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 !!
Chanel Resort 18-9 Bag of Desire !!!

minimal chic will never
be out of
style . Chanel constructed

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 .
Bella Hadid seen @Moschino
Gigi Hadid seen @Tomford
The Fashion Sisters !! We cannot have enough of this Californian girls with Middle East blood !
Chanel
Coach
Marc Jacobs
Backstage @MiuMiu
@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 .
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, FrancetothenpresentSummer19inParis .
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 .
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.
Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein
Dior
Gedebe crystal embellished bag
Maison Michel Hat is perfect to get you into Classic Dallas look .
Above 2 dresses by Rodarte styled with Cowboy Boots simply a dream
Gucci 7 gm belt to use on almost everything ..... is a MUST to have .... very difficult to get .... you need to become BF ( Best Friend with people working at Gucci store ) to even get shown this belt, I am quite lucky they adore my @Lolathemalshi .
Will make Cowboy Chic even your Tweed Coat
Maison Margiela Gold Boots ..... speak by themselves
Saint Laurent Denim shirt .... can you live without it ?

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.
2018 celebrate 40 years of Versace . I am totally in love with their summer 2018 Advertising Campaign .
Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace Versace
Gianni Versace is for me unforgettable , He created the Superbrands together with Super Models .
Before Gianni fashion was Lady like , After with Gianni was fun and R&R .
I remember Giorgio Armani saying " Io vesto le Signore , Gianni veste le Puttane " ..... well Girls want to have fun !!!!
I have a great memory of Gianni Versace from my time in Miami .
Versace South Beach stories a book which is part of the revamp of Miami .
When I arrived there first time at the end of 80 Miami was totally different from now , specially South Beach where main resident were the not so wealthy old pensioners average age over 70 +++ ( but anyway cool old people dressing in vibrant colour clothing , so different from Italy where old people were mostly dressed in black ) building were old and decadent , The Raleigh was virtually the only upscale hotel to stay in South Beach.
Was Miami of "Miami Vice ".
Raleigh Hotel Pool was set for many of Versace pictures, one of the most recognisable Swimming Pool ever !
Gianni Versace found himself on the beach-front boulevard Ocean Drive in 1992. In town to visit his sister Donatella, whose then-husband Paul Beck is from nearby Hollywood, Florida, and to attend the opening of a new Versace boutique in Bal Harbour, he had planned to continue on to Cuba. When he discovered South Beach, he cancelled his trip.
The Villa Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive was built in 1930 in Mediterranean Revival style, commissioned by architect Alden Freeman. There is a rumor that during construction a time capsule was hidden in one of the walls Gianni fell in love with it , bought it and totally renewed in his signature Baroque Style . The House is now known as Versace Mansion .
To be invited by Gianni at his " Palazzo " was same as been invited from by a King .
Summer 2018 shoes Saint Laurent , Marc Jacobs, Prada, Dolce&Gabbana , Chanel
Every 6 months
the Fashion pack
move around from
NY to London
, Milan and Paris
to see future
collection , despite look
really glamorous and
it is fashion
weeks attendance is also
very tiring with
show starting every
day at 9
am and in
calendar 1 event
each hour ,
up to at
least 8 pm .Try to attend
all shows, presentations
and events is
impossible there is traffic , and always
something happen to
alt your plan
, last October
for example I
got trapped inside
Hermes office elevator
for about 45
minutes together with
other member of
press , we were
all crying afraid to
miss Miu Miu show .
Well
could not choose
a more glamorous
lift to be
trapped !!!
What's the point to be trapped unless I had memory for my Instagram !😋
In recent years
Street Style took
over and we
now have several “Street Style
Queens”.
Street Style Super Queen Anna Dello Russo which I adore
Some of the
girls start preparing
their wardrobe for
Fashion Week a month
ahead, with more than 5
looks a day with
stylist as support
to loan what just
seen on catwalk
.
The Talented Designer Natasha Zinko together with her son Ivan better know as @Thegoldenfly a young street style sensation .
They will wear
Summer collection despite
freezing condition in February specially in NY
, high heels all
day the average
walk during a day
of Fashion week
is 10 km
a day ( despite
having a driver )
and of course
winter collection in
September when temperature
is still
above 20 degree !!!The style during
fashion week is
Hyper Fashionista ,
dress to appear ,
clashing of prints
and colours ,
nightwear at 10
am all will
help to get
more street style
coverage but this
fashion capitals have
their own style .
The items which
will be on
trend next season
can already be
scout worn by
people at the
shows . The Italian
pack with Giovanna
Battaglia , Anna dello
Russo and Gilda
Ambrosio ( lately one
of my favourite
) , is one
of of the
most popular .
Gilda Ambrosio also known for her brand Attico
Giovanna Battaglia
Gucci last September
was one of the
most Covet brand seen
on fashion pack ,
with Gucci belt
bag as superstar , together with
Chloe “Nile” bag.
The Trench Coat which
is a top
item for coming
season was very
popular during London
Fashion week despite that
week strangely but luckily
did not rain
in London .
We do love
fashion week not
only for what
seen at the
show but also for
the glam of
fashion pack, same
as we do
love the style
of the people
who live in
this fashion capitals .
