AIDA BARNI: The Noble Cashmere is Timeless and Unmistakable Fashion Choice…

Fashion Outfit Post 3 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion story on the Mr.M blog! Autumn is my favorite period of the year, when we are able to dress in “layers” and when we can take out our favorite knitted pieces from our wardrobes that keep us warm during the lower autumn temperatures.

I started today’s adventure with old friends, I’m sure you remember the Aida Barni brand, synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian cashmere. Last Fall – Winter season, we enjoyed the beauties of pastel colors, while this year I decided to paint the cold autumn days with bright colors.

Soft, light and warm cashmere items are also a good investment and practical gift during the fall-winter. When you give someone a cashmere sweater, it is a gift from the heart, because a cashmere sweater carries a certain symbolism with it.

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines, Annapurna and Aida Barni.

Annapurna uses all the latest production techniques available on the market, from cotton looms to the latest and most advanced knitwear machines of all sizes. The current production capacity is about 120,000 pieces per year. It is important to note that the entire production cycle is performed in Italy, more precisely in the factory of the company located in the city of Prato, which is also the center of the province of the same name located in the heart of Italy – Tuscany.

“Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Annapurna is a name that evokes everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous.

Aida Barni is an iconic and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market.

The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Customers of the Aida Barni brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

The sweater you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni collection, a combination of white and green and is made of pure cashmere. Refreshing color for the new season!

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in multi-brand stores and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and love because you are giving a piece in which love and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day is woven.

For all Aida Barni fans in Germany, I have discovered two men’s spots where you can find and enjoy in the beauty of Aida Barni incredible knitwear: Braun Hamburg and Mientus retail stores.

If you want to stay tuned and find out all the news that Aida Barni is preparing for us this fashion season, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

All the people who have been following my blog for years know that I have a great love for Burberry trench-coats and coats, I honestly don’t even know how many of their pieces I own anymore, but I know that this is the first time in several years that I have encountered a suede coat again. This leather coat is an interesting piece, easy to fit, but also very sensitive and may be “difficult” to maintain. Suede leather is a delicate material, aesthetically very pleasant eye catching and fashionable, but sometimes not practical. The only mitigating circumstance with this suede leather coat is the dark color, so the stains are not as visible as on light colors and this leather is exceptional and one of the softest.

Burberry trenchcoats and coats represent the pinnacle of world fashion and have become indispensable fashion classics today. These coats were created by the founder of the Burberry company, Thomas Burberry, more than 100 years ago, inspired by the British heritage, and at the same time introduced elements of urban fashion.

You can find all classic Burberry coats in 5 basic models: Legendary Kensington, Westminster, Chelsea, Waterloo and Pimlico. All models are named after London districts. What is the difference between these models?

The Kensington – a classic model with a modern cut that easily adapts to any silhouette. The most popular model, which is available in four basic colors: gray, navy, honey color (camel) and black. Also, this model is made in two lengths. The coat you see on me today is this model.

The Westminster – a model that is extended (oversized) and lightly cut for a draped silhouette. Basic colors: honey color (camel) and dark green (khaki). Also, this model is made in two lengths.

The Chelsea – a model characterized by a slim fit (narrow form close to the body) with narrow shoulders and a cut waist. The basic colors are honey and taupe and it is also available in two lengths.

The Waterloo – A more comfortable fit, a longer model than the classic with a subtle and relaxed fit that is ideal for layering. This model is usually made in three basic colors: maroon, black and honey-camel and is available in only one length.

The Pimlico, a simple flat cut decorated with a single-row fastening of a minimalistic character and a modern cut. This model is usually made in navy, biscuit (biscuit color) and honey color – camel. This model is also only available in one classic length.

I would like to note that all the listed colors are only classics that are always produced, but the Burberry company introduces seasonal colors to enrich its offer.

Most Burberry coats have been hand-crafted in Castleford, Yorkshire for over 50 years from gabardine – a revolutionary fabric that Thomas Burberry proudly introduced in 1879. Polished, light and practical, beautiful cotton resistant to all kinds of weather conditions that remains at the heart of the Burberry brand to this day.

The classic coat model originated and developed from the basic form of the Tielocken coat, which was patented in 1912 by Thomas Burberry. A simple but refined unique shape that has been adapted over the years and has become a recognizable Burberry coat.

Each Burberry coat is special and has its own story – one that is made to last and write new pages of life’s chapters together with you. Trench-coats and coats are an investment that pays off, it is a gift for generations to come. Believe me, I know this from my own experience, because before my blogging career, I inherited my first Burberry coat from my grandfather’s wardrobe, and to this day I happily keep it and wear it on special occasions.

The leather coat that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is special because it is made of the highest quality and finest suede leather, which is specially thinned for this model. This Kensington model in a gentle dark color is specific because it is made as a fall-winter version and the lining is made of calfskin to prevent sweating and you will have a cooling sensation during the summer, and on the other hand during the winter the calfskin keeps the heat, but it is important to be dressed in layers. Because of all this, the leather treatment had to be different and the skin of the coat’s face is significantly thinner than that of classic leather Burberry coats.

I am honored that I got this exceptional opportunity to walk through Istanbul, this priceless fashion piece from the new collection for which I tried my best to convey the beauty of this gentle dark blue – navy color to you with these pictures.

We are moving from the British fashion scene to the Italian one, where we are once again meeting with a brand you know, which you had the opportunity to meet this winter season on the Mr.M blog. The Italian brand we’re meeting again today is Marco Pescarolo, a brand from Naples that combines traditional classic Italian tailoring style with modern casual elegance. Naples is known as a colourful, lively, exciting and diverse city, indeed one of the most fascinating cities in Italy. This is where we begin our today’s story about the Marco Pescarolo brand.

Marco Pescarolo is a brand that nurtures the Neapolitan spirit where warm, vivid tones balanced by sophisticated and sharp cuts create a different sense of fashion. The essence of Neapolitan traditional lifestyle and elegance meets contemporary casual style, resulting in a new concept of beauty. Marco Pescarolo is a unique brand that is loyal to its roots and through its brand symbol – Masca Pulcinella this brand wants to pay respect to Neapolitan culture and history, which is the key to the brand’s vision. The symbol of the Marco Pescarolo brand is a mask that belongs to the ancient figure of Pulcinella, a representation of the Neapolitan way of life.

The Marco Pescarolo man is one who successfully combines casual and business wear, as well as formal and informal wear, to exude positive energy and poise in any context, regardless of the circumstances. Marco Pescarolo is a brand that is constantly improving and as a result of one of the many researches is the line System: a new generation of fabrics, in which the exceptional qualities of natural fibers are emphasized and improved with special treatments.

I am sure that there are no people reading the Mr.M blog now who are not familiar with the brand that we will be hanging out with again today in the heart of the Caribbean – Aida Barni, a timeless brand of exquisite knitwear that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons. This is the first time I have come across Aida Barni summer pieces and I must say I am delighted.

Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last winter we enjoyed the beauty of bright and unusual colors, while this spring I decided to continue in cheerful and unusual tones. Soft, light and warm items made of cashmere are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter period. When you give someone a cashmere sweater as a gift, it is a gift from the heart because a cashmere sweater carries with it a certain symbolism. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, or maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will put a smile on your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous. “Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

The T-Shirt you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni Spring – Summer 2023 collection, in a iconic beige color and made of the highest quality cotton with a special treatment so that you have a cooling sensation on the skin while wearing it. A wonderful neutral must have color for the new spring season!

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.

If you want to be updated and find out all the news that Aida Barni is preparing for us this fashion season, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Loro Piana is an Italian company specialised in clothing and textile products. This fashion house is considered the largest producer of cashmere and also the world’s largest artisanal company processing the luxury fiber.

The Loro Piana company has three divisions (textile divisions): a division that deals with the production of high-quality materials using precious fibers such as cashmere and baby cashmere, vicuna, linen and merino wool, a division that deals with the creation of luxury fashion items (production and distribution of men’s, women’s clothing, footwear and fashion accessories) and the interior design department – production and distribution of interior design products.

Originally from Trivero, the Loro Piana family started their family business in the wool trade at the beginning of the 19th century. In the second half of this century, the family moved its activities to Valsesia and founded the Fratelli Lora e Compagnia woolen mill, and then the Zignone & C. woolen mill in Quarona at the beginning of the 20th century. Engineer and founder of the Loro Piana brand, Mr. Pietro Loro Piana founded the company Loro Piana & C. in Quarona in 1924. Soon this company will celebrate its jubilee 100th anniversary of its existence and it will be an extraordinary celebration of the “first fashion century” of this extraordinary fashion house, which I am immensely looking forward to!

Mr. Franco Loro Piana (grandson of Mr. Pietro Loro Piana), after taking over the leadership of the company in the 1960s, started exporting high quality fabrics to Europe, America and Japan. He significantly expanded the markets in which Loro Piana began its new business ventures.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the beige linen summer trousers from the latest men’s Loro Piana Spring-Summer 2023 collection, which is just a small part of my favorites this season because of its distinctive elegance and my love for neutral colors. Crafted from the finest linen, these beige trousers are perfect for the man who pays attention to detail and leaves nothing to chance. These beige trousers are perfect for all occasions and can be easily combined with other colors.

If you want to stay updated and find out which pieces the Loro Piana brand has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

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.

In today’s post I will present you one of the Hobo Sport models. This model of Fratelli Rossetti shoes represents a unique development in line with the success of the Hobo spirit, so classic and elegant, while also possessing a certain amount of relaxed everyday sports spirit. The Hobo Sport has a fresh and unobtrusive look that makes it one of the most loved models of the Fratelli Rossetti brand.

This model of Hobo Sport moccasins that you can see on me in today’s post is made of soft, finely finished suede leather. This fashion shoe can also be worn without laces thanks to the practical internal elastic band. Rubber sole with custom tread and removable insole. When you buy this model, you also get laces in case you want to give this model a more classic look.

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Aida Barni, Italian Refinement on the Shores of the Persian Gulf

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad you like my take on fashion and that I’ve inspired many women in their golden ages (50+) to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives. My story today will be dedicated to a famous Italian knitwear brand, which I’m sure you’re familiar with because you’ve seen it in my son’s fashion stories.

Since I had the opportunity to see for myself the quality and design of the sweater that the Aida Barni brand team gave to my son, their proposal for cooperation surprised me, but also made me happy because they recognized my vision. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, and I was made happy by the pieces from the new Aida Barni collection for Spring – Summer 2023. Today I present to you this unusual long elegant white dress, which is ideal for all occasions because of it’s beautiful and special knitted work.

I love the sea and sometimes I like to swim and sunbathe, but there is one activity that I am extremely fond of – walking on the beach while the sea washes over the sandy beach. That feeling when I walk barefoot on the beach brings me back to some carefree days of my youth and whenever I go to the sea I like to be alone and enjoy morning walks on the beach. That’s why today I decided to share with you my idyllic moments of peace and tranquility, but with style!

Aida Barni is a brand belonging to the Annapurna Group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and global manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines for women and men under the names Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna uses only the latest production techniques available on the market, from cashmere looms to the latest and most advanced machines for making knitwear of all sizes. The current production capacity is about 120,000 pieces per year.

It is important to note that the entire production cycle is carried out in Italy, more precisely in the company’s factory located in the city of Prato, which is also the center of the district of the same name located in the very heart of Italy (the central part of Italy). “Made in Italy” is more than a manufacturing concept, but this brand has proven that it is much more than the perfect cashmere sweater on the store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression that is remembered.

Aida Barni’s concept of women’s “sporty elegance” is simple and stylish, but rich in materials and subtle details that make this brand iconic because it represents the expression of uniqueness and special class. You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-stocked stores throughout Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it’s more than respect and pure love, because you’re giving a piece that is woven with a love of tradition and a deep respect for art that isn’t given every day.

The dress you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni SS23 collection, crystal white color and made of the finest material. An iconic color for the new summer season, which you really need to have in your wardrobe!

If you want to stay updated and find out what new things Aida Barni has in store for us this fashion season, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Today I decided to re-combine an unusual and striking fashion detail – a fiery red Magenta bag from the new Fratelli Rossetti spring-summer 2023 collection that can change your view of the fashion world. Fratelli Rossetti leather goods and footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all times!

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.

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 business story, but a family story: the founder, Renzo Rossetti, and his wife, Lisetta, were dedicated to their work all their lives. The company Fratelli Rossetti 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: back in 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 and men has timeless classic iconic models that you can find all year in their offer, some of the women’s models are: Brera, Magenta, Estate and Hobo Sport.

In today’s post I present you one of the iconic Magenta handbags from the latest SS23 collection. A handbag is a special fashion detail that adorns every woman, that’s why I decided to combine this beautiful red Fratelli Rossetti red handbag from the Magenta line with my outfits this summer, which is made of soft smooth leather. The bag has a magnetic closure featuring the iconic Fratelli Rossetti gold-colored metal buckles. You can also carry this bag over your shoulder, that way the bag will get a look of sporty elegance. The main compartment of the bag is equipped with a small inner pocket with a zipper and a small pocket on the outer back.

If you want to stay updated and find out which models of shoes and accessories the Fratelli Rossetti brand has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Jewelry is perhaps the most important fashion detail that can say a lot about the woman who wears it. Today I will present to you a special cameo jewelry of an Italian brand that is famous in the world – CAMEO ITALIANO. What exactly is Cameo jewelry? A cameo is a material that is carved in raised relief, often depicting a profile of a face, a still life, or some special mythical scene. Cameos, hard or precious stones carved in relief, or imitations of such stones in glass and mollusk shells. Cameos are usually a gem (usually agate, onyx, or sardonyx) that has two layers of different colors, with figures carved in one layer so that they are raised against the background of the other. Cameo is the converse of intaglio, which consists of an incised, or sunken, engraving in the same class of material.

The history of this material goes back to the early Sumerian period (around 3100 BC) to the fall of the Roman civilization, from the Renaissance and from the Neoclassical period in the 18th century. Greek cameos, made of colored quartz, were purely decorative (as opposed to intaglios, which were used as seals) and reached a high artistic level. In contrast, Roman cameos, mostly made of sardonyx, onyx and glass paste, were usually carved with portraits and mythological scenes and were often signed by the artists. Due to the increased interest in classical civilization, the art of cameo engraving was perfected again in the Renaissance.

Cameos were used to mark personalities, as in ancient times. In England during the 16th century, cameos were made with the head of Queen Elizabeth to celebrate the victory over the Spanish Armada. In the 18th and 19th centuries, cameos adorned jewelry such as diadems, belts, brooches, and bracelets.

The history of the CAMEO ITALIANO brand begins in 1957 when Mr. Michele Di Luca opens the doors of his jewelry atelier. Thanks to his ability and creativity as one of the most talented master engravers, he realized his dream – to bring the uniqueness of the cameo shell to the international stage. Michele Di Luca’s great passion for creativity not only earned him a gold medal for his contribution to the economic development of the Campania region, but also inspired his children Gino, Anna, Pina and Marinella to join the company in 1980. In 2012, Gino Di Luca launched the brand that launched cameo as a contemporary gem: CAMEO ITALIANO.

Each cameo is a small, unique and unrepeatable masterpiece, precious thanks to the artisanal approach to production. CAMEO ITALIANO is part of a tradition that preserves techniques that have been passed down for more than two centuries in Torre del Greco, the only place in the world where shell cameos are engraved. A gem that symbolizes the values and authenticity of the “Made in Italy”.

After many years of experience and passion, the engravers of the CAMEO ITALIANO house were awarded the title of Master Engravers. In this type of art, the viewer is seduced by the love that the artist skillfully imprints into his detailed creation, a process that makes it unique, unrepeatable and therefore beautiful. In the rich offer of CAMEO ITALIANO jewelry you can find necklaces, pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings and watches. CAMEO ITALIANO jewelry is divided into several collections, which I will present to you in detail in the following posts.

In today’s post I present you the earrings, necklace and watch that are part of the CAMEO ITALIANO collection.

The “Partenope” watch that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is a special watch with a design engraved by hand on the shell and 925 sterling silver, cameo size 30mm. The watch is adorned by a dark blue – navy bracelet.

I chose this unusual set because it irresistibly associates me with my name and I love seeing rose motifs on clothes or jewelry. I am fascinated by the beauty of this jewelry, that’s why I want to invite all those who want to know more about the Italian brand of jewelry and watches CAMEO ITALIANO and discover what the Di Luca family has prepared for the new season, visit their official online store and follow them on social media channels Facebook and Instagram.

Of course, the piece that every stylish woman needs and that helps you “hide” from the world when you need a break – glasses! My favorite model of Panthère de Cartier sunglasses, it’s always in my bag during the summer because when you get to a certain age you don’t want to think about wrinkles around your eyes any more.

During my stay in the capital of Qatar – Doha, I had the opportunity to get to know the Qatari culture, heritage and tradition, and in addition, I attended the opening of the first store in the State of Qatar. Fratelli Rossetti celebrates its seventieth birthday with the expansion of its retail stores in Italy and abroad, celebrating the year 2023 with the opening of its first boutique in Doha in the most famous Mall of Qatar, a new store that proves a significant presence in the Arab markets in addition to the store in the United Arab Emirates in the Dubai Mall.

I would like to thank the Fratelli Rossetti team for the warm invitation to attend the opening of the first boutique in Qatar, as well as the wonderful gifts that marked my spring wardrobe. As part of this event, I had the chance to see for myself the art of handwork and the beauty of hand-knitted leather.

I hope you enjoyed my fashion story today. Soon I will show you other outfits from Qatar that can serve as inspiration for the new summer season. See you in a few days at the same place, with some new interesting story.

Best Regards,

Rose

ALLEMANO: An Indomitable Spirit of Adventure captured in a refined Timepiece

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, I sincerely hope you are well and ready for new fashion stories from Qatar! I believe you will find these stories interesting and more unusual than my previous adventures and you may notice some similarities with Jordan’s fashion stories, but I am sure you will love them as much as all the previous ones! In today’s fashion story, we are again hanging out with an unusual brand from Italy that produces time meters – Misuratori del Tempo.

Allemano timepieces are crafted to border on modern and innovative design with strict respect for tradition and the consistency of the “Made in Italy” feature. These unusual watches are made in Turin. Allemano is an Italian company from Turin with over 150 years of experience in the production of measuring instruments such as manometers, thermometers and dynamometers. With the exception of the Swiss movements, Allemano Misuratori del Tempo are entirely made in Italy.

If by any chance you missed reading all the travelogues from Qatar or you want to remind yourself of some interesting things, take the opportunity to visit the following links:

  2. The Souq Waqif and Cruise: Relax and experience the oriental spirit of Doha

  2. Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Fratelli Rossetti, the grand opening of first store in Doha
  3. Mr.M in Doha: An Iconic Combination of Elegance and Refinement…
  4. Aurélien: Smart Luxury in the Heart of the Middle East…
  5. Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Aida Barni, Italian Elegance is priceless…
  6. AIDA BARNI: Summer Color Refreshment on the Coast of the Persian Gulf…

At the very beginning of this fashion story, I would like to thank Visit Qatar for the kind invitation and hospitality. With their help, the fashion stories that you had the opportunity to read during April and May were created, and we will continue during the month of June, and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy them.

Founded in 1856 as a manufacturer of measuring instruments for the automotive and mechanical industries, the company is now reawakened. At the beginning of 2019, Allemano presented its first wristwatch collection. This was inspired by the Allemano pressure gauges installed a hundred years earlier, in 1919 on the legendary Fiat 501 Torpedo and later on many Lancia, Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo models.

Today, all watches are still made with the same sense of professionalism and tradition as more than 150 years ago. Allemano watch models from 1919 Collections meet different aesthetic and technical requirements: MAN is perfect for leisure, GMT is the best choice for travelers, while DAY has the right characteristics to be essential in everyday life, while GRANDE TORINO is a special limited edition modified DAY model made on the occasion of the celebration of the famous Grande Torino.

All three models reflect Allemano’s historic legacy of knowledge and experience. In accordance with the tradition of every measuring instrument produced by Allemano, the Misuratori del Tempo models are accompanied by a certificate which, together with the serial number, not only testifies to their ownership and origin, but is also a guarantee of quality and craftsmanship.

The watch you have the opportunity to see in today’s fashion story is the MAN model from the famous Allemano collection in 1919. The MAN watch model is a status symbol and has a special story. It is the best choice for quality leisure time and the model that best symbolizes the origins of the Allemano brand. From the tradition of manometers to the Misuratori del Tempo for men, this watch is perfect for the man who breaks free from time. This watch has a Swiss manual movement, sapphire crystal, water resistant to a depth of 50 m, made of stainless steel 316L.

The case diameter is 44 mm, made of the highest quality 316L stainless steel with a sandblasted, brushed, polished finish. The watch is water resistant to a depth of 50 meters. The case is coated with sapphire crystal on the front and back. The clock mechanism is a Swiss-made manual movement and has the following functions: central hour hand, retrograde minute hand at 12 o’clock, small seconds hand at 6 o’clock. You can choose the dial in two colors, antique white or black with the serial number. The hands can be a combination of matte black and red or matte rose gold and red, depending on which dial color you choose. There are two bracelet colors, brown or black both are crafted from soft premium Italian leather with a steel clasp with an additional butterfly clasp matching the case finish.

I am sure that there are no people reading the Mr.M blog now who are not familiar with the brand that we will be hanging out with again today in the heart of the Middle East – Aida Barni, a timeless brand of exquisite knitwear that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons. This is the first time I have come across Aida Barni summer pieces and I must say I am delighted.

Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last winter we enjoyed the beauty of bright and unusual colors, while this spring I decided to continue in cheerful and unusual tones. Soft, light and warm items made of cashmere are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter period. When you give someone a cashmere sweater as a gift, it is a gift from the heart because a cashmere sweater carries with it a certain symbolism. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, or maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will put a smile on your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous. “Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is an imaginative and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market. The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Fans of the Aida Barney brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

The T-Shirt you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni Spring – Summer 2023 collection, in a iconic beige color and made of the highest quality cotton with a special treatment so that you have a cooling sensation on the skin while wearing it. A wonderful neutral must have color for the new spring season!

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.

Today, we meet again with an interesting family brand of luxury watches and jewelry, Schroeder Joailliers. This is a story of dedication and love for one’s work that counts over 140 years of knowledge and passion. The story of Schroeder’s jewelry begins in 1860, when Lambert Schroeder left his hometown of Luxembourg to continue his apprenticeship in London and the United States of America.

Returning to Luxembourg in 1877, he opened his goldsmith’s shop in exactly the same place where today’s Maison Schroeder is located. As an extremely skilled and pioneering retailer, passionate about quality and an ambitious innovator, he inspired the core values of today’s jewelry industry.

His only son, Ferdy Schroeder, learned the engraving trade in Paris and took over the company with the difficult task of running it through two wars. His great mastery of his art earned him the prestigious title of Purveyor of the Court, which Maison Schroeder proudly carries to this day. Later, in 1979, Pierre Rossy, Lambert Schroeder’s nephew and current director, joined the company. Under his leadership, Schroeder jewelry expanded internationally by deploying agents and participating in various exhibitions on five continents.

Today, not only his wife, but also his daughters Anni and Sophie joined him in the Luxembourg jewelry house. This fifth generation maintains the family tradition, which combines traditional knowledge and creativity.

Schroeder Joailliers has found a gem in the Swiss Jura: a workshop capable of producing highly sophisticated and refined movements decorated with the Cotes de Geneve, a hallmark of quality craftsmanship. These high precision watches are presented under the Schroeder Timepieces brand. Available in both men’s and women’s models, there are also pocket watches, in short, all of them are a pleasure to wear every day and for every occasion.

During the next period on the Mr.M blog I will show you some of their timeless watch models, as well as some novelties from the new collections. In today’s story I will share with you my impressions of the “L’Intégrale” Watch Collection. “L’Intégrale” presents a new collection with a so-called integrated watch strap, and comes with a guilloché dial inspired by the trees of the Swiss Jura. The collection is available in a version with a Swiss quartz movement or in the high-quality Sellita SW-200 self-winding movement.

This watch is model A60998 AA01 from the Schroeder Timepieces “L’Intégrale” collection, it is made of the highest quality steel, with a blue guilloché dial and indexes as well as Arabic numerals, a date display at 6 o’clock, with a Swiss quartz movement and mounted on an integrated navy bracelet with with a folding clasp.

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Aida Barni, Italian Elegance is priceless…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad you like my take on fashion and that I’ve inspired many women in their best ages to change their minds and bring some new colors into their lives. My story today will be dedicated to a famous Italian knitwear brand, which I’m sure you’re familiar with because you’ve seen it in my son’s fashion stories.

Since I had the opportunity to see for myself the quality and design of the sweater that the Aida Barni brand team provide to my son, their proposal for collaboration surprised me, but also made me happy because they recognized my vision. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new and I was made happy by the pieces from the new Aida Barni collection for Spring – Summer 2023. Today I present to you this unusual elegant ivory dress, which is ideal for all occasions.

Aida Barni is a brand belonging to the Annapurna Group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and global manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines for women and men under the names Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna uses only the latest production techniques available on the market, from cashmere looms to the latest and most advanced machines for making knitwear of all sizes. The current production capacity is about 120,000 pieces per year.

It is important to note that the entire production cycle is carried out in Italy, more precisely in the company’s factory located in the city of Prato, which is also the center of the district of the same name located in the very heart of Italy (the central part of Italy). “Made in Italy” is more than a manufacturing concept, but this brand has proven that it is much more than the perfect cashmere sweater on the store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression that is remembered.

Aida Barni’s concept of women’s “sporty elegance” is simple and stylish, but rich in materials and subtle details that make this brand iconic because it represents the expression of uniqueness and special class. You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-stocked stores throughout Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it’s more than respect and pure love, because you’re giving a piece that is woven with a love of tradition and a deep respect for art that isn’t given every day.

The dress you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni SS23 collection, gentle ivory color and made of the finest material. An iconic neutral color for the new spring season, which you really need to have in your wardrobe!

If you want to stay updated and find out what new things Aida Barni has in store for us this fashion season, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Like every woman, I have a great love for jewelry and during this trip to Qatar I wore my new Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928 pearl earrings with marquise silver, which perfectly complemented my outfit today.

The Filevi family is a family that has been producing Ohrid pearls since 1928, which is confirmed by historical facts and numerous institutions. The secret of making Ohrid pearls is still one of the most closely guarded secrets of this family, which combines pearls into creative pearl necklaces and bracelets, and has been passed down from generation to generation for the fourth generation. When we talk about pearl, we always think of the pearl that is in the shell, but the Ohrid pearl is much more than that and has a more specific way of production. It is extremely important to note that there are only two families in Ohrid who know the secret of making the famous Ohrid pearl.

The Ohrid pearl is not found in the shell, but is made by taking the brightest (inner) part of the shell, processing it well and obtaining the desired shape – a grain of mother-of-pearl. Another process of grain processing is coating the already obtained mother-of-pearl grain with an emulsion obtained from the scales of the Ohrid fish – Alburnus scoranza. Today, several new models of Ohrid pearl necklaces appeared, which accentuated certain events such as weddings, celebrations and visits, girlfriend proposals and many others.

The Filevi family – Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928 offers a rich collection of unique handmade jewelry. A large selection of different colors of cultured natural pearls allows you to choose the ideal piece of jewelry for your sensibility. Each creation is characterized by an individual approach to conception and design. They are made in different lengths according to the customer’s wishes. Their jewelry is for people who want to be different, with a unique fashion style.

Pearl earrings that complete my outfit are Pearl earrings with Marcasite sterling silver. You can find the rich Filevi 1928 collection of Ohrid pearls and jewelry with classic, marquise and rhodium silver in the center of Belgrade (Serbia), at Knez Mihailova 29, in the passage next to the Progress Gallery.

Also if you are going to the heart of North Macedonia – Ohrid and visiting the capital Skopje, take the opportunity to visit their stores.

The making of Filevi 1928 jewelry is a real art and each handcrafted piece of Filevi jewelry has, above all, a special sentimental value. Passion for jewelry and love for fine craftsmanship is reflected in every single piece of Filevi 1928 jewelry. All you have to do is imagine and wish for an Ohrid pearl, and Filevi 1928 is here to create and realize your wishes and ideas together with you.

If you want to know more about Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928 brand and discover the world of Ohrid pearls, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Fratelli Rossetti, the Spirit of Italian Elegance in the Capital of Qatar…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I want to thank you for your wonderful words and numerous compliments on my work. I’m really glad you like my take on fashion and that I’ve inspired many women in their golden ages (50+) to change their minds and bring color into their lives. My story today will be dedicated to loafers because it is a fashion detail that is timeless, but sometimes the target of criticism due to the iconic design of the shoes. Some of my friends think that a woman puts on moccasins the moment she gives up her femininity, luckily that’s not true and I’ll do my best to break this crazy fashion illusion for you today.

Loafers (Moccasins) are a great shoe model for both genders and you can emphasize your femininity. These shoes are not necessarily designed for men, it is true that men may have worn this model of shoe more often throughout history, but luckily times have changed. People think that women who wear suits have somehow given up their femininity? It’s also one of those fashion assumptions that gives me a slight chill, but I’m comforted by the fact that women have become braver and more aware of their choices. Young girls today are not afraid to boldly show their choices whereas in my time when I was a girl it was strictly an unwritten rule that a real girl or woman had to wear a dress or a skirt at all since trousers were a piece of clothing that was exclusively reserved for showing off masculinity in men.

It was the same for shoes, women’s High-heeled shoes or ballet flats were worn, until loafers were a symbol of masculinity that might be forgiven for older women better known by the derogatory name “old biddy”, since it was considered that they were no longer women, but had long since lost their femininity… Fortunately, social norms changed over time, so “old biddies” got their chance to rejuvenate.

Yes, I am a woman and I proudly wear trousers and loafers in the 21st century and I am proud of those facts and I try to inspire other women of their golden ages to live their lives the way they want to. When you turn fifty, society considers that you have fulfilled your role as a mother and that it is time to realize yourself in the role of a grandmother, so you can peacefully go to the heaven and leave your descendants to enjoy… All this is beautiful, everyone should have their own life and it is natural that life goes on in its natural course, but it is necessary to change the rhythm of life with some new “exciting song”. This is something I like to point out to women because life doesn’t stop after 50s or 60s, my dear ladies life goes on and so should you!

Today I decided to show you an unusual and colorful fashion detail – Brera loafers from the special limited Spring – Summer collection of Fratelli Rossetti that can change your view of the world. Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes iconic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all generations!

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.

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 business story, but a family story: the founder, Renzo Rossetti, and his wife, Lisetta, were dedicated to their work all their lives. The company Fratelli Rossetti 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: back in 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 and men has timeless classic iconic models that you can find all year in their offer, some of the women’s models are: Brera, Magenta, Estate and Hobo Sport.

In today’s post I present you one of the iconic Brera models from limited Spring – Summer collection. How did this model get its name? Brera is the “art district” of Milan, where in the 60s sculptors, painters and writers tried to leave their mark, with new languages ​​and new forms. Its liberal and open atmosphere inspired the creation of the “Brera”, the fringed moccasin, a style revolution just beginning to rediscover its love of life. Like an artistic composition, Brera combines different materials and colors. This special mix of materials and shapes makes the moccasin one of the most successful chapters in Fratelli Rossetti’s history.

This model of Brera summer moccasins that you can see on me in today’s fashion story is made of leather and satin with leather details and a special embroidery that is found throughout the shoe. This model is the result of special high-quality Italian craftsmanship. These shoes have a leather sole.

A handbag is a special fashion detail that adorns every woman, that’s why I decided to combine this beautiful red Fratelli Rossetti red handbag from the Magenta line with my outfits this summer, which is made of soft smooth leather. The bag has a magnetic closure featuring the iconic Fratelli Rossetti gold-colored metal buckles. You can also carry this bag over your shoulder, that way the bag will get a look of sporty elegance. The main compartment of the bag is equipped with a small inner pocket with a zipper and a small pocket on the outer back.

Today I’m showing you a timeless brand of exquisite knitwear that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few seasons because of my son’s clothing pieces. Since I had the opportunity to see for myself the quality and design of the sweater that Aida Barni provided to my son, their proposal for cooperation surprised me, but also made me happy because they recognized my vision. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, and I was made happy by the pieces from the new Aida Barni collection for Spring – Summer 2023. Today I present to you this unusual elegant blouse with the Aida Barni logo that can be worn on more different ways.

Aida Barni is a brand belonging to the Annapurna Group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and global manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines for women and men under the names Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna uses only the latest production techniques available on the market, from cashmere looms to the latest and most advanced machines for making knitwear of all sizes.

Jewelry is perhaps the most important fashion detail that can say a lot about the woman who wears it. Today I will present to you a special cameo jewelry of an Italian brand that is famous in the world – CAMEO ITALIANO. What exactly is Cameo jewelry? A cameo is a material that is carved in raised relief, often depicting a profile of a face, a still life, or some special mythical scene. Cameos, hard or precious stones carved in relief, or imitations of such stones in glass and mollusk shells. Cameos are usually a gem (usually agate, onyx, or sardonyx) that has two layers of different colors, with figures carved in one layer so that they are raised against the background of the other. Cameo is the converse of intaglio, which consists of an incised, or sunken, engraving in the same class of material.

The history of this material goes back to the early Sumerian period (around 3100 BC) to the fall of the Roman civilization, from the Renaissance and from the Neoclassical period in the 18th century. Greek cameos, made of colored quartz, were purely decorative (as opposed to intaglios, which were used as seals) and reached a high artistic level. In contrast, Roman cameos, mostly made of sardonyx, onyx and glass paste, were usually carved with portraits and mythological scenes and were often signed by the artists. Due to the increased interest in classical civilization, the art of cameo engraving was perfected again in the Renaissance.

Cameos were used to mark personalities, as in ancient times. In England during the 16th century, cameos were made with the head of Queen Elizabeth to celebrate the victory over the Spanish Armada. In the 18th and 19th centuries, cameos adorned jewelry such as diadems, belts, brooches, and bracelets.

The history of the CAMEO ITALIANO brand begins in 1957 when Mr. Michele Di Luca opens the doors of his jewelry atelier. Thanks to his ability and creativity as one of the most talented master engravers, he realized his dream – to bring the uniqueness of the cameo shell to the international stage. Michele Di Luca’s great passion for creativity not only earned him a gold medal for his contribution to the economic development of the Campania region, but also inspired his children Gino, Anna, Pina and Marinella to join the company in 1980. In 2012, Gino Di Luca launched the brand that launched cameo as a contemporary gem: CAMEO ITALIANO.

Each cameo is a small, unique and unrepeatable masterpiece, precious thanks to the artisanal approach to production. CAMEO ITALIANO is part of a tradition that preserves techniques that have been passed down for more than two centuries in Torre del Greco, the only place in the world where shell cameos are engraved. A gem that symbolizes the values and authenticity of the “Made in Italy”.

After many years of experience and passion, the engravers of the CAMEO ITALIANO house were awarded the title of Master Engravers. In this type of art, the viewer is seduced by the love that the artist skillfully imprints into his detailed creation, a process that makes it unique, unrepeatable and therefore beautiful. In the rich offer of CAMEO ITALIANO jewelry you can find necklaces, pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings and watches. CAMEO ITALIANO jewelry is divided into several collections, which I will present to you in detail in the following posts.

In today’s post I present you the earrings that are part of the CAMEO ITALIANO collection.

This time I decided to complete my outfit with FOR ART’S SAKE sunglasses. There is no person who has not resisted a model of sunglasses from this famous British brand, the glasses of this brand are loved by the whole planet because of their refined elegance and unusual design. Glasses from today’s fashion story are an iconic model with a metal gold frame, oversized glasses that are an unusual shade that varies between blue and lilac.

During my stay in the capital of Qatar – Doha, I had the opportunity to get to know the Qatari culture, heritage and tradition, and in addition, I attended the opening of the first Fratelli Rossetti store in the State of Qatar. Fratelli Rossetti celebrates its 70th birthday with the expansion of its retail stores in Italy and abroad, celebrating the year 2023 with the opening of its first boutique in Doha in the most famous Mall of Qatar, a new store that proves a significant presence in the Arab markets in addition to the store in the United Arab Emirates in the Dubai Mall.

I would like to thank the Fratelli Rossetti team for the kind invitation to attend the opening of the first boutique in Qatar, as well as the wonderful gifts that marked my spring wardrobe. As part of this event, I had the chance to see for myself the art of handwork and the beauty of hand woven leather master pieces of art.

I hope you enjoyed my fashion story today. Soon I will show you other outfits from Qatar that can serve as inspiration for the new spring season. See you in a few days at the same place, with some new interesting story.

Best Regards from Doha,

Rose

Schroeder Joailliers: The Story of a Small Family-owned Luxury Watch Brand from Luxembourg…

Fashion Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. Today’s fashion story will be dedicated to a fashion detail that is important for every man – a watch. Today, wristwatches have become both a status symbol and a symbol of prestige. Both genders have some cute little obsessions of their own, on the one hand women are known as passionate collectors of fashion pieces such as shoes, coats, fur coats, bags and other luxury goods, while men are known as true collectors of wristwatches. Today, there is no global fashion house that does not include watches in its offer. In addition to them, there are special specialized watch and jewelry brands that are exclusively engaged in making watches. Many consider watches to be a good investment, it’s just important to watch your obsession and respect some boundaries.

Today, after a long time, we meet again with an interesting family brand of luxury watches and jewelry, Schroeder Joailliers. This is a story of dedication and love for one’s work that counts over 140 years of knowledge and passion. The story of Schroeder’s jewelry begins in 1860, when Lambert Schroeder left his hometown of Luxembourg to continue his apprenticeship in London and the United States of America.

Returning to Luxembourg in 1877, he opened his goldsmith’s shop in exactly the same place where today’s Maison Schroeder is located. As an extremely skilled and pioneering retailer, passionate about quality and an ambitious innovator, he inspired the core values of today’s jewelry industry.

His only son, Ferdy Schroeder, learned the engraving trade in Paris and took over the company with the difficult task of running it through two wars. His great mastery of his art earned him the prestigious title of Purveyor of the Court, which Maison Schroeder proudly carries to this day. Later, in 1979, Pierre Rossy, Lambert Schroeder’s nephew and current director, joined the company. Under his leadership, Schroeder jewelry expanded internationally by deploying agents and participating in various exhibitions on five continents.

Today, not only his wife, but also his daughters Anni and Sophie joined him in the Luxembourg jewelry house. This fifth generation maintains the family tradition, which combines traditional knowledge and creativity.

Schroeder Joailliers has found a gem in the Swiss Jura: a workshop capable of producing highly sophisticated and refined movements decorated with the Cotes de Geneve, a hallmark of quality craftsmanship. These high precision watches are presented under the Schroeder Timepieces brand. Available in both men’s and women’s models, there are also pocket watches, in short, all of them are a pleasure to wear every day and for every occasion.

During the next period on the Mr.M blog I will show you some of their timeless watch models, as well as some novelties from the new collections. In today’s story I will share with you my impressions of the “L’Intégrale” Watch Collection. “L’Intégrale” presents a new collection with a so-called integrated watch strap, and comes with a guilloché dial inspired by the trees of the Swiss Jura. The collection is available in a version with a Swiss quartz movement or in the high-quality Sellita SW-200 self-winding movement.

This watch is model A60998 AA01 from the Schroeder Timepieces “L’Intégrale” collection, it is made of the highest quality steel, with a blue guilloché dial and indexes as well as Arabic numerals, a date display at 6 o’clock, with a Swiss quartz movement and mounted on an integrated navy bracelet with with a folding clasp.

Spring may be well underway, but the weather is still wintry, so I took the opportunity to wear my new TATRAS jacket again. TATRAS is a new and unique brand that combines functionality and polished aesthetics.

How was the idea for this unique fashion brand born? TATRAS was created 16 years ago, more precisely in 2007, when the history of this brand began to be written with the hope that this will be one great entrepreneurial dream. In just 16 years of existence, the Tatras brand has found its place on the international market in the production of top quality jackets, developing a perfect synergy between products, communication and distribution. In the early years, TATRAS first established brand awareness in its native Japan by positioning itself in the country’s top department stores. The next step was to start internationalizing the brand by opening a showroom in Milan to optimize distribution in Italy, USA, Korea and around the world.

The TATRAS creative team is exclusively guided by the following goals when creating each new collection: Each jacket must be functional, each product must have elements of polished aesthetics and each product must be unique – “One and only”. People who wear TATRAS clothing successfully illustrate the perfect combination of sophistication and innovation for modern cosmopolitan living. TATRAS is proof that hard work pays off. The brand is developing and strengthening in new markets every day, while it has achieved great success in Europe, the USA and the Far East, as well as in Italy and Japan.

The first TATRAS store, characterized by a contemporary and essential style, opened in October 2014 in a refined, elegant exterior in the prestigious area of Tokyo Aoyama in Japan, where the most famous fashion houses are located. At the end of February 2018, TATRAS opened its first flagship store in the West in the heart of Europe, choosing Milan as the first showcase on the European market. The space, located within the fashion district of Via Spiga 3, features the brand’s Japanese minimalism in a Western translation, with a completely international result that is always among the main characteristics of the brand.

TATRAS is the right brand for all those fashion lovers who are looking for practicality and minimalist elegance, where the brand’s meticulous attention to detail. The brand constantly continues to raise its quality and identity over the years. Reflecting the ever-changing society, TATRAS continuously pushes its boundaries as a brand that celebrates the diversity and inclusiveness of this modern world. Exploring the DNA of the brand, TATRAS enjoys collaborating with other creatives in the art world. Experimenting with the synergy of creative minds, the brand enriches its spirit through these collaborations.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see the TATRAS jacket model BENE in white, which was specially made as part of a special monogram collection that was made in honor of the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the TATRAS brand. In addition to white, this jacket model is also available in black. In a special limited edition monogram collection, you can find TATRAS famous jacket models updated with the TATRAS monogram pattern, inspired by urban cityscapes.

The jacket you can see has a two-way zip fastening, all the details are silver color, elastic cuffs and a hood that can be removed if needed, if you want to wear the jacket without the hood and change its look. One of the sleeves features the brand’s logo, while the jacket is made of nylon jacquard material, which makes the jacket waterproof.

Today, we’re meeting out again with a timeless brand of exceptional knitwear that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last winter we enjoyed the beauty of bright and unusual colors, while this spring I decided to continue in cheerful and unusual tones. Soft, light and warm items made of cashmere are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter period. When you give someone a cashmere sweater as a gift, it is a gift from the heart because a cashmere sweater carries with it a certain symbolism. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, or maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will put a smile on your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous. “Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is an imaginative and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market. The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Fans of the Aida Barney brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.

Aida Barni: Iconic Elegance of Cashmere for All Generations…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a last fashion adventure this February! Since I unexpectedly received a large number of your messages and emails regarding one of the previous fashion stories with the Moncler iconic leather black jacket, most of you wanted to see how this jacket would go with some stylish classic trousers. You liked how black looked on me and it gave me a little encouragement to create for my new fashion story for you.

Let’s recall some interesting facts about the brand of this exceptional leather jacket that you will see again today on the Mr.M blog. Moncler is one of the most famous French-Italian luxury fashion houses specializing in ready-to-wear clothing, based in Milan. This fashion story begins as a jacket boutique, after which Moncler expanded to design vests, raincoats, windbreakers, knitwear, leather goods, shoes, perfumes and accompanying fashion accessories. The brand’s core symbol includes a rooster, the monogram “M”, a badge with felt appliqués, crossed skis and a cartoon duck mascot.

This famous Italian brand of winter clothing, which became famous for its unusual warm and modern winter jackets, last year celebrated its 70th birthday in a special way – a special anniversary with a unique campaign “Forever Extraordinary” – Extraordinary Forever. In honor of this special jubilee, fashion house Moncler organized special exhibitions and fashion shows where special limited collections were shown that lasted 70 days. On this occasion, the famous Moncler Maya jacket model has been given a new look and has been redesigned in several new ways as a tribute to this legendary model that Moncler has become known for. The jackets were designed by seven world designers such as Thom Brown, Rick Owens, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Giambattista Valli, Francesco Ragazzi and Pharrell Williams.

Fashion house Moncler has achieved worldwide success that continues to this day, and fashion experts believe that this is due to true respect for its own beginnings and improvement of archival models and active participation in the progress of the community through numerous projects.

In today’s post, for the second time, we are meeting with the legendary Moncler Maya jacket made of the finest black leather. The jacket has an extraordinary amount of elegance, although I had the feeling when I saw it in the catalog that it was a sports jacket. My guess is that this model of the legendary sports winter jacket in the leather version is quite different and has a touch of elegance and refinement, which I proved in today’s fashion story.

Today’s post title contains the name of a brand that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons, so today we’re meeting again with a timeless brand of exceptional knitwear. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian cashmere processing. Last winter we enjoyed the beauties of with bright and unusual colors, while this year I decided to stay iconic and elegant with basic and neutral colors.

Soft, light and warm cashmere items are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter. When you give someone a cashmere sweater, it is a gift from the heart, because a cashmere sweater carries a certain symbolism with it. Also, sometimes you need to surprise yourself with something new and refresh your life, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, and maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will bring a smile to your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous.

“Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is an imaginative and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market. The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Fans of the Aida Barney brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.
