Settimana della moda
Pret a porter donna
di Cristian Pedrazzini

Dopo Parigi, New York e Londra, riflettori puntati fino al 28 febbraio sulla fashion week di Milano, che metterà in campo i grandi nomi della moda italiana, ma anche un bel numero di designers emergenti. Una sferzata di vigore necessaria in un momento di crisi come quello attuale, che non ha risparmiato di certo i settori moda-tessile, per i quali, come ha ricordato qualche giorno fa Mario Boselli, presidente della Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), "le previsioni per 2012 destano qualche preoccupazione".
La moda italiana porterà in scena nel cuore della città, che apre alle sfilate anche il Castello Sforzesco, 137 collezioni, 72 sfilate con tutti i grandi nomi del made in Italy, 53 presentazioni di marchi, 17 su appuntamento. Cuore pulsante della kermesse il quadrilatero del centro di Milano che comprende Palazzo Giureconsulti, Palazzo Clerici, Circolo Filogico e Castello Sforzesco, dove oltre alle sfilate di John Richmond domani, di Barocco il 23 febbraio, di C'n'c Costume National il 24, di Byblos il 26 e dei giovani di New Upcoming Designers e Next Generetion in chiusura il 28 febbraio, il 25 febbraio si terrà anche una sfilata dei costumi del musical Priscilla-La regina del deserto, disegnati da Tim Chappel e Lizzy Gardiner. Oggi, alla vigilia della manifestazione, un gruppo di 11 giovani designer è stato invitato dalla Fondazione Gianfranco Ferré a presentare cover speciali per un magazine di ricerca, il semestrale Pizza, al suo quarto numero, ispirato al lavoro di Gianfranco Ferré. Chiara Boni presenta invece nello studio di Lucio Fontana 21 ritratti di donne rappresentative del "Nuovo volto di Milano multietnica", che indossano la sua nuova collezione di petit robe. Tra le signore: la scrittrice Camilla Baresani ed Elisabetta Sgarbi, sorella del critico Vittorio, una ristoratrice cinese da tre generazioni a Milano e una costumista teatrale siberiana. La manifestazione aprirà domani con le pellicce di Simonetta Ravizza. Seguiranno Gucci, Alberta Ferretti, Richmond, N.21, Francesco Scognamiglio e Sergio Zambon in chiusura. Ma oltre al fitto calendario ufficiale sono previste anche alcune inevitabili sfilate off. Tra queste, domani, sono in programma Kristina Ti al Museo della Permanente e nella sede della Fondazione Pomodoro, Elena Mirò con le sue donne curvy, rappresentate da Carrie Otis, fresca di autobiografia. Domani aprirà anche la prima boutique Vionnet a Milano, 220 mq in corso Monforte, nel quartiere del design, mentre Courreges presenterà la sua nuova collezione assieme a una capsule di capi iconici, e i suoi nuovi a.d., Jacques Bungert e Frederic Torloting illustreranno il piano di rilancio della griffe. Il 23 febbraio sfileranno Max Mara, Blugirl, Fendi, Ermanno Scervino, Rocco Barocco, Krizia, Jo No Fui, Daniela Gregis, Prada, Maurizio Pecoraro e Anteprima. Il 24 toccherà a Moschino, 2012 Les Copains, Etro, Just Cavalli, C'n'c Costume National, Iceberg, Blumarine, Gabriele Colangelo, Marco De Vincenzo, Aigner, Versace in chiusura. Il 25 febbraio sarà la volta di Bottega Veneta, Emporio Armani, Mila Schon, Sportmax, Jil Sander, Silvio Betterelli, Massimo Rebecchi, Antonio Marras, Ter et Bantine, Emilio Pucci. Genny è off. Il 26 apre Marni. Seguono Trussardi, Biagiotti, Dolce & Gabbana, Byblos, Missoni, Frankie Morello, Salvatore Ferragamo, Aquilano Rimondi, Roberto Musso e Versus. Il 27 tocca a Dsquared2, Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Gianfranco Ferré, Normaluisa, Alviero Martini 1 classe, Lorenzo Riva. Il 28 chiudono Chicca Lualdi Beequeen, Cristiano Burani, i giovani al Castello Sforzesco, le new entry Sergei Grinko e Basharatyan V.

Armani Casa conquista Mumbai

Un progetto prestigioso per le "World Towers"

di Lucia Maietti

Al via un nuovo progetto per Giorgio Armani: progettare l'interior design delle residenze delle "World Towers" di Mumbai. Le torri, dalla forma ricurva, unica nel suo genere, offriranno un'esclusiva esperienza e una vista mozzafiato. Situate proprio nel centro di Bombay, nella prestigiosa area del "Lodha Place", un incontro di lusso, cultura e bellezza contemporanea, le World Towers conterranno soluzioni abitative moderne e ricercate. Questo è il primo progetto realizzato dall' Interior Design Studio Armani/Casa in Asia, ed è caratterizzato da un look moderno, elegante e molto indiano. E sì, perchè gli interni sono perfettamente integrati nella cultura dell'India, all'insegna del comfort e della funzionalità, segni distintivi proprio della visione di Girgio Armani del design.< "Così allo stile di Armani/Casa in questa straordinaria città ho voluto dare un gioco di luce, un tocco unico. Dall'incontro con questo straordinario Paese, posso dire che in qualche modo ne sono uscito cambiato". Parola di Giorgio Armani. Un "Passaggio in India" all'insegna dello stile e dell'eleganza più ricercata.

Il ritocco Gli italiani si indebitano

Il ritocco

Gli italiani si indebitano

di Antonio Galluzzo e Lucia Maietti

Non c'è crisi che tenga quando si tratta del proprio corpo. Sono infatti oltre 1.000 gli italiani che ogni mese richiedono un finanziamento per pagarsi i trattamenti estetici. Il 56% sono uomini, mentre le donne sono il 44%. Hanno un età media di 40 anni, il 53% sono dipendenti privati, ma il 15% è rappresentato da tre categorie colpite dalla crisi: pensionati, disoccupati e casalinghe. La cifra media richiesta è pari a 9.200 euro, che gli irriducibili del bisturi mirano a rimborsare in cinque anni (59 mesi). A fotografare il fenomeno è la ricerca di Prestiti.it, broker online per il confronto prestiti. "E, complice la possibilità di dilazionare i pagamenti - avverte la nota di Prestiti.it - sono in aumento le richieste per trattamenti di ogni genere". Nell'analisi delle richieste di finanziamento elaborata da Prestiti.it, emerge oltre all'importo medio delle domande, di 9.200 euro, come gli interventi sia più di medicina estetica, piuttosto che semplici trattamenti. Infatti secondo il borker online "una rinoplastica, costa dai 4.000 agli 8.000 euro, un intervento al seno dai 6.000 ai 10.000 euro, un trapianto di capelli dai 3.000 ai 7.000 euro".
A richiedere l'anticipo del capitale per migliorare il proprio aspetto sono soprattutto dipendenti privati (53%) e liberi professionisti (12%), ma il ritocchino seduce anche anche pensionati, disoccupati e casalinghe, che rappresentano ben il 15% del campione totale. I dipendenti pubblici sono invece l'11% del totale. "L'attitudine al credito al consumo - afferma Marco Giorgi- è ormai conclamata e non sorprende più vedere come gli italiani ricorrano a prestiti personali anche per gestire la cura del sé. Se l'importo medio rilevato dalla nostra analisi - prosegue - è piuttosto elevato, vuol dire che si opta per il finanziamento con l'idea di scegliere trattamenti particolarmente costosi, che magari sarebbe difficile pagare in contanti".

Interamente made in Italy, richiede cinque ore di lavorazione per l'applicazione manuale di 16 fiori di rafia e di 3 metri di frange, sempre in rafia.

Il nuovo must-have sarà in vendita in tutte le boutique monomarca a partire da febbraio.

Milan has joined the ranks of Paris and Tokyo as a fashion capital of the world, and with very good reason. Here you can find whatever your heart desires, from fine Italian leather to second-hand clothing to precious gems and more. Naturally, some places are more renowned for shopping than others. Here are the top places to hit for travelers' with all budgets.
Corso Buenos Aires
Beginning at Milan Central Station it's a short walk to the southeast to reach the Corso Buenos Aires, one of the longest streets in Europe that is packed with locals and foreigners searching for fabulous buys. On this street you can find shops such as Timberland, Nara Camice and Mandarina Duck alongside fabulous Gelateria's that are perfect for a quick refreshment while you're window shopping. As you continue southwest along this street, it becomes Corso Venezia and then Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Vittorio Emanuele is lined with shops such as Max Mara, Pollini, H&M, Zara, and Bruno Magli. As you continue down you will see the Milan Cathedral, and, reaching the Piazza, will see the world famous Rinascente. The Rinascente is the oldest 'department store' in the world, and certainly the most tasteful. Filled with top end stores and containing a seven star hotel above the shops, this enclosed area is fabulously decorated with Italian art, and all shops are tastefully done in browns and beiges (even McDonald's, though how they got a spot in the Rinascente is a mystery).
Montenapoleone
You can then head up to the Montenapoleone area, just a few minutes walk northeast. Here you will find the most famous shopping area in Milan. On the Via Montenapoleone you can find Gucci, Versace, Prada, Valentino, Luis Vuitton, Cartier and more. High-end shoppers will be in their element. Crossing the Montenapoleone is the Via Sant'Andrea, containing the likes of Chanel, Armani, Hermés and Trussard. And crossing the Andrea is the Via della Spiga where you can find Dolce & Gabbana, Sergio Rossi, Tod's, Bulgari, and Gianfranco Ferré. Finally, the Via Manzoni contains the Spazio Armani where you can browse the showrooms, Armani house, and have a coffee at the Armani cafe. (Construction was ongoing in July 2009.)
Corso di Porta Ticinese
For those whose tastes run a bit more casual, you can instead head southwest from the Duomo, traveling down Via Torino to browse through stores like Footlocker, Levi's and Camper. The Torino then becomes the Corso di Porta Ticinese, an alternative street filled with younger shoppers looking for fabulous finds in places like Custo-Barcellona, Diesel, Gas and Miss Sixty. Interspersed among these are second-hand shops, silk shops and handmade clothing stores.
Regardless of where your budget and tastes lie, be sure to enter each shop with a friendly 'buongiorno' and take your leave with a 'grazie' and 'ciao.'

Via Montenapoleone
Edit This
Milan is a fashion and design capital, and so no visit to the city would be complete without a walk through its fashion district. While there are actually streets with more expensive and exclusive fashion shops in Milan, the Via Montenapoleone is world famous for the place to be seen in the fashion world. This is the street all the best shops, and the best dressed shoppers, want to be and be seen by the world. Here, and in many of the streets branching off it, you can find the most expensive items of clothing from Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, more..

L'eleganza di Valentino a Firenze Al Pitti Uomo una sfilata all'insegna dell'eleganza

L'eleganza di Valentino a Firenze

Al Pitti Uomo una sfilata all'insegna dell'eleganza

di Lucia Savino

E' un evento, non solo una sfilata. E' la prima volta che l'uomo Valentino, disegnato da Pier Paolo Piccioli e Maria Grazia Chiuri, sfila a Firenze, proprio durante il Pitti, il luogo in cui debuttò, nella sala bianca, proprio monsieur Valentino. Ma torniamo alla moda: è un omaggio al cinema italiano, nel segno di un'eleganza ineguagliabile, ma ricercata per sè stessi, non per gli altri, e di una "mascolinità" contemporanea. Le silhouette sono anni '60, ma il guardaroba è assolutamente contemporaneo. La sartorialità è ovviamente uno dei tratti distintivo di questo uomo, in pieno stile Valentino.

La moda sposa il cinema Passione per la creatività

La moda sposa il cinema
Passione per la creatività
di Cristian Pedrazzini
"La disponibilità di Louis Vuitton a sostenere le nostre attività e i nostri studenti ci riempie d'orgoglio. Sapere che esistono ancora dei soggetti importanti che, come nel cinema, fanno dell'alta artigianalità e sostengono le nostre iniziative è importante". Così Marcello Foti, direttore generale del Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, questa mattina alla presentazione a Roma della partnership triennale siglata con la celebre maison a sostegno dei progetti di formazione della Scuola Nazionale di Cinema. "Vorrei sottolineare che la stessa Louis Vuitton ha anteposto a qualsiasi interesse commerciale l'attenzione sui risultati finali che raggiungeremo. Cosa non certo scontata di questi tempi", aggiunge Foti. A rappresentare l'azienda francese c'era Geoffrey van Raemdonck, Presidente dell'area Sud Europa, che spiega i motivi della partnership: "Con il Centro condividiamo la passione per la creatività, valore alla base del lavoro artigianale. Il nostro marchio è da sempre vicino al mondo del cinema: oggi inauguriamo uno store a Roma, là dove esisteva il cinema Etoile, il più antico della capitale. Abbiamo voluto la location proprio per far rivivere l'esperienza cinematografica".
"Per quanto riguarda i progetti avviati con Foti e il Centro -continua van Raemdonck- Louis Vuitton si impegna a istituire delle borse di studio per aiutare gli studenti più meritevoli. Inoltre, verranno avviati laboratori tematici di specializzazione: quest'anno saranno dedicati ai costumi del 1600 e affidati a uno dei più grandi costumisti, Piero Tosi. Infine, verrà costituito un comitato onorario che svolgerà attività di tutoring e promozione dei giovani talenti della Scuola.
A margine dell'incontro è stato anche proiettato, in anteprima, il documentario 'Handmade' (Fatto a mano), realizzato dalla giornalista Laura Delli Colli e Guido Torlonia, per la regia di quest'ultimo, che racconta la grande tradizione italiana degli artigiani che lavorano per il cinema nel campo del set design, del trucco e i costumi. "Con questo progetto intendevamo valorizzare tutte quelle professionalità invisibili che partecipano a film premiati con l'Oscar", ha spiegato Delli Colli.
"Siamo partiti da una foto di backstage, che ritrae la giovane Chiara Mastroianni sul set col padre -racconta il regista- e abbiamo cercato di restituire un racconto emozionale su quegli straordinari artigiani che il mondo ci invidia e che da anni costituiscono un'eccellenza, realizzando scenografie e costumi che spesso rimangono nella storia del cinema. Il documentario esalta proprio la dimensione di "handmade" ed è dedicato a loro".
Presente alla proiezione anche Luchino Visconti di Modrone, produttore del documentario per la Enormous Film: "Quando abbiamo proposto il progetto alla Louis Vuitton sapevamo di condividere con la maison valori e passioni comuni: inoltre ci è stata lasciata grande libertà e ci ha sempre sostenuto. Sono poche, oggigiorno, le aziende illuminate che si dedicano, spesso in mancanza di fondi pubblici, al sostegno del cinema e della cultura in generale".

MODA. VOGUE FASHION'S NIGHT OUT TORNA A MILANO PER IL TERZO ANNO
CONSECUTIVO
Milano, 14 luglio 2011 - Dopo il grande successo del 2009 e del 2010, il
Comune di Milano e Vogue Italia hanno presentato oggi a Palazzo Morando
l’edizione 2011 della Vogue Fashion’s Night Out il prossimo 8 settembre.
L’evento, organizzato da Vogue Italia in collaborazione con il Comune di
Milano, vuole avvicinare il mondo della moda al grande pubblico, creando
un'occasione di incontro con gli stilisti e i principali protagonisti del
fashion. È un'iniziativa di respiro internazionale, che coinvolge ogni anno
un numero sempre crescente di Paesi: dagli Stati Uniti alla Russia, dalla
Cina alla Corea.
L’8 settembre sarà quindi una data speciale non solo per gli appassionati
di shopping, ma per tutti coloro che vorranno vivere la propria città sotto
una luce completamente diversa, grazie agli eventi e alle mostre che
animeranno le principali vie del centro. Scenari della manifestazione
saranno il famoso quadrilatero della moda - da via Montenapolene a via
Manzoni, da via della Spiga a corso Venezia - e l'intero quartiere di Brera
- che per l’occasione sarà animato in ogni via da musica classica, jazz e
dj set - già protagonisti delle scorse edizioni. Grazie al contributo di
Trenord la musica sarà protagonista anche nella stazione di Cadorna ed in
Piazza S.Babila dove si alterneranno live performance di band, espressioni
di generi musicali diversi. Quest’anno saranno coinvolti nella Vogue
Fashion’s Night Out anche corso Vercelli, via Belfiore e corso Genova.
Dalle ore 19.00 alle 23.30, in queste zone i negozi resteranno aperti e
sarà possibile incontrare stilisti, modelli e redattori di Vogue e
Vogue.it, che daranno ai visitatori suggerimenti di stile per il loro
shopping. Allestimenti ad hoc nei punti vendita, cocktail party, concerti e
mostre faranno da cornice a questo appuntamento attesissimo, che ogni anno
vede migliaia di persone invadere gli oltre 600 negozi aperti nelle strade
della città.
Tutte le più importanti griffe aderiranno all'evento, da Armani a Zegna, da
Moschino a Tod's; e non mancheranno le più rinomate boutiques cittadine tra
cui Banner, Biffi, Pupi Solari, 10 Corso Como e i corner store di
Rinascente, Coin ed Excelsior-Mi.
Molte griffe realizzeranno un oggetto speciale in limited edition firmato
VFNO, il cui ricavato sarà utilizzato per finanziare l’intervento di
recupero e valorizzazione di una cascina milanese. I proventi dell'edizione
2010 sono stati invece devoluti a favore della realizzazione e sistemazione
del giardino pubblico del Villaggio Barona. In particolare, l’edizione 2011
offre per la prima volta la possibilità di acquistare in anteprima le
t-shirt ufficiali Vogue Fashion's Night Out, realizzate con materiale
ecosostenibile.
Per offrire ulteriori occasioni di incontro, oltre ai negozi prolungheranno
il loro orario di apertura anche il Museo del Risorgimento e palazzo
Morando – Costume, Moda, Immagine, che resteranno aperti fino alle ore
23.30. Palazzo Morando, inoltre, sarà la prestigiosa sede di un’esclusiva
mostra fotografica, Watch&Click, organizzata da Vogue Gioiello in
collaborazione con Assorologi, l'associazione italiana che raccoglie i più
prestigiosi marchi di orologi. Watch &Click è il frutto di un'iniziativa
lanciata su Vogue.it dal direttore Franca Sozzani, per valorizzare i
giovani talenti della fotografia attraverso una riflessione sul tema del
"tempo".
Palazzo Morando aprirà le porte ai visitatori della mostra l'8 settembre
alle ore 18,00 con un cocktail offerto da Campari, official drink di Vogue
Fashion's Night Out 2011, e l'esposizione sarà aperta al pubblico fino a
data da definirsi.
“Moda, cultura e solidarietà. Tre espressioni della sensibilità umana che
si declinano all’interno di uno stesso evento per offrire, insieme al
divertimento, l’opportunità di nuove connessioni tra mondi solo
apparentemente lontani”, ha dichiarato l’assessore alla Cultura, Expo, Moda
e Design Stefano Boeri. “Vogue Fashion's Night Out, infatti, è un evento
che non solo promuove l’incontro tra la città e uno dei suoi più importanti
settori produttivi, ma offre anche proposte culturali di qualità e segnala
un’attenzione particolare all’ambiente e alla sostenibilità delle scelte
sul futuro della nostra città”.
“Siamo felici di proporre alla città un evento che vede ogni anno sempre
maggior partecipazione”, dice il direttore di Vogue Italia Franca Sozzani.
“Questo appuntamento è un segno importante del nostro impegno per
avvicinare il mondo della moda - spesso percepito come lontano ed esclusivo
- a tutte le persone appassionate e curiose. Al tempo stesso, Vogue
Fashion's Night Out rappresenta un grande momento di festa collettiva
capace di dare alla città nuova luce e nuova energia”.

Michele Miglionico: Celebra i 150 Anni Dell’Unità D'Italia
Con L’alta MODA ITALIANA
di Cristian Pedrazzini
In occasione del programma evento, condotto da Pippo Baudo e Bruno Vespa “Centocinquanta” per la celebrazione dei 150 anni dell’Unità d’Italia che andrà in diretta mercoledì 16 marzo 2011 alle ore 21.15 su Rai1 dal Teatro delle Vittorie a Roma, lo stilista Michele Miglionico rappresenterà l’Alta Moda Italiana.
La coppia inedita formata da Pippo Baudo e Bruno Vespa accompagnerà il pubblico televisivo per sei puntate in un viaggio attraverso l’Italia dal 1861 ad oggi. All’inizio della prima puntata, Baudo e Vespa saranno insieme alla regina della bellezza italiana Sofia Loren nel Teatro delle Vittorie a Roma, da cui si collegheranno con Piazza del Quirinale per annunciare la Notte Tricolore. Sul palco della piazza condurrà l’evento Fabrizio Frizzi con Manuela Arcuri e, alla presenza del Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano, Gianni Morandi intonerà l’Inno Nazionale accompagnato dal Coro delle Voci Bianche dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia mentreGiancarlo Giannini leggerà il testo di un patriota risorgimentale.Sono inoltre previsti collegamenti con le città risorgimentali: Roma alla Stazione Termini, dove sarà srotolata una gigantesca bandiera tricolore sulla facciata dell’edificio; a Torino, in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, per assistere all’accensione di un anello tricolore intorno alla Mole Antonelliana; a Firenze in Piazza della Signoria, piena di sbandieratori, che presenterà l’alzabandiera sul nuovo Auditorium; poi a Napoli, al Teatro San Carlo in compagnia del grande ballerino Roberto Bolle.
In questa prima puntata e in quelle successive, “Centocinquanta” si propone di raccontare: i fatti e le storie che hanno caratterizzato questo periodo storico (da Garibaldi a Mussolini, da Cavour a De Gasperi, da Petrolini a Totò e, ancora, dal velocifero alla Ferrari, dal valzer alla discomusic, dal telegrafo al telefono cellulare) e le eccellenze del Made in Italy che, in molti settori, hanno rappresentato e rappresentano oggi la cultura dell’alta qualità nel mondo.
Durante la prima puntata del programma celebrativo, tra le eccellenze dell’alta qualità del Made in Italy, ci sarà l’alta moda italiana rappresentata da due red eveving dress di haute couture dalla silhouette sottile, fluida e femminile, dalla sensualità raffinata a firma dello stilista Michele Miglionico. Le caratteristiche dei due abiti: uno con corpetto a pieghe piatte arricchito da piccoli volant che mettono in risalto il punto vitae bolero con piume di struzzo rosse, l’altro in stile impero; entrambi in georgette plissè. Un sapiente mix di tradizione, modernità, romanticismo e classicismo.
Numerosi saranno gli ospiti del mondo della cultura, dello spettacolo e dello sport che si alterneranno, insieme a Baudo e Vespa, per rievocare le atmosfere, la musica, i racconti dei 150 anni dell’Unità d’Italia.

È primaveraaaaa…
…Svegliatevi bambine…così sentivo canticchiare mia madre all’arrivo della primavera
di Isabella Rossiello
…Svegliatevi bambine…così sentivo canticchiare mia madre all’arrivo della primavera, solo che noi oggi abbiamo gli armadi impreparati e in molte regioni è quasi già estate…niente paura c’è sempre la regola della cipolla.
Vestirsi a strati, che bella invenzione, già ma cosa ci mettiamo?
Fiori e vichy come da Dolce & Gabbana, o l’elegantissimo polvere come da Max&Co e Calvin Klein, anche il bianco va alla grande come da Twin – Set e ancora fiori di tutte le fogge e grandezze da Desigual, abitini da portare a tutte le ore purché fiorati…insomma un inno alla primavera.
Fiori dunque ma non solo, le righe imperversano e mettono allegria, di tutti i colori e grandezze sono di gran moda come da Jil Sander o Kocca e lo stile sauvage come le maxi tute proposte da un sempre più sorprendente Missoni.
Odiate entrambe le proposte?Niente paura, ci sono i colori puri, il verde in pole position, il giallo, mixarli poi deve essere un’arte come fa Yves Saint Laurent, con i suoi fuxia o arancio e perfino verde acido.
In grande spolvero gli anni ’50 visto il successo del burlesque con gonne a ruota e pois come da Cycle.
Ricapitolando lo stile gardening, le righe marinare, i colori vitaminici e su tutto il trench in tutti i colori dell’arcobaleno, dal classico beige al turchese come da Geospirit o rosa confetto proposto da Kristina TI.
Per chi ama il pantalone for ever, rigorosamente skinny come quelli di Cavalli e per chi può, resiste lo short come da Northland.
Se non esistono più le mezze stagioni a noi ci fa un baffo…e la regola cipollifera è molto più divertente, perché ci permette la comodità e il divertimento in un sol colpo…cosa vogliamo di più?
Tante cose…ma questo è un altro articolo.

GAETANO NAVARRA-autunno/inverno 2011/2012
Una spettacolo unico e di rilievo, proprio come i tessuti a rilievo che sono protagonisti di questa nuova collezione
di Cristian Pedrazzini
Uno spettacolo unico e di rilievo, proprio come i tessuti a rilievo che sono protagonisti di questa nuova collezione.
E' proprio cosi' che in una breve, ma intensa, sfilata dello stilista che viene lanciata la nuova moda della prossima stagione autunno-inverno 2011/2012; grazie hai particolari e alle imbottiture si determina il nuovo stile.
Un miscuglio di colori chiari, tendenti alla "sabbia", danno voce al colore scelto da Gaetano Navarra per la prossima stagione.
I materiali? lana, tessuti tendenti al trasparente e pailettes.
Anche quest'anno noi eravamo presenti ed naturalmente non mancavano stampa, fotografi, tv e ospiti d'eccezzione.
Infatti abitudine dello stilista è quello di cirondarsi di personaggi e amici che vestono e amano la moda Navarra; ospiti in prima fila e nel backstage a salutare lo stilista:
Anna Tatangelo, che ha vestito di recente al suo ultimo Festival di Sanremo i suoi abiti, e il giovane presentatore televisivo Dario Sardonè, presto nella conduzione della nuova edizione di Fotomodella Dell'anno, il famoso concorso che ha lanciato volti come Michelle Hunzicker, anch'esso ospite fisso da Gaetano che ormai da anni veste nei suoi lavori le creazioni dello stilista, inoltre erano presenti Jo Squillo, Candida Morvillo, Sandro Mayer accompagnato da sua moglie e tanti altri...

LA MODA SBARCA AL COST DI MILANO, CON 2NIGHT, PROGETTO BACKSTAGE E SOMERSBY
Venezia, 20 ottobre 2010 – Giovedì 21 Ottobre 2010 il Cost di Milano (via Maroncelli 8) , location di tendenza dell’autunno milanese, ospiterà un evento pensato e realizzato per presentare e valorizzare il talento di quattro stilisti emergenti. Una sfilata di moda per un aperitivo assolutamente fuori dall’ordinario, grazie alla collaborazione tra 2night spa, Progetto Backstage e Somersby. Basterà sedersi nel front-row e osservare modelle bellissime sfilare sulla passerella con le creazioni di quattro giovani stilisti, Camilla Mainente, Julia Adreolassi ed Elena Grappiolo con il marchio CADEAU, Shuichi Mizuta e Silvia Stefanini. Il tutto sorseggiando un drink elegante e trendy come Somersby nell’esclusiva atmosfera di un vero backstage.
La prima sfilata, alle ore 17:30, sarà riservata a stampa, buyers ed imprenditori del settore moda, la seconda sarà aperta al pubblico (ingresso con consumazione 10 euro dalle ore 19).
Sull’onda del successo della partecipazione ai 2night Awards 2010 (il premio ai migliori locali italiani) 2night, azienda leader in Italia nell’informazione multicanale sul mondo del divertimento, lancia l’iniziativa avviata da Progetto BACKSTAGE di rendere la moda accessibile a tutti, portando le sfilate nei locali. A sostenere l’idea è Somersby, la nuova bevanda naturale al gusto di mela del gruppo Carlsberg.
Progetto BACKSTAGE è un trampolino di lancio per giovani stilisti emergenti, e da un anno ha catalizzato l’interesse di trendsetter e media diventando punto di riferimento per tutti gli appassionati di moda. L’idea vincente è quella di portare la moda tra la gente: le creazioni degli stilisti di Progetto BACKSTAGE escono dal mondo degli addetti ai lavori e vengono presentate ai loro reali destinatari, quel pubblico sempre attento al look e alle nuove tendenze che frequenta i locali più alla moda.
Main sponsor dell’iniziativa è Somersby, la nuova bevanda naturale al gusto di mela del gruppo Carlsberg che è stata lanciata nel mercato italiano durante l’estate 2010. Somersby è una bevanda moderatamente alcolica (4,7% alc. vol.) che nasce dalla fermentazione del succo di mela (7,5%), non contiene conservanti e coloranti, è fresca, naturale e frizzante. Presentata con successo in Danimarca e Norvegia nel 2008, ha ricevuto da Nielsen il premio “lancio dell’anno 2009”, contribuendo ad una crescita straordinaria (+93%) della categoria di riferimento in Norvegia.
Per partecipare alla sfilata delle 17:30 è necessario accreditarsi.

La moda si reinventa
Fashion Paper, con la carta in forme inusuali ed inaspettate
di Cristian Pedrazzini
Vestiti realizzati con tovagliolini di carta rossi, figurine adesive o filtri da thè. E non solo. Collane di imballo grigio o in cartone nero. Carta e moda si reinventano in forme inusuali ed inaspettate, ma sempre innovative e creative. Come testimonia la mostra itinerante "Fashion Paper", curata da Bianca Cappello e realizzata grazie al contributo di Comieco. Il progetto vede coinvolti gli studenti delle migliori Accademie italiane (AfolModa di Afol Milano, l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera a Milano e l’Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino) nella realizzazione di oggetti di moda, arte e design, interamente in carta. In mostra prima a Milano, a Palazzo Isimbardi, e poi a Firenze e Torino abiti rifiniti nei minimi dettagli, come il vestito da sera creato con tovagliolini di carta rossi, o quello da cocktail realizzato con oltre un migliaio di figurine adesive. Per il giorno, invece, il vestito chemisier realizzato con la carta da imballo di pacchetti stampati in azzurro o la casacca confezionata con filtri da thè. Per una serata speciale, infine, il vestito modello charleston fatto di cartellini con pendaglio o il Kimono giapponese realizzato assemblando tra loro migliaia di francobolli usati.
§Ma oltre agli abiti ci sono anche gioielli, come la collana realizzata riutilizzando dell’imballo grigio con tecnica quilling, che consiste nell’arrotolamento di striscette di carta che vanno a formare figure e decorazioni; o anche la collana in cartone nero realizzata assemblando minuscoli moduli pretagliati e incastrati tra loro a formare un’architettura solida e ampliabile a seconda dei gusti.
Oltre al contenuto anche l’allestimento (strutture in carta e/o cartone, leggere, facilmente trasportabili, montabili, riutilizzabili e adattabili ad ogni ambiente espositivo) sarà in linea con il concetto fondante della mostra il cui obiettivo è di portare alla luce, sviluppando in maniera del tutto inedita e accattivante, gli attuali temi di eco-sostenibilità, recupero dei materiali a base cellulosica e compatibilità ambientale. La collaborazione di Comieco con il mondo accademico, inoltre, non è nuova. Da anni infatti il Consorzio anima ed organizza insieme alle Università diverse attività legate all’applicazione di materiale a base cellulosica negli ambiti più diversi, come nel caso del workshop tenuto lo scorso anno all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze proprio per la realizzazione di abiti in carta.

Miuccia Prada
Contributi alla moda e all'arte

Il suo è un "eccezionale contributo alla moda e alle arti". Con questa motivazione l'American Academy in Rome ha assegnato quest'anno il prestigioso premio McKim a Miuccia Prada. Il riconoscimento, tributato a personaggi esemplari per lo scambio creativo ed intellettuale tra le arti, gli studi, le lingue e le culture (gli anni passati è andato a celebrità come Renzo Piano, Umberto Eco, Franco Zeffirelli ed Ennio Morricone), sarà consegnato stasera durante il gala nella seicentesca Villa Aurelia di Roma. A dare la medaglia alla stilista sarà Robert Storr, preside della School of Art at Yale University e direttore della Biennale di Venezia del 2007. Miuccia Prada verrà così premiata dall'Accademia non soltanto per il risultato da lei raggiounto per la sua carriera di stilista e imprenditrice di fama mondiale ma anche per il suo eccezionale contributo a livello internazionale come promotrice delle arti e della cultura, e come co-fondatrice della Fondazione Prada. L'appuntamento di questa sera sarà anche occasione per una raccolta fondi che permetterà di finanziare borse di studio destinate a giovani artisti e studiosi italiani (che avranno così l'opportunità di studiare all'Accademia) e di sostenere un programma di scambio con un'università italiana.

Vamos a la playa…sì ma quando?
Ci siamo giocati la primavera e l’estate non ci degna di uno sguardo
di Isabella Rossiello

Ci siamo giocati la primavera e l’estate non ci degna di uno sguardo.
Noi intanto abbiamo fatto il cambio d’armadio, comprato qualcosa di nuovo, quasi un gesto di buon auspicio…ma è servito a poco, forse solo ad alleggerire il portafoglio di per sé già stanco e ammosciato.
Bando ai pessimismi, arriva, arriva l’estate basta saper aspettare anche se i metereologi una settimana sì e una no la annunciano con gran clamore per poi arrivare al mercoledì e dirci che per il fine settimana non dobbiamo farci illusioni.
La depressione ci danza intorno e ci fa marameo, per dispetto allora andiamo a fare shopping e…cosa compreremo?
Questa stagione decisamente più delle precedenti, ci vuole iperfemminili e ipersexy, la minigonna la fa da padrona e torna il fragile romantico ma anche sexy plissé, le gonne plissettate, si muovono e danno grazia, sono maliziose, ricordano le divise delle collegiali di mezzo mondo, i colori sono delicati per queste gonne, celeste, cipria, bianco panna.
Tutt’altro discorso per le stampe…se non sono a fiori non le vogliamo.
C’è un fiorire, è il caso di dirlo, di abiti che quasi a voler rinfacciare al tempo inclemente che noi amiamo i fiori ed è stagione di fioriture, ecco le vetrine vestirsi di abiti fiorati, applicazioni di rose e margherite, foglie di edera, papaveri e fragole.
In alternativa, quasi a voler dare uno schiaffo al grigiore dell’inverno gli abiti si tingono di verde menta, fuxia deciso passando per il giallo limone, come per magia ci coloriamo per urlare la nostra gioia di vivere.
Anche gli accessori urlano…sono grandi, eccessivi, vistosi da portare con allegria, collane, cappelli, cinture, scarpe, la parola d’ordine è: abbondante è bello!
Abbondante è anche la tendenza delle donne non più filiformi ma con le giuste rotondità, strizziamo dunque la cintura in vita e mostriamo i fianchi, scaliamo i tacchi e mostriamo polpacci torniti, i bustini rinati dopo la moda del burlesque, fanno risaltare seni prosperosi senza esagerazione.
Pantaloni attillati, giacche corte, e sogneremo Portofino anni ’60, anche se poi andiamo all’Idroscalo di Milano…e perché no, la classe è classe ovunque anzi, molte delle città che hanno fatto sognare i nostri padri e dove si sono girati film come “Rimini Rimini” sono ormai un po’ demodé.
Noi imperterrite ci vestiremo con allegria, per i malumori c’è sempre tempo e poi esiste l’aroma terapia, la pet, e la cromo terapia…mixiamole: un buon tea al gelsomino odoroso o alla verbena, un cucciolo che ci riempie di coccole e i colori che più ci piacciono…ragazze, quest’anno conquistiamo il mondo!

Paris et la grandeur…
Parigi non rinuncia..
di Isabella Rossiello
Video

Anche in tempi grami Parigi non rinuncia alla sua grandeur, tutti i bei nomi della moda mondiale sono presenti con collezioni ricche di spunti, creatività e lusso.
Dior ha come tema dominante la caccia, con splendide, forse importabili tube e gli ormai onnipresenti cuissardes, ruche, tulle, voile, in uno splendido gioco altalenante tra Alice in Wonderland ed elegantissime amazzoni.
I colori sono quelli della terra, del cielo e della polvere.
Un colore non colore, un beige che si differenzia dall’originale e si ricrea in nuove nuance.
I colori dell’acqua e del ghiaccio ma anche i grigi e il nero sono i colori di Chanel, il tema dominante è la donna Yeti,
Queste donne polari, algide, fredde,sicure di se anche se intabarrate in lunghi pantaloni di pelo, colbacchi e giacche hanno lo stesso charme che Madame Cocò diede loro tanti anni fa.
Costume National ha stupito tutti con una collezione super sexy, elegante e colorata, ancora più estrema invece, la collezione Balenciaga, gigantesche cerniere e titoli di giornali a caratteri cubitali, quasi a sottolineare che la notizia oggi è urlata, e si fa a chi urla di più.
Yves Saint Laurent, fa dei colori Neon la sua bandiera, nero e fluo, modelle con creste Punk, orange, turchese e verde bottiglia, l’onda degli anni ’80 sta perdendo il suo fascino ma dà ancora molti spunti.
La nota più triste è stata l’ultima presentazione dei capi di Alexander Mc Queen, davanti ad un pubblico di intimi, con la colonna sonora che lo stesso stilista ascoltava mentre lavorava, una collezione quasi ieratica, icone bizantine, preziosi intarsi dorati, atmosfere un po’ da medioevo, con abiti che lui diceva essere unici…come chi doveva indossarli.
Una donna super accessoriata è la donna di Lanvin…quasi una Madonna ricoperta di ex voto, elegante e strafottente, porta con charme tante collane e bracciali a sfoggiare un look allo stesso tempo signorile e zingaresco.
Un’altra donna ancora è quella presentata da Dries Van Noten, elegante e guerriera, con il ritorno del “military style”, che però lascia la sciattezza e la durezza di un tempo e fascia la donna in corpetti estremamente glamourous.
Tutto si ripete come al solito e tutto è nuovo ed eccitante, le Maison sono sempre in cerca di effetti speciali, le più intelligenti si rendono conto che le donne ormai più che seguire la moda la reinventano, la modificano a proprio gusto, la mixano e la fanno propria, nessun Diktat, solo suggerimenti e noi, cari stilisti, ve ne siamo grate magari con un semplice cenno del capo come ad ogni sfilata fa Armani e un famoso giornale americano apprezzando il gesto scriveva: Armani takes a bow!

Paris…the real fashion
parigiparigiLe sfilate parigine non hanno prodotto grandi sorprese, c’è un retrogusto di piedi di piombo, gli stilisti hanno preferito uno stile quasi dimesso, elegante certo, Paris ces’t toujours Paris, ma sarà la crisi, e io insisto la mancanza di idee, eppure a Parigi le sfilate hanno mostrato molto nero, tocchi di grigio e borchie e pellame, per il prossimo inverno. Il pret a porter certo è lontano anni luce dai fasti dell’alta moda, la tendenza sino ad ora espressa, è una moda portabile quella che si chiama la real fashion, adatta a quasi tutte le taglie, con ovvie modifiche, comprabile, senza eccessi e ridicolaggini. Una moda sobria, forse come i nostri tempi e che le previsioni non alleggeriscono nemmeno per i prossimi due anni. Forieri di sventura o realisti? Noi qui aspettiamo e vediamo, ma le amanti del dark gongoleranno, le signore dal gusto gotico apprezzeranno, catene e borchie, stivaloni quasi inguinali e ruches malinconiche. Chanel punta sul classico black & white un must della maison, Prada, sempre strutturata e non sempre amata dalle fashion victim, rispetta il suo stile misurato e minimalista per eccellenza. Anche Givency e Lacroix presentano capi elegantissimi ma senza sorprese, occhio allora a ciò che compriamo quest’anno, soprattutto ai prossimi saldi, comprate black e se ce l’avete, per farlo rifiorire ed illudervi che sia un capo nuovo, cambiate i bottoni, al vostro cappottino, mettete dei bottoni gioiello e con una modica somma e una buona sarta, voilà…sarete sommerse di complimenti e perché no un pizzico d’invidia. Unica ad aver osato come sempre la mitica Vivien Westwood che da anni propone il post punk, rivisitato e corretto mille volte, con le calze che sembrano di due taglie più grandi, quasi a mostrare un disordine interiore e perché no anche interiore, visti i nostri tempi maldestri. Spruzzate di colore come il rosa o il bluette, il verde bottiglia, ghiaccio e marrone, sono previsti anche per l’anno prossimo, se avete già fatto un acquisto in questi toni, dormite serene, avete scelto anche per l’anno venturo.

Da anni la Settimana della Moda costituisce uno dei momenti di massima visibilità per Milano, riuscendo a catalizzare l'attenzione di tutto il mondo e raccogliendo attorno a sé creativi, artisti, stampa qualificata, compratori e opinion maker. Nonostante ciò la città si trova paradossalmente esclusa da questo evento: senza dubbio la settimana della moda influisce positivamente sull'indotto economico, ma dall'altra parte il traffico, i prezzi dei pernottamenti, la mobilità, e un tipo di turismo "mordi e fuggi" impoveriscono la città, rendendola più un contenitore vuoto, quasi privo di senso, che accetta passivamente uno stereotipo a cui è possibile cercare un'alternativa. La moda arriva, occupa edifici, locali e strade, congestionando vie e quartieri interi, e poi se ne va, senza lasciare un segno o un ricordo nella mente o nella vita dei cittadini, senza la volontà di conoscere veramente la città che la ospita.
Il Fuorimoda
esterni da sempre lavora sugli spazi urbani, proponendo alternative e nuove prospettive da cui guardare la città. esterni nasce in contrapposizione al Salone del Mobile, e già nella scelta del suo nome delimita il suo campo d'azione: durante la settimana del design, quando tutti sono attenti e proiettati verso l'oggetto, l'individuo e le singole cucine o camere da letto, esterni sposta l'attenzione sugli interessi comuni, sullo spazio pubblico contrapposto allo spazio privato, su di una piazza come simbolo di quella collettività che un'arte come il design dovrebbe riscoprire e valorizzare. E' così semplice, e forse evidente, creare un parallelo fra quello che per Milano è il Salone del Mobile e la Settimana della Moda. Una delle differenze è che il Salone ha trovato uno sbocco, si è spalancato una porta con il Fuori Salone - anche se ora ha perso buona parte dell'iniziale intento rivoluzionario -, mentre la moda non riesce a scrollarsi di dosso quest'aura di intoccabilità e elitarismo, di unicità che la contraddistingue e che la allontana dalla realtà, nonostante molte grandi firme sentano la necessità di aprirsi, alleggerirsi, e togliersi di dosso preconcetti che non fanno bene al "sistema moda". E' per questo che la moda ha bisogno del Fuorimoda.
esterni con il Fuorimoda lancia un'iniziativa che si propone di aprire la moda alla città: in concomitanza con le varie Settimane della Moda, due volte all'anno, parallelamente alle sfilate e a tutto quello che istituzionalmente compone l'evento, vengono proposti appuntamenti e servizi che siano pubblici, accessibili a tutti e diffusi nel tessuto urbano, che diano la possibilità a tutti di sentirsi realmente partecipi e coinvolti in un momento così importante per Milano.
esterni chiede alle grandi case di moda di aderire al progetto del Fuorimoda e lasciare una prova tangibile d'interesse verso la città e verso quelle problematiche che l'affliggono, proponendo soluzioni possibili e concrete.
Il Fuorimoda viene lanciato a febbraio, ma vedrà la prima edizione a giugno. L'obiettivo principale è quello di restituire alla città l'immagine di capitale della moda nel senso più ampio del termine, nell'ottica di crescere sempre più e diventare motore e promotore di cambiamenti positivi in diversi ambiti del vivere urbano.
Fuorimoda, dal 16 al 23 febbraio 2008
Per questo primo appuntamento di febbraio, ma soprattutto in vista di quello di giugno, esterni rivolge ai grandi marchi la richiesta di sostenere e appoggiare fin da ora il Fuorimoda. In questa puntata zero verrà realizzata: la Guida del Fuorimoda, distribuita in tutta la città in oltre 20.000 copie, un catalogo di idee e progetti pensati per gli addetti ai lavori, uno strumento che già dalla prossima edizione sarà l'organo di raccolta dei vari appuntamenti che verranno organizzati nel Fuorimoda; una Sfilata Pubblica aperta a tutti venerdì 22 febbraio, dalle 19 alle 21 in Piazza Affari, dove esterni e tutti i cittadini danno appuntamento a giornalisti, agli stilisti e alle case di moda che vogliano dimostrare un'apertura verso la città; un grande momento di festa, sempre venerdì 22 febbraio, dalle 22 a notte fonda, in un luogo insolito capace di accogliere migliaia di persone, cittadini ma anche addetti ai lavori, per rilassarsi, divertirsi e dimenticarsi della frenesia, del traffico e dello stress (www.esterni.org); un servizio di noleggio biciclette e di "tandemtaxi" nei luoghi ad "alta concentrazione di moda".

Milano Moda Uomo che, dal 14 al 17 gennaio, ospiterà 71 collezioni in 39 sfilate, 23 presentazioni e altre 10 su appuntamento.

Gherardini, borsa su disegno Leonardo

La Pretiosa, sarà realizzata in 99 esemplari

di Carmen Guadalaxara

Gherardini ha presentato a Pitti Uomo La Pretiosa borsa speciale realizzata su un disegno del '400 di Leonardo Da Vinci. E' un accessorio elegante in vitello e ottone che sarà venduta in limited edition (solo 99 esemplari) insieme a una garanzia e a un libro che racconta l'arte di Leonardo. E' stata pensata come omaggio a Firenze, dove Gherardini fu fondata 126 anni fa, e a Leonardo che dal ritratto di Lisa Gherardini ha molto probabilmente realizzato uno dei dipinti più famosi, La Gioconda.

Pierre Mantoux compie 80 anni

Dalle calze a pois al family brand

di Carmen Guadalaxara

Il debutto nel 1932 con il fondatore Otorino Giangrossi, che insieme alla moglie ne fece un marchio internazionale. L'eredità è stata raccolta dalla famiglia che oggi dirige l'azienda con Patrizia Giangrossi, quarta generazione, figlia di Remo, e con Costanza e Chiara Ferraris.
Compie 80 anni un marchio storico del made in Italy, Pierre Mantoux, dopo il debutto nel 1932 con il fondatore Otorino Giangrossi, che insieme alla moglie Velia ne fece un brand internazionale, amatissimo dalle griffe, apprezzato dalle consumatrici che accoglievano nel proprio guardaroba le famose calze a pois in una gamma di 56 colori, i body sensuali, la maglieria leisure impreziosita da nappine, strass applicati, sofisticati reticoli.
Una eredità raccolta dalla famiglia che oggi dirige l'azienda con Patrizia Giangrossi, quarta generazione, figlia di Remo, e con Costanza e Chiara Ferraris. Maglie e collant, che tanto piacevano a Diana Spencer, costumi da bagno e la recente linea di accessori glam-chic sono le linee produttive. "In tempi di delocalizzazione selvaggia, celebriamo con orgoglio la nostra storia e il nostro made in Italy'', dichiara Patrizia Giangrossi.
Pierre Mantoux parte negli anni Trenta con l'Industria Lombarda Calze a Telaio e arriva, tra innovazioni tecnologiche e virate creative, a esportare i suoi prodotti in 50 paesi diversi, con un occhio di riguardo per department stores del calibro di Galeries Lafayette, La Rinascente, Bon Marché, Neiman Marcus, Isetan, Fenwick.
"Essere un family brand localizzato in Italia oggi significa responsabilità verso il trade, il mercato, le consumatrici finali. Significa dare vita a un indotto economico e produttivo di forte rilevanza sul territorio. Significa, infine, essere personalmente i custodi e i garanti della qualità e della soddisfazione finale di ogni cliente'' conclude Giangrossi.

Il vanto dell’Italica vanità, raccoglie quasi mille brand

di Isabella Rossiello

Video

Anche quest’anno il vanto dell’Italica vanità, raccoglie quasi mille brand con il ritorno di Jimmy Choo e McQ la linea “giovane” di Alexander Mc Queen.
Dal 10 al 13 gennaio un vero tour de force aspetta visitatori e compratori provenienti da tutto il mondo insieme alla stampa internazionale, collezioni uomo e donna che anticipano le tendenze del prossimo inverno, il maculato resiste e addirittura ritorna alla grande, così come il military-style rigorosamente dosati o ostentati.
Torna la pelliccia eco e non su tutti i capi: borse, cappelli, colli, portata con humour soprattutto quella eco, le stampe coloratissime sono un must per questo e il prossimo inverno, i cappelli la vera riscoperta per una donna che adora cambiare stile con un dettaglio che una volta era un capo irrinunciabile.
14 graphic designer disegnano il futuro con un segno, un logo una parola un disegno, mostra presentata nella ormai mitica Fortezza da Basso.
L’attitudine è il casual, non tramonta il tricot, i cappotti e giacconi di tutte le fogge sono a seconda del proprio tipo molto chic o molto sportivi e soprattutto colorati, in auge ancora i piumini large size o aderenti e sfiancati.
Altra novità è il Make, spazio focus per progetti a tiratura limitata o addirittura pezzi unici, una vera chiccheria!
L’anno scorso la guest nation era il Brasile, quest’anno invece tocca al Giappone che ha selezionato marchi contemporanei che ripercorrono 15 anni di storia di moda nipponica, a seguire Party assolutamente blindato!
La bottega - Atelier di Bonotto, storica azienda tessile ha raccolto per Pitti Immagine 81 i tessuti che hanno fatto la storia di tante grandi maison.
Mercoledì 11 gennaio c’è l’evento clou, sfila Valentino a Palazzo Corsini e il giorno dopo Olympia Le Tan porterà in passerella le sue Clutch “letterarie” vere e proprie chicche di creatività.
Tutto da vivere, insomma, questo Pitti Immagine che dà veramente l’idea di come L’Italia sia ancora una potenza nel business della moda internazionale.
Da don dimenticare la maison di Faliero Sarti da Prato che presenta i suoi preziosi filati con pashmine e sciarpe dedicate all’uomo ma che noi donne possiamo di certo rubare dal suo armadio.
Pitti Immagine, la colonna della nostra moda nel mondo in una cornice che fa sognare da sempre buyer e stampa internazionale, a Firenze dove la moda e l’arte si incontrano e si arricchiscono di nuove idee e storia antica e classica.

Shopping in Billund

Billund is synonymous with Legoland and toy shopping, however for visitors who care to look beyond the Lego products there are a couple of pedestrian shopping markets and swanky stores offering traditional wares and designer merchandise. The Billund shopping guide offers visitors helpful information on sourcing the right stuff from the markets of this attractive Danish toy town.

Legoland

Billund is undoubtedly about Legoland and much as the town tries, it is hard to let go of the overbearing influence of the entertainment district. The flood of stores found inside Legoland is enough to keep shoppers occupied for hours. There are interesting shops selling an impressive collection of LEGO merchandise and souvenirs. Almost all tourists who come here pick up the Lego’s brick box. Apart from the fantastic toys and other souvenirs, visitors can also buy items from the Lego clothing label.

Kolding

For shoppers who have had enough of Legoland, Kolding is a nice shopping street to buy everything from chic high street apparel to regional specialties. There is also a huge mall in the area, housing stores and boutiques of international high fashion brands.

Vejle

Vejle, located at approximately 30 km to the east of the city, features a wide array of stores, cafes and restaurants to indulge visitors in a unique shopping and eating bonanza. There are several shopping streets tucked away in the by lanes of this region and they sell almost anything from fresh local produce, meat and flowers to traditional fabric, accessories, handicrafts and electronics. The items are available for a steal and it’s a norm to reduce the price by at least 50 percent of the rate quoted by the merchant.

If you want to pick up the finest Danish beer that money can buy, head to the Havens Vin Og Tobakshus. The Havnegade 37 located-shop stocks the most extensive collection of Denmark’s special beer.

Billund International Airport

The Billund International Airport boasts of a number of stores where tourists can buy a wide range of items from local handicrafts, fabrics and watches to books, cigars and other handy everyday items. There is also a good collection of toy shops selling the town’s famous Lego merchandise.

Though Legoland has transformed Billund from virtual anonymity to a famous tourist hotspot, there are several other shopping markets and districts, where tourists can find great bargain buys.

Shopping in Torremolinos

The town of Torremolinos is well serviced with regards to public transport in its shopping district, with a bus and train station within very easy reach. In fact, this area is highly regarded as on of the best for shopping on the Costa Del Sol and as such is full of hidden gems for every type of shopper.

Wheelchair Users

In contrast to many holiday resorts and towns in general, Torremolinos shopping area is very wheelchair friendly with its ramps and zebra crossings. In fact virtually all shops and cafes can be accessed without difficulty apart from those at Camino Del Playa . Again, the good public transport options must be kept in mind for those with mobility problems.

Calle San Miguel

This is a largely pedestrianised area and is the main shopping street in the town. It boasts a very wi de array of shopping opportunities, with many gift and arts and crafts shops situated on the winding stairway to the beach. Calle San Miguel boasts some big names in ladies clothing such as Zara and Mango. Also, Bershka is a popular clothing emporium situated on this street and stocks both gents and ladies fashion.

Cortefiel , situated on the Avenida Palma de Mallorca , is part of a big chain which has been established since the end of last century and stocks fashions for both sexes, particularly concentrating on the 18 - 30 's age range.

There are also ample boutiques which cater for ladies of all ages here. There really is something for everyone.

Plaza Costa del Sol

Calle San Miguel leads on to Plaza Costa Del Sol through a plethora of boutiques, little jewellery stalls, pavement style cafes and gift shops. This area of central Torremolinos is very lively and vibrant although there is also ample chance to explore the quieter back streets for bargains. This is a good area to stop and take a rest from shopping and just to order a drink and some tapas and watch the world go by.

Market Town

Do ensure that you visit the Municipal Market which runs every Thursday between 9am and 3pm. This is situated at El Calvario which is near the ayuntamiento (town hall) in central Torremolinos .

Run on a Sunday morning is the huge car boot market at the Plaza de Toros bullring just slightly north of the city. This market is popular with tourists and locals alike.

Often called the “Pearl of the Mediterranean,” Alexandria, Egypt ,was named after the great Roman dictator, Julius Caesar. Visitors to the Alexandria Shopping scene can find a variety of experiences from open air markets to Western style malls. After indulging in the local beaches and cultural gems of this ancient city, the visitor can wander the shopping district for unique souvenirs.

Local Markets

Alexandria has many traditional open markets, called “souqs,” which sell antiques, papyrus, clothes and other items. Most traditional markets are located on the western side of Midan Tahrir. A visitor to the city can wander through the markets places and observe Arabic culture up close. Market places have coffee houses where men gather to discuss the news and gossip. The shopkeepers are friendly and encourage their patrons, especially tourists, to haggle over prices. Bazaars reflect the changing times in Alexandria. Younger Egyptians prefer the shopping the malls to the open markets. As a result older, more traditional, people frequent the open air markets. One bazaar, Attraine Souk, is a maze of small streets that are too narrow for cars to pass through. The market is famous for being a stop off the beaten path where tourists can shop at bargain shops for less money. Visitors view modern Egyptian fashion and take home unique finds for themselves. Tourists should be aware that the markets close early on Friday for the observance of the Muslim Sabbath.

Shopping Malls

For those craving a more Western experience, there is an abundance of shopping malls in Alexandria. Modern hotels like the Hilton Egypt Alexandria, have their own shopping malls. While they may lack the authentic feel found in the bazaars, they offer a range of goods for tourists. Other malls like the Deeb Mall offer tourists modern amenities. While shopping, a visitor can check email through the Wi-Fi network offered. They visit the art galleries that maintain paints from American, Egyptian and Scandinavian artists. Visitors will find antique stores that sell finds from the 18th and 19th centuries. As some of the museums in Alexandria charge entrance fees tourists can a sense of the culture for free through the art galleries and antique shops. The stores sell everything from high fashion to electronics.

As in the case of open air markets, tourists have to mindful that some stores close early on Fridays in observance of the Sabbath.

Malaga Shopping is a fascinating mix of the old and the new. With the boon of tourism to the area, more contemporary shops and shopping malls have been developed. However, there are still many small, idiosyncratic shops that have been owned by the same families for generations. These smaller shops often thrive on selling one or two specialties.

Malaga Central Market

This local market offers fish, meat, seafood and a variety of cheeses. This is a great place to stop and have lunch after spending the day sightseeing throughout Malaga. Or if you are planning on a dinner party, picking up the fresh lobsters or prawns available here will only impress your guests.

C alle Larios

This is in the center of Malaga, and definitely mixes the old with the new. Lining each side are more contemporary fashion boutiques that stand side by side with shops that sell unusual handicrafts and souvenirs. There are also small shops that have been part of Malaga for generations.

Major Shopping Centers

Malago is full of shopping centers throughout the whole area, selling everything from name-brand clothing to household items. Among them are Almazul Calle, Centro Commercial Los Patios, Centro Commercial Malaga, El Corte Ingles, Felix Saenz, and Los Artesanos. There are also many shops that specialize in books, jewelry and local products such as wine, olive oil, cakes, and leather goods.

Books

If you are looking for a bookstore in Malaga, you have a wide range of choices. At the Plaza de la Constitucion, you will find Cervantes, a wonderful little bookstore. If you are nearer to Alameda Principal, Luces is a good choice.

Jewelry

You can find cheaper, more kitschy jewelry at the many souvenir places along the waterfront, but for better quality pieces, go to Fernando Joyeros or Aurelio Marzos. These shops are located near the center of Malaga.

Local Products

While you are visiting Malaga, you may wish to stock up on some of the local products available, such as pastries, olive oil, leather goods, and wine. These little specialty stores are also found throughout Malaga. For the most decadent choices, however, Abadia de Santa Anna is the best pastry shop. For wine, try Bodegas Lara, Bodegas Gomara, or El Barril de Mistico. Leather goods can be found at Martin Saenz. But remember, half the fun of finding these places is in the search and exploration of Malaga itself.

You will never be disappointed in shopping in Malaga. With so many different malls and shops to choose from, you will not go home empty handed.

*************************************************

FASHION LUCA BOIOCCHI
LE NOVITA' DELLA PRIMAVERA '08 BY BOIOCCHI
La primavera '08 è già nell'aria, e l'universo fashion di Luca Boiocchi, personal stylist - image maker sardo giovane, under 30, ma già da anni attivo nel quadrilatero milanese, si riempie di nuove iniziative.
SU MISURA, MA BY LUCA BOIOCCHI
Parte una collaborazione con due sarti bresciani, Edo Corradini e suo fratello, noti per aver vestito negli anni artisti, calciatori, imprenditori (etc). L'idea di Boiocchi è semplice: gli abiti sartoriali, su misura, ma col tocco in più. Ad esempio, abiti e camicie cuciti a mano, utilizzando soltanto tessuti ultra ricercati e preziosi, con rifiniture e gessature in filo di diamannte e polsini in filo d'oro, con bottoni più unici che rari. "Anzi più che bottoni, vere opere d'arte", spiega Boiocchi. Oppure, camice rifinite con le lancetta di storici orologi d'oro, poste nel sottomanica o su un fianco. "Quanto costa? Per certe cose non c'è prezzo", conclude Luca.

WEEKEND LUXURY ITALIAN STYLE... CON PERSONAL STYLIST A SEGUITO
Anche la moda italiana, pian piano fa sistema, e non sono pochi i turisti o businessman internazionali che approfittano del belpaese per fare shopping all'italiana. Sono nate quindi tante luxury agency specializzate nel fornire loro auto, jet privati e interpreti... Alla squadra, per chi vuole ancora qualcosa di più. si aggiunge il servizio personal stylist - image maker di Luca Boiocchi. "Sto selezionando uno staff di collaboratori e già oggi operiamo a Milano Firenze Bologna Torino Roma Venezia Brescia e Bergamo", spiega Boiocchi. "Ma più che alla quantità, come sempre, punto alla qualità del servizio".
CHI E' LUCA BOIOCCHI
Un personal stylist non è un semplice personal shopper che accompagna chi può permetterselo negli acquisti, ma un consulente al servizio dello stile di ognuno. Il personal stylist - image maker Luca Boiocchi non basa la sua professionalità con l'aver avuto a che fare con questo o quel vip. Anzi il suo riserbo sui suoi assistiti, ovviamente, è assoluto. Ma si sta spargendo la voce tra gli addetti ai lavori e non. E non pochi manager televisivi, politici... si stanno facendo vivi con insistenza. Luca Boiocchi non ha altro mezzo per promuovere il proprio lavoro che il passaparola tra i clienti soddisfatti e chi lavora in tante location specializzate nel lusso (yatch, supercar, gioiellerie, fashion shops).
Boiocchi non opera solo a Milano: Montecarlo, Roma, Parigi, Saint Tropez e Firenze sono le città in cui lavora più frequentemente e che conosce bene anche per la sua attività parallela in show room a stretto contatto, questa volta, con fashion brand e compratori dei negozi più chic del pianeta.

Bellezza

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Vai a: Navigazione, cerca

Nota disambigua - Se stai cercando altri significati di bellezza, vedi Bellezza (disambiguazione)

Esistono dei suggerimenti per ampliare e migliorare questa pagina.

La bellezza è una qualità delle cose percepite che suscitano sensazioni piacevoli, che attribuiamo a concetti, oggetti, animali o persone nell'universo osservato, che si sente istantaneamente durante l'esperienza, che si sviluppa spontaneamente e tende a collegarsi ad un contenuto emozionale positivo, in seguito ad un rapido paragone effettuato consciamente od inconsciamente, con un canone di riferimento interiore che può essere innato oppure acquisito per istruzione o per consuetudine sociale.

Nel suo senso più profondo, la bellezza genera un senso di riflessione benevola sul significato della propria esistenza dentro il mondo naturale.

La bellezza comporta la cognizione degli oggetti come aventi una certa armonia intrinseca oppure estrinseca, con la natura, che suscita nell'osservatore un senso ed esperienza di attrazione, affezione, piacere, salute.
Spesso si afferma che un "oggetto di bellezza" è qualsiasi cosa nel mondo percepito che riveli un aspetto significativo per la persona riguardo la "bellezza naturale". La presenza del sé in qualsiasi contesto umano, indicherebbe che la bellezza è naturalmente basata sul sentimento che suscita negli umani, anche se la bellezza umana è soltanto l'aspetto dominante di una più grande ed incalcolabile bellezza naturale.
Il contrario di bellezza è bruttezza, intesa come la percezione di una mancanza di bellezza o accumulo di imperfezioni, che suscita indifferenza o dispiacere e genera una percezione negativa dell'oggetto.

Gli insegnamenti religiosi e morali spesso mettono a fuoco la “virtù" e la “divinità” della bellezza, per delineare la bellezza naturale come un aspetto di una “bellezza spirituale” (ovvero “verità”) e definire tutte le pretese egocentriche e materialistiche pretenziose e basate sull’ignoranza. L’antica storia di Narciso per esempio tratta la distinzione fra bellezza e vanità. Nel contesto moderno, l’utilizzo della bellezza come mezzo per promuovere un’ideologia o un dogma è stato fulcro di dibattiti sociali che trattano argomenti come pregiudizio, etica, e diritti umani. L’utilizzo della bellezza a fini commerciali è un aspetto controverso della “guerra culturale”, all’interno del quale il femminismo tipicamente afferma che tale utilizzo promuove una percezione dogmatica (cioè “Il Mito del Bello”) piuttosto che virtuosa della bellezza.

Bellezza e gusto dell'osservatore sembrano termini inscindibili, in quanto concepire una bellezza indipendente da un qualche osservatore che stia lì per goderla, equivale a pensare ad un dipinto bellissimo dimenticato in una cassaforte da decenni. Oppure ad un fiore che cresce in mezzo ad una foresta invalicabile da umani ed animali (mancando un osservatore, esiste allora la bellezza ?). Tali oggetti possono essere senz'altro concepiti, ma mancano del tutto di quel carattere di interazione pratica (di azione e reazione) con un'intelligenza percettiva, che tendenzialmente riconosciamo al "bello".

Ninfa con i fiori della gloria mattutina, dipinto di Jules Joseph Lefebvre.

Indice

[nascondi]

[modifica] Il concetto aristotelico del "Bello" corrispondente al "Vero".

Il bello per Aristotele e Platone è il "Vero". Nell'età moderna, Giovanbattista Vico afferma un altro criterio, secondo cui il vero è il "fatto" (verum - factum). Unificando questi due criteri ricaviamo la forma occidentale della bellezza, che è inevitabilmente l'arte. Il bello è nell'arte, e la possibilità che la bellezza sia propria della natura è esplicitamente esclusa da Kant nella Critica del giudizio dove definisce il bello naturale come "sublime". Essenzialmente, nella cultura filosofica dell'Occidente il bello si definisce in funzione del giudizio che lo esprime, mentre il "bello in sé" è assolutamente chimerico.

[modifica] Il "Bello" come corrispondente al "Regno delle Idee"

Nel tardo Impero Romano, il filosofo Plotino, ristabilendo il collegamento tra opera d'arte e regno delle idee, espone ampiamente il concetto di visione interiore già proposto da Platone, che permette all'artista di attingere da una forma ideale del bello, non esistente nella res extensa (mondo reale) ma soltanto nella res cogitans (mondo delle idee), e che presto o tardi sfocerà in una rappresentazione materiale. Si può applicare a mai creati dipinti, architetture, forme di governo, sculture, strategie, modelli matematici, ecc. oppure ad un ipotetico essere umano: "il più bello nella storia" ancora non nato.

[modifica] Il giudizio estetico universale ed oggettivo secondo Immanuel Kant:

"Bello" è l'oggetto di un piacere disinteressato, contemplativo.
"Bello" corrisponde al gusto universale, valido per tutta l'Umanità.
"Bellezza" è la forma della finalità di un oggetto percepita senza la rappresentazione di alcuna funzione pratica.

[modifica] I rischi di un estetica radicalmente empirista

Va altresì chiarito dove si nasconda il rischio di un'estetica radicalmente empiristica: questo consiste nel fatto che essa dovrebbe, a rigore, parlare prioritariamente se non esclusivamente degli organi di senso, o della coscienza, che riceve ed unifica i "dati" di bellezza; ma ciò significa trascurare e, alla fine, ignorare completamente gli oggetti cui si accorda o rifiuta lo statuto di bellezza; il che, particolarmente nel caso delle arti umane, risulterebbe oltraggioso per gli artefici e finalmente assurdo, come assurda può essere solo una scienza dell'arte che mostri indifferenza verso le opere!

Tuttavia la tendenza a considerare la bellezza di un oggetto intrinsecamente connessa con un soggetto che lo contempla, il quale "applica" il giudizio all'oggetto, e lo ritiene bello in grazia del concetto di bellezza che porta in sé, appare tanto dubbia quanto insopprimibile, nella nostra cultura estetica.

[modifica] Intellettualizzazione dell'opera d'arte

È peraltro la sintesi di quel processo di intellettualizzazione dell'opera d'arte che rappresenta la più cospicua novità nell'arte di questi ultimi due secoli, dal Romanticismo in poi. L'arte moderna e contemporanea, la hegeliana arte romantica, è segnata dal confronto con l'osservatore - critico in modo profondissimo, tale da non consentire più in alcun modo la spontaneità creativa, l'innocenza primaria del dipinto di Gustave Courbet, L' origine del mondo -innocenza peraltro sapientissima - se non nel ghetto/riserva/colonia penale del genere naif. Da quel momento l'opera d'arte è "operazione" sul corpo dell'arte; ogni nuova opera è osservatrice della totalità della tradizione artistica; chiama in causa la filosofia dell'arte; si fa meta-arte ed in molteplici correnti si traduce in una discesa agli inferi dei materiali dell'arte, fino a congiungersi con il residuale, con l'immondizia.

Uomo Vitruviano, proporzioni del corpo umano

[modifica] Criteri obiettivi nella valutazione di un Opera d'Arte

Criteri classici: armonia nella composizione, rispetto del canone, corrispondenza al vero, chiaroscuro, conformità teologica, perfezione, prospettiva, rispetto delle proporzioni vitruviane, presenza della curva sigma di Hogarth, simbolismo, simmetria, rispetto dello stile che si è scelto.
Criteri moderni: accettazione da parte della critica, asimmetria controllata, astrattismo, contrasto, deformità (in Francis Bacon), iperrealismo, parziale imperfezione che dà l'idea del reperto, impressionismo, messaggio sociale, novità, onirismo, provocazione, simbolismo, stilizzazione, surrealismo.

[modifica] Criteri soggettivi nella valutazione della Bellezza Corporea

Criteri puramente estetici: armonia nella composizione, eleganza, grazia, omogeneità, portamento, proporzioni vitruviane, simmetria.
Criteri di tipo riproduttivo: armonia nella composizione, caratteri sessuali secondari, conformità allo standard genetico e razziale, forza, giovinezza, grandezza dei genitali, intelligenza, salute.
Criteri di tipo genetico: completamento delle proprie lacune o eccessi fisici o mentali, diversità razziale, simmetria.

[modifica] Criteri obiettivi nella valutazione della Bellezza Matematica

Anche le formule matematiche possono essere considerate belle. La formula di Eulero: e^iπ + 1 = 0 è comunemente considerata uno dei più bei teoremi della matematica (vedi Identità di Eulero).
La poetessa Edna St. Vincent Millay scrisse che "soltanto Euclide ha guardato nella nuda bellezza" alludendo all'austera bellezza che molte persone trovano nel ragionamento matematico connesso alla Geometria euclidea.

Altri legami tra la matematica e la bellezza che hanno giocato un ruolo prominente nella filosofia di Pitagora era la possibilità di disporre ed arrangiare i toni musicali in sequenze matematiche, che si ripetono ad intervalli regolari chiamati ottave.

La cosiddetta "Proporzione Aurea", rappresentata dalla lettera greca Phi(Φ), ed approssimativamente uguale a 1.618, è stata considerata da molti "bella". Viene anche chiamata la "divina proporzione" ed è spesso riscontrata in natura. Per esempio, nella conchiglia di un nautilus, il rapporto tra sezioni successive è circa 1.618.

Possiamo trovare parallelismo tra la bellezza matematica e le altre:

Corrispondenza al vero, p.es nelle equazioni che descrivono accuratamente un fenomeno fisico.
Per le equazioni di Mandelbrot si è visto che spesso determinano grafici con proporzioni di tipo vitruviano, oppure si possono graficare in modi che sono simili a generici alberi, montagne, nubi, ecc.
Perfezione (intesa come non violazione della regola che tiene insieme il tutto), come nel Quadrato Panmagico di Nasik o nel Cubo Magico 5x5x5.

[modifica] Criteri obiettivi nella valutazione della Giustizia

La Bellezza delle Leggi, la Giustizia è la forma più alta di bellezza, secondo Platone, che lo esplicita nel Simposio sull'amore noto anche come primo dialogo di Alcibiade servendosi del discorso della anziana e saggia Diotima.

Criteri obiettivi di "bellezza legislativa" potrebbero essere:

Chiarezza e precisione nella definizione dei delitti e delle sanzioni.
Coerenza intrinseca ed uniformità alla Costituzione che genera per emanazione leggi "giuste" ed è conforme ad i principi in essa contenuti;
Proporzionalità (castigo proporzionale al delitto);
Simmetria (la legge è uguale per tutti);
Corrispondenza al vero (punire soltanto il colpevole);
Velocità nell'applicazione (non carcerare il non giudicato).
Grazia ed anche la capacità di redimere il detenuto (una società non perfetta genera individui imperfetti)

Underground City

Montreal stays covered under snow for long periods in winter and it is almost impossible to go out for a shopping in those months. The famous “Underground City" of Montreal will provide you all season shopping experience in Montreal. When it is freezing cold outside, the underground tunnels which join the shopping malls make your shopping experience even better and unique. The underground city tunnels and passageways are spread across over 30 km. In the underground city you can virtually find anything. Every kind of shop is somewhere in the underground tunnel. There are a great number of shopping complexes like The Eaton Centre, Cours Mont Royal, Complex Les Ailes and Place Ville Marie.

Sainte-Catherine’s Street is the main shopping area of Montreal. Almost all major international brands have presence here. Every year in the month of July the merchants of Sainte-Catherine's Street hold a big sidewalk sale. If you are visiting Montreal around that time of the year, then you should visit Saint-Catherine’s Street. You will find great things at relatively low prices. It is the best place in Montreal to buy designer clothes, cosmetics and food.

Quartier Latin (Latin Quarter)

The Latin Quarter is the best place for shopping fashionable clothes and jewelry. St Laurent Street is famous for trendy fashion items. You will find styles much ahead of the season here. Shops selling coats, jeans, casuals, sweater, club wear and shoes are all over the street. St-Denis Street is famous for stone jewelry. Here you will find wonderful natural stone jewelry. Turquoise, coral, agate and hematite are the most commonly used stones in the jewelry sold here. Prices are also reasonable. Located west of St-Denis Street, Mont Royal Avenue is a great place for vintage clothing. If you like to buy unique clothing as souvenirs then you must come here.

The New Orleans shopping experience is very diverse. New Orleans is the city where Jazz was born--a multicultural city and a melting pot of different cultures. It is also one of the oldest cities in the United States, and because of this, it has a great ethnic diversity. New Orleans is one of the biggest cities in the state of Louisiana.

French Market – America’s Oldest City Market

The French Market began as a Native American trading post on the banks of the Mississippi River. Established in 1791, the French Market offers a plethora of shopping options. Open 7 days a week, merchants from all over the world bring with them traditional merchandise to be sold at the Community Flea Market. There are a lot more shops to check-out at the French Market. The French Market is situated at 1008 North Peters.

D’Alley

Be sure to check out 912 N. Peters, where D’Alley is found. This is a non-profit artist’s cooperative, which features the works of New Orleans based artists.

Pop City

New Orleans shopping is also made up of local stores that sell hand made art and apparel. People who are looking for locally produced merchandise for men, women and children should go to 940 Decatur Street and visit Pop City. Tourists can find a wide array of art that is locally made. People can buy wooden pieces in the shape of a fleur de lys or a flaming heart. People can also find hand-made shoes that are less expensive than those found in department stores.

The Shops at Canal Place

These shops are located at the foot of Canal Street, near the Aquarium of America’s, on the edge of the French Quarter. Tourists who are looking for a more upscale shopping experience should visit The Shops at Canal Place. Kenneth Cole, Saks Fifth Avenue, Blue Alligator Designs, Ann Taylor and BCBGMAXAZRIA are a few of the stores located here. This place is just a short walk from most downtown hotels, the Central Business District and the Historic French Quarter.

Plantation Homes

The Plantation Homes offer gift stores selling antiques, dolls and other interesting souvenirs. Destrehan Plantation and Ormond Plantation are two historic Antebellum Plantation homes that are near New Orleans. These are found at the lower Mississippi Valley and were built in the late 1700’s. Both offer some rooms for tourists to experience living in old plantation homes.

**********************************************
New Orleans is one of the most unique cities in the world and the shopping scene reflects this uniqueness.

Wurzburg shopping is something you shouldn’t miss when you are in this city. This Franconia city is one of the most important shopping centers in the entire region. Following are some of the main streets where you can find some good shops and deals.
Schönbornstrasse and Domstrasse
These are two extensive pedestrian zones where tourists will find large departmental stores that offer a wide range of products. From furniture to clothes, toys to accessories, you can find a variety of high-end shops on these two Wurzburg streets. If you are looking for the latest in fashion, you will find many options to choose from. This is because there are a number of fashion outlets on both streets that can meet your every need. Whether you are looking for clothes, shoes or accessories, you can be sure to find them in the Domstrasse or Schönbornstrasse zones. However, shoppers should be aware that these streets are not meant for budget shopping. They are exquisite shops where you will have to spend large amounts of money on your shopping.
Juliuspromenade
Visitors looking for a cheaper shopping experience need not be disappointed. The Juliuspromenade Street has numerous smaller shops that sell a variety of articles. While you do find many designer boutiques and other shops on this street, they are not as extravagant and costly as those found on the Domstrasse or Schönbornstrasse. This is one of the things that make shopping at Juliuspromenade great for budget-minded tourists. Many of the shops located on this street have their own range of items. You might come across something really interesting to buy while browsing through these shops.
Malls
Besides the two streets mentioned above, there are a few malls that you can find in the city. The stores in these malls boast of local and international brands of clothing, shoes and other items. There are a number of wine shops around the town where tourists can buy some of the best wines. The Haus des Frankenweins is one of the best places to visit for wines. Known as the House of Franconian Wine, it organizes wine tastings especially for tourists. In addition to wines, visitors can also buy different kinds of wine accessories from here.

Is a lesser known weekly market on Saturday evenings. It starts with the closing of the street to traffic about 4:30 in the evening but does not get going till around 5:30 to 6:00 due to the heat most vendors hide in the shade till it starts to cool off.

It has many small producers selling their wares from cotton hand painted T-shirts to local ceramics. The prices are good and there you will find some items that are not available anywhere else. It is not as well know with tourists so is a little more fun and less business like than the Sunday market.

Shopping in Zandvoort

2012-01-05T12:05:00.001-08:00

Thanks to http://www.world66.com/
*********************The content is published under a creative commons licence :

It's no shopping paradise, but with the number of tourists it welcomes every year for its beach resorts, Zandvoort Shopping must be of a decent quality.

City Center

The city center is the best place for buying everyday goods: electronics like cameras, suitcases to contain extra shopping and beachwear for those coming unprepared. Shopping in the city center is slightly different from the conventional city. There are no large shopping malls or complexes. Instead, the city center has numerous little shops, each selling their own goods to the public. Those looking for souvenirs can purchase some cheaply here. Antiques and leather-based items come priced reasonably, as do the antique clocks that are available for sale from many of the clock makers here. Those looking to buy something a little less conventional to take home can always look to getting some sweets and confectionery in the form of meringue biscuits, shortbreads or cookies that can be easily packed into the suitcase.

Kaashoek

Located in Haltestraat, this little shop is full of surprises, especially for the tourists. This reflects a typical Dutch shop, constructed in an open air, over-the-top counter with service staff behind it. On shelves and racks are the goods for sale on display: cheese, cured meats, pickles and Dutch delicacies. The shop also sells Dutch wine, made from the vineyards of Holland. Not well known in the world, Dutch wines have a certain homey quality to them that bring about a warmth in the belly for anyone tasting them. All goods are offered for tasting. Samples are placed generously on the counter top for anyone who wants a taste of a particular food item.

Open Markets

These are not strictly proper markets, but rather, small stalls that are set up by people to peddle the goods that they have. Most of these markets occur in a slightly spontaneous, impromptu fashion, where a group merely gathers around an area and others join in. The timing of the markets is generally in the morning to around noontime, although there are those that stretch till the late afternoon. These markets have no fixed date or time, but they occur frequently enough for most tourists who stay in the city past the weekend to enjoy. Markets are the best way to meet the local people and experience their lifestyles, as well as a chance to taste the produce coming out of local farms.

Siem Reap central markets

Monika Jansch

Handicraft and gemstones are among the most important items to buy in Cambodia, Cambodia's culture of handicrafts originates from the early years of the country's history. The ancient traditions were passed from generation to generation. Cambodia is widely renown for its beautiful religious carvings, featuring Indian Ramayana and Mahabharata motifs, and its bas-reliefs. Excellent quality replicas are available in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Intricate wooden boxes and other carvings are also used for ornamentation and furniture in Cambodia and are readily available in souvenir shops. Cambodia has excellent silverware of both classical Khmer and Chinese design which can be bought in the main markets of the capital and hotel shops. Khmer silversmiths' craft intricate silver bowls in the shapes of fruits, elephants, deer, wild pigs, fish and goats. Dancer's anklets, decorated with tiny silver bells are also popular buys.

Precious and semi-precious gemstones are for sale in the markets and shops. Experts might make some good buys, but it is better to be a little careful since guarantees of authenticity are not so readily available and the cutting of the stones usually is less precise compared to western standards. Beautiful textiles, made from silk and cotton, woven in traditional designs and tie-dyed, are also available. A traditional and popular item, mostly made from cotton, is a krama, a coloured, checked scarf. In Cambodia it is used for many part from wearing as scarf. Silk may be embroidered with gold and silver threads, woven with bold vertical stripes, shimmering contrasting colours, or in ancient patterns of elephant, fish and jasmine flowers. It is made into items like dresses and purses. Other crafts include basketwork and pottery, which comes in traditional designs.

Shopping in Hanoi

Painting Shop-Hoi An

http:www.wildlandtour.com

Once you're in Hanoi, shopping can be an exciting adventure. There are plenty of places to pick up souvenirs or just daily necessities, from markets to popular shopping streets and districts. Locals and tourists both agree that shopping in Hanoi is preferable to other large cities such as Ho Chi Minh , so put on your walking shoes and head out to these places for a Hanoi shopping adventure!

Markets

Dong Xuan Market - This is arguably the best market in Hanoi, consisting of 3 stories of excellent shopping in the Old Quarter. The market has everything that you might want to take home to remember your trip to Vietnam, from silk purses to wooden figurines. The prices are also among the cheapest in Hanoi, but don't forget to bargain where possible. The area surrounding the market also becomes a weekend night market, so venture this way when the light starts to fade on a Saturday. Just be wary of pickpockets.
Hang Da Market - This marketplace is somewhat smaller than Dong Xuan , though it, too, consists of 3 stories of wares. A large part of the merchandise is food, wine and flowers, so it's popular with the locals as well. Upstairs you'll find everything from clothing to watches.

Shopping Streets

Hang Gai - Silk Street is definitely the place to go if you're looking for tailor made silk dresses. The street stretches over several blocks and is packed with boutiques that specialize in silks and embroidery. Walk around a bit before buying, as you'll find that prices do vary.
Hang Dao - This street is good for clothing and accessories, including watches, bags and shoes. Just don't confuse this shopping street with Hang Dau , which is another street that caters primarily to shoe addicts.
Cau Gu - Along the blocks that make up Cau Gu you will find what is essentially hair heaven. The boutiques here specialize in hair accessories, from pretty hair pins to extravagant hair jewelry.
Hang Ma - If you're looking for some household goods that will add to the ambiance of your home, look no further than Hang Ma. The shops on this street sell holiday decor, so you're sure to find some pretty things to dot about your house.

There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping in Hanoi. Shopping in Vietnam always includes bargaining, but that is not a license to be rude. It's a general rule of thumb that vendors will charge foreigners more than locals, so it's a safe bet that you can try to negotiate for a lower price. But if the vendor won't budge, quickly decide how badly you want it and either purchase the item or smile and walk away. You should also practice safe shopping by only take out enough money to pay for the item, never displaying large amounts of cash. It's also a good idea to use a money belt or keep your money separated into different pockets or bags. If you do this, you're sure to have a great experience.

So you found the perfect Barcelona hotel, you've engaged a good number of Barcelona activities, and you have at least a dozen Barcelona restaurants under your belt. What's next? Shopping of course! Continue reading to find out about popular Barcelona shops and many of the shops and boutiques the Barcelona travel guides may have missed.

When you want to go shopping in Barcelona you have to keep in mind that most shops are not open during lunchtime/siesta. In general, they're open during weekdays from 10:30 a.m.-2.30 p.m. and from 4:30 p.m-9:00 p.m. On Sundays, most shops don't open their doors.

There are various shopping areas. The most elegant shopping places can be traced at the Passeig de Gracia, the Rambla de Catalunya, Avingunda Diagonal and around Turó Park. Santa Eulalia, Jofré, Comella and Bua are well-known luxury boutiques. If you're looking for something equally elegant but you're on a budget your best bet would be Sugar & Spice on calle Amigo (corner Maria Cubí). On the same street you'll also find one of the nicest childrenwear stores: Nicolí. Amigo and Santaló nearby offer a number of pretty shops, restaurants and trendy bars. Cutting through, calle Madrazo has two of the best boutiques in the area, Anna Cortina and Coquette. If money is no object walk around Turó Park and discover the many boutiques by Jofre, Baby Dior for your demanding kids, Lucio's expensive but original furniture, etc. Another fantastic home design shop can be found at the corner of Paseo de Gracia with Diagonal, while, if you like modern design, Vinçon on the Paseo de Gracia is a must.

If you feel adventorous don't forget to explore the area between the Ramblas and Via Laietana, especially around Carrer de Ferran and Avinyo. Touristic but interesting. Looking for some real big shopping malls? Then look no further than the harbor, home to Maremagnum. This shopping center sells everything that is new, modern, and fashionable. A must-see is also the megastore of El Progreso that has one establishment at Plaça de Catalunya and another one at Diagonal. La Illa on the Diagonal is maybe the most popular shopping mall among residents.

If you are looking for the trendiest area in Barcelona, then head to the Borne to enjoy its bohemian chic atmosphere, and its many restaurants, bars, cafes and terrazzas. There are many fantastic finds along the narrow medieval streets. The best boutiques can be found on the Paseo del Borne and calle Rec. The most impressive are Lobby, Hugo Boss, Coquette (women) and Hamptons (men), but you should also try other well known shops such as Como Agua de Mayo, La Commercial, Custo, Marithe and François Girbaud, the outlet Betty B, and so on. If you are looking for home decoration check out Ivo & Co. The Borne is the perfect shopping experience: you'll be able to enjoy a drink while sitting at a table in one of the many squares and look at the fashionable young set walking by, nibble some tapas or have a good meal at one of the many trendy restaurants in the area. To finish off the day there are numerous bars and clubs in the Borne area to choose from.

Clothes and complements shopping is also a real pleasure in El Raval thanks to all the little one-off boutiques you can find in this unique area on the left side of Las Ramblas. In Elisabets/carrer dels Angels, very near the MACBA Museum, a very special group of shops with Camper, Vialis, Twiggy and Juan-Jo Gallery. Take a tour in this emerging fashion area with bohemian and stylish mood.

If you are more interested in markets, you shouldn't miss out on the Boqueria at the Ramblas which starts early in the morning. A very popular place for youngsters and yups is Santa Rosa de Copán. It has, besides many cafes and bars, over 100 stores that contribute to the lively character of the boulevard making it a popular place to visit. The last main shopping area in Barcelona is the Barri Gothic for trendy streetwear, secondhand clothes, interesting junk, and antiques.

In the 1960’s, a group of young artists in Barcelona used their work to challenge the establishment and to strive for a better future. The movement became known as La Gauche Divine and for two Barceloneses it has become an inspiration and the namesake for their new concept store.

They have created a multi-functional space that combines fashion, music, art and design. Find an offbeat piece of clothing, or relax in El Petit Café, while surrounded by art displays and contemporary beats.

Maremagnum

The Maremagnum Shopping center (which has not only fans amongst the inhabitants of Barcelona) is a big American style shopping mall. Some like it, some don't. I liked the Aquarium next to it, although this is expensive it is worth the trip.

You can find there not only the best shops in Barcelona, also good pubs and curious events... but, the best is the sight that you can have from there: the port, the people... authentic barcelonian people. Good point: Only mall open on Sundays.

Shopping in Utrecht

Not only is Utrecht a great scenic and historical city, it is also ideal for Utrecht Shopping of all kinds. Perhaps the best way to experience the range of shops and boutiques is to go to the waterways of the city and pay for a Gondolier to give you an hour-long tour. Not only will he or she be able to advise you on where to shop, but the gondola itself can take you to the many shops along the canal banks.

Downtown Utrecht

The "old centre" is so named because, although it is no longer the centre of the city geographically, it is still where people do most of their shopping. Traffic of any kind is banned inside the centre except for bicycles, but there is a taxi stand only a short walk away if you have a lot of bags. Although there is a wide range of stores, they are really more geared toward young people, as most of them are fashion and clothing shops. Familiar stores such as GAP can be found here, but there are also shops which reflect more local fashions for young people. You are also most likely to find high-tech products here such as iPods and computers, as Utrecht has its own iStore.

Markets

If you have a small budget, you might want to see if you can pick up some souvenirs in one of Utrecht’s markets. There are two markets in Utrecht, one for flowers and one for more general goods. The general market takes place on Saturdays from 9 to 5, and the flower market is on Saturdays only. This a good place to pick up souvenirs or postcards and stamps to tell your loved ones how much you love the city. Although the Dutch don't generally like to haggle, you may be able to talk some salespeople down on the price of second-hand goods.

Stores and Malls

If the markets give you an appetite for second-hand goods, you might also enjoy shopping in the antique stores next to Utrecht’s Central Station. However, if you have more modern needs, you would probably be better going to Hoog Catharijne, which is actually Holland’s largest shopping mall. You should expect to find all the major Dutch stores here, including HEMA and Bijenkorf, as well as American-themed restaurants such as Frankie and Benny's. Americans will be relieved to know that although this shopping mall doesn’t have a McDonalds, another indoor shopping centre named LaVie does.

Laurier-Quebec

With over 350 stores and 40 restaurants, Laurier-Quebec is Eastern Canada’s largest mall. It contains two department stores: Sears and La Baie-a famous Canadian department store. It is one of the best malls Quebec City as it showcases Canada’s finest retailers including C’est La Vie-a famous Canadian children’s clothing retailer. Once known as Place Laurier, it was the first indoor mall in the city of Quebec so it is rich not only in shops but in history as well.

Place Sainte-Foy

The Place Sainte-Foy is more of an upscale shopping area with stores such as Buffalo Jeans and Zara. An additional 9,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment space is currently being added to this area and is expected to open in 2010. While renovations may be happening, the stores remain open. However, accessing the area is not so easy with certain parking lots under construction. Nonetheless, this is an enjoyable place to shop.

Le Galeries de la Capitale

Located in the Les Rivieres borough of Quebec, Les Galeries de la Capitale is the most visited mall in Quebec City. It has over 280 shops including well-known anchors such as Sears, Le Baie and Zellers. It also has the largest IMAX screen in the country in case you want to take a break from shopping to catch a movie. Mega Parc, an indoor children’s amusement park is also located in this shopping center. It gives children something to look forward to after hours of shopping with mom and dad.

Faubourg Street-Jean Baptiste

This street hosts a variety of unique shops, restaurants and grocery stores. It has a very unique vibe and picturesque feel as the shops are lined up in a row in different colors. Walking through this outdoor shopping area will make you feel like you are roaming the streets of downtown Paris. Proclaimed to be the oldest grocery store in North America, J.A. Moisan, is a popular attraction in this neighborhood. Known for its fine food products including locally produced preserves and cheeses, this is not a place you would want to miss. It’s old-fashion décor and music playing from the 1920’s and 1930’s will bring you back several eras as you enjoy your shopping escapade. Several art galleries, chocolatiers as well as apparel stores can also be found here. The scenery alone is worth the visit.

Rue de Tresor

Located directly across Chateau Frontenac is this artist’s haven of Rue de Tresor. Here you will find local artists working on their crafts which they put up for sale. It is definitely a treat to be able to watch them in action. Having an open-air set up, this is definitely the place to go to pick up a handmade or unique gift to take back home.

A Daily market is on walking distance from "walking street" With twice a week during daytime an extention to a nearby square. Good bargains.

The Local Pataya market, cheap clothing and lots of food Fri/Sat/Sun from 6.00pm until 10.00pm. Thsi market is a bit off the normal track, i suggest ask a motor cycle taxi (30-40 baht from walkingstreet) or if you are in a gruop a normal taxi (expect 80 baht total for a group). Only mention "Talaad Theprasit" and he brings you there within 10 minutes.

Another nice market is in Naklua (North of Pattaya) Come early cause this is also a fish market 5.00am-9.00am. Taxi's go there for around 30 baht per person or in a group for 100 baht.

Tourist night market: Next to Tiffany Cabaret.

***********************************

Pattaya is fast becoming the major shopping hub of Southeast Asia. The huge number of American and European
tourists that come here every year are bringing with them a lot of money and purchasing power. This incoming dollars and euros have attracted many big shopping brands make their footprints in Pattaya. Pattaya Shopping will give
you a unique experience, offering from the state of the art supermarket shopping to shopping in a traditional old
floating market.

General Shopping Tips

Pattaya offers many kind of shopping venues. Supermarkets and departmental stores are mostly very big, offering under one roof kinds of shopping experiences. Department stores sell food items, grocery items, cook ware and daily-need products. In most of the supermarkets the major attractions are international clothing and cosmetic brands along with watches and electronic items. Supermarkets generally have many good restaurants and high standard movie halls. Open-air shops located all over Pattaya are usually small shops selling food and non-food items. These shops generally open late and stay open until very late at night. These shops are generally not air-conditioned and bargaining is a must in these shops. The prices asked to a general tourist are often 100 percent more than the actual price of the items. Shop houses are also very common in Pattaya. These are small shops where the owner lives in the back side or at the top of the shop and uses the front side of the home for business purposes. These shops generally sell daily-need products, cook ware and cleaning products.

In Pattaya shopping is done mostly on a cash basis. Credit cards are accepted in some shops and in most of the
shopping malls. You should be very careful while using your credit cards as credit card frauds are not uncommon in
this part of the world. Thai people are very humble and so a sweet smile on your face while shopping will help you a
lot. They will often appreciate a sense of humor. You should also be aware of the tuk-tuk drivers and taxi
drivers as they often, for their own benefit, will take you to those shopping centers where they get a handsome
commission for bringing tourists.

Major Shopping Malls

Big C is the most famous shopping mall in Pattaya. It has two centers, one in Central Center Pattaya and the
other one is located near the Sukhumvit Road. Big C offers a huge collection of grocery items, food items, cookware
and plenty of other things. The seafood section of Big C is the best in all of Pattaya. Central Festival Pattaya is the biggest beach facing a shopping center in Asia and houses a host of great shops for buying clothes and fashion items. Mike Shopping Mall, situated at the entrance of the Beach Road, has decent collection of international brands in terms of clothes and cosmetics. The departmental store has a very good and inexpensive food court. Royal Garden Plaza, situated near the Marriot Hotel, is a recent addition to the Pattaya shopping landscape. This market has an array of posh boutiques, restaurants, movie halls and a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.

Pattaya Floating Market

Floating markets in all of Thailand were the major business hubs in older times. Pattaya still retains a big floating
market that preserves most of its bygone authenticity. The floating market is situated near Sukhumvit Road. The
market sells fresh vegetables, fish and other seafood items. This market also sells some local art crafts and jewelry
items. This market is a must-visit for a foreign tourist.

Shopping in Cleveland

When you want to do some Cleveland shopping, check out Town City Center located conveniently in the heart of downtown Cleveland. Enjoy browsing or taking advantage of sales and bargains at Borders Express, Bath & Body Works, Brooks Brothers, Charlotte Russe, Jones New York, Johnston & Murphy, Lane Bryant, Lids, Nine West, Trade Secret, Victoria's Secret, and White Barn Candle Company. Town City Center does have a food court with such places as Subway, KFC, and McDonald's. But there are also several fine restaurants to dine at including Morton's The Steakhouse, Hard Rock Cafe, and Muse at The Ritz-Carlton.

Downtown Cleveland has little to offer serious shoppers. Tower City Center and to a lesser extent the Galleria serve as major city-center shopping malls. There are a number of boutiques and art galleries spread thin throughout downtown in places like the Warehouse District, the Old Arcade and Colonial Marketplace.

Outside of downtown there are two excellent neighborhoods with funky alternative shops; Ohio City and Coventry Village. Ohio City is located just west of downtown around the intersection of Lorain Avenue and W.25th. The West Side Market in Ohio City is the last municpally-owned market in the country, and is located in a beautiful building with an old world atmosphere. Coventry Village is located just east of University Circle around the intersection of Mayfield and Coventry. The two best neighborhoods for art galleries in Cleveland are the charming neighborhoods of Tremont located southwest of downtown, and Little Italy located just southeast of downtown. Tremont and Little Italy also offer some of the best dining in Cleveland.

Good antique and thrift store shopping in Cleveland is spread out along Lorain Avenue that goes through the city's west side. A good antique shopping district is also located on Larchmere Boulevard just one block of north of Shaker Square on the city's east side.

The premier shopping in the region and perhaps the entire Midwest outside of Chicago is located in the suburbs, and the collection of retailers at its major shopping centers is quite impressive with Shaker Square, Crocker Park, Beachwood Place, Legacy Village, and Eton Collection. The nice thing about these shopping centers is that they all contain some of the country's best known and exclusive retailers and restaurants with shops and establishments unique to Cleveland

Mood anni 50 per nuova campagna Prada

Cariche di ottimismo immagini targate Meisel

di Lucia Maietti

Mood anni Cinquanta per la nuova campagna Primavera-estate 2012 di Prada targata Steven Meisel.
Inondate dal sole. Cariche di ottimismo. Ragazze e automobili si fermano e guardano al futuro in questa messa in scena del desiderio in technicolor. Le automobili anni Cinquanta tutte muscoli e bielle roventi con le ali posteriori appuntite e la carrozzeria impreziosita da fiamme riflettono i motivi di design della collezione.

Carol Alt

Bellezza glaciale

1 dicembre 1960

Lascia un commento

Film e DVD di Carol Alt

Carol Alt, modella e attrice, è nata a Flushing Point, prestigioso quartiere di Queens di New York, il giorno 1 Dicembre 1960. Volto di perfezione assoluta tanto da sembrare quasi irreale, intraprende dapprima una normale carriera di studentessa iscrivendosi presso la facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell'Hofstra University, ma paradossalmente è proprio qui che viene notata da un impresario del campo della moda e subito reclutata.
E' subito evidente la sua superiorità in termini di stile e di glaciale bellezza, tutte caratteristiche che si adattano benissimo a farne un modello di altezzosità e di irraggiungibilità, ma Carol Alt nella vita reale è ben diversa da questa immagine stereotipata che le hanno cucito addosso; queste doti contribuiscono alla sua rapida affermazione sulle passerelle di tutto il mondo.
Grazie alla "Elite Agency", nome affermato del settore diventa in un battibaleno una modella di grido e strapagata. Poco a suo agio però in questi rigidi panni la bella Carol aspira ad evolversi. Con il viso che si ritrova, ci prova col cinema.
La sua determinazione viene premiata e qualche produttore comincia ad accordarle un certa fiducia e ha così modo di interpretare ruoli di rilievo in film europei. Carol Alt in questo campo si è particolarmente affermata in Italia, grazie alla fiducia che i registi del cinema nostrano hanno riposto nelle sue clamorose virtù esteriori.
L'abbiamo così potuta vedere in film come "Treno di panna" di Sergio Rubini, "La più bella del reame" di Cesare Ferrario e in alcuni titoli di Carlo Vanzina: "Miliardi" e "I miei primi quarant'anni".
A lei è stato attribuito un flirt con il grandissimo campione di automobilismo Ayrton Senna, scomparso prematuramente.
Dalla cronaca apprendiamo invece che durante il suo tempo libero, l'attrice si dedica ai suoi cavalli, gioca a golf, a pallacanestro, guida macchine da corsa e viaggia. Carol Alt, è apparsa in due video e nel primo video di costumi da bagno "Sports illustrated". Inoltre, è stata protagonista di molte campagne pubblicitarie per conto di "Hanes", "Virginia Slims" e "Cover Girl".
La modella ha anche realizzato numerosi poster e calendari.

Le signore sono libere

Tutto e il contrario di tutto, ecco le tendenze della stagione Primavera/Estate 2012 a Milano

di Isabella Rossiello

Tutto e il contrario di tutto, ecco le tendenze della stagione Primavera/Estate 2012 che si sta svolgendo a Milano
Care donne tocca a voi prendere in mano le vostre gonne e accorciarle come vi pare, sul ginocchio, inguinali, longuette e lungo, tutto è permesso per quest’estate 2012.
Missoni si evolve sempre più in modo piacevole e creativo, insieme alle sue famose stampe, ecco arrivare stampe a fiori, trasparenze e frange, asimmetrie e tessuti impalpabili abiti allegri e portabilissimi.
Le stampe di Marni, sono sfacciatamente anni ’70, grandi, esplosive, fiori e geometrie che vestono la mamma ma anche la figlia, borse in tema tutto molto bon ton con ironia.
Frankie Morello come suo solito gioca con le stampe del David su tubini rosa tenue e le gonne di tulle, decisamente molto giovanile e le mamme dovranno stare lontane dal guardaroba della figlia.
Quasi monocromatica la sfilata di Emporio Armani, tanto bianco profilato di nero, elegantissimo con un “niente” per modo di dire, cappellini che saranno un must, “paglietta” bianca con fascia nera e modelle quasi tutte con capello taglio carré, un eleganza basata sulla semplicità in contrapposizione con le stampe fiorate e geometriche imperanti, una sfilata che fa restare senza fiato per la sua bellezza.
Just Cavalli propone una collezione senza estremismi, impera il “flower power” anni ’60 e ovvio il suo marchio di fabbrica, maculati che però qui diventano timidi dettagli o a volte, aggressivi abiti con stampa tigre mitigata dallo chiffon che rende tutto molto leggero.
Prada ancora una volta non si discosta dal suo stile signora “low profile” stampe geometriche “rubate” agli anni ‘ 60 e rivisitate, la gonna plissé e il twin set con lei hanno rivissuto stagioni di rinnovata gloria.
Krizia ci veste di seta e pepli smitizzati da alte cinture in pelle, i colori variano dal verde bandiera al bianco e non mancano short e pantaloni alla marinara.
Gucci punta su blazer corti e molto “importanti” con tessuti preziosi e impreziositi di grafismi e stampe floreali stilizzate, pantaloni a vita alta e pance fuori decisamente out.
Pucci scinde la sua donna in due, una elegante “gangster” degli anni ruggenti e una fascinosissima zingara, tra loro s’incunea una signora che osa con top fasciante o a reggiseno e gonna rigorosamente sul ginocchio.
Ebbene sì c’è da scegliere, zingara o bambola, signorina di buona famiglia o vamp…signore siete libere.

Capri Watch E’ arrivata la “MultiJoy Collection”, il regalo di Natale piu trendy

Capri Watch

E’ arrivata la “MultiJoy Collection”, il regalo di Natale piu trendy

di Andrea Leccardi

Natale è alle porte e, per i tantissimi appassionati delle lancette e di Capri, la Capri Watch ha lanciato finalmente la tanto attesa “MultiJoy Collection”: una serie di tredici modelli, non a caso il numero simbolo per eccellenza della fortuna, nati sulla scia del grandissimo successo suscitato nella passata stagione dal “MultiJoy”, il primo di una lunga e fortunata serie di orologi.
Dopo aver già proposto nei mesi scorsi due primi assaggi della nuova linea, il “MultyJoy Mini” ed il “MultyJoy Casual”, l’anima creativa dell’azienda Silvio Staiano ha proposto stavolta una gamma di offerte che spazia dal coloratissimo con cinturino e fondo blu impreziosito da pietre colorate al sobrio ma pur sempre scintillante “MJ White” , fondo e cinturino bianco con swarovski nel quadrante e ghiera in oro rosa, perfetto per ogni occasione della giornata di una donna moderna e briosa così come del resto il “MiniJoy” , l’unico con cinturino in maglie d’acciaio che gli conferiscono una doppia anima: sportiva e glamour al tempo stesso. Ancora, al variare delle combinazioni di pietre, cinturino e ghiera variano naturalmente anche gli altri modelli.
Non cambia, invece, l’idea di fondo che ha ispirato la collezione e cioè il desiderio di andare incontro alle esigenze modaiole di un pubblico al passo con i tempi che, attento alle tendenze, ha suggerito la stupenda realizzazione di questa linea di luccicanti orologi che furoreggia nelle vetrine dei negozi più glamour. Per questo Natale insomma un primo problema è risolto: regalare un Capri Watch è il modo più sicuro di rendere felici le donne che amano la cura e i dettagli.
Dotata di casse di grande design e quadranti multi strass colorati impreziositi dai cristalli variegati la nuova collezione della Capri Watch è già online sul sito www.capricapri.com e vanta un meccanismo affidabilissimo. Infatti, ogni orologio è coperto dall’esclusiva garanzia di cinque anni offerta a tutti i suoi clienti come segno distintivo di qualità ed attenzione al cliente.
Le varie creazioni appartenenti alla “MultiJoy Collection” hanno un prezzo che varia dai 130 ai 190 euro e che non tradiranno le aspettative dei clienti.

Italia Independent Ha inaugurato ad Alessandria il secondo monomarca italiano

Italia Independent

Ha inaugurato ad Alessandria il secondo monomarca italiano

di Antonio Galluzzo

Giovedi 17 novembre Italia Independent ha inaugurato ad Alessandria, il secondo monomarca italiano. Il secondo store I-I italiano rispecchia la filosofia del brand con un design inedito creato da Changedesign, l’azienda di design multiculturale e multidisciplinare fondata da Renato Montagner, che firma i progetti e la direzione di tutti i punti vendita Italia Independent. Il monomarca di Alessandria è unico nel suo genere: gli interni, realizzati in esclusiva per I-I, hanno arredi innovativi, come le sedie e i cubi con finitura color oro brillante e il tavolo ispirato alla Fiat 500, presentato lo scorso aprile in occasione del Salone del Mobile a Milano. Il design e i dettagli all’interno dello store hanno un’ispirazione industriale che è facilmente individuabile nella rete metallica, solitamente utilizzata per le scale di sicurezza, rivisitata come parete espositrice, o nelle colonne contenenti gli accessori, che richiamano le condutture delle fabbriche. Presenti anche in questo monomarca, come ad Alassio e nello showroom milanese di Italia Indepenent, la carta da parati colorata raffigurante animali, la parete azzurra, la barra appendiabiti in acciaio e carbonio e la parete gessata bianca e nera. All’interno dello spazio si trova, inoltre, un camerino che prende ispirazione dalla tenda da campeggio realizzato in metallo e tessuto giallo ignifugo, che si può facilmente spostare da una parte all’altra dello spazio. Nel monomarca piemontese si può trovare tutto il mondo Italia Independent: occhiali, abbigliamento, accessori e caschi. Per la serata di inaugurazione sarà inoltre presente anche la vodka I-Spirt, la vodka Made in Italy nata dalla collaborazione fra Arrigo Cipriani con il suo Harry’s Bar, Lapo Elkann e Marco Fantinel.
“Siamo molto felici di inaugurare questo store ad Alessandria sulla scia del successo di Alassio sempre con lo stesso partner: Enrico Mossi e il Gruppo Ottica Ottobelli. Il nostro obiettivo è avvicinarci al pubblico e fare conoscere sempre meglio il nostro marchio che vuole essere traseversale sia per posizionamento prezzo che prodotto” ha dichiarato Andrea Tessitore, presidente e amministratore delegato di Italia Independent.

100 alberi d'autore

La Perla e Lardini partecipano

di Carmen Guadalaxara

La Perla partecipa alla XVIII edizione dei "100 Alberi d'autore", manifestazione ideata da Sergio Valente che, come ogni anno, ha l'obiettivo di raccogliere fondi a scopo benefico. Quest'anno il ricavato andrà a favore di Nps Italia Onlus, per il progetto di tutela legale dei diritti delle persone sieropositive e dei loro familiari. L'evento si terrà questa sera nello spazio espositivo della famiglia Fendi di Via Borgognona a Roma. In occasione dell'asta benefica "La Perla" ha realizzato un albero con addobbi di lingerie in pizzo leavers: reggiseni microscopici, sottovesti di pizzo per fatine, come in Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie i capi più rappresentativi del mondo "La Perla" diventano miniature fatte a mano, decorazioni preziose in bianco e rosso per un magico albero di Natale.
Anche l'azienda di abbigliamento maschile Lardini sostiene il progetto. E lo fa donando un albero che è stato realizzato secondo i canoni tradizionali sartoriali. Così, la struttura in legno sagomato è rivestita con tessuto del lanificio "Casentino" e rifinita con cuciture interamente a mano. Gli addobbi multicolor sono i fiorellini in feltro, simbolo distintivo delle giacche Lardini, cuciti a mano con filo argento, preso dal cono che caratterizza il puntale dell'albero. Sotto l'albero, che verrà venduto insieme agli altri alberi d'Autore a sostegno dell'associazione Nps Italia, anche una giacca sartoriale destrutturata.

Il generale Inverno arriva…sì ma con tacco 12 La neve non arriva e non fa nemmeno tanto freddo, però è meglio prepararci con cappottini dal taglio geometrico e colori tenui

Il generale Inverno arriva…sì ma con tacco 12

La neve non arriva e non fa nemmeno tanto freddo, però è meglio prepararci con cappottini dal taglio geometrico e colori tenui

di Isabella Rossiello

La neve non arriva e non fa nemmeno tanto freddo, però è meglio prepararci con cappottini dal taglio geometrico e colori tenui come quello presentato da Hermes, o il completo color ghiaccio, pantaloni e giaccone con bottoni gioiello di Comptoir des Cotonniers.
I piumini, di nuovo in auge sono stati presentati da quasi tutte le Maison, impeccabili i cappotti in panno color cammello, stiloso quello di Liu-Jo, per sentirsi molto bon ton.
Altro grande ritorno è il Principe di Galles, presentato da Ferré e da Zegna per uomo, ma non solo, anche Ferragamo ne ha fatto una bandiera per questo inverno.
Poi ci sono le mantelle, bellissime quelle dei I Blues Club per un look decisamente urban-country, i cappotti si sono allungati, in alpaca e mohair di Sportmax o il maxicoat con grandi revers di Ermanno Scervino. Altro ritorno: lo spigato, quello di Sisley o il mix di Aniye By, con panno grigio, lana spigata e bordi in velluto.
Anche i giacconi sono un must, corti o più lunghi si portano con le gonne maxi, con abiti eleganti per un mix sport-glam, da aviator con pantaloni slim, in tartan stile taglialegna americani, Rinascimento invece propone il giaccone rosso intenso, con collo abbondante e cinturone nero in vita.
Questo sopra…ma sotto?? Abiti, in fresco lana, cotone stretch, o jersey, i tubini sono gli “star of the year”, con scollature a tulipano, a cuore, a barchetta, per tutti i gusti e tutti i seni, o abiti lunghi e svolazzanti anche di giorno come quello con stampa floreale di H&M, le stampe paisley di Mango, o anche gonna e maglia coloratissima come quella di Givenchy, abitini davvero mini da Tally Weijl per sentirsi super sexy.
Abiti drappeggiati come quello di Naugthy Dog giallo ocra, asimmetrico con borchie e paillette di Gaudì, must di questo inverno sono i colletti stile college come quello di Petit Bateau.
I pantaloni sono alla caviglia in panno, in velluto come quelli di Marni, il jeans vede un grande ritorno e poi ci sono i pijama pants di Intimissimi portati anche fuori casa, gli skinny pants in pelle per le rockettare ma non solo e i pantaloni rigati di Naf Naf, pantaloni in crèpe a vita alta tutti portati con camicette di pizzo, di jeans, pull a collo alto, t-shirt magari portate l’una su l’altra, ton sur ton o tinta unita, giro collo o a V e a righe per un look sempre sbarazzino.
Per le scarpe vale anche d’inverno il tacco 12 e più, con grandi fiocchi, a punta tonda e open toe, i cuissassardes in Suede come quelli rosso scarlatto di Roger Vivier o in pitone di Sergio Rossi, ma anche i mitici boots di Dr. Martens, con lacci e suola carrarmato, per Trussardi lo stivale è in pelle morbida o in alternativa ci sono gli originali sneakers in shearling dedicate decisamente ai giovanissimi che amano il partner look.
I biker boots di Frye per le più aggressive e i mocassini dal tacco altissimi presentati da Just Cavalli, un’ idea per le feste sono gli open toe con tacchi a specchio di Pollini, difficili da essere ignorati, per chi ama il tacco 5 invece ecco il modello sparking anni ’60 di Simona Barbieri o il decolleté “confetto” di Geox.
Borse grandi e pochette anche di giorno, gioielli grandi, guanti e cappelli di tutte le fogge completano il nostro look…caro inverno sei sistemato.

Nasce "Little Marc Jacobs"

In collaborazione con Cwf

di Carmen Guadalaxara

Si ispira alle linee Marc Jacobs e Marc by Marc Jacobs la nuova "Little Marc Jacobs", frutto della collaborazione tra Marc Jacobs International e il gruppo Cwf, fantasiosa reinterpretazione dell'universo dello stilista per bambine e bambini da 0 a 12 anni. Declinata in tre temi inediti e intercalata dalla firma iconica di Marc Jacobs, la collezione si caratterizza per un'eleganza mai troppo seria.
Per l'inizio stagione nella linea Marc by Marc Jacobs delicati uccellini spiccano delicatamente il volo per posarsi su bluse e vestiti in twill. La maglieria, regina della collezione, è lavorata a twist su base di neoprene lurex e va portata su pantaloni taglio slim tinti per immersione.
Il cappotto in lana garzata con interno a quadri matelasse' è falsamente modesto ed esaltato da fiocchi in contrasto con i top ultra-graphic e graziosamente ornati di strass. Il montgomery rivisitato in versione "finta pelliccia fantasia" è divertente e avvolgente. I tradizionali pois sbocciano su bluse e giacche in satin blu per riproporsi, in versione micro, sulle camicie in stile preppy della linea garçon. I rossi e i blu intensi abbinati al verde cedro prendono vita accanto ai vivacissimi tocchi arancio.
In inverno il vestito in pelle dorata ispirato a Marc Jacobs è un must-have. Le righe multicolori riscaldano top e giacche mentre lo stampato finto mimetico ravviva le morbide giacche in crepe. Un insolito bestiario metropolitano introduce il tema guest star: le rifiniture in mylar esaltano la cresta di una creatura a metà tra il leone e il gatto mentre un rinoceronte si propone su una giacca a maglia. Zip e profili dorati intercalano il glam delle silhouette.Le nuance cromatiche autunnali si ravvivano accanto ai rossi luminosi.
Nel pieno della stagione fredda, per un capodanno chic e scintillante il tema è un'allusione alla moda degli anni '50. Sottane e pantaloni carota in flanella di cotone si abbinano a top serigrafati anni '50 e tee-shirt con collo alla lavalliere. Un'esplosione di cuori viola accende le giacche satin, i cardigan a maglia e il parka "girly chic".
I pois e i delicati fiocchi come quello in lurex crochet si posano sulle bluse in modal jersey. Il vestito in tulle ricamato con fasce d'argento e i cardigan ornati di lurex argentato, completano il guardaroba.

Roberto Cavalli veste Laura Pausini

Per il suo Inedito World Tour

di Antonio Galluzzo

Saranno disegnati da Roberto Cavalli gli abiti che Laura Pausini indosserà sui palcoscenici mondiali per il suo World Tour, al via il 22 dicembre dal dal Forum di Assago di Milano, che segue il lancio del nuovo album "Inedito". "Ho sempre ammirato la passione, la grinta e l'energia di Laura. Una donna - dice Cavalli - di grande personalità, capace di trasmettere emozioni forti con la potenza della sua voce. Laura è come la mia moda: energica, vibrante e positiva… ed è per questo che sono stato molto felice di aver realizzato gli abiti per questo suo importante ritorno discografico".

Il termine moda indica uno o più comportamenti collettivi con criteri mutevoli.

Questo termine è spesso correlato al modo di abbigliarsi.

[modifica]

Storia della moda

La moda nasce dalla necessità umana correlata alla sopravvivenza di coprirsi con tessuti, pelli o materiali lavorati per essere indossati. Nei secoli ha assunto un valore non più prettamente utilitaristico, ma ha causato categorizzazioni sociali e di classe.

[modifica]

Gli inizi

La moda ha origne coi sarti e le modiste che confezionavano abiti per persone che volevano manifestare il proprio rango o semplicemente volevano un capo di eleganza.

Dall'inizio del novecento si iniziano a distinguere i primi stilisti, quindi non più sarti ma persone che creavano nuovi tagli, nuove stoffe e nuovi canoni nel modo di abbigliarsi. Spesso facevano schizzi su carta e creavano il vestito poi con l'aiuto di sarti che conoscevano meglio il modo di lavorare i tessuti.

Gli stilisti da questo momento erano solo per l'élite poiché i costi per l'ideazione e per la prduzione erano molto alti. Via via col passare dei decenni si smise di produrre nel laboratorio - chiamato, dal francese, atelier - per essere prodotto in forma industriale ed essere quindi alla portata della massa.

A visit to Florence (Firenze) must include a Florence shopping spree. Here are a few places where you can get some good shopping deals in Florence.

San Lorenzo Market

This is on of the biggest and best shopping destinations in Florence, Italy. The San Lorenzo Market is situated just next to the San Lorenzo/Cappelle Medicee. The market is a good place to find a wide variety of leather goods like bags, wallets, belts and shoes. The market also has shops selling souvenir items and memorabilia, as well as ready-made clothes, jewelry, Murano glass and Venetian masks. The market also has a fruits and vegetables section.

Ponte Vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio offers visitors an extraordinary shopping experience. The Ponte Vecchio is one of the oldest bridges in Florence and it is located in Borgo San Jacopo, over the Arno River. There are several jewelry shops that sell intricate pieces of jewelry made of gold, silver and plated metals which comes with an affordable price tag. Besides jewelry, you can also pick up leather goods, chinaware, mosaic tiles and other items at Point Vecchio.

Mercato Centrale

This is a simple a shopping destination in Florence which is packed with fabulous goods and luscious food items. Mercato Centrale is located right in the heart of the city, just a few steps away from San Lorenzo. This is the place to buy Italian food items like pasta, cheeses, dried fruits, and meat cuts. Mercato Central also has souvenir items, leather goods and ready-made clothing. If you are good at bargaining, this is a great place to try out your skills.

Mercato Nuovo

This is yet another great place to shop around in Florence. Mercato Nuovo, or New Market, is situated in Calimala, just across Via por Santa Maria. Here you can find almost everything Florence has to offer, from leather goods, to marble and silk. There are dozens of stores in Mercato Nuovo and most of them offer goods at affordable prices; however, make sure to compare prices and quality between stalls before buying anything. The highlight of Mercato Nuovo is the Fontana del Porcellino, which is comparable to Rome's Trevi Fountain.

Bartolucci

If you are looking to buy some real pieces of art, then Bartolucci is the best place to go. Here you can find traditional craft stores where you can see and buy handcrafted artwork in natural pinewoods. The artwork come in different sizes and themes. The one-of-a-kind, world-class artistry of the Bartolucci Family is just superb.

=====================================================

From gold and jewelry and high-end fashion designers to discount shops and department stores, Florence has a vibrant and varied shopping scene that visitors say is one of the best in all of Italy. In addition to a variety of shops, boutiques and upscale shopping venues, Florence is also famous for shoemaking. In fact, one of the main streets in Florence is named after a shoemaker! The street, Calzaiuoli, is just one way the city shows it's appreciation for all of the contributions shoemakers have made to the city's economy over the decades -- even centuries! Continue reading through the listings to check out some of the top places to shop during your Florence vacation.

This unique bridge is like no other. Ponte Vecchio (972 A.D.), the oldest of Florence’s six bridges, is more like a street than a bridge as it “houses” a wide variety of interesting shops that seem to hang right over Arno River. The shops have been a part of this bridge since the 12th century. Sights and highlights include: an assortment of excellent gold and jewelry shops, beautiful views of the Arno River (several panoramic terraces), the Bust of Cellini, and Corridoio Vasariano. Ponte Vecchio is free to explore 24/7/365 and it is in the pedestrian zone.

Gucci Headquarters
Edit This

Even if you can’t afford it, at least you can take a look around then brag about how you actually visited the Gucci headquarters in Florence, Italy. The façade is absolutely gorgeous, so it's a trip you won't forget -- even if you do walk away with empty hands. But, if you can swing it (wink), it may be worth it to pick up something at the Gucci headquarters – maybe a wallet? You will treasure it forever and it will, in fact, last forever.

Shopping in Nice

One of the major cities in France for choosing a vacation spot is Nice. Shopping is right up there with enjoying a day out at the beach or doing any of the other activities in Nice. The main streets and side venues are filled with people seeking to find that special bargain or just out looking at what is here.

Magenta Square for Fashion Clothes

Walking along the sidewalks and promenades is where you want to start. This is the place to be seen for those who want to be seen. Prominent people from many countries use Nice as their shopping place. All the newest fashions are on display here. Shopping here at the Magenta Square is virtually an art. Picking out the correct stores and purchasing just the right outerwear and underwear is just so, Chic. For you who like top-of-the line clothes, Rue Paradis and Rue de Suede house the best you can get. Yet not everyone can do this. So for those who like to have some cool shopping with a less dent in the purse there are places for you. Avenue Jean-Medecin is a great shopping mall that has many of the more well known outlets. Many other boutiques or stores along the side streets can offer bargains for you while you stroll through the city even if you have a tight budget.

Artwork and Crafts

The streets around the center section of the metropolis section of the city are filled with all kinds of artistic shops hosting anything from paintings to pottery and chocolates. Artists, both highly respected for their work and those just beginning, display their work. If you are a fan of artwork, this place is for you. In addition to the central location several other sites have specialties to showcase. Silk lampshades and hand-carved furniture are available at the Atelier Contre-Jour. While at the (flea market) Marche a la Brocante, antiques are on sale at the Cours Saleya marketplace on Monday nights.

Cours Saleya

As you wander through this marketplace during the daytime you can see why so many people praise it for its beauty. Open-aired vendors have flowering plants for sale which sprout every color under the sun. Any kind of spices you could want are sold here. You will find huge succulent grapes and tasty olives being a favorite here in Nice. The market for produce begins in the early morning around 6 a.m. in the morning and continues until noontime. Other items available like mementos and souvenirs are usually available until 6 p.m. in the evening.

Shopping in Porto

Much of the Porto shopping is for the residents and not tourists. Many of the retail centers have turned into malls. This city is quite large and is the largest in the northern part of Portugal. The main historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city itself is named after the popular and famous Port wine.

Shopping Malls

Some of the newest shopping malls are the Centro Comercial Peninsular, Centro Comercial Via Caterine and the Praca do Bom Sucesso. Santa Caterina Street is a pedestrian street that is lined with shops. Many of the storefronts have been designed to resemble those you would see in the older folkloric villages found in the northern part of the country.

Fashion and Upscale Shops

There are many clothing stores selling items created by famous designers of France, Italy and Spain. You also can find a few upscale stores in the shopping malls. Upscale shopping can be found in the Centro Comercial Aviz which interestingly is surrounded by many auto dealerships. Two other options include the Rua Eugenio de Castro, Rua do Bom Sucesso and the centro comercial Cidade de Porto.

Markets

The weather is always nice in Porto and there are many open air markets. A great market that sells products from all over the country is the Mercado de Bolao which sells kitchen equipment, food, spices, and sand flowers. This market is spread out over several blocks and is found at Rua de Santa Caterina. The Mercado das Flores offers potted plants from April to October and at Mercado dos Passaros you can buy a caged bird.

Artisan Products

Portugal is famous for the Arraiolos carpets. These carpets are made of wool and have beautiful patterns that use a wide range of colors. Women spend hours handcrafting these rugs. You also can find plenty of artisan gold jewelry. The two leading jewelers are Eylsee Joias and David Roasas. You can find gold chains, gemstones and wristwatches. A great place for traditional handicrafts is the Regional Center of Traditional Artson on Rua de Reboleira.

Accessories, Clothing and Perfume

You can get many international perfumes and the best place with the widest selection is the Perfumaria Castilho. The best place to find women’s fashion is Ana Salazar and her show room is quite something to behold. The prices are more expensive than others in Portugal but much less than other fashion houses in Europe.

Salt Lake City has a wide variety of stores and shopping experiences. Everything from huge sprawling indoor malls (the indoor mall was invented here, with Cottonwood Mall being the first back in the early 60s) to independent and funky boutiques, secondhand, and offbeat sort of shops. Check out Trolley Square, the former Salt Lake Light and Rail car barns which once housed the city's streetcars. Now the old car barns are filled with trendy shops and restaurants. Lots of interesting shops of varied diversity are also located up and down State Street, old US-89. Everything from Mexican boot shops to secondhand fashion and exotic car dealerships can be found here. Plan on driving; the valley is a big region and a car is needed, although excellent light rail and bus service exists in the area.

Crossroads Plaza

Once the center of downtown life, Crossroads Plaza was demolished in 2007. This was a fantastic shopping center but it's now a fading memory. Legend has it that the Mormon Church now owns the land, and will create something with it in the near future, something that will tie in with Temple Square to the north. Meanwhile, a gaping wound remains in the downtown fabric. Crossroads, we'll miss you.

Shopping in Lisbon

Lisbon is also a city for shopping, where you can choose between traditional shops and modern shopping malls. The best parts for shopping is the pedestrians area between Praça do Comércio and Largo S. Domingos Here you’ll find lots of fashionable shops with all the great international brands. If you really want to spend a lot of money, go shopping on the Avenida da Liberdade . The best tourist shops are around the Castello S. Jorge, if you want to buy some local specialties, you’d better go to Bairro Alto and avoid the touristical highlights.

If you prefer big shopping malls, and shop at very reasonable prices, you shouldn't miss Colombo, one of the biggest malls in Europe. It can be reached easily through underground, just take the Blue Line and leave on Colégio Militar station.

------

If you are looking for great shopping at inexpensive prices in Europe then Lisbon shopping is the best you will find. This city offers great shopping but at much lower prices than other cities in Western Europe. A lot of the shops are worth entering not just for the products but also for the decoration and architecture.

Shopping Areas for Alternative and High-end Goods

If you are looking for high fashion and the popular international brands then you should go to Avenida da Liberdade and the Chiado Quarter. The Avenida da Liberdade is the main avenue in the city as it is reminiscent of the Champs-Elysees in Paris. This avenue contains Emporium Armani, Escada, Carolina Herrera, Ermenegildo Zegna, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton and D&G.

The Chiado is the cultural center of the city and has a history that dates back to the 16th century. The Chiado contains shopping, a theater. cafes and bookshops. It is here where you can find Hermes, Cartier and other art nouveau jewelry shops.

If you are looking for alternative fashion then visit the Bairro Alto, near the Chiado, which is the bohemian heart of the city. It is in this area that you will find the writers and artists. While the area is very quiet during the day, it is transformed at night. The alternative stores stay open late into the night and you will find a wide range of individuals here.

Markets in the City

The Feira de Ladra is the main flea market and translates into "Thieves’ Market." This market or a version of it has been occurring in the city since the 12th century. This market is found in the Sao Vincente de Fora district on the Campo de Santa Clara Street. The start is by the Tram 28 stop at the Arco de Sao Vincente. Here you can find furniture, CD’s, stamps, military objects, clothes, artisan goods and much more.

The Ribeira Market is the largest open-air food market in the city. It is open all days of the week except Sunday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. It is here that you will find a huge selection of seafood, spices, fruits, herbs, meats and vegetables. There are items that make the mouth water and those that can make you lose your appetite. This is also the least expensive place to buy food.

Shopping Malls

Lisbon has some of the largest shopping malls found in Europe with Colombo being the most popular. It contains many stores, a leisure complex, a cinema, a roller coaster, a bowling alley, restaurants and a go-cart track. El Corte is the largest department store. The oldest shopping mall is Amoreriras. The Armazens do Chiado is the most central and the top floor contains restaurants and cafes.

Every saturday, a flee market takes place at the race-track of San Jordi. You can find the so-called 'Hippy Markets' along the Carrer d'Enmig and its off-streets. The stands sell everything, but are specialised in local art and souvenirs. It's worth the effort to go there and have a look around.
