Bravo, Stefano! Okay, I will say it again… BRAVO! I guess all things happen for a reason and here you are with your first collection for Ermenegildo Zegna and what a statement you have made! My only reservation is that the palette looks a bit more somber and like fall, but the clothes are sublime… and prove…

Salvatore Ferragamo Men’s – Spring|Summer 2014
I just saw the collection and it was beautiful in so many ways. I know Massimiliano Giornetti has been exploring with many techno fabrics, skewing the collection a bit younger. I really do miss some of the elegance from previous collections, though. Anyways, I love the vivid colors and the ease of the clothes- everything sort…
Bottega Veneta – Men’s Spring|Summer 2014
I know I am not the most faithful of fans, but I always look and I am always happily surprised when Tomas Maier hits the mark and this season he hit it out of the park. I really love this collection; it sure does look chic and he sure found a way to show off…

Harbingers of Design: Fromental Wallpaper
I am proud to say that I have found the Charles James of wall coverings or the haute couture of interior design. The brand is FROMENTAL, the product is sublime and really beyond my writing abilities as no matter how much I try, I will never fully do the product justice. In all my years,…
We Bid Farewell to Legendary Hairdresser Mr. Kenneth Battelle
Today, I write these sentences with celebration in mind, to commemorate the life of someone who became far larger than life. The world lost legendary hairdresser Mr. Kenneth Battelle a few days ago, a gentleman whose life came with triumphant success and who rose to become a household name in the 1960s. If one thing…
Palatial Pools Around The World
For the longest time, summer has been synonymous to escapes of elation & relaxation, aquamarine waters & abundant sunshine. And for anyone who resides in a city, vacations are a necessity. It’s the time to retreat to exotic locations on the globe & claim sanctuary in lands ruled by the emperor sun. The invitations are…
From The Atelier of Jewelry Designer Rodrigo Otazu
As a designer, I see things from a very particular point of view. Istanbul stole my heart: the lights, the colors- the mix of the 2 from where I stood at a certain point and how they reflected off of and danced in the air were so impeccable, powerful, and perfect. This gave a reason…
