From.Orange.to.Orange

Here we go. I am back. This time I am back for real, I guess. I hope. I wish.

My first ever posted post, back in October 2008, was titled "Color of a city", dedicated to "MY" Milano and starring a tram and orange, which is - for those who followed my blog - officially one of my fav colors.

This new beginning start exactly from this:
- Orange
- Milan+London
- SS2012 WFShows

Milano - Sept2011

Orange is still everywhere, we need its good vibrant and warm personality. And it is extraordinary "urban". Perfect to give power to clean contemporary design but also to the most feminine classical shapes.

In particular I found an interesting parallelism between the mixing of White+Orange+Black both in upcoming fashion and big cities transport architectures/backgrounds

Coming back feels really good. Stay Tuned!

BACK

It just took a long (and more) year. But I am back. Wanting to start again with my blog, a place that gave me a lot of freedom of expression, nice contacts and a lot of nurturing discussions with many incredible people.

Stay connected

Feelings and imagery on the same palette

My previous post was part of diffrent inspiring images, materials and colors spinning around my mind these days.
I am pretty touched by the visionary choice of colours and fabrics by favourite designers such as Peter Pilotto, Roland Mouret, Gianni Serra and Marco de Vincenzo. They just somehow connected with our earth...tuning also with the activities of volcan Ejafjalla in Iceland...

Terra di Siena and around. Jewelries and fav palette

I have noticed that recently, my unconditional affection for nude/skin color has been partly enlarged to include a new palette, which starts from pale coral and goes through Terra di Siena red.

Plus, I have been captured by images of reddish bricks and walls, dunes, clouds and rocks.
Easy to understand why last week I was touched and felt in love with the jewelry lookbooks by ManiaMania first and Estelle Devé later.

The most curious thing is that both brands are based in Australia. And somehow the research and inspiration behind their latest collections have kinda connection. ManiaMania "Real life awaits us" is inspired to "The Holy mountain" by Jodorowsky. Yon can tell that just looking at the pictures. They put together Mesoamerican culture, stones that look like pieces of wild nature and rocks, the 70ies, shamanism and metaphysical.


On the other side we have Davé, who called the collection "Lunar Mare", defined as "medley of science fiction fantasy and tribal nuances", inspiring futuristic images of a rough natural scenery/elegant body armour. A glimpse of a space odyssey which collects images of the past, magic and tribal.

I love both collections.
And they reminded me of sweet Fanny Raponi, whose collection I found out almost a year ago by now and used for a shooting in the mines.... She is a real artist, and I love the way she uses vintage silver objects to create and carve these supper-poetic accessories...


Ups...I lost myself! didn't I want to post about my new enlarged beloved palette??!?!?!?!
