My question to Dante -"What does distinguish your creations from others? How can we recognize Your watches? Is there some particolar sign of Your brand?"

"The most bold and distinguishing aspect of this model is the pure introduction of the logo. The logo itself possesses attention causing the entire watch to demand the same level of attention,"- says  Dante, " Future designs will exhibit and reflect the attention-to-detail and design that the Dante Vulgar brand and name represents. All our items are unisex."

"Dante,  tell us about Your latest collection.  Which piece is the best -seller? "

"The "Vugari Classic" Watch Collection is our starting item to propel the company at the moment. The best seller is the Limited "Midnight" all black watch that individuals have purchasing."

"Dante, can You please  give us an advice advice how to choose the perfect watch and to be fashion?" 

"Our Timepieces give our customers the simplicity of telling time along with making a statement to style and function. You can wear your timepiece various places and the "Vulgari Classic" never outshines you but more edify and defines you as a person physically. This timepiece let others know that there's a purpose to everything that the owner does and that the confidence that the owner has all the right tools to do what needs to be done.

Alves

 I've got news fo those who's been waiting to discover new brands. There is a new born brand  called "Alves". This brand was founded in 2012 with a small production line producing knitted swatches in New York & Paris which was then sold to companies such as Victoria Secrets & Banana Republic.

"Suddenly the brand needed change and development so I furthered my knowledge and skills by studying at the Royal College of Arts London in Menswear Knitwear," -says Justin Alves ( creative director of the brand), 

"From this the brand was recognised and presented through different platforms such as Liberty's London & Vogue."

  

Alves is specialised in Knitwear & Denimwear for Men & Women.

"I want the clothes to act as a powerful vehicle to carry the message of masculanity, feminility, luxury and fine sexuality,"says Justin, -"It would echo what Alves stands for"

 "Justin, tell us about Your latest collection. What it was inspired by?"-" Every collection I have produced tells a story from my life, what I have seen, what I have felt, people that I have loved and lost. Inspiration may come from any source; nature, lifestyle, people, feelings and music.

The Concept of the Spring Summer 016 collection;

Zinnia: the name of my mother and the name of a flower that symbolizes the cultural heritage that permeates this collection. This vivid red flower is characteristic of Portuguese culture, discernible on roof tops and on ceremonial attire. My mother represents the fragility of a flower, sharing the same delicacy and softness as captured by the image of her. The soft breeze and the endless possibility that the sea embodies mesmerised me and took my imagination to another place. Such aesthetics captivate our vision, enchant us with their vibrancy and arouse our imaginations in ways that foster a sense of escapism. The evocativeness of these images mirror those of Frida Kahlo, whose artwork awakens the same overwhelming yet captivating feelings. We are invited to let our imaginations wonder freely and unreservedly: an escapism that manifests through my clothing. It is an amalgamation of these fragments that my work reflects as I have taken these elements and fused them to create a collection that mirrors the freedom epitomised by the images."

 "Justin, can You describe a person who chooses Your clothes? What kind of public Your creations are destinated to?" -"The person for Alves should allow himself/herself to be expressive and self confident, not afraid of change," - says Justin.

From January 2016 we can buy the creations of Alves from his online store  www.alveslondon.com

Paper and Paper Eyewear. Made in Spain

 Hey, fashionistas, do you love glasses like I do?  If you think that wearing glasses is boring, I've got some news for you! Finnaly we can wear  eyeglasses and have fun.  Let me introduce the new brand of eyewear from Spain "PAPER AND PAPER EYWEAR". "The brand was born 3 years ago when I was doing craftwork with my sons. During 1 year I did many proofs and finally at the beginnig of 2014, the first collection came out to light. The whole collection is created by myself,"-says José Botella,(creative director of the brand),  "with the support of  Eva Júlvez, who's in charge of the creative matters."

The brand is based in Saragossa (Spain).

 For the production of their glasses  they use materials as recycled comics, newspapers, magazines and decoupage papers, all of them are chosen through a meticulous selection of papers.

My next question to Jose is: "What kind of public Your glasses are destinated to?" At first, we thought this product was going to succeed among very fashion and cool people, but currently we realize that there isn't a stereotype, anyone who  loves it buys it. Paper & Paper Eyewear's collection is composed of a great variety of stunning and original frames. Each one is unique and unrepeatable. There are not 2 identical frames. "

"Josè, Your brand is spanish, can we find your glasses in other countries? Where do You have stores?" "In Spain, right now there are 110 points of sale and according to the international market, some customers from countries such as Canada, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Libannon, Greec, India, UK got our collecton at different international fairs that we attented. Currently out team is set up with 2 agents in Spain, 1 in France, 1 in Italy and 1 in Greece,"- says Josè.

I ask Jose an advice how to choose the right glasses. "If you want to be different from the others , choose a unique and unrepeatable product. Choose the model frame that fits you best and your favorite kind of paper and you'll get be as you are. With comic and magazine papers you'll get colourful glasses, with the newspaper the result will be more neutral."

Alexandra Alberta Chiolo

Ciao, bellezze! Amate le scarpe e non vi bastano mai? Ho una bella notizia per voi, che ogni giorno vorreste un paio di scarpe nuove. L'azienda Alexandra Alberta Chiolo spa nasce nel 2008 con l'intento primario di creare qualcosa di mai esistito prima, una scarpa da donna completamente personalizzabile e smontabile che non rinuncia al glamour e alla femminilità. Anni di studio e dedizione hanno permesso all'ideatrice e direttore creativo del progetto Alexandra Chiolo, di dare vita alle "Albertine". La creativa ha seguito personalmente tutto lo sviluppo tecnico e stilistico delle "Albertine". L'idea è nata dal connubio della sua esperienza di viaggiatrice, sempre con il cambio in borsa e dal gioco costante e imprescindibile che ha voluto tradurlo in maniera ponderata nelle sue creazioni. Il pensiero di Alexandra infatti è che "il gioco è la cosa più seria del mondo". Le "Albertine" sono 100% made in  Italy, dall'ideazione alla spedizione. I materiali che Alexandra seleziona personalmente sono di altissima qualità ma allo stesso tempo di grande ricerca: per le tomaie ha scelto il vitellino per i'intramontabile decolletè nero, il tessuto con finitura gum per lo chanel primaverile ed in ultimo, in uscita nei prossimi giorni, la seta. Per quanto riguarda gli accessori, tacchi e plateau sono realizzati in ABS, il materiale più pregiato e resistente nel mondo dei polimeri termoplastici, finemente lavorato da esperti artigiani nelle lavorazioni finali. 

La collezione fall winter 2015-2016 in uscita nei prossimi giorni è ispirata agli Origami. Alexandra ha espresso nel nuovo tacco limited edition la sua visione materica delle pieghe rigide della carta che permettono di creare forme geometriche pulite ed essenziali. Sarà presente l'intramontabile decolletè nero affiancato da tre nuances dai toni corposi e pieni, in seta. Le "Albertine" posano il pensiero della libertà anche nella fase dell'acquisto: è possibile acquistare tutti i componenti  separatamente (ovviamente per chi non ne avesse ancora un paio al primo acquisto è necessario che compri il kit base tomaia+tacchi +plateau ma anche in questo caso in estrema libertà potendo selezionare sul sito www.alexandraalbertachiolo.com la combinazione che preferisce) , successivamente al primo acquisto si possono effettuare altri ordini di tacchi e/o plateau; ad oggi sono più di 3600 le combinazioni realizzabili, per tutti i gusti e per tutti i momenti della giornata. 
Le "Albertine" si possono acquistare sul sito  www.alexandraalbertachiolo.com e presso i loro showroom di Torino (via Cordero di Pamparato 9) e  Milano (via Borgonuovo 5). 
"Alexandra, che  consiglio può dare a noi fashioniste?"- domando io, "Osa e sperimenta, la monotonia è noiosa e banale".
