debut with Responsible Eyewear
Collection, a line of eyewear in Acetate RenewTM (a mix of vegetable and
recycled plastics) and with organic lenses. Derived from castor oil.
Lardini, style addresses
There is a new temple of womenswear in Milan. The Lardini
flagship store in Via Gesù (until now only for men) dedicates an entire floor
to women's clothing. Welcome jackets, trench coats and tailored dresses for her
(in the photo, a suit A / W 21-22). Wide lapels, strong stitching, flared
trousers and color open the dance. And they define the new collection with a
70s taste.
Delvaux, city in the palm
Pocket ambassadors of creativity and style, Delvaux
Miniatures go around the world. Symbol of the Belgian Maison's savoir-faire,
the mini bags pay homage to countries and metropolises where the brand is “at
home”. In fine leather, handmade by master craftsmen who experiment with
techniques such as screen printing and embossing. To show off and to collect.
Giovanni Raspini and the place of wonders
An Italian success story. A story that intertwines ancient
and contemporary beauty, articulated between frescoed halls and cellars. The
Palazzo dei Topi d'Argento opens in Monte San Savino, in Tuscany, a new
creative space by Giovanni Raspini : "A place to settle down and exhibit
the most beautiful things done in fifty years of career", explains the
founder of the jewels. A place that is at the same time atelier, laboratory and
exhibition venue, conceived as a "Renaissance workshop of encounter and
collaboration, a forge for new talents".
Casket of treasures, each room is a sort of wunderkammer
where you can admire the most special pieces made by the Maison and works of
art designed for the occasion. “A place to bring friends, clients, journalists
and visitors. To show that it still makes sense to work and produce in Italy ”.
Tudor, the hour of bronze
Inspired by the diving watches of the 50s, in bronze, as the
alloy of the first diving expeditions, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight Tudor
boasts a unique look: the case, over time, is covered with a light patina,
different depending on who wears it.
Pasquale Bruni and color
Purple quartzite is said to have soothing properties. Thanks
to its intense color that reminds us of fragrant lavender fields. And if it is
combined with gold and diamonds, as in Pasquale Bruni's Petit Joli Lavanda
jewels, then the effect is maximum.
Chicca Lualdi, softly chic
Leisurewear, the watchword of contemporary fashion. For those
who, after getting used to the lockdown uniform, have no intention of giving up
practicality and comfort. Stylists run for cover: knitted dresses and suits are
the new must-have, as in the autumn / winter 21-22 capsule collection by Chicca
Lualdi . A neutral palette and lots of cashmere reign here (photo above). It's
the new relaxed elegance. Made in Italy.
