There was a time when fashion journalists and stylists were invisible beings, who only worked behind the scenes of photoshoots and social events. All the media attention was for the models on the runway and celebrities on the red carpet, but no one knew who was the author of articles on fashion magazines or the [...]

I love summer music festivals, because I think there’s nothing better than having fun, listening to music and staying outdoors. Since the birth of my daughter I’ve never been to live concerts (shame on me), but if I could, I would surely go to Pilton Farm for the Glastonbury Music Festival, just to enjoy the [...]

I must admit I was not surprised when I knew about Michael Jackson’s death. I was sorry but not surprised. He lived the last twenty years of his life on the edge and the constant, worrying news about his health were supposed to lead to this sad end. I’m sure this moment will mark the [...]

I was quite worried when I read, some weeks ago, of the possible departure of Karl Lagerfeld from Chanel. The rumour – thank God – has been dismissed by the Parisian maison, but it gave me the chance to think about a future for Chanel without him. Nowadays there are lots of young, talented and [...]

In psychology, filial imprinting is a process in which a young animal or person learns the characteristics and the behaviours of its parents. If I think about my relation with make-up, I guess something has gone wrong in the imprinting phase. My mother has never ever worn make-up, but I have loved all things related [...]

As a girl born in the mid Seventies, I’ve grown up watching Japanese cartoons and American series on tv. As a romantic girl, I’ve always loved series with at least one love story in the plot, and I still enjoy stories which include love skirmishes. For this reason, here is the top five of my [...]
We’re Plastic but We Still Have Fun

I’m not a Lady GaGa fan and I think I’ll never be: her pop music, though strongly influenced by David Bowie and the Queen, is not appealing to me; her avant-garde sense of fashion is extremely interesting, but I don’t like her trying too hard to catch the media’s attention and to shock. I’m not [...]
Look Back in Topanga

It’s not a secret: I’ve always loved Seventies’ style, for the overall mood dominating fashion in those years, for the huge technical and visual innovations that were introduced and for the unforgettable designers who became big in that decade (just think of Halston and Yves Saint Laurent). This is the reason why I was so [...]
When in Sorrento…

When I first saw Emilio Pucci spring/summer 2009 advertising campaign, I knew I couldn’t be mistaken: Juergen Teller is the one who shot the beautiful series of pics you can see below. The quality of the images, the peculiar lighting, the striking yet subtle contrast of colours are recurring features in Teller’s work, which is [...]
