5 a day


 Last  year   around  May  time  I  decided   that   I  had   to  loose  weight,   I   was  born  in  Italy, where   from  February   on  you  always   think  about  diet   for   the  bikini   test  !!!  Rome  is  quite  close  to  the  beach  so   from  end   of  April  you  can    start  to  sun  tan  . 
After  Rome  I did  live in   Miami, where  is  summer  all year  around  and   there   is  very   important    to  be  fit  and  look  good  !!
+ I  did move  to Miami   because   I  was   crazy  in  love  with a blond  hair blue  eyes   super  sporty guy.  Life  in  Miami   include   at  least   2   hours  spent  doing  sport   .
Wearing  the  latest    stuff  is  not  so  important  in  Miami  but  look  good   and  be fit  is  .

Here  in  London  where  I now  live  for  quite  few   years ,   dressing  well  and  wearing  latest  items  is important ,  but  not  easy  when   you  surrounded by  candy   snack  .
But   as  said   I  took  the  decision   I  had  to  be  slim  so ,  started  a  diet   based   on  eating healthy ,   with  lots  of  fruits  and  vegetables .

Yes  Karl Lagerfeld   is  right " Fashion is  the Healthiest motivation for  losing weight ".
When  I  go  to  supermarket   now  I  focus   on  fruits  ,  and   each package   says  1 of  5 ! 

As  is  important    to  have   at  least   5 within  fruit  and   vegetable   every  day  !!! 

Here   some  of  my  favourite   fruits    for   summer   2015 !
Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana  MUST  TO  HAVE  Platform

Cuff   dream  bracelet by Lynda  Cortteille  .....   her  shop  is  one  of  my  favourite place  in  Paris !

Shoes  by  Rene Caovilla    fun  to  wear   with a  pair  of  black Capri  trousers

Stella Jean .... incredible  to  think  she   started  at  Alta  Moda   Roma , like   her   shapes  and  love  her sense of  style !

Necklace   by  Santagostino  Gioelli ,  a   Boutique   brand  made  near   Venice  in  Italy ,  their  pieces  are  wonderful  I   will  add  more   images  in  the next  few  days

Ciao
Roberta  
P.s.   do  not  forget   to  get  5  a  day !

Fashion Victim or Victim of Fashion ?

Feb.  11th    2014
I  am   in  London  as   I  had  to   finish   to work  on  my  photo   shoots  , prior   starting      of  London   shows  ,     at  main  time  N.Y.  fashion  week  already  started  showing  winter  2014-15   ,  from  time    to  time  I   try   to have  a  look   what  is   happening  at  the  shows    there ,   but  then  I   give  up    to     keep   my  focus  on   Summer  14  which   I  am  still  shooting   .
By  chance   I   had   a  look   at  some  pictures  from  Street  Style ,  “The  Sartorialist “ and   friends   are  very  active   during  fashion  weeks  .
In  New  York   the   temperature   are   below  zero   for   quite  few   weeks  already ,    some   days    below   13  !!!
Apparently    Fashion  Editors  are   in  the   last few seasons the   new  “Divas” , and    PR  ,   trying  to    get  as  many   of  them    dressed     for   the  fashion   week  events    .
Carrie  from  Sex  and   City  “ Fashion Editor secret Icon",  playing  with   contrast  ,  exclusive  items ,  and  “more  is more”  is  generally   the   style   to  get   more   Street  style  Cover  attentions  .   Anna  Dello   Russo     is “The Super Diva” of  them    all   followed    by    her   protege’  Giovanna  Battaglia , and  the  Petit   Russian  Bilionaresse  Miroslava  Duma .
The  “Fashionista “ street  style  seen  around  at  this  week  around   shows  in  NY   is , is  pastel  colours,    no  tights   ,   or  socks   ,   with    Thin   high    heel   shoes   despite   still  a  lot   of   snow   in  the  “Big  Apple “  streets “ summer   fashion    showing     a  go  go  !!    But   Fendi  Fur bags  are    a  hit  , as   keep   the  Mobile   phone   warm  !     Winter    collection  was    already  worn   by  the  same   girls  in  September   for     previous   Fashion   weeks  Tour  when   was   +   24   degree  !!!
Long  life   to Scott "The Sartolist "  and  Garance Dore   "The  Obama  from Fashion " !
Tomorrow  there  maybe   a  tube  strike   in  London  ,   I  still   cannot   found  a  car  to  take  me   to  my  shoots  .... I   have   10    bridal   gowns   to   take  from   HIA   office   to   the  photographic   studio  and  I   rather    keep   looking   for  a   Van  to   take  me  and   all  the  gowns  there   .... as   I   cannot walk  for   for   over   5   miles  in Louboutin  shoes  !!!!

Are Fashion Editors the new style Icons ?

I   really  missing  running  of  this  blog   but  in  the  last  few  months   I  have  been    working  no  stop  on    one  shoot  after  another   .
Above   one  of   the   video  backstage  from  accessories   shoot  I  done   for   HIA  magazine   March  issue .
Which  one  is   me  ?  I  am   actually  the person  behind   the  lent  (  either  if  I  am  not   filming )  and   I  feel   as   a  Fashion  Editor   I  must  be   private   .
At  present   at  the  show the  focus  is  more   prior entering  the venue   as   the  catwalk  images are  immediately on line .    
Street   style  vs Catwalk  ? , I  am  really  getting   Obsessed   with    the look  of  Russian  Bilionaress   it  girls  particularly  Mioslava   Duma    ,  Elena  Perminova  and  Ulyana  Sergeenko .

Italian Anna   Dello  Russo is  now  an  international  celebrity, everyone  like  to  dress  her , know what  she  is  wearing ,  do a  product  collaboration  with  her    but  do  people   remember   her  amazing  styling  done   for  Italian  Vogue ? 

Giovanna   Battaglia   is   always   a  Street Style   front  Icon   ,  while   her mother  in  Law   the  super  talent  Carine  Roitfield    muse   of  Tom  Ford    does  generally    keep private , and   keep  her   looks  understated  .

Elsa  Nalin  I  have  no  clue   who  she   work   for   but   her   clash mix  dressing  with  designer clothing  made  her  another  Icon  for  street  style    .

Caroline  Issa   seams  to  be  everywhere ,   and   remind  everyone that    experimental  magazine  Tank   where  she   is  Fashion  Director is   still   out  on  newstand .

Kim  Hersow   still  very   much a  muse   for   Harper  Bazaar   UK  with  her  "Cool Park Avenue Princess " style  . ( industry   used  to  joke on  Harpers & Kim ) .

So  what  do  you  think  are  Fashion  Editors  the  new  Style  Icons  ?

Is all about Girls

I    was   missing   running  of  this   blog  ,  but  been     shooting   for    HIA   no  stop  in  the  last    3   weeks ,  and  is  never    easy  when   the   show  are     happening  .

Today   is  my  first  day   free  and   I  was  looking  at   facebook . If   anyone  of  you  like  to  follow  me  there ,  I  do  update   the  page  almost  every  day  here  the  link :
http://www.facebook.com/pages/RRobymoda/304854009595740?ref=hl

On facebook  saw  a   picture  posted    from  my  friend   RodRick   who  is  a   very  famous   show  producer   from  paris   and   was  saying   " Is  all  about  girls "   .

I  am really  happy  to  see  this,  and    to  notice   that   on  the  catwalk  this   season there   are    girls   with  more   individuality .  In  the    last  few  years Russel  Marsh London casting  director  supremo   decided    to  cast   girls   all    look very   similar  and  in  his  offices   girls    had  also  head    to  be  measured   .
All      to  look    a  bit  like little   Robot   so  that  that  the clothing of  the  designer  could  be the  only  focus  .

I first  adapeted   myself   to  the      concept   specially   when  I  was  styling  Manish  Arora   whose  clothing  have a  lot  of  individuality ,  then  as   member  of  press  sitting  at  the  show    I  got   very  bored  of   girls  all  same .   Girls    stay   on  the  catwalk  long  enough   for   us  to  see  the  look anyway .

Fashion  is  about  individuality ,  a  different   way  of   wearing  either    the  same    garment ,  which  can  be    styled  and   restyled  in   so  many    different   ways .  I   think  this   is  why   we  all   getting  so  obsessed   with  Street  style  pictures   .

Fashion  at  present   is  a  bit  more lifestyle ,  all   must  be  wearable ,    big   Drama   show  are  not  happening  .   So  Models    casting   is   back    to   individual .   I  miss   John   Galliano    like   many   people   in  the  business ,  his   collections    where   amazing  and   the   show   a   real  SHOW   which  made  a   difference   between  who    was  privileged  to  be   sitting  there  and    who  watched   from  style.com  !!!!

Now  real    Super show   at  the  catwalk  is  only  done   by  Anna  dello  Russo  which  I  Adore  ,  and    I  am  really   waiting  for  her  H&M   collection    to  be   out !!!




Let's   see    who   are     the   new  Super  models   coming  out   after    the   4   weeks   of   SS  13   shows    .

And   now ....   enjoy   some  Fashion  shower  !!!!!

Georgina you Rock !!!!





Today I was flipping throw the pages of winter edition of style.com which I absolutely love
 In time when everyone talks about magazine soon stopping printing and just going on line , amazing  to see that 2  concepts which started on line such as style.com and net-a-porter.com now becoming  so popular that   needed   to  also go print !

Omg I am doing it again  I wonted to talk about Giorgina and got lost !.... 

Anyway I was reading style the pages on Giorgina and how she is queen of L.A. Red carpet catwalk , I think she deserve it by her own right and not by marriage .  
I   adore    Harvey   is a  men    with    an  amazing   personality ,  with   always   new   ideas,  someone   you  never    get   bored   with . I  would    not    have   image  her    married   to  a  Male Model  .
 Her gowns produced under Marchesa label she  created  her  friend  Karen  Craig are a dream , on superstar on red carpet or to big  Ball events and wedding ,  as   a  guest  or   as Main   Star  "  Bride ".
I remember working with Giorgina for a  magazine photo shoot about  about 13 years  ago ( i will try to look for the pictures and post it on this blog ) , she was a lovely model and I remember she took on the the shoot a corset she was working on as school work , and she was working on it while she was getting hair and make up done . I remember to be really impressed from what she show me .   But    same  time   told  her   how   difficult   was   to  succeed   in  fashion,   and    thinking   the  courage    to  go  back   to  school ,  while    she     was   already   doing  well  as   model  . 

Work   on  what   you  believe  !!!! 

Georgina  you    Rock  !!!!!















Above   some  looks  from  Marchesa a/w 12-13  .
