DIY idea: pleats




Pleated skirts are back in fashion and since Donatella Versace included them in her collection for H&M they went right in my diy list. A pleated skirts should be not too difficult to make and I hope to be back to you soon with a tutorial to diy a pleated skirt and be party season ready!

Le gonne a pieghe sono tornate di moda e da quando Donatella Versace le ha incluse nella sua collezione per H&M sono finite nella mia lista dei modelli da realizzare. Spero di potervi presto aggiornare con un tutorial per realizzare una gonna a pieghe da sfoggiare sotto le feste natalizie.

Versace inspired bracelet DIY

 Gold and chains are the perfect ingredients for a luxury bracelet. I istantly loved the bracelet designed by Donatella Versace for H&M and while we wait for the collection to finally reach the stores, why don't make our version of it? You only need gold chains, a wide clasp and a big button!

L'oro o almeno il dorato è l'ingrediente indispensabile per un gioiello che abbia un aspetto lussuoso. Tra gli accessori disegnati da Donatella Versace per il marchio H&M uno in particolare mi ha colpito subito ed è il bracciale con le catenelle. Mentre aspettiamo che finalmente la collezione venga distribuita nei negozi ecco un tutorial veloce che reinterpreta il braccialetto. Vi servono: catenelle, una chiusura e un bottone e il bracciale è presto fatto.


the inspiration:Versace fo H&M

Aren't buttons beautiful? They can make incredible jewellery almost on their own. I found this big gold button at the haberdashery, you can choose any button you like.The variety is almost infinite and you'll be tempted to buy them all.
Here's the list of supply needed: a piece of metallic wire, a gold chain ,a button, a clasp like the ones you see below. They are pretty common but my local shop didn't have it so I had to diy my own with a metallic cap.

I bottoni sono davvero bellissimi e possono diventare dei gioielli unici. Io ho acquistato questo grande bottone dorato, voi scegliete quello che più preferite. La scelta è davvero molto ampia e una volta entrate in merceria sarete tentate di comprarli tutti!
Prendete: un filo metallico, una catenella dorata, un bottone, una chiusura per bracciale come quelle che vedete qui sotto. Il mio negozio di riferimento le aveva finite quindi ho dovuto "fabbricare" la mia con un un tappo di lamiera.


I just laid down the chain and tried the button on: as you can see the bracelet looks already done.
Measure your wrist and cut the chain in pieces of the same lenght; then attach the botton at the center with a piece of metallic wire. Using the pincher press the clasp at the ends to block the chains and you've done!

Ho sistemato la catena sul tavolo e ci ho poggiato sopra il bottone. Come potete vedere il bracciale sembra già fatto! Misurate il polso e tagliate la catenella in pezzi della stessa lunghezza. Legate il bottone alla catenella con un pezzo di filo metallico. Inserite la chiusura e schiacciatelasulle catenella. Avete finito!


what i did to make the clasp: I cut 2 rectangular pieces from the cap then I pierced it using a nail. I used a hook  to connect the chain to the metallic plate an then i pressed it down using a pincher.
Come ho fatto a far la chiusura? Ho ritagliato due rettangoli dal tappo e li ho bucati usando un chiodo. Con dei gancetti ho connesso la lamiera alle catenelle e ho poi schiacciato la lamiera con la pinza.

Milano fashion week: my report part 2


The report from Milano fashion week continues...




Entering Versace palace feels like entering a temple, the sanctuary of the Medusa that stares the invited taking their seats from enlighted arches. There was a lot of electricity and excitement in the air from the upcoming show. The models started to appear on the catwalk and every look was a killer one. This is a celebration of Versace style: studs,colors and prints are mixed together to create a number of breathtaking dresses. The colors are:white, black,mint,yellow and light blue.The theme is the sea so sea stars and seahorses both decorate the cloths. Dresses are really feminine and sexy: they are either tight to follow and enhance women curves or  floaty with deep slits. Models look like both like greek goddesses and like Donatella clones. Most dresses are heavy covered with studs but the effect is not punk or aggressive (except for the black dresses) is more an heavy embellish that give an idea of extreme luxe.
As Donatella Versace appeared there was an ovation and she walked down the catwalk with confidence among the claps.
Omg she has the tiniest waist!...just saying.






Another much awaited show (more crowded than a rock concert!) was Blumarine. The collection is all about flashy,saturated colors and 80s kitsch.  Plastic flowers have the leading role, they cover shoes and entire dresses. Orange, pink,yellow and white are dazzling. The concept of sensuality and its symbols are taken to the extreme: flowers are big and cover most shoes and dresses, lips are used as a pattern, colors are bold and dresses are tight. The 80s are quoted often: there are funny leg warmers, mini motorcycle jackets, neon colors and mini pouches attached to belts! It a colored,funny, excessive collection, I mean, there are furs for summer!
The details I liked more were the rafia trimming onto the skirts and the rafia bags, they really make me think of summer. The plastic flowers are funny too (and so diyable) and I liked them more onto the dresses that on shoes and I definitely wouldn't mind a small jackets covered with flowers.








This is a view of the set of Gabriele Colangelo show. Colangelo is one of the young designer who showed his collection during Milano fashion week. His collection is wearable and artistic at the same time. His dresses look like walking paintings. The inspiration is the sunset at the sea and its colors: white, pink,blue,yellow.
What I like of Colangelo design is that the focus is on new fabrics and materials more than on shapes. This time fabrics are translucent, rarefied or printed, they really look like water.

Big news: H&M patners with Versace






For those who missed the news yesterday, the retail chain H&M has revealed who is going to be the next designer collaborating with them and the designer is...(drum rolls) VERSACE!!!
Versace means glamour,excess,luxury!
I'm so exited! I alredy made room in my wardrobe! Can you believe the mass will have the chance to own a piece of history of fashion! It's a girl dream came true! I'm virtually already standing in the line outside the shop! This news are going to effect my sale expenses! I have to save for a Versace!
The collection will be in shops the 17th of November. There will be 40 pieces in the woman collection and 20 for menswear plus there will be a collection for home like bed sheets and pillows!
Donatella Versace is thinking big and she will patner with H&M even for a spring 2012 collection that will be available online only for those countries where H&M ships to the 19th of January (not Italy at the moment  H&M must fix this asap!).
