Online visual Merchandising

Yesterday, I was walking in Ingram Street, Glasgow, Scotland and I was attracted by Cruise store. CRUISE is one of Glasgow's best known fashion retailers, providing shoppers with a mix of high-end classics as well as stand-out designs.

Today, I would like to propose following fashionable visual merchandising:

 

It is comprised of D&G dress; Gucci Shoes; YSL clutch; and Alexander Mc Queen coat.

Fashionable women enjoy Brawfood bars as part of their healthy diet

Fashion and healthy food are an excellent combination. Fashionable women take care of their body and mind, eating healthy food, doing fitness, and reading a book.

Fashionable women does never forgot to bring with her healthy snack. You could find Brawfood bar in their bag. It is oat and fruit bar, 100% natural, gluten free, and no added sugar. It is very delicious and healthy. My preferred flavour is cocoa orange. 

When I made the outfit fashion of the day, I was eating strawberry Braw bar and it has inspired my design.

I have combined strawberry  Brawfood bar with accessories of a trendy and fashionable woman such as suede platform pumps by Christian Louboutin (€575); leather shoulder bag by Bottega Veneta (€1,880); gold-tone earphones by Frends (€99), and studded leather iPad case by Valentino (€600).

 

Mirrored sunglasses: Have you got this?

New trend of this summer: mirrored sunglasses! They are sunglasses with a reflective optical coating. Initially used from policemen in USA, today they are fundamental accessory of fashion world. 

I would suggest mirrored sunglasses with semi-circular lens that covers both eyes and with a simple plastic frame, combined with short in denim by Rag e Bone jeans (€150), cotton blend fringed vest by Lisa Maree (€108.90), Guaraní printed bikini by Vix (€114.34, €120.70), and BB gradual face tan by James Read (€24.20).

Express your personality with perfect fashion outfit!

Stop wearing classical job outfit! Express your personality in own business environment, using colours, accessories, and personal style. Usually, image of a business woman is polished, neat, and tidy. She wear dark dress with tailored lines but today a real business woman have to trasfer a message of credibility, accuracy, responsibility, and mainly distinctiviness. 

I would suggest to wear wide-leg crepe pants by Christopher Kane (€795) with polk-dot silk blouse by Chloé (€690), the happy medium quilted leather shoulder bag by Lanvin (€1.575), leather pumps by Christian Louboutin (€533.61), and floral crystal ring by Lanvin (€855).

Brooklyn monogram star-print leather sneakers by Gucci

Usually I don't put on sneakers but Brooklyn monogram star-print leather sneakers by Gucci (€415) have become my favourite shoes. It is punctuated by bold and zingy neon stars that you could matching with leather-trimmed printed iPhone 5 case by Gucci (€145), creating a light and bright aesthetic that is perfect for summer.
For today's fashion outfit, I have combined this Gucci's shoes and cover with Jovanna neon stretch-denim biker jacket by Karl Lagerfield (€299) and forever Karlie long-length skinny jeans by Frame Denim (€260).

It's a great way to inject that little bit of fluoro madness into your look without going all-out on the brightness.

Vintage Chanel bag

We often use the vintage word but you have to investigate the history of this. In the fashion sector, vintage means clothes have been produced before the 1920s and have been previously worn. Everywhere, you could find old warehouse stock where buy vintage accessories and clothes.

These are often o, and more valuable than those that have been worn, especially if they have their original tags. Referred to as deadstock or new old stock (NOS), they nevertheless sometimes have flaws but no our today's proposal: Chanel Bag combined with shirt by Maye (€196); jeans by YSL (€360); and sandals by René Caovilla (€746).

Nuovi volti per la moda cercasi. The perfect couple

In controtendenza rispetto ad un anno televisivo in cui i reality sono stati eclissati, nasce The Perfect Couple che si propone quale nuova esperienza mediale a metà strada tra il gioco, il concorso ed il reality in senso stretto, in quanto quest’esperienza, nata da un’idea del poliedrico Domenico Auriemma, che da anni lavora nel settore dell’occhialeria glam, ed appassionato di moda e tendenza, intende investire nella scoperta di nuovi volti da lanciare nel mondo dello spettacolo.

THE PERFECT COUPLE nasce come un concorso di bellezza e non solo: l'obiettivo è quello di selezionare ragazzi e ragazze validi nel mondo dello spettacolo a 360 gradi e non strettamente "bellocci da posa"… E' un concorso atto alla ricerca di volti nuovi, talenti da lanciare nel campo del lavoro sponsoriale/pubblicitario, della fotografia(fotomodelli), della televisione.   I vincitori rappresenteranno non solo il volto DOMENICO AURIEMMA CREAZIONI per tutta la campagna pubblicitaria 2013-2014, ma avranno l'opportunità di una prima formazione grazie alla donazione di una "borsa di studio multidisciplinare".

Il concorso si articolerà in 4 fasi a partire dal 13 giugno 2013

PRIMA FASE: iscrizione al concorso e pre-CASTING. 5 LEADER selezioneranno, in 5 location e in accordo ad un calendario eventi, i ragazzi e le ragazze che secondo i loro criteri valutativi e in base alla loro esperienza, ritengono più opportuni per andare avanti in questa esperienza e magari assegnarsi la vittoria…

In particolare:

Ad ogni leader sarà assegnato ad una location prestabilita presso la quale svolgerà i propri casting potendo scegliere fino ad un massimo di 50 concorrenti tra uomini e donne.

L'eta' max dei concorrenti deve essere compresa tra i 18 e i 30 anni

I casting a cura dei leader saranno svolti nelle seguenti location e nelle seguenti date:

SECONDA FASE:  le selezioni. La fase selettiva vedrà il riunirsi di una prima giuria tecnica che selezionerà tra i candidati presentati due soli concorrenti (un ragazzo e una ragazza) per ogni leader. Dunque alla fine delle selezioni si saranno formate 5 coppie ognuna capitanata da un leader.

TERZA FASE: LA PREPARAZIONE DEI FINALISTI E LA DIVISIONE IN SQUADRE DI GIOCO

A questo punto i finalisti si prepareranno per IL GRAN FINALE:

avranno una/due settimane per prepararsi al meglio ad affrontare il giudizio ipercritico dei tecnici della serata finale:

in questa fase i candidati saranno seguiti da un tecnico del portamento, da un personal trainer, dal gruppo di parrucchieri affidato...ecc.......

ogni coppia sarà formata da un ragazzo e una ragazza. I giurati saranno pertanto chiamati a giudicare le qualità e le doti del duo e non del singolo.

QUARTA FASE: IL GRAN FINALE

Nel gran finale, i finalisti si sfideranno in squadre per il titolo che vedrà comunque una solo coppia vincitrice appartenente indifferentemente a qualsiasi squadra (il regolamento della selezione finale sarà stabilito in itinere).

Un’occasione da non perdere, per realizzare un sogno.

Women want their Louboutins: I cannot resist the red sole

Christian Louboutin was born in 1964 in Paris. As a child, he was fascinated by ladies’ shoes and by the time he reached his teens, Louboutin was sketching shoe designs in his school books. He received a small amount of training at the Academie Roederer, studying drawing and decorative arts. After travelling for a year in Egypt and India he returned to Paris and produced a design portfolio full of elaborate high heels. Today Christian Louboutin shoes can be found in boutiques worldwide as well as on the catwalks for young highly regarded designers such as Roland Mouret and Rodarte.

Every women would have got a Louboutin!!!

Ai tuoi piedi, per questa estate

Per molti uomini è un qualcosa di inconcepibile, ma noi donne sappiamo bene che la nostra femminilità parte dai piedi e dunque scarpe, sandali, stivali, infradito, zeppe, tacchi a spillo, punte arrotondate fanno parte del nostro mondo sin dalla primissima adolescenza.

E per essere sempre trendy, è necessario non perdere mai d’occhio qual è la tendenza imposta dalla moda del momento e che meglio si coniuga al nostro guardaroba e alla nostra statura.

Nel mondo casual spopolano modelli sul genere Converse o simili.

Per le donne alte (attenzione potete permettervele solo se siete alte e slanciate) le ballerine lasciano il posto a sandali dal tacco basso e mocassini anche dal taglio alquanto maschile.

Per le più estrose, invece, via tacchi alti e stampe colorate, in cui fungono da protagonista il tacco o la zeppa, anch’essi spesso decorati.

Al via dunque a colori e fantasia, per vivere un’estate da protagonista, distinguendovi da capo a piede!

Alexander McQueen: his style is timeless.

Alexander McQueen had influenced a whole generation of designers. "His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs. At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashion shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern-day genius whose Gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over." said Alexandra Shulman, the editor of British Vogue.
McQueen was a four-time winner of the British designer of the year award as well as the international designer of the year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. He was awarded the CBE in 2003.
He dead at the age of 40 in his London home and I would remember him, showing his elegant black dress. I have combined this dress with hat by Saint Laurent, earnings by Gucci, shoes by Jimmy Choo,and bag by Lanvin.

Sports style

 Here it is my sports outfit: you wear the dress by Alexander Mc Queen, matching with shoes by chloé,  scarf by Dolce & Gabbana, and bag by Mulberry, where you could put into cover mobile and earphones by Marc Jacobs, the book by Laurence King

Fashion becomes yellow!

Yellow is the colour of this summer. I have to say yellow is really not a colour I use but several fashion brands have made new yellow dresses. Today, I have matched the yellow clutch by Miu Miu and yellow shoes by by Nicholas Kirkwood with a silk shirt by Maje and a jeans by YSL.

In Italy, Mum's day is coming!

• Sea Flower 18-karat gold, quartz and diamond necklace by Ileana Makri (€4.647);

Lanvin, the oldest fashion house in Paris

Lanvin, fashion brand, was created by Madame Jeanne Lanvin in Paris. She was influenced by visual arts such as Edgar Degas, Auguste Renoir, Eugène Boudin, and Edouard Vuillard. For sever years, this brand was a family affair. In fact, afer Jeanne Lanvin, her daugher, Marie-Blanche was in charge until 1950. After that, for about three decades, a succession of designers put their oar in, including Maryll Lanvin, who was chief designer for several years in the mid-1980s (she was the wife of Jeanne’s grand-nephew) and Claude Montana, who had a go in the early 1990s. 
Then, in 2001 investor group Harmonie S.A., headed by Mrs. Shaw-Lan Wang, bought Lanvin company and hired Alber Elbaz, a gifted and refined designer who had honed his skills at Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche, and Geoffrey Beene. Through many years and many designers, it has stayed true to the vision of its founder, Madame Jeanne Lanvin, always valuing fine craftsmanship and impeccable ornamentation above all else.
Today, I would suggest a Lanvin's trench, matching with sexy lingerie by Cosabella, shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood, and clutch by Moschino.
