My dear fashionistas, welcome to another fashion story of Mrs. Mom on the Mr.M blog! I have to admit that I was away and that I took a break, but I really needed it. You know that I have been sharing my fashion adventures with you for years with great love and passion, with a firmly rooted charm of classic elegance, but after everything that happened to me after the surgery, I have my ups and downs. I may have skipped the spring-summer season this year, but I’m back to show you the beauty of the new autumn-winter collection of numerous brands because I’m especially happy to snuggle up in pieces that are not only warm and cozy, but also sophisticated. Today’s star of this fashion story will be this incredible black FERRAGAMO shearling jacket.
Each of the pieces from today’s story carries the story of a woman who carefully built her style throughout her life and each is a living part of the story of the famous fashion world. As a woman with a lot of life experience, I understand how important it is for clothing to be of high quality and for all aspects of the brand’s design and heritage to shine through in each fashion piece. Today’s story is an announcement of a new fashion season, but still a warm personal story that reflects the special combination of these brands and my personal story of style and femininity.
For me, fashion is much more than clothes, it is art in motion and a story about me. For many years I have been building my style by wanting to combine comfort and timeless elegance, just as Italian brands regularly show through their collections. Even today, at the age of 67, I believe that it is never too late for “La Dolce Vita” or as Federico Fellini put it: life is sweet elegance. On my journey to adulthood, fashion has always been my faithful companion. I remember buying my first designer handbag, walking on the cobblestones of Milan and the glamor of the 80s, which I experienced as a young girl full of dreams through numerous trips. Each chapter of that “sweet life” of my youth took me further in terms of fashion, making me now enjoy every outfit in which I recognize myself.
Apart from fashion, I like to talk about life, which has become a gift that I celebrate every day after surgery. As a daughter, sister and mother, I have learned to carry my heritage into every piece I wear. My family knows that the name “Mrs. Mom” is a true fashionista, and they know that style makes me happy. I see life through fashion as a daily ritual, choosing clothes becomes an act of gratitude to the body and spirit. That’s why I’m inspired by the idea of ”La Dolce Eleganza” as a way of life. In everyday life, I find small joys in the details and I believe that they are what depict my personal elegance. When I wear pieces like this outfit, I feel the warmth of memories and the pride of continuing the tradition of Italian fashion. I want to believe that you can find some inspiration in my story, whether you like Ferragamo, Hermès, Max Mara or all of them, fashion is something that makes my life after family more interesting.
Through all these pieces: a black FERRAGAMO shearling jacket, a warm cashmere Max Mara turtleneck, an unusual Bvlgari necklace, extravagant Dolce & Gabbana shoes and the legendary Hermès Birkin bag, I give some of my personal signature to femininity and the joy of everyday life. Every detail in this fashion story is a combination of Italian tradition and my fond memories. That’s why the name of today’s post “La Dolce Eleganza” makes me especially happy, because that expression (“sweet elegance”) means a combination of a certain refinement and warmth, as I see my vision of fashion. In the continuation of the fashion story, I will present you all the pieces: their characteristics, but also what they mean to me. Let’s start then with my favorite winter ally for this season, the black FERRAGAMO shearling jacket, in which my story gets a new chapter.

My Favorite This FW25 Season: FERRAGAMO Black Shearling Jacket
The black FERRAGAMO shearling is an unmistakable classic. The material is extremely soft and finely pleated, and the cut is impeccably elegant and refined for every stylish woman. This monton exudes that passion for subtle yet powerful elegance that Ferragamo cultivates in its pieces. When I wear it, I feel comfort with style and security that only Italian fashion artisans can always make. This monton is so soft, just when I put it over my shoulder, it wraps around me like a hug, and I especially enjoy the feeling of wearing a piece of high fashion that is very light and comfortable at the same time. With this piece of clothing, I believe that the Ferragamo team wanted to convey the message that elegance and comfort go together and this jacket is proof that this is precisely the success of this timeless Italian brand from the heart of Tuscany – Florence.
It’s interesting that this black shearling is more than just a jacket, because sometimes it’s like an old friend who understands me. While I was taking pictures of this outfit on the street, a couple of random passers-by complimented me on my beautiful jacket. I always tried to follow each compliment with a smile and a warm thank you, with the unconscious thought that this jacket actually carries the story of the true knowledge and skill of Italian craftsmanship that the Salvatore Ferragamo team has woven into its clothing. Every seam and edge exudes care. I am still surprised by the elegant details like the elegant handmade leather collar or the discreet buckle: the noble shades of gold and the texture of the leather material remind me of the hills of Tuscany, the landscape from which the passion for the craft comes. Every thread and weave reminds me that FERRAGAMO valued inspiration from nature from the very beginning, and this is a legacy that I always carry with me with joy.
As I walked today to where I wanted to shoot this outfit, I thought countless times about the history that is woven into this amazing design. Salvatore Ferragamo opened his first store in Florence in 1927 and since then his creations have been expected to be a mix of innovation and top Italian craftsmanship. This still stands today as a sign of his reputation, because Ferragamo has a recognized international reputation in the fashion world.
I plan to wear this shirt on some more formal occasions as well. Maybe with a simple black dress and pearls, because in such moments I feel like I’m re-creating the already started scene of old Italian movies about glamor and actresses wearing only the best. Many will say it’s vintage, but this shearling jacket of mine carries a modern spirit: it combines clean lines and balanced proportions with some subtle hidden elegance.
FERRAGAMO Black Trousers, a Sophisticated Must-Have Classic
Black elegance is never enough, so these FERRAGAMO trousers have become the basis of many outfits. The style of these classic trousers is timeless, following the slim lines of the waist, and the legs are classically cut to flatter the silhouette of your body. These trousers combine comfort and Italian charm, combining high-quality materials and a superior Italian craftsmanship approach. I am aware that Ferragamo maintains high standards in the production of clothing items, for years they have been especially known for footwear and leather details. However, the brand has also developed in the ready-to-wear segment: its pieces for women have always been designed to be comfortable and elegant, true to the idea that chic clothing does not have to be tight and impractical. I see that combination in my closet as well: the material of these pants is somewhat stretchy and soft, which allows me to move easily, and at the same time emphasizes the refinement of ease of movement in every occasion.
To me, these pants are the epitome of subtle power. Over time, I became convinced that Ferragamo builds its identity over time. Ferdinand Alexander Gabini’s wife understood that they needed to ensure women in all segments of clothing. For many decades, Ferragamo has been faithful to the modern woman, including my generation. Even the black color itself has its own story, it is a symbol of timeless strength and self-confidence.
Today’s outfit tells the story of impeccable style in elegant silhouettes. The neutral black color of these pants is ideal for combining with numerous fashion details in my wardrobe. That’s why I often choose classic silk blouses or light-colored shirts, knowing that these pants will always “calm down” the overall fashion experience. Combined with these pants and even with casual sneakers or boots, Ferragamo confirms that its fashion pieces can fit into absolutely any style. This gives me the freedom to be creative and to decorate my clothing combinations with something new every day, while at the same time staying true to the concept of elegant comfort that Ferragamo tirelessly promotes through its collections.
Max Mara Turtleneck: Warm Elegance
This soft cashmere Max Mara turtleneck sweater is a dream piece. When it gets cold, I like to wrap my neck in warm knitwear from the Max Mara collection, as their cashmere garments provide a gentle touch of comfort and luxury. I feel the softness of the fine material that hugs me like a favorite coat, yet every stitch is precisely made. Max Mara is a fashion house with a tradition of outstanding craftsmanship: their founder Achille Maramotti launched the brand in 1951, which would become the leader of modern women’s ready-to-wear. No matter how modern and urban, this brand appreciates discreet tailoring and premium materials. It is this passion for fashion, attention to detail and creative tradition that form the foundation of their collections. This white turtleneck is designed for the woman full of life, for the fashion adventurer who knows that fashion should support her personality.
While I was getting ready for this photo shoot, I looked in the mirror and I was adjusting the collar of my turtleneck and I felt a sense of true elegance. This is definitely no ordinary sweater, but a little masterpiece of Italian design. I know that Max Mara carefully selects fibres: from fine cashmere to quality wool, so that the fabric is as delicate as the icing on the finest cake. I have to admit, it’s so soft I’d describe it as the coziest hug in clothing form. I never feel cold when I wear it, every cold day like that reminds me why I appreciate a brand that sets high standards for itself.
Max Mara is also special because the brand has always focused on modern, self-aware women, not victims of trends. Achille Maramotti then dreamed of women who appreciate practical yet luxurious pieces. His motto was that clothes are there to emphasize the character of the woman who wears them, and not to dictate fashion, that’s exactly the power of this roll, which can be sophisticated and casual at the same time. Just as Max Mara combines tradition and innovation in its values, so I combine elegant spirit and spontaneity.
I can’t fail to mention their iconic coats: Max Mara is known in the fashion world for their “Teddy Bear” coats as well as the classic “101801” coats. I own an interesting collection of Max Mara coats and every time I think of them, I am inspired by the passion that the Maramotti family invests in luxurious minimalism.
Interesting Story: How I got the Hermès Birkin Bag
The Hermès Birkin bag is the dream of every true lover of luxury fashion, and I am no exception. When I went on my first business trip to Paris, while I was walking the streets of Paris and admiring the windows of luxury fashion brands, I was drawn to one, a beautiful example of a Birkin bag was shining in it. I didn’t know at the time that that particular black model would become a symbol of my fashion happiness. I have been researching this fashion phenomenon and the history of the French fashion house Hermès for a long time. If legend is to be believed, the Birkin bag was created in 1984 after a chance meeting between the Hermès director and actress Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. The bag is immediately conceived as a large, elegant piece that combines sophistication and practicality. Today, Birkin is a symbol of luxury: each model is made by an experienced artist, who spends 15 to 20 hours of dedicated work. That handmade bag reminds me that there can be and is a little piece of magic in every fashion item.
I bought my first Hermès bag from my bonus, and then the bag was not waited for like today, but could be bought like any normal bag in the store. That moment when the bag finally reached me, I couldn’t take the smile off my face knowing that I was carrying a piece of history and craftsmanship. Then I bought a bag made of plain leather, but I saw beautiful crocodile bags that were too expensive for my income, but I made a promise that one day I would own one such bag. For those not familiar with the history of this famous French fashion house, the beginnings of Hermès are quite artisanal: the house was founded in 1837 as a workshop for saddles and horse equipment in Paris. Every Birkin bag, including mine, is created in an Italian or French atelier with the kind of attention we rarely see today. Those solid seams and precise edges are not worked by ordinary machines, but by human hands that pass knowledge from generation to generation. Now that I wear it, with every movement and elegance I feel that I am an extension of that traditional artisanal spirit.
How did I get this exotic Birkin? 3 years ago, March 2022 to be exact, my son received an interesting email from a lady who complimented me on my work on the blog and invited me to her own private sale. When we read the name of the sender of the e-mail better, my son and I realized that it was one of the women who belong to the very top of the Berlin elite, and then her life was a real roller coaster due to a stormy divorce. The purpose of this sale was for the famous owner to get rid of all the unwanted gifts she ever received from her husband after decades of marriage…
Marko and I left without too much hope of buying anything as neither of us could even guess the price range as this was the sale of the century. When we entered the rented hall of the luxury hotel, we were greeted by the smiling hostess of this event and showed us around the tables, which were full of luxury pieces of shoes, jewelry, bags, clothes lined up with labels, things were like new. At one point Marko comes excitedly to me and tries to drag me to the glass windows where the bags made of exotic skins stood. We were given gloves and the hostess asked us which bag we would like to see.
There were at least 40-50 Hermes bags made of exotic leathers, models like Birkin, Kelly, Constance simply blew my mind. One of them was this bag and the owner explained that she hadn’t worn it for a long time, that she got it a long time ago and that it got that patina color from standing so it looks black-grey. What won me over were the gold details and I thought this would be the first and last time I would see such bags in my life. Since she was the only one with gold accessories, there was no other choice for me.
I was afraid to ask for the price because I thought I would die of sadness that I would have to leave her, but my Marko, as always, was more direct and faster than me and asked for the price. What shocked me was the answer of our hostess: “How much can you pay her right now and take it out of my life?”. I asked her to repeat, she explained why she didn’t like that bag and why she didn’t wear it, and since she likes our blog, she would be happy if that bag made someone happy. I shyly told Marko how much money I brought because I assumed it was paid in cash and Marko without a moment’s thought told the amount to the hostess and she smiled and said: “Looks like the bag has found a new home!”.
She asked her assistants to bring boxes and papers for the bag and let us choose a gift scarf for the bag and a toy, an ornament for the purse, so that we would have one nice package. I was in shock the whole time while Marko was finishing it and later on the way out I noticed another bag that I couldn’t believe I would ever find and the woman said that we can pay the amount to her account because she likes our work and she is convinced that we will pay because her goal was to sell out all the things in two days. I paid for those two bags symbolically, and to this day I am still shocked at how I managed to do it.
Play of Patterns: Dolce & Gabbana Black Patent Shoes mixed up with Leopard
These leopard leather shoes are my little rebellion against conventional elegance. Every time I put them on, I feel the energy of the Mediterranean temperament, a bit rebellious, but at the same time flirtatious. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the duo behind this brand, drew inspiration from Italian culture and Mediterranean heritage; their aesthetic is proud and bright, just like their favorite leopard print.
It always makes me smile when I remember how Domenico and Stefano adopted that print: their first collection called “Le Eolie” from 1992 was a real ode to leopard patterns. Since the print has become a trademark of the brand, every new collection undoubtedly brings at least one piece in a wild pattern. As a loyal fan of their passion, these shoes bring me a bit of wild beauty every day. It’s not just about the pattern here, it’s also about the way they are designed: they are so tight and flirty, they add volume to the leg and firmness to the step, they remind me of the baroque style on the streets of Naples and Milan. Every metal detail, such as small buckles and detailed seams, exudes luxury that can be felt even while walking. I know that D&G shows how fashion is for brave souls, so I wear them when I want to add a dose of fun drama with bright prints to my everyday life.
Just like my favorite dresses from the D&G collections, these shoes are a combination of beauty and comfort and taught me that there are no rules in fashion. I let them be my little rebellion and I know that with them every step I take echoes with courage and confidence. Because the point of fashion is not to blindly follow trends, but that every step and pattern be the personal attitude of the person who wears them, which Dolce & Gabbana always show with their creations.
At the end of this story, I want you to remember whether you are 30, 60 or 90 years old, true elegance has no age limit. Let’s overcome the myths that luxury is reserved only for the young. The Golden Age itself is a celebration of style, as our fashion pieces tell the story of the past and the present, and this is exactly what makes fashion timeless. Every morning when I choose my outfit, I have two allies: my experience and a passion that is easy to follow on the fashion runway. Thank you for being a part of today’s “Mrs. Mom’s Fashion Diary” These pieces are waiting to be talked about, but this story depicts the most important thing: the combination of knowledge and tenderness, fashion and comfort, fun and elegance. As a real Mrs. Mom, I know that with a touch of elegance, style is always easier to follow with a smile.
When I look at this whole fashion story today, I feel that I have written a kind of roadmap of femininity in every age. That’s what I want you to remember from today’s “fashion diary”, that brands like Ferragamo, Max Mara, Hermès and Dolce & Gabbana are bridges between generations. After all, every fashion piece tells a story about a touch of history and personal desires and passions. I will continue with my belief that the true power of style lies in the combination of experience and love for beauty, regardless of age. Stay brave and charming, my dears, and don’t forget to hold your head high, because fashion, and indeed all life’s journeys, are better when shared with a smile and knowledge.
Written with love and extended life experience.

This post is sponsored by FERRAGAMO, Max Mara and Dolce & Gabbana brands. This post is my personal and honest review of their products.
I have been following Mrs. Mom’s fashion diaries for more than a year now, and every time I read one, I feel like I’m transported to another world. This Ferragamo story is a masterpiece, full of elegance and timeless grace. I particularly loved how you explained the subtle details of accessories and their connection to Italian heritage. The writing feels like a gentle conversation between friends, not just a fashion report. I also admire how you always make luxury fashion so approachable. You really have a rare gift of turning style into poetry. It makes me want to rediscover Ferragamo through your eyes.
This is actually my very first visit to your blog, thanks to a recommendation from a close friend who is a loyal reader and she explained me what happened to you 2 years ago. I must say, I was instantly impressed by the storytelling quality of this Ferragamo post. I didn’t expect to find such warmth and detail in a fashion blog. I appreciate the way how you write not only about clothes but about the lifestyle and emotions they create. The descriptions of elegance felt like reading a classic Italian novel. It’s rare to feel inspired and educated at the same time. I’ll definitely be coming back for more of your diaries. I’m curious to know, how long have you been writing this beautiful series of fashion stories?
What I admire most about this blog is the balance between sophistication and sincerity. In this Ferragamo article, Mrs. Mom didn’t just describe a style; you painted an entire atmosphere of la dolce vita. I love the way how you connected your personal story with the brand’s elegance was captivating. I also loved the photographs that made every detail shine. This is not only fashion inspiration but also cultural education. Many influencers just show outfits, but you bring them to life with meaning. I feel more confident in choosing timeless pieces after reading your stories every time. Honestly, you have become one of my favorite voices in fashion.
Reading this diary made me think about my mother, who was also a lover of Ferragamo shoes. Mrs. Mom writes with such respect for tradition while making it relevant for modern women. The elegance in your words feels like a gentle reminder that true style never fades. I admire your choice of highlighting the femininity and softness that Ferragamo represents. It’s something the fashion industry sometimes forgets in the rush for trends. This article made me slow down and appreciate details again. I truly hope you will continue to share these heartfelt stories. Have you ever considered publishing a book with all your fashion stories?
Ich lese Frau Rose Modegeschichten schon seit Monaten, und sie schaffen es jedes Mal, mich zum Träumen zu bringen. Der Ferragamo-Artikel ist voller Anmut, Eleganz und dieser typisch italienischen Wärme. Besonders gefällt mir, wie sie Details beschreibt, die man im Alltag oft übersieht. Ihre Worte klingen nicht wie ein Magazintext, sondern wie eine vertraute Stimme. Das macht den Blog so besonders. Mode wirkt bei ihr wie ein Lebensgefühl, nicht nur wie ein Kleidungsstück. Ich habe sofort Lust bekommen, wieder klassische Ferragamo-Schuhe zu tragen. Gibt es vielleicht bald eine kleine Serie nur über Accessoires?
I have read several of your posts before, but this one about Ferragamo felt extra special. Maybe because I am planning a trip to Florence soon and your descriptions gave me new ideas of what elegance really means there. Your sensitivity to fabric, cut, and atmosphere is outstanding. I appreciate that you never write in a rushed or superficial way. Each sentence feels like it was carefully chosen. It shows your deep respect for fashion as an art form. I felt inspired to revisit my wardrobe and invest in pieces that carry meaning. I will definitely re-read this diary before my journey to Italy in November!
Zum ersten Mal bin ich durch eine Empfehlung einer Freundin auf diesen Blog gestoßen. Normalerweise lese ich nicht viele Modeblogs, aber dieser hat mich sofort gefesselt. Frau Rose schreibt mit so viel Gefühl und Präzision, dass man Ferragamo neu entdecken möchte. Ihre Geschichte über Eleganz hat mich sehr berührt. Es war fast so, als würde ich eine kleine italienische Reise machen, nur durch Worte. Ich liebe diese Art von Inspiration. Ich freue mich darauf, weitere Geschichten zu lesen. Vielleicht erzählt sie auch einmal von anderen italienischen Marken wie Valentino?

Was für ein wundervolles, elegantes Outfit! Besonders beeindruckt mich, wie harmonisch die Ferragamo Lammfelljacke zu den Ferragamo-Hosen passt. Der monochrome Look wirkt sehr klassisch und gleichzeitig modern. Der Farbton der Hermès Birkin Tasche bringt eine schöne luxuriöse Note ins Spiel. Die Kombination mit dem Max Mara Rollkragenpullover setzt einen tollen Kontrast dazu. Die Dolce & Gabbana Schuhe sind das i-Tüpfelchen, sie verleihen dem Ensemble einen Hauch Extravaganz. Ihre positive Ausstrahlung und Ihr Stil sind einfach inspirierend, liebe Rose!
Es ist unglaublich, wie jugendlich und selbstbewusst Sie mit 67 aussehen! Ihr Outfit strahlt eine so zeitlose Eleganz aus.

Sie sehen einfach fantastisch aus! Dieses komplette Outfit ist wirklich von Kopf bis Fuß inspiriert von italienischem Chic.

Für mich ist Ihr Stil ein echtes Vorbild, weiter so!
Sei davvero radiosa in questo completo! Ogni pezzo, dalla giacca Ferragamo al maglione Max Mara, fino alla borsa Hermès, si sposa perfettamente con l’altro.

Il tuo sorriso e la tua energia rendono il look ancora più bello. Grazie per condividere la tua esperienza e il tuo gusto!
Sono innamorata di ogni dettaglio del tuo outfit! La giacca Ferragamo è straordinaria e ti sta da Dio. Mi chiedo come fai ad abbinare così bene tutti questi pezzi da capogiro. Ad esempio, il dolcevita Max Mara dal colore chiaro crea un bel contrasto con il nero della giacca e dei pantaloni. L’abbinamento con le scarpe animalier di Dolce & Gabbana è anche molto originale e audace. Avrei una curiosità: hai qualche consiglio su come scegliere la borsa perfetta da abbinare con un abbigliamento già ricco di dettagli? Ti ringrazio per averci mostrato questa splendida mise, sei davvero fonte di stile!

Dear Rose, your concept of “La Dolce Eleganza” is something I will carry with me long after reading this post the idea that elegance is not just about clothing but about a way of approaching life is so beautifully expressed here. I have always admired Ferragamo for their roots in Florence and the extraordinary legacy that Salvatore Ferragamo built from his first shop there in 1927, combining genuine artisanal knowledge with a vision for modern women. The black shearling jacket you are wearing is exactly the kind of piece that makes you stop and think about what craftsmanship truly means that handmade leather collar with the gold buckle detail is such a thoughtful signature. I also want to say that your description of the jacket feeling impossibly light despite being a shearling is something I have heard about high-end sheepskin pieces, and it is wonderful to see that quality confirmed in real life. Your whole story reminds me that fashion at its best is a conversation between the person who creates it and the person who wears it.
Beste Rose, wat een prachtig en diepgaand modebericht! Ik ben al jaren een bewonderaar van Ferragamo, vooral vanwege hun ongelooflijke vakmanschap in schoeisel en leder, maar na dit artikel kijk ik met nieuwe ogen naar hun ready-to-wear collectie. De beschrijving van de shearling jas die zachtheid, dat lichte gewicht, het handgemaakte lederen kraagje met gouden gesp klinkt als een stuk dat je echt niet wil uittrekken. Wat mij ook erg trof is het verhaal achter de Hermès Birkin tas en de bijzondere manier waarop jullie die hebben bemachtigd op die privéverkoop in Berlijn dat is een soort modefairy tale die je zelden leest op een blog. Ik heb zelf een Max Mara “101801” jas die ik al meer dan vijftien jaar draag en die er nog steeds perfect uitziet, dus ik begrijp volledig waarom je zo hecht aan stukken van dit kaliber. Dank je wel voor dit prachtige verhaal vol echte passie voor mode!
Chère Rose, quelle belle façon de nous revenir avec ce récit de mode inspiré de la dolce vita! La veste en shearling noir de Ferragamo est une pièce que j’imagine portée dans les rues de Florence ou de Milan avec cette légèreté et cette sophistication typiquement italiennes. Ce qui m’a particulièrement touchée, c’est votre description de la doublure intérieure et du col en cuir fait main avec ses détails en or on sent immédiatement que chaque décision dans la conception de cette veste a été pensée avec soin. Je suis également grande admiratrice de Max Mara depuis des années : Achille Maramotti avait une vision très rare pour 1951, celle d’une femme moderne qui n’a pas besoin de sacrifier le confort pour être élégante, et cette philosophie transparaît encore dans chaque collection. Avez-vous d’autres pièces de la collection Max Mara automne-hiver que vous souhaitez nous présenter bientôt? Je suis impatiente de lire vos prochaines histoires!
Hello Rose, I have to tell you that the story of how you acquired the Hermès Birkin crocodile bag is one of the most extraordinary things I have ever read on any fashion blog. The history of Hermès is already so fascinating — the idea that a French maison founded in 1837 as a workshop for saddles and horse equipment in Paris would one day produce the most coveted handbag on earth is almost unbelievable. And the detail that each Birkin is assembled by a single artisan who dedicates between fifteen and twenty hours to its creation makes every seam and stitch feel so much more meaningful. I own a Birkin in togo leather that I saved for over three years to purchase, and reading your story brought back all the emotion of that day when I first held it. The patina color you describe on yours that beautiful dark grey-black that developed from years of careful storage sounds absolutely unique and irreplaceable. Thank you for sharing this personal piece of your fashion history with us.
Liebe Rose, herzlich willkommen zurück! Ich habe Ihre Modegeschichten sehr vermisst und dieser Beitrag über Ferragamo ist ein wundervoller Neustart in die Herbst-Winter-Saison. Die Art, wie Sie die schwarze Shearling-Jacke beschreiben so weich, so leicht, wie eine Umarmung macht mich wirklich neugierig auf dieses Stück, denn ich hatte immer den Eindruck, dass Schaffell schwer und unhandlich sein kann. Besonders beeindruckt mich Ihre Überlegung, die Jacke auch zu einer schlichten schwarzen Abendgarderobe mit Perlen zu tragen, denn das ist eine Kombination, die ich mir sofort auf einer Theaterpremiere vorstellen kann. Die Geschichte der Marke Ferragamo, die seit der Eröffnung des ersten Geschäfts in Florenz im Jahr 1927 für die Verbindung von handwerklicher Exzellenz und Innovation steht, macht diese Jacke noch wertvoller. Darf ich fragen, ob Sie die Ferragamo-Hose auch separat, zum Beispiel mit einer leichten Seidenbluse für weniger formelle Anlässe, kombinieren würden?
Rose, this post made me genuinely emotional in the best possible way. Your reference to Federico Fellini and “La Dolce Vita” as a framework for understanding elegance is so apt there is something in that Italian philosophy of savoring beauty in everyday moments that resonates deeply, especially as we grow older and learn what really matters. The Dolce & Gabbana leopard patent shoes are my favourite detail in this whole outfit: the story of how Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana made leopard print an absolute signature of their brand starting with that very first “Le Eolie” collection in 1992 is something every true fashion lover should know. I personally own a pair of D&G leopard heeled mules from a few seasons ago and they are the most conversation-starting shoes I have ever worn strangers stop me to ask about them. The courage to pair something so playful with such a refined all-black Ferragamo ensemble is exactly the kind of fashion intelligence that takes years to develop. You wear your experience beautifully, Rose.
Querida Rose, ¡qué alegría ver que has vuelto con una historia de moda tan rica en detalles y emoción! La chaqueta de shearling negro de Ferragamo es simplemente impecable ese cuello de cuero hecho a mano con los detalles dorados que describes me recuerda exactamente por qué las marcas italianas siguen siendo insuperables en el sector del lujo. Me encantó también la reflexión sobre cómo los pantalones de Ferragamo combinan una tela con un toque elástico que facilita el movimiento sin sacrificar ni un ápice de elegancia, porque es algo que busco constantemente en la ropa y que tan pocas marcas consiguen. Yo tengo un par de zapatos de Ferragamo de tacón bajo con el icónico detalle del Gancini que compré hace ocho años en la boutique de Madrid y que siguen siendo mis favoritos para las ocasiones especiales. ¿Podrías contarnos más sobre cómo cuidas y conservas prendas tan delicadas como una chaqueta de shearling a lo largo de los años?
Bonjour Rose, j’ai dévoré cet article avec un grand plaisir! La façon dont vous racontez l’histoire de votre sac Hermès Birkin 35 en crocodile est digne d’un roman cette vente privée à Berlin, les dizaines de sacs en cuirs exotiques, les modèles Kelly, Constance et Birkin alignés derrière une vitre, et cette question inattendue de la vendeuse qui a tout changé. Il est vrai que la maison Hermès, fondée en 1837 à Paris comme atelier de sellerie et d’équipements pour chevaux, représente l’une des plus belles histoires de transmission de savoir-faire artisanal que l’on connaisse. Ce qui me touche dans votre récit, c’est aussi la patine naturelle de votre sac, ce noir-gris développé au fil du temps qui en fait une pièce absolument unique au monde. J’ai moi-même un sac Hermès Evelyne hérité de ma tante et cette idée de porter un objet qui a une vie propre me parle énormément. Merci pour cette belle histoire qui mêle mode et émotion avec tant d’élégance.
Lieve Rose, ik heb dit artikel meerdere keren gelezen omdat er zoveel te ontdekken is! De manier waarop je de filosofie van “La Dolce Eleganza” verbindt met concrete kledingstukken van de Ferragamo shearling jas tot de Max Mara trui en de Dolce & Gabbana schoenen laat zien dat je mode echt begrijpt als iets wat dieper gaat dan oppervlakkige trends. Ik ben al jaren fan van Max Mara, en wat jij schrijft over oprichter Achille Maramotti en zijn visie uit 1951 om kleding te maken dat de persoonlijkheid van de vrouw versterkt in plaats van dicteert, raakt mij heel erg. Ik heb zelf de iconische Max Mara “Teddy Bear” coat in camel en die jas heeft me door tientallen koude winters meegenomen zonder ooit zijn charme te verliezen. De Dolce & Gabbana luipaardprint schoenen zijn een geweldige keuze om het elegante zwarte ensemble wat sprankelender te maken ik zou nooit aan die combinatie gedacht hebben maar zie nu hoe perfect het werkt. Dankjewel voor deze inspirerende en diepgaande modedagboekpagina!
Cara Rose, sei tornata con un articolo straordinario e non potevo aspettarmi niente di meno da te! La scelta della giacca in shearling nero di Ferragamo come protagonista di questa storia è assolutamente azzeccata, perché è un capo che racchiude tutto ciò che rende grande la moda italiana: la qualità dei materiali, il taglio impeccabile e quei dettagli nascosti come il colletto in pelle fatto a mano con la fibbia dorata che fanno la differenza. Quello che mi ha colpito di più è la tua capacità di indossare un capo così importante senza che sembri un esibizionismo di lusso, ma piuttosto come un naturale prolungamento della tua personalità. Ho io stessa una giacca in shearling di un’altra casa fiorentina e confermo che quella leggerezza che descrivi è davvero la magia della lavorazione artigianale italiana moderna. Potresti dirci se Ferragamo offre anche un servizio di personalizzazione per i loro capi di abbigliamento, così come fanno per le scarpe e le borse?
Dear Rose, what strikes me most about this entire post is how you understand the difference between dressing expensively and dressing with genuine taste. The all-black Ferragamo ensemble the shearling jacket over the matching trousers could so easily become austere or cold, but the Max Mara cashmere turtleneck underneath introduces that warmth and softness that transforms the whole silhouette. I have been following the Ferragamo house since the early days of my career in fashion retail, and I have always found their ready-to-wear to be underappreciated compared to their legendary accessories, so it is wonderful to see someone giving those pieces the attention they deserve. The detail about the trousers having a slightly stretchy material that allows easy movement while maintaining a refined line is exactly what modern luxury tailoring should aspire to. Could you perhaps share how you would style the Ferragamo shearling jacket for a more casual daytime occasion perhaps with denim or a relaxed trouser?
Liebe Rose, dieser Beitrag trifft einen Nerv bei mir, weil ich selbst seit Jahrzehnten ein großer Fan der florentinischen Modekultur bin und Ferragamo dabei immer eine besondere Rolle gespielt hat. Das Bild der schwarzen Shearling-Jacke mit dem handgenähten Lederkragen und den goldenen Schnallendetails ist wirklich beeindruckend man spürt auch durch die Fotos die Qualität des Materials. Besonders interessant finde ich Ihre Reflexion darüber, dass Ferragamo von Anfang an von der Natur der toskanischen Hügel inspiriert wurde und dieses Erbe bis heute in jedem Stück sichtbar ist. Meine Frau trägt seit Jahren Ferragamo-Schuhe, insbesondere die klassischen Modelle mit dem Gancini-Detail, und ich bin überzeugt, dass die Marke in der Ready-to-Wear-Linie eine ebenso treue Fangemeinde verdient. Ihr gesamtes Outfit zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass man mit fünf gut gewählten Luxusstücken mehr Eleganz ausdrücken kann als mit einer ganzen Garderobe mittelpreisiger Kleidung.
Rose, the Hermès Birkin story you shared here is genuinely one of the most captivating pieces of fashion writing I have encountered in years. What I find so moving about it is not just the extraordinary luck of that private sale in Berlin, but the fact that you had been dreaming of owning a crocodile Birkin since the days when you could not afford it and that this dream followed you patiently until the right moment arrived. The history of the Birkin bag itself is remarkable: the idea that such an iconic piece was born from a chance conversation between Jane Birkin and the Hermès director on a flight from Paris to London in 1984 perfectly captures how the best things in fashion often happen unexpectedly. I am also fascinated by the patina on your particular bag that grey-black tone it has developed over time must make it look completely different from any new crocodile Birkin you might find in a boutique today. Do you ever take it to an Hermès atelier for restoration and conditioning, or do you prefer to preserve the natural aging of the leather?
Chère Rose, je suis tellement heureuse de vous lire à nouveau après cette pause! Votre façon d’écrire sur la mode est si unique parce que vous ne vous contentez pas de décrire des vêtements vous racontez des émotions, des souvenirs et une philosophie de vie qui résonne vraiment avec les femmes de notre génération. La veste en shearling Ferragamo est magnifique, mais ce qui m’a le plus frappée est la façon dont vous évoquez l’idée de la porter avec une robe noire simple et des perles pour recréer l’atmosphère des vieux films italiens on pense immédiatement à Sophia Loren ou Monica Vitti. Je possède moi-même un sac Hermès Kelly en cuir box que j’ai acheté il y a une quinzaine d’années, et comme vous je comprends profondément ce que signifie porter un objet qui représente des heures de travail artisanal irremplaçable. La référence à Federico Fellini et à la “dolce vita” comme métaphore de l’élégance est absolument parfaite pour cet ensemble. Merci pour ce retour en beauté!
Hola Rose, acabo de terminar de leer este artículo y me ha resultado absolutamente fascinante desde el principio hasta el final. La historia de los zapatos leopardo de Dolce & Gabbana es algo que no conocía en todos sus detalles saber que la primera colección de la marca, “Le Eolie” de 1992, ya era una oda al estampado leopardo como homenaje a la cultura mediterránea hace que cada par de zapatos con ese print sea casi un documento de historia de la moda. Yo misma tengo un vestido de Dolce & Gabbana con ese estampado icónico y lo que describes sobre cómo te hacen sentir los zapatos esa energía mediterránea, rebelde y coqueta a la vez es exactamente la sensación que tengo yo cada vez que me pongo esa prenda. La combinación que propones, mezclando esa nota de extravagancia felina con un conjunto totalmente negro y severo de Ferragamo, es una lección de estilo que pocas personas sabrían ejecutar con tanto equilibrio. ¡Bienvenida de vuelta, Rose, te hemos echado mucho de menos!
Beste Rose, ik wil je allereerst welkom terug heten je verhalen zijn echt gemist! Dit artikel over La Dolce Eleganza is een prachtige herinnering aan waarom mode zoveel meer kan zijn dan het gewoon aantrekken van kleding. Wat mij bijzonder aanspreekt is jouw beschrijving van de Max Mara coltrui: de zachte kasjmier, de precisie van elke steek, en het gevoel van echte luxe dat je omhult zoals een favoriet jasje. Ik heb zelf een Max Mara kasjmier sjaal die ik al bijna twintig jaar koester en die nog steeds perfect zacht aanvoelt, dus ik snap precies wat jij bedoelt met die kwaliteit die niet slijt maar beter wordt met de tijd. Ik ben ook heel benieuwd of je de Ferragamo broek vaak draagt op meer informele dagen, want die slanke snit met die licht elastische stof klinkt als het perfecte stuk voor een lange dag in de stad. Dank je wel voor dit warme en persoonlijke modedagboek!
Cara Rose, il tuo ritorno al blog con questa storia è stato come ritrovare un’amica che si era fatta attendere! Quello che apprezzo di più del tuo approccio alla moda è che non parli mai di tendenze effimere ma sempre di qualità duratura, di storie di marchi con radici profonde e di capi che acquistano significato nel tempo. La giacca in shearling di Ferragamo è davvero un pezzo straordinario, ma ciò che mi ha colpita di più è la tua descrizione delle scarpe Dolce & Gabbana con il print leopardato quella “piccola ribellione” contro l’eleganza convenzionale è un concetto che condivido pienamente, perché credo che anche la moda più sofisticata abbia bisogno di un tocco di carattere e imprevedibilità. Io ho un paio di décolletés di D&G con dettagli in pizzo che tengo gelosamente per le occasioni speciali e che mi fanno sentire esattamente quella sensazione barocca e mediterranea che descrivi. Come abbineresti la giacca shearling per un evento serale più formale, mantenendo quella leggerezza e quel senso di lusso non ostentato?
Liebe Rose, ich freue mich so sehr über Ihre Rückkehr! Ihre Beschreibung der Ferragamo-Shearling-Jacke hat mich sofort in ihren Bann gezogen besonders die Stelle, wo Sie erzählen, dass sie von zufälligen Passanten auf der Straße auf die Schönheit der Jacke angesprochen wurden, weil das zeigt, wie ein wirklich herausragendes Kleidungsstück eine unmittelbare Wirkung auf andere Menschen haben kann. Ich kenne dieses Gefühl gut: Ich habe vor Jahren eine Hermès Plissée-Seidentuch in einem Pariser Kaufhaus gekauft, und seitdem ich es trage, bekomme ich regelmäßig Komplimente von Fremden auf der Straße. Die Überlegung, die Jacke mit einem schlichten schwarzen Kleid und Perlen für halbformelle Abendanlässe zu kombinieren, finde ich sehr elegant das erinnert an die große Ära des italienischen Kinos, als Eleganz noch etwas Selbstverständliches war. Könnten Sie in einem zukünftigen Beitrag vielleicht auf die Pflege hochwertiger Shearling-Kleidungsstücke eingehen, da ich selbst eine ähnliche Jacke besitze und mir nie ganz sicher bin, wie ich sie am besten aufbewahren soll?
Rose, your meditation on wearing fashion as “an act of gratitude to the body and spirit” is something that genuinely moved me it is such a generous and life-affirming way to think about getting dressed every morning. The Bvlgari necklace you are wearing catches my eye every time I look at these photographs because Bvlgari jewellery has that particular combination of Roman grandeur and Mediterranean colour that feels completely different from French or Swiss fine jewellery, and it pairs so unexpectedly well with the clean black of the Ferragamo ensemble. I am curious is the necklace from their iconic Serpenti collection, or from one of their other lines? I have been considering a Bvlgari piece as my next jewellery investment and would love to hear your thoughts on which collection works best for everyday wear rather than purely formal occasions. Your post has reminded me that investing in a few truly exceptional pieces from houses with real heritage is always more rewarding than accumulating many lesser things.
Cara Rose, questo post è una vera lezione di stile e di storia della moda! La tua descrizione del DNA di Ferragamo quella connessione con le colline toscane, la passione artigianale trasmessa di generazione in generazione, la combinazione di innovazione e tradizione che Salvatore Ferragamo ha incarnato fin dall’apertura del suo primo negozio a Firenze nel 1927 è esattamente il tipo di contesto culturale che rende un capo molto più di un semplice indumento. Mi ha particolarmente colpito il modo in cui descrivi i pantaloni neri di Ferragamo come “l’epitome di un potere sottile” è una frase che cattura perfettamente quella sensazione di sicurezza tranquilla che danno i capi di vera qualità. Da uomo che lavora nel settore della moda, posso confermare che Max Mara è un marchio che anche i professionisti del settore guardano con grande rispetto per la coerenza e l’integrità del suo messaggio creativo fin dal 1951. Grazie per questo articolo così ricco e appassionato, è il tipo di lettura che fa venire voglia di aprire l’armadio e riscoprire i propri pezzi del cuore!
Chère Rose, ce que j’aime le plus dans vos récits c’est que vous parlez de mode avec la même profondeur émotionnelle qu’on réserve habituellement à la littérature ou à la musique. Le fait de nommer votre vision “La Dolce Eleganza” et de l’ancrer dans la philosophie de Fellini sur la beauté de la vie est une façon absolument originale d’introduire une histoire sur des vêtements. Les pantalons Ferragamo noirs que vous portez illustrent parfaitement ce que vous décrivez cette capacité de la marque à créer des pièces qui restent élégantes dans absolument tous les contextes, qu’on les associe à des escarpins de soirée ou à des mocassins décontractés. Je possède personnellement un sac Hermès Constance en cuir Epsom qui est l’un de mes biens les plus précieux, et je ressens exactement ce que vous décrivez sur le fait de porter un objet qui représente des décennies de tradition artisanale. Avez-vous d’autres Hermès dans votre collection au-delà de ce splendide Birkin 35 en crocodile?
Liebe Rose, als jemand, der seiner Frau regelmäßig bei der Auswahl von Luxuskleidung hilft, lese ich Ihren Blog schon seit Monaten als eine der zuverlässigsten Quellen für fundierte Mode-Informationen. Die Geschichte hinter dem Dolce & Gabbana Leopardenmuster von der ersten Kollektion “Le Eolie” 1992 bis hin zu einem echten Markenzeichen des Hauses ist etwas, das ich nicht wusste und das ich sofort mit meiner Frau geteilt habe, die eine leidenschaftliche Sammlerin von D&G-Schuhen ist. Was mich an diesem Outfit besonders beeindruckt ist die Konsequenz der Farbpalette: das tiefe Schwarz der Ferragamo-Stücke bildet eine perfekte Leinwand für das Leopardenmuster der Schuhe, die Bvlgari-Kette und die natürliche Patina des Hermès Birkin in Krokoleder. Glauben Sie, dass der All-Black-Look mit einem einzigen gemusterten Accessoire generell der eleganteste Weg ist, Prints in ein formelles Outfit zu integrieren?
Querida Rose, tu regreso al blog con esta historia de moda tan elaborada y personal ha sido una auténtica alegría para todas las que seguimos tus aventuras de estilo. Lo que más me ha llegado es esa reflexión final sobre cómo las marcas como Ferragamo, Max Mara, Hermès y Dolce & Gabbana son “puentes entre generaciones” es una idea tan verdadera y tan bonita que debería estar enmarcada. Yo llevo años invirtiendo en piezas de Max Mara y puedo confirmar que el cachemira de su dolcevita tiene esa cualidad particular de mantenerse suave e impecable lavado tras lavado, lo que lo hace muy diferente de otras marcas que también trabajan con fibras nobles. Me fascina también la historia de cómo el bolso Birkin nació de un encuentro casual entre Jane Birkin y el director de Hermès en 1984 es uno de esos momentos en la historia de la moda que parece inventado pero que es completamente real. ¡Bienvenida de nuevo, Rose, tu voz única en el mundo de la moda nos ha hecho mucha falta!
Rose, I want to thank you specifically for the way you frame aging and fashion in this post not as something to fight against, but as an accumulation of stories, taste and knowledge that makes every outfit more meaningful. The image you paint of yourself at 67 walking the streets to photograph this Ferragamo look, receiving spontaneous compliments from passers-by on that extraordinary shearling jacket, is a scene I can picture vividly and it makes me look forward to my own future in fashion rather than dreading it. I also deeply appreciate the historical grounding you give each brand: knowing that Max Mara founder Achille Maramotti launched the house in 1951 with the belief that clothes should emphasize a woman’s character rather than dictate fashion gives the cashmere turtleneck you are wearing an entirely different weight and meaning. The combination of that pale cashmere under the black shearling creates a warmth in the visual composition that feels almost cinematic it reminds me of those early 1960s Italian films where elegance was something lived, not performed. Keep writing these beautiful stories, Rose, because the fashion world needs more voices like yours.
