OVER throw UNDER wear

Talking about lingerie is very pleasant, especially when it concerns a leading brand in the world for innovation with a truly unique concept on the market. The brand that would become Chantelle, was born in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century and began manufacturing corsets in stretch fabrics famous for their comfort already in 1902. Fashion for women's clothes was in full evolution, and with the 'little black dress' of the thirties, it was strong the need to wear inc

Wearing Shades of Wood

If you name these sunglasses as accessories, it's an understatement. Protecting the eyes and the delicate area around the eyes from the sun is taken for granted, as well as that they are part of our outfit. In reality these are real pieces of design, artistic expressions, fusion of distant worlds that have combined their experiences to create a product of excellence having the shape and function of eyeglasses, but the soul that has crossed faraway places, capturing their esse

From Fire to Jewelry

I was invited by UNOAERRE to Arezzo, an enchanting Tuscan city where the jewelery has ancient origins thanks to the art of smelting, a fundamental process in the processing of jewels. Already in the fourteenth century after Christ the city of Arezzo guaranteed the purity of precious metals, defending its local product from the Sienese and Florentine competition and in this part of Tuscany, since the times of the Etruscans and the Renaissance, the creation of precious pieces w

The Masterpiece for a Timeless Beauty

What is a masterpiece? It's an icon without striving to be one, beginning to be so when audaciously rising and doing something particularly different, and by doing so it manages to break down barriers. A masterpiece is therefore the maximum indulgence, which then becomes the benchmark for everything else. The extreme luxury. The story of La Prairie begins with a quote 'Surrender to the impossible' the mantra of Dr. Niehans who with the aim of adding life to the years, created

Lady Dior Art

When you are fascinated by a brand you cannot avoid to tell what this brand is proposing to increase its uniqueness and obviously the boundless admiration by its fans. Having asked a series of artists to reinterpret according to their vision such an iconic bag as the Lady Dior - born in 1994 in the Atelier of the Maison - expresses so strongly the deep bond that Dior has with art, so as to come to consider the bag like a catalyst able to stimulate creativity, and as a base ca

Flying, Traveling and Dreaming

Watching things from above - in a physical and metaphorical sense - is a fortune in life and has always corresponded to my desire and my dreams. Flying with the spirit is for me like breathing and I cannot help it. When Roberta told me she wanted to create a collection of entirely hand designed and painted jewels balloons, I was touched and I began to fly with fantasy. The balloon is for me the symbol of absolutely unique freedom. Soar in the sky, quietly and romantically, to

Diary of an Emotion

There are really few days in which you feel in the right place at the right time and you have the full awareness of each moment, enjoying every single instant and sticking to your memory every moment. Just a few words to say what it meant yesterday for me. An important anniversary, the 25th anniversary of our wedding, which seemed to have fluttered. I have been touched by an emotion hard for me to describe, a set of joy, gratitude, sentiment, nostalgia. My voice crackled in r

Milano, I Love You

Last night my black and gold outfit was in line with the municipal regulation, according to which all the shops inside the Gallery must have gold-colored inscriptions on a black background. Aside from my personal homage to the Lounge - where I once overthrew the entire content of my basketball on the famous bull balls because I did not want to walk upon - last night the tribute to the Gallery was the one of a whole cohesive city which through its institutions and commercial a

My Limited Edition

And here we go. I am very proud to introduce you to my first limited edition "Goods for franci_chelli": this silk blouse, entirely conceived and produced in Italy, in the silk farms of Como. A silk blouse is a very elegant and versatile item, sober and sophisticated together, a real jolly to keep in the closet and that's why I started from here. A few months ago, together with Goods Milano we decided its design, with a soft cut, a V neckline and flouncy sleeves, refined and e

And now you Post on Instagram?

"But you did management, didn't you? Now you also post on Instagram?" This is very often people's understanding and simplified translation of what I have undertaken. Over time, I've been able to tell my family what it is, though there are still some gray areas in addition to some unsavory discomfort to an activity that is virtually a full-time job and therefore a delicate matter, especially when invading personal spaces. But what does it mean being "blogger" or "influencer"?

How 'Pariser' without Colette?

When I lived in Brussels in 1997, thanks to Thalys, the train that linked it to Paris in an hour and twenty, I discovered Colette just before Christmas of that year, when it was just opened. Since that moment on, whenever I was in Paris I never missed a pilgrimage to this super cool concept store, which yesterday July 13th has announced that it will close on 31th December. On early July I had just dropped by, during the Haute Couture, and I made a pic of this T- shirt which i

Cinque Terre: la Vita nei suoi Elementi Essenziali

Le Cinque Terre sono cinque piccoli borghi di antica tradizione marinara, situati nella provincia di La Spezia, in Liguria. Per me rappresentano una terra madre, dal momento che nella mia infanzia ci trascorrevo una grande parte delle vacanze estive. Andare nel pomeriggio a prendere un gelato nel paesino vecchio di Vernazza con la sua elegante architettura e i suoi portali decorativi, finendo poi per rimanere a cena da Gianni Franzi nel piccolo porto - perché sarebbe stato u

Cinque Terre: Life in its Essential Components

The Cinque Terre are five tiny villages in the province of La Spezia of ancient maritime traditions, nestled in the region of Liguria. They represent for me a mother land, as a great part of my Summer vacation in my earliest childhood was spent around them. Going in the afternoon for an ice cream in the old town of Vernazza with its elegant architecture and decorative portals, and ending up dining at Gianni Franzi in front of the small port - as it was a pity going back too

A Style Inspiration Preview

I'm trying to interpret which will be the way to understand style for next season, investigating concepts, colors and influences that will define it. As always, the main guidelines around which a season focuses its inspiration are concentrated on a whole set of elements and reflect what is happening in our global culture, expressing our mood and attitudes. I see in the first place a general dream to go back to nature, the desire to breathe pure air, to re-oxygenate and draw n

The most beautiful color

Green water is for me the reference color when I want to specify the water of a certain point of the Sardinian sea, towards which I always feel a desire for nearly physical possession. A special place where I have been since a long time, and my spirit has fallen deep in love with. I still remember the exact moment when, lying in the shade of a beach umbrella, with the breeze gently caressing me while I was hypnotizing by that color of water, I felt a motion of my spirit that

If luggage could talk...

The ability to store the impossible in a suitcase is a skill that I nurture since I was a girl. I have always traveled a lot with my family and growing up I kept this habit, for business or pleasure, without compromising on quality and quantity of my clothes. I don't like to wear the same dress twice and therefore I arrange to build versatile combinations to be always different. At the end, as for everything in life, you just have to understand your nature, adapting it to the

The Fanes Kingdom

Crispy calamari on a cream of peas with stracciatella di burrata - and it is just the appetizer for a dinner peeping at the right time, after a day of skiing in the breathless scenario of the Dolomites and a few hours spent in the SPA of the Hotel Fanes. First of all the ritual of Augfuss - the steam infusions that melt even your thoughts. A ritual of wellness and purification represented by spilling snowballs, mixed with essential oils, on hot stones placed over the sauna gr

Il Regno del Fanes

Calamari croccanti su crema di piselli e stracciatella di burrata - ed è soltanto l'antipasto di una cena che fa capolino al momento giusto, dopo una giornata di tanto sci nello scenario mozzafiato delle Dolomiti e qualche ora trascorsa nella SPA dell'Hotel Fanes. Prima il rito dell' Augfuss - le gettate di vapore che sciolgono anche i pensieri. Un rituale di benessere e di purificazione che comporta il versamento di palle di neve miscelate con oli essenziali sulle pietre rov

L'arancione è il colore più felice

Inizio questo mio articolo con una frase di Frank Sinatra che è perfetta per introdurre il colore del mio look di oggi. L'arancio è un colore talmente dirompente che tocca le corde delle emozioni e fa vibrare la felicità in una giornata di sole primaverile. L’arancione rappresenta l'abbondanza ed è un colore caldo ed energetico, con significati legati alla socialità, all'ottimismo. E' associato al secondo chakra, e quindi alle emozioni, alla ricettività, alla fertilità. E' un
