The Icons


While the fashion industry continues to introduce us to new styles every season, the industry would not be where it is today without the help of influential fashion icons. 
Most   of  this   Icons   can  be  found    within the stars  from   the   past   which    had  a   natural  Allure   with   a  personal  input   to  their  style  rather    then   a  “stylist”  creation  .
Their   style   continue  to be references   to   nowadays    fashion,   they  became    “Icons”    .

Where to go ? What to Pack ? Where to stay Cruise

  Cruise on Cruise

A cruise means you can travel to several disparate spots without having to pack and unpack, arrange for multiple forms of transportation and hotels. On a Cruise, it’s as much about the journey as the destination—while your ship is in-between ports of call, there are plenty of on board happening


The   Love  Boat  is  what  made  us  all  fall  in  love with  Cruise vacation ! Please  Netflix take the series  back  on  screen  !!

RRobymoda: A Year in Fashion 2018

RRobymoda: A Year in Fashion 2018: Before    we   start    in  January  with   Summer   2019 let’s    have  a  look  what  happened   in  2018     which  will   also  ...

A Year in Fashion 2018




Before    we   start    in  January  with   Summer   2019 let’s    have  a  look  what  happened   in  2018     which  will   also  influence the   year   to  come  .


While the  Hadid    sisters     Gigi  and  Bella  continue   to  be Model   super  stars ,   and the very  young  Kaia   Gerber daughter  of    “Original  Supermodel “  Cindy  Crawford  continue    her   raising  in  the   industry  , many   changes   happened     during  this  year  .

@Versace   where  her  Mum was a Superstar






So   nice   to  see  on  front row  of Kaia ,  her  Mum   Cindy  Crawford



The way  to  Travel  Cool ? Supreme by Rimowa !!!
Let’s   start   with   biggest  change   of   Chair   this  year ,   Hedi  Slimane replaced    Phobe   Philo  at  Celine   with   great  offence by   British  press   which  is  quite  protective    of  anyone    who  is   British  or   British   label    .   Celine  Summer  19  collection  was   presented   in  Paris     this  September   and    immediately   started    the  polemic      if   the  New   Celine     is   too   similar   to  Saint   Laurent     which    was  totally   revamped   by  Hedi   Simane   while    he   was  Creative   Director   .
Saint  Laurent    now  in  the   hand   of  Anthony   Vaccariello    is  more    feminine ,  the    LA   style    by  Hedi   Slimane   is  more   androgenous , both  the  2   brands   can  prosper because   what   every  day   young  people   like   to  wear   and lets   be  realistic  Fashion  needs   to  talk   to  young  crowd   to  be   successful  .




So  what's   your  opinion ?
I personally  love  it  both !

Virgil   Abloh   became new   Creative    Director   at  Louis   Vuitton  Men’s  wear   while former   Creative   Director  Kim  Jones   moved    Dior .   The   reason   why   we   monitor  this   2   men’s wear  brand   is   that   stealing  from   Boys wardrobe   is    still  on  Trend .
Sportwear  is   really  what   made    2018 ,    trainers   a  go  go  by   every  single   brand  , chunky  trainers popular   in  January  only within  the   more   “ Fashion”  forward   are  in  December   quite common   .
 Cult  Skate    brand   now   Fashion   Superbrand   “ Supreme “ success   does   not  seams  to  be   fading   , at  any time you  pass    nearby  their  shop   there   are  always   long queue   of  people   waiting  to    go  in  . Their   collaboration launched  in  April   with   luggage  brand    Rimowa   sold   out  in   16   seconds  despite   the   price    for  the   smaller   size the   45 liter  version   was  $  1600 .  



Fendi x FILA mashup has been at a high in the fashion world since the pieces debuted during Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, and when  in  October  the  product   finally came   out   was   an  immediate   sensation   with  launch  at  same  time    in many   city  all  over  the   world .
Cycling shorts became an overnight sensation when paired with a sleek suit jacket.
Mixing of   sportwear  pieces    with   tailor   pieces   is  the   Trend .


Dior  Saddle   bag  returned   and became    immediately     “It Bag”, this reborn classic has quickly become a wardrobe hero for a new generation.  
Animal  prints became   timeless   rather   then   kitch, is    basic   part   of  wardrobe    mix   almost  with   everything   from   black   to  colours   and   quite  corky   with  prints .
Tulle   once considered   a  fabric   for   wedding  gowns  is   more   popular  then  ever ,   became “everyday piece  “  to  layer   on  top   of  clothing already  few   season  ago  Seen   by Molly   Goddart   ,  but      got confirmation   and   general   popularity with    Prada  A/W 18  collection  .
Sling back   shoes  have   a great  come  back  ,   maybe   because people    travel    from    country  where    is   winter    to     places   where   is  always  summer  and  this    style  of   shoes  are    chic   and  very  convenient   .
Western   Boots very  stable  strong trend    during    2018   keep    getting    reinvented From Calvin Klein’s squared-toe silhouette to Isabel Marant’s thigh-high pair, or Margiela’s pristine white getup, the extremest interpretations of the Western boot,  which  will   be     very  popular  also      for  summer   2019  .


Colombia   once   isolated    country    is   the   one    to  watch   for   new    brands   and   designers   also   thank  you  Lauren   Santo  Domingo   at  Moda   Operandi ,  At  HIA    we      we   are    very   enthusiastic    of   Colombian    brands  “Cartagena “  was  one  of     top   destination    in  “Where  to  go ? What  to Pack Where  to Stay  “. 

The  not  expensive   Ark  Bamboo   Bag   by   Los  Angeles  label    Cult   Gaia  was  the   media  sensation   for    2018  which  will    found    revamped   for   summer  19   .



Gucci   continue    its    amazing  popularity ,  also   thanks   to   a  collection   which  keep  it  going  between   a  season  and    another ,   decided  homage  France  during  2018  begging  in in January with its pre-autumn/winter 2018 advertising campaign which remembered the May 1968 student protests in the French capital. Then, for the label's cruise 2019 collection Gucci  staged a show at the ancient site of the Promenade Des Alyscamps in Arles, France  to  then   present   Summer   19   in  Paris .
Influencers  still   popular     at  the  begging  of  the   year   seen  their   popularity    fading because     of   too  many    paid    post   with   rather    then  a   real passion    for   fashion and  great  style .  
How   is  going  to  be   2019  ?

Where to go ? What to pack? Where to stay ? Dallas


Versace SS2018   Tribute  to Gianni Versace’s most iconic collections

The    first   things  that  come  up  to   our    mind   when   thinking  of   Dallas  Texas   is   the Ewings   family  from  the   famous  80   Tv Soap Opera . At  the  time   of   J.R  and   family the city had not become the cosmopolitan, metropolitan place it is now – there is the East Coast and West Coast, and Dallas is now referred to as the "Third Coast". It was full of Texans. You walked down the streets and there were more cowboy hats than you could imagine – and people really did wear cowboy boots with their suits."
Most of the oil companies have long gone, moving out in the late Eighties and early Nineties. Dallas, feels like a mini-New York,
 That's not to say there isn't plenty to sate the appetites of a diehard Dallas fan like me, but for genuine cowboy culture you have to venture slightly farther out to the suburbs or nearby Fort Worth, where on some streets it can still feel as though you've wandered on to the set of a western.






What to pack ?
Western-style denim, dark and dressy, has been back on the style radar since it walked down  Raf  Simon's first Calvin Klein catwalk, just over a year ago. 
Then Dior   Resort   18   collection   but  also  the  cowboy  boots seen   at  Louis  Vuitton  made  us   fell   in  Love   with   western   look   and    our   passion   continue   throw  this  summer 18 . We   feel   Stetsons   hat  by  Dior   or   Maison  Michel is  something   we  cannot  live  without  !!  Same as    cowboy boots ,  which  make   even  a    flower   dress    cool .   Belt   is  essetinal  to  get  the     Western    look , Gucci is   one  of   our  favourite   hot  Spot  for  belts, with   GG  7 cm high   belt   be   “WANTED”  (  you  need  to  become  friend   with   people  in  Gucci  store   to  be  shown  it  )   .  Denim  western  cut   shirt   is  also one of the  key  pieces    for  western  style    wardrobe   we  fell   for  the  Saint  Laurent.

Where  to  stay ? 
Rosewood Mansion  at  Turtle   Creek
When Linda Gray and  Larry Hagman filmed Dallas  original series , they stayed at The Mansion on Turtle Creek – close to where the former president George W Bush and his wife, Laura, now live. Built to resemble an Italian palazzo, the mansion is one of a chain of luxury hotels owned by Caroline Rose Hunt, a close friend of Gray's, whose mega-monied oil family is rumoured to have been the inspiration for the Ewings.
