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

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

Since Summer is just around the corner , I wanted to share some of my looks to inspire you when packing for the destination of your holiday. First of all this season will reveal the jubilation of the one-piece! Well yes, exactly the one-piece which completely dresses us, will have the leading role on the beaches and in the pools. The one that I wear in this picture is enriched by ruffles, definitely a very glamorous and feminine creation. Like some of the new one-pieces for t

A white dress should never be missing in your wardrobe: simple, fresh and summery, it can go with everything as well as it can be mixed with colorful and glamorous details. White is one of the main colors of this season, but in general is a shade that is almost always found in the Spring and Summer collections. Easy, chic, romantic. But it is also practical and suitable for both formal and leisure occasions. It's definitely a must have! Marriage certainly comes to mind with a

Il verde acqua è per me il colore di riferimento quando voglio indicare l'acqua di un certo punto di mare della Sardegna verso il quale provo sempre un desiderio di possesso quasi fisico. Un posto speciale che frequento da molto tempo e del quale il mio spirito si è innamorato profondamente. Ricordo ancora il preciso istante quando, sdraiata all'ombra di un ombrellone, con la brezza che mi accarezzava dolcemente mentre miravo ipnotizzata quel colore dell'acqua, provai un moto

The high waisted jeans in very dark blue denim I'm wearing in this picture gives an elegant and chic effect, if accompanied by important accessories, such as embroidered boots in blue shades and a big squared croc bag with blue stitching. Today I start from here, telling you about a so versatile garment that is not lacking in anyone's wardrobe. This article will show you how this garment with different forge and lines, simply combined with a white shirt and with always differ

"And here, suddenly the discovery of a hidden cove, olives and chestnut trees. A small village, Portofino, spreads like a crescent moon around this calm basin. We slowly cross the narrow passage that unites this magnificent natural harbor to the sea, and we go to the amphitheater of houses, surrounded by a forest of a powerful and fresh green, and everything reflects in the mirror of the calm waters, where some fishing boats seem to sleep."

The dress code of the Royal Ascot - the most expected elite date in the UK - has been updated. This year the innovation is related to the admittance of jumpsuits among the accepted formal dress codes to this event. This Summer in fact women will be able to wear jumpsuits at the Ascot Royal Enclosure, one of the most important racecourse in the world, following this change to the dress code. Before the new ruling, female racegoers could wear skirts or dresses falling just abov

Yesterday, for the presentation of the Spring Summer 2017 Collection, I have been invited to spend the day at the Fendi Boutique in Milan, where, with wonderful flower decorations and top pastry masterpieces, an atmosphere like the court of Marie Antoinette was magically recreated.
