An outfit decisively inspired from the 1960’s and very bon-ton with a personal touch of my own; glam and contemporary touches: a printed and clean-cut dress, a lurex mini cardigan, a rigid shoulder bag, glitter and patent decolletè, a pair of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses from 10years ago, some rètro earrings, and a “banana” chignon couldn’t go amiss. A very vintage and always ultra chic hairdo. That’s it! Here I am transformed into a mini american diva from the 1960’s!
Everything came about from wanting to make a photoshoot at the new Peach Pit Bakery & Restaurant in Pavia.
Do you remember the 1990’s TV show Beverly Hills 90210? It was most definately the biggest fountain of inspiration for all the teenagers of those times (internet was not widely used and the world was not yet a click away) who dreamed and wished to discover that far off and fabulous continent: America. Brenda, Dylan, Kelly, Brandon and Donna were the protagonists of the TV show who made us live, intensely, everything from fashion, to style, costumes and daily habits in the residential area of Beverly Hills in LA.
The Peach Pit was the meeting point for these kids and it is from this that Enzo, Fulvio and Antonio drew inspiraton. Everything in the bar is replicated in the exact, identical manner; breakfast (lemon cupcakes…my favourite) lunch and dinner were studied so that we too could have american culture on our tables, with authentic recipes and drinks imported directly from the States.
Hence, thanks to the Peach Pit it is possible to relive an extremely unique experience, and feel a real american atmosphere in the air.

GAZEL S/S 2012
Un cielo di camiciole fluide e fresche, di abiti plissettati e con piccoli pois, lunghi, corti, a charlestone.
La gamma dei neri prevede, abiti con tagli strategici o maniche a sbuffo che si aprono come ali di farfalla.
Top che si agganciano di nascosto, maliziosi, a morbide gonne. Un mare di sandali e sandaletti con motivi a cerchio, o alti con fiocchi, corda e cotone naturale, a righe e in nero, cuoio vintage o ricami di perline colorate, collane in corda, spago e ottone. I colori: blu polvere, rosa, fucsia e un tocco di acido.
I neri di giorno e di sera.
From Udine, in a beautiful industrial loft, Alessandra Verona, ex ballerina and cultured and curious traveller, closely follows fashion, in particular the brand Gàzel (it means girl in tuareg).
A graceful wardrobe for a kind woman in both apperance and soul. A selection of dresses and accessories, day bags, hats, jewels, shoes, a world of fashion, a collection thought up for an independant and graceful woman.
An array of fresh blouses, pleated dotty dresses, long, short and charlestone style.
The range of blacks sees strategically cut dresses or puffy sleeves which open up like butterfly wings.
Tops which fastened up with hidden clasps and soft flowy skirts. An array of flat sandals with circular motifs, or high ones with bows, rope and natural cotton, stripey and black, vintage leather and coloured embroidery with pearls, rope, twine and brass necklaces. The colours are powder blue, pink, fuchsia and a touch of acidy colours.
Black is both for day and night.
Today Gazel, both dresses and accessories, sell very well in Italy and abroad (sales are wild in Japan!)
NIU’ : “IMPRESSION D’AFRIQUE” S/S 2012
Stessi luoghi, ma percezioni diverse segnano l’esperienza africana di Niù; un viaggio vero, sentito, goduto fino all’ultimo istante, in un continente magico: colori, profumi, suoni, il regale incedere delle donne senegalesi, sono state le fonti di ispirazione di Serena e Bruno per la loro nuova collezione dove predominano forme semplici e femminili.
“Immergetevi” nel mondo fantastico di Niù…
Niù, a friulian brand born in 1999 through the love and feeling of Serena Cibischino and her brother Bruno.The collections are now distributed in Europe, Russia, Japan and Kuwait. Niù is chic, trendy and definately for the niche. The new spring/summer 2012 collection is called Impression d’Afrique, and it gets its inspiration from Roussel’s text: an aching, yet extravagant and fantastic journey in a dreamy Africa which drammatically concludes with the scholar’s suicide at the Hotel Palmes di Palermo, after an existance in search of unconstrained luxury, characterised by the disturbing presence of the number three: three waiters, three chauffeurs, three Louis Vuitton trunks…
Same places, but different perceptions mark Niù’s african experience: a real journey, a felt journey, enjoyed to the last second, in a magical continent: colours, fragrances, the regal gait of the Senegalese women, have all been an inspiration for Serena and Bruno and their new collection where simple forms and shapes and femininity predominante.
Immerse yourselves in the fantastic world of Niù…
A-LAB MILANO
“Green Power”. This is the mood for the spring/summer 2012 A-MAZON A-LAB MILANO collection. A wild realism, an amazonic forest, a challenge between man and woman, between reality and immagination, force and the pride of the amazonian people completely covered with contemporary armour. An “ultra world” seen via the colours of nature, where the indios hides themselves amongst the trees, living between lights and shadows in this immense green labyrinth.
And it is exactly between light and dark that we have chosen to take these photos: an antique cellar in a historic building, where everything seems to have remained as it was, where history and mystery do not go amiss….
A-LAB MILANO, can be considered a true italian “factory”, in which two young designers work: Alessandreo Biasi e Simona Costa. There’s is, to all its effects, a creative workshop, where fashion and art bond and unite.
