Tomorrow or after the second part …. remember that fashion is a precious thing, a form of art, which combines tradition, artistry, craftsmanship, creativity … I hate when people to define it use despicable tones as “the fashion circus moves from Florence to Milan” … but what circus? what that certain media want to emphasize and put on the cover to increase share, sales or visibiity? I’m sorry but it is not so … Anyone who works in this field knows the effort and daily commitment that is behind … sorry for this little controversy but if there’s one thing that defines us in the world is fashion (besides the art, the food, the territory …) not to damage with our stupidity …

Good life to all!
