The mountain style becomes urban: somewhere between wool and amphibians

Their name is self-explanatory: biking means excursions, and these boots (made for forest rangers) where made to withstand snow, rain and cold.

In the 80’s they were part of the Paninaro “uniform”.

Nowadays trekking ankle boots and “work” boots are also worn in the city: with jeans, with ribbed velvet trousers, leggings and large pullovers.

One must always pay attention to the proportions and gauge tight and large, to balance the boot’s bulkiness.

Between her hat and her stole Simona Izzo looks like a gaucho.

Corrected by the unusual bracket-shaped bag, which she dons as a shield.

Miraculously in shape, despite the recent birth of her 3^rd son, Lenon, at the Festival di Venezia she was the star of a non-competing film, Vallanzasca.

A very disputed file, where she played the role of Antonella D’Agostino, first friend then wife of the handsome René.

A Sevillian, 34 years old, a presence also in director Pedro Almodòvar’s Hable con Ella, she’s one of the queens of Spanish cinema, like Penélope Cruz, whom her brunette beauty brings to mind.

Which also her elegant and spontaneous posture does – which best expresses her sophisticated self-assurance.

The crises has taught of choosing and when one learns to choose, often his taste is refined, he experiments new roads, feels the exhilaration of a new originality that he then cannot renounce.

Piombo tells:

“Large American clients always need a refined product, but not too refined.

A brand that distinguishes itself from the others, without, however losing the ease with which it can be worn, the market needs our product.”

Niche sales are now feeling a quality increase.

Piombo has always gathered ideas and colors from around the world, which he then unites even in irregular pairings.

Gossip Girl’s dark lady hasn’t changed: a perfect example of unwashed charm.

She is the last of Mick Jagger’s heirs to come into the limelight.

 And she comes from a large extended family, because the rock star had seven children from four different women.

 Just turned nineteen, described as a “typical Capricorn with an iron will”, she has decided to become a model.

 Just like her mother, the top model Jerry Hall, drawing attention to herself because of the photographs taken by Patrick Demarchelier last August for Paris Vogue.

 They say she is a hard worker although, due to her age, she has not yet had many chances to prove it. However, she has one clear objective: she has to find the time to finish secondary school.

 Or mommy will get mad.

PIOMBO, THE “LITTLE ONES” LAND IN NEW YORK

Barney’s Corner: it’s the turning point for the niche brand

The winds of men’s fashion are changing (for the better)

Ethiopian Cottons, Turkish terrycloth: The “impure” made in Italy of the fashion designer-businessman

Born in 1989, the Piombo brand now attempts the American adventure.

Massimo Piombo is a fashion designer businessman based in Varazze.

His philosophy is a romantic way of dressing, not standardized, playing with surprising contrasts and on a refined but wearable aspect

A style of a young, sophisticated man – precise and attentive to combinations – and a little snobbish, who however, has little to share with the extremes of certain dandy-types, always in the front row at the fashion shows.

The invitation to Barney’s is the proof that something in men’s clothing is changing.

That’s how the business commitment in the company campaigns, the packaging in recycled materials, recycled materials being used ever more often, the collaboration in Italy with the Legambiente (Environmentalists) and contact with Greenpeace.

“An Italian, Giuseppe Veronesi, understood our family brand better than we, who had invented it, had.

The legend of the America of the woodsman, of wide open spaces, of nature, translated into Italian fashion cities of the Paninari ”

That’s the great story of Timberland, magic – which still continues.

The day the starlet Carolina Marconi will decide to wear a turtleneck sweater, we will not recognize her.

But seeing her scanty tunic, those days are far away.

If you think fashion is only about the young and that stylists are increasingly more fascinated with the tender age, it’s time you changed your mind.

 All you have to do is look at the most famous actress of Italian cinema to understand that line, colour and confident elegance are dedicated to whoever possesses the freshness to understand them, be they twenty or seventy.

 Sophia looks great for her age, making no mistakes, neither in detailing nor in proportion: beginning with her heels, which highlight her graceful walk by being neither too high (they would look ridiculous), nor too low (as we are wont to choose in order to be more comfortable).
