The third stage of Pitti immagine takes place at the Pucci palace, the beautiful and ancient palace of the Pucci family, in the centre of Florence.
To celebrate the sixty years of activity, the florentine maison dressed the baptistery of Florence with the colors and prints typical of the brand, for an amazing tribute to the Pucci maison and the city of Florence.
The cocktail party at the Pucci palace was an occasion to remember the artistic course of the maison through the most significant prints;
those prints that lead around the world the essence of elegance and refined eccentric and are the unmistakable symbol of the Pucci maison.


 
Another day another event, during Pitti the party never ends.
This time I'll show you the cocktail for the presentation of the  Maison Martin Margiela new collection and the super party by Vice for Vans.

 

Pitti immagine is the most important fashion showcase in Florence.
But it's not only a question of business and it's not only for buyers and exhibitors: all the city comes alive with parties, events and exhibitions.
During Pitti, fashion and art are particularly associated, also thanks to the importance of Florence, of global importance, as city of art and culture.
All the old buildings open their doors (or gates)
to the fashion shows and to the visitoris that come from all over the world.



 
A pool on top of a skyscraper's roof in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
Sorrunded by the Carrebian sea: The view: palms, streets and a modern skyline.
Black vultures flying above us and the gentle sea breeze.

 
I spendt the last ten days in Cartagena de Indias, on the coast of Colombia.
In the Carreben sea there's an archipelago called Islas del Rosario. Some islands are big enough to hold tourist centers, hotels, pools, bars; some others are really small and many of them are private.

Leaving from Cartagena you can spend the day on one of these islands going by motorboat with organized tours; the tour includes the trip, all the food and of course the use of the islad and its wonderful beach.
But the motorboat has to leave not leater of three p.m. from the island 'cause of the rise of tide and of wind that would make your coming back trip a bit eventful.

To fully enjoy the islad and its wild nature, I spendt the night in one of the characteristic bungalows.
It has bamboo forniture and a roof made of palms that will make you feel like Robinson Crusoe.

At night, the island was almost desert; I just could hear the sound of the sea, the wind and the birds singing.
It was just me, a hammock, a good reading and the coconut water.
If you ask to the staff, they will bring to you the tipical coconut that they cut into the top so you can drink the sweet water.


In the silence on the island you can deeply enjoy the nature, the lonlyness and give sound to your thoughts, rocket by the soft tide.

  Is summer too hot to wear leather?

Fashion doesn’t care.

Leather is the material par excellence for this summer; and no, we’re not just talking about leather jackets, but about an entire wardrobe.

Some designers put few leather pieces in their collections; but there is who, like Jean Paul Gautier, Alexander McQueen, or Saint Laurent, built the entire collection on the material preferred by rock stars.

So, this summer, take courage and wear leather.
