My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new summer fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog this season. It is a great honor and pleasure for me to have been able to inspire women in their prime to change their perspective on life and introduce novelty into their everyday life through my vision of fashion. Today I will try my best to present you some new fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe.

This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring. Honestly, I did not expect my writing to experience such success and I am immensely grateful for your wonderful messages, as well as your selfless support.

We start today’s fashion adventure with old well-known friends of Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had a chance to get know more about their shoes and leather goods in my fashion stories from Qatar last year.

What is the story of this brand? In the middle of the 20th century, more precisely in 1945, Mr. Renzo Rossetti started his story from scratch, where he worked alone to cut leather for several types of sports shoes. His shoes were sold at the famous Brigatti store in Milan, one of the few remaining stores of its kind in the city. After a few years, Fratelli Rossetti saw success, but, wanting to develop further, they transferred the brands and equipment for this special production to Atala Sport in Padua.

So they decided to start their story again from the beginning and decided to switch to the production of classic shoes. Those were the years between 1952 and 1957, which witnessed the orientation and acquisition of new skills in the creation of women’s ballet flats and elegant, simple men’s footwear characterized by extremely flexible and high-quality workmanship. All this led to the creation of a small collection of men’s shoes with contours that differed from the various styles sold at the time. Renzo Rossetti consequently engaged in work that demonstrated his aesthetic sense and artistic perfectionism.

The story of the Fratelli Rossetti company is an inspiring story of a successful Italian family business that opened its doors in 1953. This is not just an ordinary company story, but a family story: the founder, Renzo Rossetti, and his wife, Lisetta, were dedicated to their work all their lives. The Fratelli Rossetti company is currently run by the second generation of the Rossetti family, the brothers Diego, Dario and Luca, who, due to their different roles and by developing their own different skills, have successfully brought their company to its 60th anniversary, always in search of quality and united by their passion with strict respect for tradition.

Fratelli Rossetti has a long tradition of “big little innovations”. In this company, tradition and quality have always gone hand in hand with insatiable curiosity and commitment to innovation. From the introduction of tassels and the invention of shoes designed to be worn without socks, to stylistic innovations and the launch of the “masculine” style, to the application of colors in unique chromatic shades. It was Renzo Rossetti who emphasized the importance of embracing new materials, styles and shapes: as early as the 60s, he was already experimenting with different color combinations on leather. Today, the company continues its research and development activities thanks to the knowledge of its craftsmen and the creative spirit of the styling department.

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for women has timeless classic lines that you can find in their offer, some of the models are: Hobo Sport, Magenta, Hobo, Brera, Green Side.

In today’s post, I present to you two exceptional pieces from the latest Fratelli Rossetti SS24 collection, which are rose gold woven slippers and a bucket bag. These sophisticated, exclusive rose gold braided soft leather slippers are crafted from thin strips of leather, which are expertly stitched along the upper, creating a Hobo flower in the toe area. These shoes have a comfortable and soft leather sole.

In addition to these unusual slippers, my outfit today is also adorned with the famous Fratelli Rossetti bucket bag, which is the trademark of this Italian house of luxury leather goods and shoes. This bucket bag with an unusual combination of colors like milk, soft pink and rose gold makes every outfit special, chic and versatile at the same time. Crafted from soft leather with a nappa effect, the bag can be worn in multiple ways with a removable handle and shoulder strap. This is a real ladies handbag, dimensions: height 25 cm, length 24 cm and width 15 cm.

We are moving from the Italian fashion scene to the French one and I am sure that many of you have at least one of their creations in your wardrobe – IKKS

IKKS is a French ready-to-wear brand founded in 1987 by Gérard Le Goff in La Seguiniere. The brand was part of the Kidiliz Group for several years before being sold to the White Knight LBO France fund in July 2015. It is one of the first French players in the ready-to-wear medium and high-end range with wide distribution.

How did the IKKS brand get its name? Gérard Le Goff originally wanted to call his mark “X”. As this name was transferred to clothing originally intended for children, the designer chose the name IKKS, which is actually pronounced “X”.

IKKS is undertaking a sincere process of transformation, a comprehensive transformation, which will be applied to every aspect of the company, retaining the strength anchored in their DNA and improving the weaknesses that are observed today. They engage in a resilience approach because IKKS Group management believes that everyone has their share of responsibility. Sometimes it is also difficult because you have to be able to make firm decisions even if their implementation is not easy. But it’s never too late to question yourself and try to do things right. One of their key initiatives is the decision to stop using one of the biggest scourges in the textile industry: virgin polyester.

A transformation has begun to achieve this ambitious goal by 2025. The IKKS teams are sure that it will be difficult, but they are also sure that this decision will have a big impact on their company and that they will have to make certain compromises, but they feel that it is their moral duty and responsibility to show everyone that it is possible. IKKS wants to change without leaving their DNA, without claiming to be something they really aren’t. Making choices means doing nothing more, and that’s something the IKKS team won’t hesitate to do in the coming months and years.

The responsibility of IKKS concerns the entire ecosystem which consists of: People, the core of their business. That is why IKKS works hand in hand with its partners, suppliers and employees. Traceability, a major issue today, to secure their processes and control their supply chains to guarantee product quality. Their materials are becoming more and more ethical. Their skills, expertise and their integrated operational excellence, especially through their partners. IKKS has obligations for the land, the sea and the environment as a whole, to do something sincere and lasting for the planet.

Their “IKKS works better” program is focused on five priorities: Reduce carbon emissions, Develop more ethical materials to reduce their impact on the environment; Guaranteeing social standards throughout the IKKS supply chain; all information about IKKS products is transparent and available to everyone and the reduction of plastic.

What sets IKKS apart from other brands on the market is the excellence of the unique skills that form the heart of the “IKKS works better” approach. Seamstresses, pattern makers, design office, style studio, quality control, CSR teams: IKKS has all the expertise in conceiving and designing the collections in-house in Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges and Paris. It’s local expertise, highlighted every day by a team of passionate people. 

As quality goes with things that last, the IKKS teams are dedicated to the task of guaranteeing that customers around the world have desirable and durable products. A team of 22 people based in Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges is fully dedicated to prototyping IKKS models, developing more than 2,500 prototypes per year. This phase, which is very important in the creation of IKKS collections, guarantees the quality of the clothes and that they fit well.

My outfit today is made up of a pink IKKS dress, which I can say is one of the more interesting colors I’ve had the chance to wear this season. I have not worn this color many times in my life, I was pleasantly surprised how this color can really refresh a woman in her prime to look even younger and fresher.

The jewelry I wear always has a special story and that’s why I like to wear it. I received these earrings almost 45 years ago from my late mother-in-law after marrying my husband. These earrings belonged to her grandmother, then to her mother, and through a combination of life circumstances these earrings found their way to me. When I wear them I always think of my late mother-in-law who was an extremely brave, strong and wise woman. These earrings have no particular material value, but for me they have an incredibly high sentimental value because I received them from a woman who inspired me in the most important period of my life.

Before today’s photo shoot, I felt nervous and nervous because of the high temperatures and Marko was helping me choose jewelry and he found these earrings in the jewelry box with the question: “Mom, what do you think about these earrings for today’s post?”. When I saw them, the feeling of nervousness disappeared because I was overwhelmed by the feeling of self-confidence because I received these earrings as a gift from a lineage of very strong and self-confident women.

I hope you enjoyed my fashion story today. Soon I will show you other summer outfits that can serve as inspiration for this fashion season. See you in a few days at the same place, with some new interesting story. I will try not to take long breaks and I hope you understand the reason for my unexpected absence, but there will be time to catch up and I am sure I will meet your expectations.

Special note: All my photos from today’s post have been specially edited to meet the expectations of blog partners, as well as the readers themselves while respecting the aesthetics and guidelines of fashion photography. Unfortunately, the face and neck lifting operations did not go well and due to the negligence of the medical team from Egypt, I suffered serious aesthetic and health consequences. In agreement with my legal team, I wrote a post with all the details that can be found on this LINK.

Best Regards,

Rose

Dear Mrs. Rose, you have shown in this season on the Mr.M blog what human willpower means and what it can do when a person is self-confident. You have survived everything and Dr. Samir Ghoraba has done terrible things to you, but you have again found a way to stay in touch with your audience and for that I really admire you. I have a mom your age and I can only imagine how hard it would be for me and her, but you have shown extraordinary human strength.

The dress is divine! The color is simply refreshing! IKKS is known as an affordable brand, but when I looked at the pictures I thought the dress was from a much more expensive designer because it just looks so expensive on you! All compliments on your new look, really fantastic!

Fratelli Rossetti is my favorite brand and I love their shoes, bags and leather jackets! I saw these slippers this season on their website and I was wondering how they really look in nature, but after your pictures I was simply delighted. I will have to look for my number of these slippers, simply this is a must have piece for every summer season because of the iconic rose gold color.

Liebe Rose, ich hoffe, es geht dir gut! Du siehst fantastisch aus und dein Outfit gefällt mir heute wirklich gut! Die Schuhe und die Tasche sind einfach wunderschön und ich würde Sie gerne fragen, ob die Tasche groß genug ist, um alle Dinge unterzubringen, die eine Frau tagsüber braucht? Ich frage nur, ob sich die Form der Tasche nicht verformt, ob ich vielleicht noch etwas mehr hineinstecke. Ich liebe die Eimerform von Taschen und diese Farbkombination hat mir wirklich gut gefallen!
