23 Jul 2024

From Bella Hadid to Emily Ratajkowski, passing through Mahmood and Diletta Leotta, white lace is one of the coolest fashion trends of summer 2024. Hyper feminine and sexy it can be shown off in a total look or as a detail.

Much like the movement of a snake’s journey as it sheds old skin to emerge anew, reborn. It is reflective of the concept of kundalini -... Read More

Schiaparelli: An Everyday Sensation

13 Feb 2024

In her private album, the actress Marisa Berenson describes a pivotal moment in the early career of her grandmother Elsa Schiaparelli. It was 1927, and Elsa was admiring a friend’s sweater.

Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023-24

15 Aug 2023

Nameless and universal, a Château can exist as an everyplace for everyone, can become a forum for a new... Read More
