This is a list that isn’t the usual list.
I am loyal to my readers/followers/Insta peeps who, when prompted, responded that they want more of what I do: more outfits, more style, more opinions and critiques. I do know my shitload of Fashion, keep myself informed and, if you didn’t know, I am taking a Master in Sustainability Leadership.
So, looking back at a year of interactions and blog posts, I have noticed that what I write is completely unplanned, I have no social media strategies and that’s one of the reasons I don’t have thousands of followers, I don’t grow exponentially, I am not viral (something that 20 years ago would have sounded terribly wrong).
Also, everything i have written in the book can be taken, adopted, dissected, applied and all of it has a sustainable purpose. However, the book isn’t a list of things to do or not to do, it has nothing to do with marikondo-ing your closet, i don’t do influencer-y spells, it’s C O M M O N S E N S E.
To show you how the book is relevant and you can still gather useful intel on how to keep it Italian chic, I have decided to re-touch chapter 3 ‘START FROM THE ESSENTIALS’, which i am afraid you will have to go read, because this is only an addendum.
the wrap dress
the foulard, the exotic skin purse, the pied-de-poule blazer. Pants are optional.
Tim Walker x the V&A Museum
lace-ups, chiffon and the inherited fur coat worn with nonchalance (you know how I personally think that vintage/second hand/family heirloom fur is the most sustainable form of fur. I have no intention of offending or hurting anyone.)
the navy blazer borrowed from the boys, the velvet slippers, the Mercedes Pagoda
the silk neglige’, the only type of ensembles allowed, silk nightgown and robe, preferably to match upholstery.
