AIDA BARNI: Discover the Refinement of Luxury Italian Knitwear…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I started today’s fashion adventure with old friends, I’m sure you remember the brand Aida Barni, which is synonymous with the perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last season we enjoyed the beauty of bright colors, while this year I decided to refresh cold winter days with pastel colors. In today’s fashion story I will share with you an unusual knitwear piece from their new winter collection!

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 turtleneck sweater with zipper with 2 front pockets you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni FW23 collection, a wonderful shades of taupe and white colors and is made of pure cashmere. Refreshing colors 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.

My dear fashionistas and travelers, welcome to another fashion story on the Mr.M blog in 2024! Winter is my favorite time of the year, when we are able to dress in “layers”, but if you travel in winter it can cause “bittersweet” when packing the things you need to take on the trip. As a person who travels often, it is very important for me to have quality and durable luggage, which will also be elegant and stylish.

AIDA BARNI: Feel the Finest Cashmere from the Heart of Italy…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first fashion story on the Mr.M blog in 2024! Winter is my favorite period of the year, when we are able to dress in “layers” and when we can take out our favorite knitwear pieces from our wardrobes that keep us warm during the lower winter temperatures.

I started today’s fashion adventure with old friends, I’m sure you remember the brand Aida Barni, which is synonymous with the perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last season we enjoyed the beauty of bright colors, while this year I decided to paint cold winter days with some warm pastel 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 turtleneck sweater with zipper you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni FW23 collection, a wonderful camel color 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, honestly I don’t even know how many of their fashion pieces I own anymore, but I know that this is my one of the favorite colors that I always like to wear – the color of tobacco. Soft pastel golden tobacco color that blends very easily with other colors.

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. Buying a Burberry trench or coat is an investment, it is a fashion piece that can really be worn nicely and for a long time with proper maintenance and it is a thing you can leave for generations to come. I inherited my first Burberry coat from my grandfather and today I keep it carefully and wear it on special occasions because it has a special sentimental value for me.

When the time comes to buy a Burberry trench, it’s a big deal and especially if you are buying a coat for the first time it is very important to buy a “iconic” piece that you can combine with your items from your wardrobe and it is best to buy a coat in your favorite color, without blindly following trends.

The trench coat or a coat are pieces that are worn over other pieces of clothing, so it is best to look at your favorite pieces of clothing and shoes before buying and judge for yourself which are the two or three colors that might come into consideration when buying a coat. The color of tobacco is a neutral color and blends with other colors with great ease, but each of us knows our wardrobe best and you may find the ideal solution since buying a Burberry coat is a real investment.

In today’s blog post you have the opportunity to see a classic model of the Kensington coat made of the finest cashmere in the color of tobacco, which in my honest opinion is one of the most beautiful colors and the easiest to match with other pieces of clothing from your wardrobe.

Did we fit in nicely at the end? Honestly, I believe we are. After so many years of loyalty to this British brand and because of my personal interest, I have learned a lot about their offer and I am lucky to always be able to show my favorite pieces from the fashion house Burberry on my blog.

When your ordering the gloves with ADG Team, it is necessary to specify the main shade of the glove when choosing a color, and in the notes to add information about another shade to make a two-color version, as I did.

Otherwise, simply specify your preferred one favorite color when ordering monocolor pair of gloves.

The pictures for today’s fashion story were created in the very heart of Havana, in the main square, where I tried to convey the energy of this distant exotic country with bright colors. Today, on the Mr.M blog, we are once again hanging out with a famous Italian brand, Loro Piana, and I present to you my favorite piece from their summer collection. The pants that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post are a model that can always be found in every Loro Piana collection, only some new color palettes are introduced in accordance with fashion trends. This season white, the famous navy color is in the spotlight and I tried to combine them with my favorite Aida Barni Polo T-shirt, which you had the opportunity to see in one of the previous fashion stories from Qatar this year.

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 white 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 a combination of silk and viscose, these white trousers are perfect for the man who pays attention to detail and leaves nothing to chance. These crystal white trousers are perfect for all occasions and can be easily combined with other colors.

I’m sure that there are no people reading the Mr.M blog now who are not familiar with the brand that we will be meeting 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 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 Polo T-Shirt you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni Spring – Summer 2023 collection, in a refreshing red 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 refreshing 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.

Tod’s is one of the few brands on the fashion scene that has remained true to its roots and for generations all brands from the Tod’s group strive to preserve an elegant and refined fashion direction while maintaining exceptional quality and modernizing the design to obtain a unique result – a modern elegant classic.

Tod’s as a brand has always stood out for its quality leather and models that come from artisan workshops.

Today, the Tod’s brand represents the pinnacle of Italian fashion and, in addition to footwear, produces clothing, knitwear and fashion accessories that have found their place in the hearts of people throughout Europe and the world.

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. 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 blouse you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni SS23 collection, crystal white color and made of the finest cotton. An iconic refreshing color for the new spring season!

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

PUNTO: Impeccable Sporty Elegance and Relaxed Refinement of Fur…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

Dear fashionistas, I sincerely hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure. Today we continue our fashion story about the most famous Turkish fur and leather brand that you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous fashion stories on the Mr.M blog – PUNTO.

As you know fur is an important part of every winter collection, as you could see in my Mrs. Mom’s fashion stories. Last year, I introduced you to an extremely important FURMARK project that marks a turning point in the world of the fur fashion industry. The International Fur Federation has developed a formal certification and traceability process, Furmark®. Fur is one of the most sustainable natural materials in the world of fashion. The use of organic materials is a complete contrast and rejection of fast and “plastic” fashion, which are typical petroleum derivatives. Fur is the true epitome of slow fashion, treated as an heirloom purchase that can last for generations.

Developed in consultation with conscientious consumers and modern fashion groups and brands, the Furmark® symbol is a sign of guaranteed quality and trust. In order for consumers, retailers and brands to have complete security and confidence when buying fur, Furmark® combines independently verified certification programs within one system. Obtaining a certificate means that the international, national or regional program has met Furmark® global standards.

First, I would like to summarize some of the basic benefits of Furmark certified products:

1. Furmark® is a global certification and traceability system for natural fur that guarantees animal welfare and respect for all environmental standards.

2. Furmark® is simple with recognizable characteristics of quality, safety, and confidence that is of utmost importance to all members of the supply chain and customers.

3. Furmark® programs for animal protection and environmental protection are scientifically based, third-party certified and transparent.

4. Furmark® products are traceable, verified and guaranteed meet all necessary recognized standards.

5. Furmark® is the result of the joint efforts of fur industry members, brand representatives and consumers.

The Furmark® certification system was developed by the International Fur Federation (IFF) with associated members, who are eminent representatives of luxury brands, all of which work with natural fur as part of the supply chain.

There are three key principles on which this certification is based: science, independent inspection and transparency.

Furmark® is a comprehensive global certification and monitoring system for the natural fur production chain that guarantees animal welfare and compliance with all existing environmental standards. The Furmark certification system includes only wild and farmed natural fur from leading animal protection programs (including the first animal welfare program introduced based on data from the European Commission on self-regulation and co-regulatory initiatives). For more additional information on Furmark Global Certification and Natural Fur Chain Tracking System, you can read my special post at the following link.

In today’s post, I will continue my fashion story about the most famous Turkish fur and leather brand PUNTO, which is at the very top of the fashion industry. PUNTO is a well-known Turkish brand founded in 1994 as a manufacturer of clothing and fashion accessories made of leather and fur. Punto is today a leader in its sector both in Turkey and on the world market.

Over the past years, Punto Group has risen to an eminent position in the luxury fashion industry. Through unique collections, this unusual Turkish fashion house always tries to follow all the current world trends, as well as to set new tasks for entering new avant-garde fashion territories. As a global brand, fashion house PUNTO strives to attract the attention of customers with its appreciation for luxury items and unconditional attention to product presentation. In the Punto Group, the main goal is to offer exceptionally high-quality products, top selling locations and authentic prices. One thing is certain, all PUNTO products meet these important and highly valued customer requirements.

PUNTO has a wide selection of products in its rich offer and this has helped this fashion house to build a strong and stable base of loyal clients. The PUNTO management team believes that it is very important to maintain sincere long-term relationships with customers.

The main and priority task of the PUNTO company is true customer satisfaction. One of the main components for maintaining high satisfaction is the special after-sales service. The service offered by fashion house PUNTO after the product purchase is impeccable and their team is always at the service of their customers, because clients should enjoy an endless variety of luxury service. When you buy your first PUNTO product, you are more than a customer because you become part of the big fashion family of the Punto Group. The fashion house PUNTO tries to maintain these valuable relationships, taking care to know who their clients are at all times and constantly informing them about special benefits and promotions. Members of the Punto family are always invited to special and carefully designed events where new collections are presented and some nice news are announced.

Tailoring is the art of custom styling. The passion of the expert PUNTO team for personalization is also the promise to deliver clothes tailored to your individual needs. This promise starts with choosing the best quality natural fur and leather. Specialists of the fashion house Punto, who provide a special tailoring service, are always at your disposal. The freedom to choose your own style in the Punto atelier and stores is the true definition of luxury and exclusive service. For this unique and unusual experience, you need to visit one of the punto shops.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a jacket made of the finest mink from the latest PUNTO Autumn – Winter 2022/23 collection, soft cappuccino, taupe color, shades between beige and drape, which won my heart at a very first sight. The collar is a classic English high double-sided mink fur, two pockets with a hidden fastener and of course the inevitable zipper closure.

Sustainable fashion is a movement and process of encouraging change in fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion at PUNTO house is about more than addressing fashion textiles or products. It consists of addressing the entire fashion system. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological and financial systems. It also means looking at fashion from the perspective of many stakeholders – users and producers, all living species, current and future inhabitants of the earth. Sustainable fashion therefore belongs to and is the responsibility of citizens, public and private sectors. A key example of the need for systems thinking in fashion is that the benefits of product-level initiatives, such as replacing one type of fiber with a less environmentally damaging option, are being drowned out by increasing the volume of fashion products.

Feel a special shopping experience in several stores in Istanbul as well as in Antalya. Punto Group has always been proud to raise customer satisfaction to the highest level through luxury service tailored to each customer. The PUNTO team has a developed awareness of the importance of quality private shopping service. If you wish, there is a possibility of a VIP free transfer from your hotel to the PUNTO factory shop by private luxury cars with the provision of a unique VIP catering service during your stay in the PUNTO shop.

If you want to stay updated and find out what models of outerwear, clothing and accessories made of leather and fur the Turkish brand PUNTO has in its offer, visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

We are now moving from the Turkish fashion scene to the Italian one, where we are once again meeting again with a brand you know, which you had the opportunity to meet during the past couple of winter seasons on the Mr.M blog. 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 pastel 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.

“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.

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.

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.

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 specializing 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.

Everyone who follows the Mr.M blog knows that I am a big fan of quality and interesting shoes, regardless of whether they are sneakers or elegant shoes, I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as footwear. Today I want to introduce you to a new Italian brand whose footwear models I adore and I am glad to be able to present them to you today on the Mr.M blog.

Zegna is an Italian luxury fashion house. It was founded by Ermenegildo Zegna in 1910 in Trivero, Biella in the Piedmont region of northern Italy.

I got these Zegna sneakers from my dear friends MYTHERESA MEN, the luxury shopping platform. It is a model of My Claudio low-top sneakers made of leather and material details in a combination of brown and black. These shoes are from the spring-summer collection, but because of the palette of brown and black shades, I think they can also fit nicely with warm autumn tones.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of this fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty and splendor of the elegance of the luxury Turkish fur and leather brand PUNTO, the prestigious Italian brand Loro Piana, the beauty of winter with the luxury Italian knitwear brand Aida Barni and the famous Italian fashion house that is a symbol of timeless elegance and has become a real classic – ZEGNA from the luxury shopping platform MYTHERESA MEN, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal winter outfit!

Fashion Diary: Stylish Winter Story made of Refined Shades of Brown…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, today we continue our fashion adventures and I present to you the outfit that you had the opportunity to see in the previous post where we talked about some news in the fur industry. To talk about the future, we need to know how the foundations were laid and how fur has been valued over the centuries. Fur, a natural material that has been loved and appreciated for centuries, from the Stone Age through the Middle Ages until today. From a material used only to keep people warm, over time it has grown into a status symbol and symbol of the aristocracy and nobility. Prominent merchants, esteemed people, and even some prominent members of the royal family were great lovers of fur.

Fur has been valued and respected for centuries, but in recent years things have changed and some new questions are being asked. Has the use of this precious material in the world of fashion come to an end? Is the fur industry really an environmental problem?

Let’s go back in history and see how it really was… In the Stone Age, people wore fur and leather every day as a basic necessity of life. Throughout history, the approach to fur has changed significantly and it has become an inevitable part of the royal family and a sign of wealth.

Marie Antoinette and her spouse Louis XVI experienced great humiliation. The queen has been repeatedly described as frivolous, selfish and immoral because of her lavish lifestyle. However, she was a fashion icon of that time and a large part of her “fashion kingdom” was made of precious fur. Her husband did not lag behind in his passion for fur. Yes, you read that right, men have been big fur lovers throughout history. Louis XVI adored his fur coats and cloaks, and even liked to use fur as additional fashion details on his shoes.

What has changed so far in the attitudes regarding the use of fur in the fashion world in the eyes of the public? Obviously, there are many advantages and disadvantages on this topic, but at least it deserves an open discussion, which never happened because all the doors for natural fur suddenly closed all over the world. Today, some things in the fashion world have changed and fur is back on the big door! We now have new opportunities provided by the International Fur Federation to satisfy both parties, the fur industry and animal friends. Eco fur cannot be compared to natural fur in beauty, quality and durability.

In recent years, the fur industry has been exposed to the challenges of procuring animals in strict compliance with all practices and laws on animal welfare and environmental protection. Long before the proposed law on work in the fur industry, the fur industry itself worked diligently to adhere to the highest standards of animal welfare. Today’s customers demand to know more about what they are buying.

In order to not only combat all the adversity, but also to change the perceptions of wearing fur, the International Fur Federation has developed a formal certification and traceability process, Furmark®. Fur is one of the most sustainable natural products in the world of fashion. The use of organic materials is a complete contrast and rejection of fast and plastic fashion, which are typically oil derivatives. Fur epitomises slow fashion; it is treated as a purchase of heritage and lasts for generations.

The International Fur Federation has 56 members in over 40 countries around the world. The members of the federation are all actors in the fur industry, including farmers, producers, brokers, auction houses, retailers and designers. Each of these members have signed a strict code of conduct that obliges them to comply with laws relevant to the fur industry in their home countries.

The International Fur Federation is an organization founded more than 50 years ago and is the only organization that represents the international fur industry and regulates its practice and trade. The Federation aims to promote the fur business, establish certification and traceability programs for welfare and the environment, as well as support young designers and small traders who intend to develop in the fashion and fur industry.

The Furmark® certification system was developed by the International Fur Federation (IFF) with associate members, who are eminent representatives of luxury brands, all of whom work with natural fur as part of the supply chain. There are three key principles on which this certification is based: science, independent inspection and transparency.

Furmark® is a comprehensive global certification and a system for monitoring the natural fur production chain that guarantees animal welfare and compliance with all environmental standards. The Furmark certification system includes only wild and farmed natural fur on farms from leading animal protection programs (including the first animal welfare program introduced on the basis of the European Commission ‘s data on self – regulation and Co-regulatory initiatives).

If you want to know more information about the Furmark formal process of certification and traceability of natural fur, take your time to read my previous story at the following link.

Due to its unique holistic approach and with great respect for natural resources, the Skandinavik Fur brand rationally consumes fur. With good imagination, vision and skill of the master, they turn all the remnants of fur into beautiful fashion items whenever possible.

Fur as a material in itself is not exclusively intended for women, but it can also be an unusual accessory for men that will refresh the wardrobe of every modern man.

You’ve probably ever wondered what are the reasons for famous men, famous rappers who love chinchilla fur and long fox fur coats. The answer is simple, such furs exude magnificent energy that reflects luxury and style. Mink is the right choice to achieve a more elegant look, and a fur-lined parka or shearling jackets are slightly more conservative options.

The jacket from today’s post, a short jacket with a hood, is made of mink, which is specially painted in three colors. This model is at the same time elegant and urban and has a certain sporty elegance, so it can be worn by people who are oriented to a slightly different sports fashion sense that does not require exclusively elegant notes.

My fur jacket is made of SAGA mink. Sharp lines, comfort and practicality are some of the basic characteristics of this luxury piece. It can be worn with a white shirt, jeans with an interesting leather belt, or you can combine a nice brown-camel nice cashmere sweater with elegant trousers, as I showed in today’s post. The hood is made of mink on both sides and on the top, because it is suitable for a luxury item like this jacket.

Today we are also continuing our fashion adventure with one well-known Swiss watch brand. Certina watches are known for their precision, reliability and sporty character. The sports watch brand has built an international reputation for quality Swiss workmanship, during its long history, which is more than 130 years long.

Certina is a symbol of durability and longevity, which is why the mascot of the turtle armor brand symbolizes robustness and longevity – characteristics that all Certina watches, without exception, carry. Therefore, it is no wonder that turtle armor has been a personal symbol of the brand since the 1960s. To this day, the distinctive outline can still be found on almost every Certina watch, as well as on the brand logo. It evokes the exceptional endurance that characterizes every Certina watch.

Today, after 60 years, Certina DS Jubile adorns my hand. It is an unusual feeling when one such brand with unique watch designs is my new partner in my adventures.

The watch you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is the DS Jubile model, which exists in two versions, the basic one with a steel bracelet and the other with a leather bracelet.

This watch combines precious materials with maximum precision. This elegant men’s watch is equipped with an 18K yellow gold frame. It is powered by an innovative PrecidriveTM quartz movement, whose precision and reliability are confirmed by COSC. The watch has a date display. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and stainless steel case make this watch durable and robust: the watch can withstand water pressures up to 10 ATM. Illuminated hands contrast with the background and thus always provide the best readability. The stainless steel bracelet, which is attached to the wrist together with the button, makes this model from Certina impressive!

The sweater that complemented my outfit today is made of 100% cashmere with a special handmade art that takes hours of work and that is why this sweater is so unique and radiates a special dose of “winter” elegance.

Aida Barni’s 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.

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in renowned department stores and multi-brand stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores.

If you want to be up to date 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.

Since the today’s outfit was in a certain elegant casual tone with the classic trousers and cashmere sweater, I decided to wear my favorite Roberto Cavalli high-top crocodile sneakers. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the dark chocolate brown color went great with the colors that you can find in my wardrobe. Roberto Cavalli is a famous Italian brand that is at the very top of the fashion industry and has conquered the fashion scene.

DRM: Design, Research and Manufacture as the key concepts…

Fashion Outfit Post 7 Comments

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to another new fashion story on the Mr.M blog! I hope you are well and enjoy the winter magic, but I also hope you follow my Instagram summer stories from Sri Lanka as well. As I promised you couple days ago, you will soon have the opportunity to read new travel letters from Sri Lanka and the many adventures that await us in 2022.

In today’s post, I will present you an unusual Italian luxury brand whose work is based on 3 principles, which have been respected since its inception.

DRM is an Italian brand that creates men’s sports luxury clothing. The brand specializes in men’s outerwear and aims to meet the needs of the modern man who takes care of the quality, style and performance of the garments he wears.

Design, research and manufacture are the three key concepts of the brand philosophy, expressed in the acronym that makes up the DRM brand name. Let’s analyze together the meaning of the acronym that makes up the name of this brand:

Design: This brand can be characterized as a brand that nurtures the style of sports elegance and belongs to the group of sports deluxe market segment.

Research: Exceptional performance is required with the use of high quality and high performance fabrics to obtain a product that meets all the needs of comfort and practicality required by the current lifestyle.

Manufacture: Quality is a key and unavoidable item, and special attention is paid to finishing, attention to detail and personalization of products. It is a formula for a timeless, clean product that exudes elegance and minimalism.

The DRM-MAN brand was born in Fucecchio in November 2008 on the idea of Mr. Ferrero Rosati. Mr. Rosati, after founding Santacroce, a leading company in the production of leather goods, later taken over by the Prada Group, decides to embark on a new entrepreneurial adventure that soon becomes one of the most important manufacturing companies in Italy.

In addition to the production of men’s clothing of exceptional quality with undeniable success, there is also a DROMe line of clothing for women who are looking for unusual and quality pieces.

DRM is used only by Tuscan factories to produce products. Their goal is to support and protect the Italian supply chain, unique in the world in quality and workmanship, a concept known worldwide as “Made in Italy”.

All processes are subject to constant control by highly qualified staff to guarantee the highest quality. The most important process in production is testing clothes in order to achieve maximum comfort and exclusive quality. All components and materials used in the production of DRM jackets and coats come from certified Italian companies.

You can find DRM outerwear all over Europe and the world in special multi-brand stores as well as in selected department stores and some online shopping platforms, in Germany the best selection of this incredible Italian brand you can find in BRAUN Hamburg. If you want to be up to date and find out all the news that the DRM brand is preparing for this fashion season, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

The turtleneck that complemented my today’s outfit is made of cashmere with a special handmade work that takes hours of work and that is why this sweater is so unique and radiates a special dose of “winter” elegance.

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.

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.

Of course, as you could see in some previous stories, my old friend that helps me not to be late, while still having one unusual masterpiece on hand, is a wristwatch made by the famous Swiss brand Epos. If by any chance you missed reading an interesting story and history of this company, you can do so by clicking on the link.

There is no person in the world who cannot hide the joy when you feel the smell of the new Italian leather. Today, we are once again hanging out with the Italian family workshop for handmade Restelli gloves, a place where the art, tradition and beauty of handicrafts meet every day, which is the true definition of the Italian style and way of life in general.

Making gloves is not only a job but also a real art. Passion, emotions, tradition and knowledge have been passed on to the third generation after 100 years! Rafaela Restelli has fully accepted the challenges of the new fashion era in which the market and the way of selling have changed with deep respect and belief in tradition and a love for lasting masterpieces!

Restelli gloves are not valued with money, but with a tradition and history full of love and patience that have no price.

OUTFIT

Jacket: DRM

Turtleneck: Aida Barni

Jeans: Jacob Cohen

Watch: Epos Switzerland

Gloves: Restelli

Sneakers: Jacob Cohen

The jeans you have the opportunity to see in today’s post are from the latest Jacob Cohen Autumn – Winter 2021/22 collection. It is a model from the limited series J622. As a person who has problems with wide hips and I rarely find good jeans that fit my silhouette, I had no problem choosing jeans because all Jacob Cohën jeans have a lot of elastin.

Also, since the whole outfit was in a certain casual – sporty tone, I decided to wear my Jacob Cohen sneakers made of pony hair in dark brown color. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this special post where we discovered the beauty of winter shades of brown color together and I hope you got the inspiration for your perfect winter outfit! We will continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog soon! How did you like my outfit today?

I really tried to prepare today’s post for you with a lot of love and I hope you will like it!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new strain of Omicron Coronavirus in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the winter magic, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

If you have been fully vaccinated (2 vaccine doses or 3rd booster dose) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. If you are going to spend the winter in European cities, I would ask you to respect and follow the local laws related to the health care of the local community.

If you have a question, comment, suggestion or message for me, you can write me down in the comments. Of course, as always you can contact me via mail or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT page. See you soon, stay tuned!

With Love,
Mr.M

Aida Barni: Dear Green, I’m Still in Love With You…

Fashion Outfit Post 3 Comments

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new winter fashion story on Mr.M blog! I sincerely hope that you are well and that you are healthy and safe from the current unfavorable health situation with the new strains of the Corona virus. Today’s fashion story will be dedicated to a lime green sweater that radiates exceptional positive energy due to its unusual color.

This unusual cashmere piece was made in Italy in the Annapurna company, which is located in the fairytale town of Prato. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian cashmere processing. Last winter we enjoyed the beauties of pastel colors, while this year I decided to refresh the cold winter days with bright and unusual 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 uses only the latest production techniques available on the market, from cashmere 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 district of the same name located in the heart of Italy (central Italy).

“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.

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.

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.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see an unusual neon lime green sweater made of 100% cashmere. A classic model that has a collar in the form of a zippered turtleneck sweater that is ideal for all occasions, whether it is going to work or casual winter city walk around the city, this sweater is the right choice for every modern man with style. This sweater can be worn with classic pants, as I did in today’s post, or with jeans to get a casual everyday look.

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.

We started today’s fashion story with a sweater story, but I would like to tell you something more about other fashion details that you have the opportunity to see in this outfit post. You had the opportunity to see the jacket this winter season from the new collection of the fashion house Roberto Cavalli, while the trousers are custom-made of the finest wool and cashmere of the Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli.

The shoes that complemented my clothing combination today are Christian Louboutin, which I received from the most famous German online shopping platform Mytheresa. This model is Rantus Orlato made of real python leather from a limited series made in metallic electric blue color.

The bomber jacket fit perfectly with these shoes, just as if it was created by the fashion house Christian Louboutin! If you want to find interesting fashion pieces and special footwear collection you can find it on the Mytheresa online shopping platform where all fashion lovers can find something for themselves!

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this special post where we discovered the beauty and brilliance of unusual lime green shades together and I hope you got inspired for some of your ideal winter clothing combinations! See you soon and continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today?

I really tried to prepare today’s post for you with a lot of love and I hope you will like it!

I advise you to follow to my advice due to the current health situation with the new strain of Omicron Coronavirus in almost all European and countries around the world. If you need to go out into the fresh air, take a walk and clear your mind and enjoy the winter magic, feel free to do so, but do not go to places where there are a lot of people and thus encourage crowds.

If you have been vaccinated (2 doses of any vaccine or an additional third booster dose) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. The winter season is underway and many have decided to spend the winter city breaks in European cities, I would ask you to respect the local laws related to the health care of the local community.

If you have a question, comment, suggestion or message for me, you can write me down in the comments. Of course, as always you can contact me via mail or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT page. See you soon, stay tuned!

With Love,
Mr.M
