Black velvet dress
No introduction is needed to the black velvet dress; a timeless staple of the winter wardrobe that gets a makeover. The velvet dress can really have many souls, from office to ceremony. You just need to know how to choose and match it. The black velvet dress, with its versatile, wrap-around and truly feminine appeal, is the ultimate in elegance for a special occasion or end-of-year party. In the haute couture scene, there are many designers who have presented their idea of the velvet dress on the catwalk, redefining the concept of "classic" and shaping it to make it current and cool; there are many variations on the theme, and they do not only concern the fit or the length of the hemline, because the proposals can actually also take shape through the season's trendy colors, which complement the timeless total black look. When you want to be flawless but are in a quandary about what dress to wear, there will always be a velvet dress to solve the situation in a jiffy: it should not be pulled out only for end-of-year parties, or for other special occasions: street style and fashionistas have already flaunted it, turning it into a garment to be used every day, and for every situation, especially for elegant dinners and evenings. My model of black silk velvet dress, long and with a slightly flared bottom; mysterious and charming, it has long sleeves, bias workmanship, with particular play of draping and refined details. Matching it is a handbag lined with silk fabric, containing, inside, a pretty coin purse.
Red sheath dress with petals
The sheath dress is the perfect dress for special occasions. There are timeless dresses that make you feel elegant and flawless on any occasion. The sheath dress turns out to be the garment par excellence for enhancing the beauty and femininity of every woman. This dress is a true passe-partout that looks good on just about everyone and can be worn in any context. In all its forms, volumes, materials and colors, it has been the star of the collections of Dior, Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and Prada, but history teaches us that the sheath dress, whether renewed or similar to the original, always embodies perfection. Seductive, chic, delicate and perfect for minimizing small flaws, this garment becomes the ally for special situations, but not only, since its versatility allows you to venture with less sophisticated combinations, thanks to which you can dilute the classic style. Even today, the best fashion brands and internationally known designers still offer the sheath dress that fits, without any problem, any physique and in so many versions. In fact, the collections include long, short, particularly tight-fitting, more or less low-cut versions with original details. We must also add that the fit is comfortable, an aspect appreciated by women who always like to feel comfortable and move with complete freedom. This red, ankle-length sheath dress I offer in a sleeveless version; elegant and eye-catching in crépe cady fabric. Accompanied by a hairband hand-lined with the same fabric. Detail of petals applied on the neckline, removable. Essential for not going unnoticed.
Gray pantsuit
The Tailleur is the counterpart of the men's suit and, in the 1980s, symbolized the professional rampantism of career women. The first was made in 1885 by English tailor John Redfern for the Princess of Wales, taking up the styles of the so-called German hongreline. The suit made by Redfern was no-frills, paired with masculine accessories (such as a vest and tie), but was anything but comfortable. Despite this, it symbolizes one of the first steps toward women's emancipation. In the late 1920s Mademoiselle Coco, freed women from unnecessary constraints by making a soft jersey suit, feminine and practical, with a knee-length skirt. In the fashion world, the suit has found much success, especially in ready-to-wear fashion shows. In 1966 Yves Saint Laurent proposed a pantsuit and transformed it into the first women's tuxedo suit, making it eye-catching and extremely sensual. In the following decades to the present, the pantsuit has paraded on dozens of runways, continually reinventing itself in colors, fabrics and cuts, now rigorous, now provocative, worn like a second skin with nothing underneath, as Armani suggested in 1993. The pantsuit thus discovers its dual soul: on the one hand the confident, convention-defying, masculine and provocative at the same time; on the other hand the fairy-tale allure, romantic and elegant. My pantsuit is in Loro Piana's 130's wool fabric, over line and fit; jacket with inside pocket and handmade buttonholes. A timeless garment of women's fashion.
Structured bustier top in crépe
My structured crépe bustier top is lined, with a zipper closure. Refined, exclusive and very comfortable, with invisible zipper back opening. Sleeveless and strapless bustier, straight line that accompanies the bust silhouette, hip length; it is perfect for elegant and sophisticated evenings. Its strength is its versatility: elegant and sophisticated, worthy of grand occasions; more practical and casual when worn with pants or pencil skirt of the same color. The corset (now bustier top) is a garment that has a long history behind it. Originally worn in the 16th century, the corset was used to shape the female figure, creating an hourglass silhouette. Over the centuries, the corset has become a symbol of femininity and seduction, but it has also been opposed for its effects on women's health. However, in recent years, the corset is experiencing something of a resurgence, becoming a fashion item again. Celebrities and influencers around the world have begun wearing bustiers as crop tops or as overlays on other garments. This new way of wearing the corset made the garment more accessible and less restrictive.
Black wool pants with pleats
My black wool pants with front pleats, classic and unfailing tailored cut, minimal and sophisticated, side pockets and welt pockets at the back, are very comfortable, but also emblem of elegance and sophistication. Very accurate belt and trim details. It is suggested that it be paired with a crépe cady bustier top in the same color. The outfit makes the woman a true protagonist of an evening. With its clean lines and relaxed fit, it represents the perfect ally for those seeking unfettered elegance. The tailored trouser, born to last for decades, is one of the undisputed symbols of the Italian artisan tailoring tradition linked to the fashion world, the trendy women's must-have garment is reinvented for winter 2024-2025. An old-fashioned garment that always remains relevant and never goes out of fashion. The tailored trouser is the desire of the elegant woman who wants refinement and sophistication, to be shown off year after year. In 2024, fashion reinterprets this timeless classic with modern cuts, fine fabrics and details that elevate an essential garment to the focal point of winter looks. A black pant can be worn for a day at work or the lightning-fast choice for a last-minute invitation. Winter 2024 focuses on modern silhouettes, fine fabrics, and an aesthetic capable of embracing streetwear as well as haute couture.
Beaded embroidered fabric blouse
Fall-Winter trends see us clearly: not just earrings and necklaces. For sparkling outfits, a jeweled top is the must-have style detail, worn gracefully, like my black fabric blouse embroidered with black and white beads. The blouse is sleeveless, silk-lined, with hems and edges finished with hand-applied beading. Accompanied by a handmade purse made from the same fabric as the blouse and lined inside; inside, a small handmade coin purse. In the run-up to the Holidays, and beyond, it's a piece that allows you to add a sparkling touch in small doses, even during the day; knowing how to pair it with class is important. The bijoux? They are not needed.
Black silk velvet pants
My black silk velvet pants are a must-have this winter season. The catwalks for fall and winter confirm that velvet is still among the trends of the season, and women's pants, in particular, are confirmed to be on trend if they have a fluid, slouchy cut or oversize. "Smooth velvet is a perfect reminder of elegance," declares designer Domitilla Mattei of Souldaze. Velvet pants are a classic with a unique charm and sophistication, but above all, they can dress up and turn a look around in no time, thanks to the special workmanship and the soft, luminous finish; they manage to give even the most alternative looks some depth - and an edge to basic outfits. This trouser is often associated with the Christmas holiday season, particularly when chosen in classic shades such as black, to create elegant outfits for events and elegant dinners, perfect for evening wear as well. In case someone wants to wear them for a party or a night at the disco, just pair them with jeweled tops, such as a sleeveless blouse made of beaded embroidered fabric and a stylish jacket, both cropped. The black silk velvet pant certainly does not represent an absolute innovation in women's closets. Yet, every year, they return revisited and revised; women's velvet pants are a candidate to become the go-to garment of everyday life, a true must-have item to conquer the entire cold season, and its soft texture gives that touch of comfort sought during the winter. Velvet pants are not just a garment, but a sensory experience.
Black crépe cady crop top
Those who were teenagers in the 1990s will certainly remember it: the crop top is that top, either long-sleeved or short-sleeved, that is shorter on the belly and leaves the belly button exposed. The crop top generally has a straight cut; only the fitted version is contoured, which shows off the belly. It is important to choose the right model for each body shape: the more fitted cuts are perfect for those with narrow waists and small breasts such as the pear-shaped woman or the woman who has a rectangle physique, to emphasize the waist more. Those with prosperous breasts or an apple physique should aim for a softer model that hides roundness. The perfect outfit to match the crop top is one that is composed of a high-waisted garment, whether it is a skirt or pants. My crop top is structured-cut in crépe cady fabric, strapless to enhance the décolleté; for a total black outfit, a tailored blazer or an elegant, strapless, structured-cut crop top is recommended, accompanied by pointed ballet flats or an elegant pumps
Black lace long skirt
Elegant and sophisticated black lace long skirt, lined in fine silk georgette. Romantic, dreamy and with a veiled boho flavor, the long black lace skirt takes the top spot of current trends, becoming the garment to always have in your closet. Appreciated especially for its versatility, it can also be worn in the evening, completing the look with a tailored blazer or an elegant crop top with a structured, strapless cut, accompanied by pointed ballet flats or an elegant pump. Sensual enough, refined enough, it is the sovereign garment of the early cold weather. Celebrated on catwalks from Chanel to Dior, a brand that has made craftsmanship its style signature, the lace skirt is delicate and precious but also contemporary and effortless chic. On the catwalks each season, many brands have revisited the lace skirt, giving it new meanings and new identities. Lace is indeed an extremely valuable material that has followed all phases of people's lives over the centuries. At the same time, lace is a material that, having originated around 1500 and originally used only for religious decorations, has undergone many transformations. Sheer or lined, stiff but fluttering, delicate but sexy, the lace skirt is as central to fashion discourse today as it was decades ago. Lace is the material that speaks of childhood, growth and change. It talks about baptisms, weddings and funerals but also about burlesque and lingerie and also pays tribute to an invaluable Italian and European manufacturing sector. Simone Rocha, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino would not be the same without the use of lace in an effort to keep alive the artisan tailoring tradition that gives them life.
Kimono pattern shirt jacket
Refined and seductive kimono-pattern shirt jacket made of brocaded silk, embellished with refined details. The kimono pattern jacket is a timeless and elegant must-have inspired by the club culture of the late 1990s, reinterpreted in a feminine key. Between grunge reminiscences and tailored fit, a new, highly sought-after coolness is born. The kimono-inspired jacket made of precious brocaded silk features a deep crisscross shawl neckline with a wide, overlapping Obi pattern sash. The sleeves are wide and straight. The kimono is one of the oldest and most fascinating garments in the history of fashion and costume.The kimono is one of the oldest and most fascinating garments in the history of fashion and costume. With its wide-sleeved T-silhouette, simple only in appearance but actually very constructed, it has always inspired designers, becoming a contemporary must-have, transversal to seasons and styles; elegant and classy, it becomes one of the coolest passe-partout garments, replacing the blazer and infusing a different appeal to any look. Kimonos, then, so beloved by the Hollywood divas of the 1920s and 1930s, have become the key piece that revamps one's basic garments. This season, the kimono-pattern jacket is a candidate as a passe-partout garment, in the sign of eclectic elegance, to accompany elegant dresses and formal looks.
Long silk skirt with side slit
The long silk skirt with side slit at the bottom is triple silk, embellished by the sophistication of the belt details: perfect for evening dresses.
The triple silk skirt, elegant and timeless, is undoubtedly proving to be the stars' favorite pattern for cool winter evening outfits. Also confirming the trend are fashionistas who have been sporting satin skirts of all shapes, colors and lengths in recent weeks. Perfect for the most elegant evening outfits, wear with a kimono-style jacket. This particular cut of long silk skirt with a short side slit is proof that elegance and sensuality can coexist in a single garment; an ankle-length (or slightly more) cut with a surprise slit that not only leaves a large part of the leg uncovered; the ideal choice for creating elegant and trendy, but above all sensual and fun evening outfits. Even better when paired with ton sur ton garments, and in classic shades, as with black and white.
Silk brocade pants
Elegant silk brocade pants; with a back welt pocket and side pockets in front. Many designers are repurposing the brocade trouser, perfect for the colder seasons of the year, in a contemporary way in their fall winter 2024 collections. In fact, for this season, they chose to dress their models in fabrics reminiscent of upholstery fabrics. This is precious fabric with distant roots, a true artistic masterpiece, originally intended only for popes and monarchs; warp and weft of gold and silver threads intertwining in delicate patterns and taking shape, like bas-reliefs, on pure silk fabrics: a surprisingly chic, sophisticated and elegant allure when paired in the right way, taking great care. The brocade pants, paired with blouse, strictly white. My brocade pants are paired with a silk organza blouse.
