If I were a celebrity, I would be faithful to my favourite brands – Versace, Balenciaga and vintage Halston, of course – so I totally understand the reason why a celebrity wears, over and over again, clothes or accessories by a certain brand. The list of celebrities devoted to some brands is endless – Catherine [...]

Since I was a child I’ve experienced eidetic memory, that is the ability to recall images in memory with extreme accuracy, and this is so much true when it comes to fashion photography. I still have in my memory some gorgeous Valentino velvet rosette dresses I first saw in a Vogue Italia issue in the [...]

On my previous blog I have written about the Cannes Film Festival for many years but now I’ve decided to quit – a lot of days, a lot of interesting outfits to describe but – unfortunately – not so much time to do it. So you won’t find here any red carpet review of the [...]

A status symbol is a visible indicator of social status. Many luxury goods are often considered status symbols – jewellery, cars, clothes and fashion accessories.

This morning, when I first checked the pics from the event, I was [...]
