Loro Piana: All Shades of Blue will Look Good on You!

Fashion Outfit Post

My dear fashion lovers, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with old friends of the Mr.M blog, one far and wide famous iconic Italian fashion house located at the very top of the fashion scene – Loro Piana.

The outfit that you will have the opportunity to see today was just one of numerous outfits planned for a special trip on Safari in Africa, but due to the unprofessional way of doing business of the Namibia Tourism Board, due to numerous omissions of their employees, the trip was not held because my team was deceived after four months of negotiations and the trip was unfortunately not realised due to business irresponsibility and exceptional unprofessionalism of the team of the Namibia Tourism Board who, even after the warning of my legal team, did not speak up or show any kind of readiness and willingness to find a common solution for the numerous problems they caused to the Mr.M team and our partners after the confirmed collaboration and trip that was supposed to will be held at the end of July – mid-August this year. 

I would like to publicly apologize to all partners of this project who wholeheartedly trusted and gave their selfless contribution and support. After 10 years of a successful blogging and influencer career, this is the first time I have experienced such an unpleasant situation in which I found myself due to deception by the employees of the Nambia tourism organization. I hope you will like the outfit regardless of the current circumstances, I tried to respect all the brands that were part of this project.

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.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the white trousers and baby blue shirt from the latest men’s Loro Piana SS24 collection, which are just a small part of my favorites this season because of its distinctive elegance and my love for neutral colors. Made from a combination of silk, cotton and viscose, these white trousers are perfect for the man who pays attention to details and leaves nothing to chance. These pants are perfect for all occasions and can be easily combined with other colors, and the cut itself is unusual. This outfit was perfectly enriched by Loro Piana’s viscose – baby blue oversized silk shirt, which is simply ideal for the summer period due to its breathability and the incredible feeling of cooling your skin.

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.

We continue today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog that you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous stories. ENVISION is an interesting watch brand that is proof of Italian perfect design and Swiss precision! Envision is an Italian brand born from the vision of its founder and designer Alessandro Bambini in the productive heart of Italy – Modena, whose passion for watchmaking leads to the creation of wristwatches made in Switzerland with highly innovative designs.

ENVISION aims not only to create watches, but also to design wearable works of art that can seamlessly integrate into the rhythm of modern life and evoke emotions even in the brief moment when we look at the time on our wrist. The ENVISION brand originates from Modena, in the productive heart of Italy, the land of elegance and innovation, with the aim of creating unique and stunning timepieces that embody the art and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

In the vast and competitive landscape of watchmaking, creating something truly unique and new is an extremely ambitious challenge. That is why every ENVISION model is the result of many years of study and research. However, that alone is not enough. Offering products with avant-garde lines without ensuring that the quality meets expectations would be a challenge lost from the start. That’s why ENVISION makes sure that every watch it creates meets the high standards they set for their brand, while ensuring timely and attentive customer support.

Today I will introduce you to Prisma, the first creation of the Envision brand that deeply embodies the vision of this exceptional Italian watch brand.

A masterful blend of Italian design and Swiss technology, Prisma represents the pinnacle of watchmaking art. Packed with a Sellita SV200-1 automatic mechanical movement tuned by the Envision team, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, a Prisma Sapphire Blue ​​blue dial with a sunray finish and an integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch is the perfection of luxury in every detail that will grace your wrist. This watch represents an uncompromising choice of style and precision.

The 316L stainless steel case surrounds a high-quality sapphire crystal that features a prismatic cut that captures light beautifully. Each reflection creates a play of light, color and shadow, giving the watch a unique and attractive look.

An expansive dial with a sunburst finish, applied indexes expertly crafted with alternating polished and satin finishes, and glossy dauphin hands all contribute to a unique wrist experience unlike anything we’re used to.

What adorns the Envision Prisma watch model is the innovative integrated bracelet that extends around the case. Each link, crafted with care and dedication, is a continuation of the ends of the case, encompassing the wrist until it reaches the opening clasp that subtly displays the brand’s engraving. Each component, created with care and passion, undergoes rigorous checks by the Envision expert team to ensure quality and durability.

Inside each Prisma’s case beats the Swiss automatic heart, the Sellita movement, which needs no introduction. With 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 A/h set internally by the Envision team, and a power reserve of 38 hours, it ensures Swiss reliability and precision.

In addition to Prisma Sapphire Blue, Envision has 3 more colors in its offer: Prisma Space Gray, Prisma Emerald Green, Prisma Ruby Red. In the following fashion stories, I will also introduce you to the Envision Prisma Sapphire Blue!

I’m sure you want to stay updated and find out what all the models Envision watch brand has prepared us, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

OUTFIT

Silk Shirt: Loro Piana

Watch: ENVISION

Trousers: Loro Piana

Sneakers: BALLY

The Bally brand was founded by Karl Franz Bally and his brother Fritz Bally in the basement of their family home in the town of Schonenverd, Switzerland. Their original products were elastic bands. During a business trip to Paris in 1849, Carl Franz wanted to buy his wife lace-up boots. Unfortunately, he was unable to remember the size his wife was wearing, he decided to buy that model of boots in all available sizes, knowing that one pair would surely be the right one. This is what I call the love!

During a visit to one Paris factory where boots were made, he noticed that each shoe had buttons with elastic bands similar to those produced by his family in Switzerland. Carl Franz got the idea to create something new, so he decided to expand his business to the production of footwear. Together with his brother Fritz, Carl Franz hired designers to help them, and so they started hand-making shoes in the basement of his house.

The Bally company was founded in the basement of one family house in 1851, and only three years later the first factory was built, which was located in the center of the town. Unfortunately, in 1854, Karl’s brother Fritz Bally retired and left this job.

By the 1870s, the Bally brand was already recognized as a leader in the footwear industry. The company name changed to CF Bally and then to CF Bally & Sons when Karl handed over the business to his sons in 1892 and passed away a few years later. The fact is that Karl passed on his tireless creative and visionary pioneering spirit to his sons. Bally as a brand has grown and thrived by opening its stores in Geneva, Buenos Aires, Paris and London.

In the 1980s, Bally was also one of the first European luxury goods brands to open in post-reforms and opening borders to China. The brand has also expanded its range to include clothing, bags and leather goods for men and women. In the 1990s, Bally became a global brand, opening its stores in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Lebanon and Turkey.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see the legendary model of Bally sneakers that I received exactly 4 years ago for my birthday as part of the PR package of the fashion house BALLY. That period was stressful for all of us, especially since the situation was uncertain due to the pandemic that was current at the time, but like everyone else, I always tried to remember only the most beautiful things.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of another summer fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty of elegance and prestige with the luxurious Italian fashion house Loro Piana, as well as the unique combination of Italian design and Swiss precision with the new watch brand ENVISION, as well as the practicality and the simplicity of Swiss fashion with fashion house BALLY, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal summer outfit!

See you soon and continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today? I really tried my best to prepare today’s post with lots of love and I hope you like it!

Schaefer & Companions: Antarctica Solune Grand Art, Wearable Art Landscape of Frozen Waves…

Fashion Outfit Post 9 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog, a new exclusive Swiss watch brand that I’m sure you’ll love at first sight!

Schaefer & Companions (S&C) is a new luxury watch brand founded in 2024 in the Swiss cradle of watchmaking, Le Locle. The foundations of this brand are based on the philosophy of artistic freedom, as well as the fulfillment of human beings through liberating creative power and the purity of the craft gesture are just some of the main values ​​cherished by the founders of this unusual brand.

Schaefer & Companions is a symbol of paying tribute to timeless poetry, creativity, that is why every Schaefer & Companions watch is a special masterpiece that has an unusual story. The essence of the brand is an artistic endeavor and a creative liberating form, an entire interconnected product landscape in the world that stands for creative craftsmanship, or as it is better known in French, “les metiers d’art”.

During the process of creating the first “Antarctica” collection, I had the great honor and pleasure of meeting the founder of this unusual luxury watch brand, Mr. Christophe Schaefer, who enthusiastically presented his ideas and drawings of the watch models he plans to create. This is not an ordinary collaboration but a new chapter that is part of my life’s journey and it is a wonderful feeling to be part of a project like Schaefer & Companions. I also have to make you happy that I am the first brand ambassador of this exceptional watch brand and that I will do my best to introduce you to some of the S&C brand watch models in the coming period through my fashion stories in which you are used to showing you various novelties.

Today we will learn a new term that I will often use during the presentation of this brand – companion. Schafer & Companions is a lifetime journey in which Mr. Schaefer and his companions have invested all their passion, the beauty of life, as well as the hopes that passionate watch lovers will recognize the uniqueness and love of art.

Françoise Remmonay is part of the Schaefer & Companions family and part of the Donzé Cadran Atelier that creates a wide range of masterpieces in the watchmaking industry.

The Schaefer & Companions team decided to “break the ice” by marking the launch of its first watch collection at Geneva Watch Days (GWD) 2024 called “Antarctica“, which brings to life two watch models: Solune Medallion and Solune Grand Art. The Antarctica collection, available in limited editions, encapsulates the frozen vastness, quiet isolation and resilience of Antarctica. In today’s post you have the opportunity to see one of the Solune Grand Art variation of models.

Schaefer & Companions watches will be on display at the Beau-Rivage Genève Hotel during GWD 2024.

Address: Quai du Mont-Blanc 13, 1201 Genève, Switzerland

Also, I would just like to let all interested watch lovers know that Schaefer & Companions will officially open their waiting list on September 10th, 2024, so you will be able to get an S&C watch on your wrist soon.

They are windows into this vast, icy expanse and represent a subtle artisanal intuition. Enamel is a precious material used to make S&C dials where artists have the opportunity to express their skills.

What is Enamel? Enamel is a glass mixture made of silicon dioxide and various metal oxides added to create different shades. Before any color can be applied, the craftsman must create a good basis for further artistic work. The enamel is crushed, ground and purified, first in distilled water and then in nitric acid. Then the copper, silver or gold plate is cleaned and coated with a layer of white enamel on both sides. The end result is a perfectly clean “canvas” for painting without the fear that the copper will bend when exposed to extreme temperatures.

After the process of making an enamelled dial, we come to the most complex part of making an enamelled watch, and that is making the dial. Because the colors of the enamel react differently and change in the oven, the designer must know exactly in advance how the material will react in order to create a work of art that can be faithfully reproduced.

Once the dial is properly constructed with the coated dial plate, the painting process can begin! The artist prepares a palette of colors with the nuances needed to create a predetermined image. The image must be carefully applied in several layers and baked in an oven up to 800ºC between painting processes. First, harder, more elastic colors are applied that can withstand multiple cracking, while gentle shades are kept in the final stages. With just a small misjudgment, the dial can warp, burst, or explode. Since the colors react to the heat both individually and collectively, a small mistake in the order can lead to unwanted results and force the masters to start re-making the enamelled dial.

Owning a dial, that little enamel masterpiece in my personal collection is exceptional. Due to the cost and complexity associated with its creation, the vast majority of enameled works are in museums. The rarity of skilled craftsmen is another factor, as the craft almost became extinct in the early twentieth century.

Proof that miracles are possible is Mrs. Françoise Remmonay of the Donzé Cadran Atelier based in Le Locle and she is a member of the S&C team and she is in charge of enamelled medallions and dials. In today’s fashion story, you will have the opportunity to see the dial that she made – a model of a frozen ocean that offers a view of the coldest continent in the world – Antarctica.

The Solune Grand Art watch model that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post represents a captured moment of an eternally living landscape of frozen waves of a turbulent ocean. The dial enameling process of this watch model begins with the sculpting of fine sheets of silver that are shaped into a realistic wave structure that provides personality and depth. Several layers of rare and limited enamel derived from antique enamel ateliers were then applied to the silver relief. This composition of enamel relief combined with vibrant colors creates a unique watch with a strong and distinctive character.

Today we continue the story of the ecommerce platform MYTHERESA, as well as the brands available on this platform. I believe many of you have heard about MYTHERESA shopping platform on Mr.M blog, but I would like to introduce you to this electronic fashion paradise. MYTHERESA is one of the leading global luxury e-commerce platforms operating in over 130 countries. Founded as a boutique in 1987, MYTHERESA launched online in 2006 and offers ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and accessories for women, men and children, as well as lifestyle products.

The MYTHERESA online store was founded in 2006 by Susanne and Christoph Botschen and is connected to the multi-brand store in Munich (formerly the THERESA store). In 2014, the THERESA store and mytheresa.com were acquired by the American luxury retailer Neiman Marcus for €150 million, giving Neiman Marcus greater access to international customers and strengthening their e-commerce technology.

During Neiman Marcus’ bankruptcy in 2020, the company began the process of spinning off Mytheresa as an independent entity. In January 2019, Mytheresa launched a children’s clothing category, and in January 2020, Mytheresa Men was launched. In May 2022, a new homeware and lifestyle category followed. In 2022, Mytheresa expanded its luxury offering to include home decor and lifestyle products.

The novelty they presented this year is the launch of certified second-hand watches from over 25 luxury brands, such as Audemars Piguet and Cartier, in cooperation with the Swiss jewelry and watch company Bucherer. As a global retailer, Mytheresa operates in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Korean.

In today’s post, you will see some fashion pieces from Brunello Cucinelli brand that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Fashion pieces from the Brunello Cucinelli collection are made so that they can last for seasons and years with the guarantee that you can leave something of exceptional quality to your descendants with a timeless cut that will always be fashionable. Each manufactured piece is designed so that it does not follow blind trends, but on the contrary remains its own and consistent with the style of timeless elegance and refinement. Brunello Cucinelli is a brand that cherishes the values of “quiet luxury”, that’s why you’ll never see an aggressive brand logo on their clothes, leather goods or other fashion accessories, but the design and material will tell the story for themselves.

Brunello Cucinelli is an Italian luxury fashion brand that sells menswear, womenswear and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cucinelli in 1978. Mr. Cucinelli started his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. Today, the company owns 94 of the 124 stores worldwide. A few years ago, more precisely in January 2017, the company launched its online web store.

Mr. Cucinelli controls and manages the brand through Fedone Srl. Cucinelli’s family fund owns 57% of the company’s shares, and has also set up a special fund for the benefit of his daughters, Camilla and Carolina, to guarantee the proper handover of his eponymous company. This is an inspiring fashion story about a family.

An impressive fact is that the company headquarters is located in a 14th-century castle on top of a hill in the middle of Umbria, an area known as the “green heart” of Italy. Brunello Cucinelli donates 20% of profits to its charitable foundation and pays workers wages that are 20% higher than the fashion industry average. Also interesting information is that the employees of the company have extremely flexible working hours and that e-mails are not allowed after working hours. This is one of the few fashion houses that have such good working conditions, which is commendable in today’s age of classical capitalism.

My outfit today is adorned with three pieces from the latest Brunello Cucinelli SS24 collection, which is this beautiful navy double-breasted blazer, beige shirt and beige jeans. A navy double-breasted blazer is a fashion piece that every man needs because this jacket can be worn on any occasion, from everyday business occasions when you need a blazer like this for a business meeting or you want an elegant blazer for some formal occasions. The shirt is something completely new and unusual than I’m used to seeing in Brunello Cucinelli collections and I especially liked this unusual one, I just wanted to have a shirt like this in my wardrobe when I saw it in the catalog. In addition to the interesting design, this shirt is of exceptional quality made from a combination of high-quality cotton and silk. Jeans are something I really love to wear and I usually have darker jeans, but when I saw these beige jeans I could totally picture myself in them. They have a lot of elastin, which is ideal for everyday activities.

If you want to stay updated and find out what iconic Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli has prepared for us this fashion season, follow this brand on social media: Facebook and Instagram.

Biagini is one of those traditional Italian artisanal brands that has managed to easily develop and become recognizable throughout Europe and the world without losing its authenticity. Founded in 1968, it is a real family project in which everyone has a part of the credit for the great success because the soul of this brand is made up of people, starting with the founder Alberto Amidei, who takes care of production supervision, his wife Enza, who is in charge of quality control, and both have passed their passion on to their three children: daughter Elisa, who takes care of the company and commercial management, and Valentina, who is responsible for the development of the women’s collection, while son Luca, takes care of the management of the small leather goods department and the development of the men’s collection.

The Biagini brand is rooted in the tradition of leather craftsmanship and continues to constantly conduct thorough research into materials, which are locally produced and specially hand-painted according to the brand’s conceptual designs. In addition to respecting the heritage, the brand carries a truly contemporary creative soul. Biagini’s creative team play with geometries, such as the iconic curved lines inspired by waves, experiment with textures, be it soft hood, raw canvas, python or crocodile leather, have fun with color, exploring a palette of neutral tones as well as a palette of bright hues .

What is the story of this unusual prestigious brand of leather goods? Biagini, a brand born in Bologna in 1968, originally called “Silvano Biagini”, was acquired in 1999 by the Modenese Amidei family.

Eclectic, vibrant and timeless, this brand is evolving, introducing a men’s collection in 2009 and 2013, changing headquarters, expanding its production facilities and creating a showroom, inspired by Italian design in the 60s and 70s, a period in which the spirit of the Biagini brand received its true and true form.

Today’s fashion adventure ends with old well-known friends of Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories.

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.

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

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta. 

In today’s post, I present one of the iconic Brera models. Brera is the bohemian quarter of Milan where, in the sixties of the last century, sculptors, painters and writers struggled to leave their mark with a new language and new forms. The liberal and cosmopolitan spirit was the source of inspiration for “Brera”, a moccasin with tassels, a style revolution in a country that is just rediscovering its joy of life. Brera combines different materials and colors as a true work of art. The special composition of materials and shapes makes moccasins a successful chapter in the history of Fratelli Rossetti.

Today you have the opportunity to see a special summer version of the famous Brera loafers in shades of blue, made of soft closed-weave material. Special high-quality processing and production. These moccasins have a hand-dyed leather sole. The shoes are handmade in Italy, like all other Fratelli Rossetti shoes.

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

WOOYOUNGMI: The New South Korean Definition of Urban and Edgy Elegance…

Fashion Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog, an unusual South Korean fashion brand that chose the heart of France in the city of light, fashion and love – Paris for its development in the world of fashion. This at first glance unusual fashion brand has found its way to true fashion lovers and due to its great success it is at the very top of the fashion scene – Wooyoungmi.

WOOYOUNGMI is a South Korean menswear brand launched in Paris by designer Youngmi Woo in 2002. The creative duo once stated that art and architecture are the main sources of inspiration for the brand. Since the brand’s inception, WOOYOUNGMI has cemented itself as a major global contender for designer menswear. Despite being Korean, they found that the French capital would better suit their aesthetic and growing ambitions. After 22 years of continuous success, Ms. Woo and her daughter and co-creative director of the brand, Katie Chung, are constantly striving to give new fashion definitions to the WOOYOUNGMI man and achieving a good fashion and life balance. Interestingly, WOOYOUNGMI is the first menswear brand in South Korea headed by women as creative directors.

Youngmi Woo was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1959. Her father was the head of an architectural firm, which allowed her to travel a lot, bringing home international magazines, which the young Youngmi studied, becoming curious about the world outside of Korea. Together with her mother, who taught both art and piano, they did their best to use what they had to provide a creative environment for their five children. She studied fashion at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul. After graduating in 1983, she was chosen to represent Korea at the Japan International Fashion Contest in Osaka where she won.

Not long after, in 1988, Ms. Youngmi Woo launched the menswear brand Solid Homme, starting with a single store. Today, there are 21 stores opened in cooperation with the Hyundai Group, as well as others with Lotte, Shinsegae and Galleria. A few years later, in 1993, Ms. Woo and her young designer friends started “New Wave”, as a platform for young designers to showcase their work. This paved the way for today’s Seoul Fashion Week. Designer Youngmi Woo founded her eponymous brand WOOYOUNGMI in 2002 in Paris. She has always wanted to start a brand that allows her the freedom to design for her vision of her ideal man.

The WOOYOUNGMI brand has been showing at Paris Menswear Week since 2003. A few years later, in mid-2011, the WOOYOUNGMI brand became an official member of La Chambre Sindicale de la Mode Masculine. Also in the same year, the brand collaborated with London department store Selfridges on the “My Coat, My Gift” event, where five young London creatives were asked to redesign the best-selling coat no. 51. The resulting designs were exhibited in a special pop-up at Selfridges, with a percentage of the coat’s sales during the event being donated to charity.

The following year, in 2012, under the artistic direction of daughter Katie Chung, WOOYOUNGMI began collaborating with artists to create their advertising campaigns. Artists who participated in this project, to name a few, are sculptor Guerra de la Paz and Korean artist Osang Gwon with her unique blend of sculpture and photography, and painter Clemens Krauss. Not long after, in 2014, WOOYOUNGMI launched a special capsule collection with the online shopping platform Mr Porter. In September of the same year, Youngmi Woo was named one of the 500 people shaping the global fashion industry by Business of Fashion in its “BoF 500”. Katie Chung, her daughter, was named joint creative director in 2014 and presented her first collection in June 2014 as part of the Spring-Summer 2015 collection.

Since its launch, the brand has broken into the Western market with high-end retailers such as Selfridges in London and Bon Marche in Paris, WOOYOUNGMI has established itself as a leading Korean men’s brand in Europe.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see two interesting fashion pieces from the WOOYOUNGMI SS24 collection. The short-sleeved shirt has a white base with blue stripes in light blue and blue shades. High-waist pants are a special piece that I had the opportunity to see this summer, I have not had the opportunity to try this model of pants with many striking pieces. Apart from the model, the material and the very texture of the material is special and I liked that the material is light and does not wrinkle.

Today’s fashion adventure continues with new friends of the Mr.M blog, a young and innovative exclusive Swiss watch brand that I’m sure you’ll love at first sight! In one of the previous stories, I wrote more details about this brand, and I advise you to spare a few minutes and read the story at the following LINK.

DONE is proof that all dreams can become reality, if you really believe in yourself and constantly work on yourself. I believe that there are a large number of watch lovers who realize and understand how difficult it really is to start your own watch brand and that it is every watchmaker’s dream to create their own watch brand one day. In the past, it was almost an impossible mission, but with the emergence of platforms where you can present your project and request financial assistance to achieve your business goals, anything is possible.

Crowdfunding platforms have taken on a very special importance during the last couple of years, especially in the watch industry. While in the past an extremely large amount of capital was required, today there is an almost endless community of watch enthusiasts from all over the world who could help you make your dreams come true. The best thing about it: if watch enthusiasts like your project, many of them are willing to financially support the project before the official start of production even begins.

That’s exactly what Mr. Thierry Clottu managed to do, when he completed an impressive Kickstarter campaign in July 2016. When he successfully raised the financial means for making watches, he set about creating his own watchmaking brand, which he had been dreaming about for years.

Mr. Clottu started making his dreams come true in 2015, when he made the first sketches for his new project. As an experienced microtechnology engineer and after more than 10 years of product development experience for many well-known luxury watch brands, he decided to finally commit to his own long-awaited dream of his own watch brand.

By the way, the name “DONE Watches” has a double meaning: on the one hand, it represents the founder’s personal challenge to create a successful watch brand himself, that is, to actually do it. On the other hand, the name alludes to the region of the brand’s birth, located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland – Done in Neuchâtel.

Mr. Clottu has already successfully established three watch collections, which are called Classic, Skeleton and Automatic. The story of this unusual Swiss brand DONE watches began in 2016, with the “MECHANICA ME1A” from the Classic series, a sporty-elegant everyday watch with a small second at 9 o’clock and a beautifully decorated hand-wound caliber.

Automatic three-handers, on the other hand, are significantly more timeless, with only a classic date window at 3 o’clock and available in 40mm (men’s) and 36mm (women’s) diameters. For those who prefer something a little more extravagant on their wrist, Clottu has developed the elegant Skeleton models, which boast an open caliber and DLC coating.

In today’s fashion story, I have the great honor and pleasure to present you the newest model of the DONE watch MECHANICA B03 in a special limited edition of 50 pieces. After the great sales success of the MECHANICA B01 and MECHANICA B02 models, the DONE brand is pleased to present the MECHANICA B03 model at this year’s Time to Watches.

The MECHANICA B03 model uses the same aesthetic codes as its predecessors, but in shades
clearer and more concrete. Its silver movement brings a beautiful depth to this watch which then fully reveals its movement in complete transparency. The B03 proudly displays its case diameter of 43.8 mm with an overall thickness of 10.9 mm. Because it is extremely thin and light, trust me I forgot I had this watch on my wrist.

When I discovered this convenience, I realized that the high quality of the execution of its components stands out, both in terms of the level of construction of the case, as well as in the “in-house” manual-wound caliber itself. The founder’s main motto when creating this new DONE model was: “True beauty comes from within!”. Therefore, the new MECHANICA B03 model has the famous basic movement ETA 6497-1 due to its reliability and precision, in this model processed in a skeletonized cut of bridges and a modern design. This watch is the result of dedicated work where we obtained exceptional design results in order to harmonize the whole for a clean and timeless result.

Case Diameter: 43,8mm

Case Thickness: 10,9mm

Case Material: Grade 5 Titanium

Water Resistance: 10 ATM (100m)

Crystals: Saphire, anti reflective coating

Movement: Skeleton, ETA 6497-1, hand-winding, design done in house

Today’s fashion adventure ends with old well-known friends of Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories.

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.

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

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta. 

In today’s post, I present one of the iconic Brera models. Brera is the bohemian quarter of Milan where, in the sixties of the last century, sculptors, painters and writers struggled to leave their mark with a new language and new forms. The liberal and cosmopolitan spirit was the source of inspiration for “Brera”, a moccasin with tassels, a style revolution in a country that is just rediscovering its joy of life. Brera combines different materials and colors as a true work of art. The special composition of materials and shapes makes moccasins a successful chapter in the history of Fratelli Rossetti.

Today you have the opportunity to see a special summer version of the famous Brera loafers in shades of blue, made of soft closed-weave material. Special high-quality processing and production. These moccasins have a hand-dyed leather sole. The shoes are handmade in Italy, like all other Fratelli Rossetti shoes.

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

Brunello Cucinelli: Simplicity is a Key of the Ultimate Perfection…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with old friends of the Mr.M blog, an iconic and wide famous Italian fashion house that is at the very top of the fashion scene – Brunello Cucinelli.

Today we continue the story of the ecommerce platform MYTHERESA, as well as the brands available on this platform. I believe many of you have heard about MYTHERESA shopping platform on Mr.M blog, but I would like to introduce you to this electronic fashion paradise. MYTHERESA is one of the leading global luxury e-commerce platforms operating in over 130 countries. Founded as a boutique in 1987, MYTHERESA launched online in 2006 and offers ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and accessories for women, men and children, as well as lifestyle products.

The MYTHERESA online store was founded in 2006 by Susanne and Christoph Botschen and is connected to the multi-brand store in Munich (formerly the THERESA store). In 2014, the THERESA store and mytheresa.com were acquired by the American luxury retailer Neiman Marcus for €150 million, giving Neiman Marcus greater access to international customers and strengthening their e-commerce technology.

During Neiman Marcus’ bankruptcy in 2020, the company began the process of spinning off Mytheresa as an independent entity. In January 2019, Mytheresa launched a children’s clothing category, and in January 2020, Mytheresa Men was launched. In May 2022, a new homeware and lifestyle category followed. In 2022, Mytheresa expanded its luxury offering to include home decor and lifestyle products.

The novelty they presented this year is the launch of certified second-hand watches from over 25 luxury brands, such as Audemars Piguet and Cartier, in cooperation with the Swiss jewelry and watch company Bucherer. As a global retailer, Mytheresa operates in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Korean.

In today’s post, you will see some fashion pieces from Brunello Cucinelli brand that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Fashion pieces from the Brunello Cucinelli collection are made so that they can last for seasons and years with the guarantee that you can leave something of exceptional quality to your descendants with a timeless cut that will always be fashionable. Each manufactured piece is designed so that it does not follow blind trends, but on the contrary remains its own and consistent with the style of timeless elegance and refinement. Brunello Cucinelli is a brand that cherishes the values of “quiet luxury”, that’s why you’ll never see an aggressive brand logo on their clothes, leather goods or other fashion accessories, but the design and material will tell the story for themselves.

Brunello Cucinelli is an Italian luxury fashion brand that sells menswear, womenswear and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cucinelli in 1978. Mr. Cucinelli started his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. Today, the company owns 94 of the 124 stores worldwide. A few years ago, more precisely in January 2017, the company launched its online web store.

Mr. Cucinelli controls and manages the brand through Fedone Srl. Cucinelli’s family fund owns 57% of the company’s shares, and has also set up a special fund for the benefit of his daughters, Camilla and Carolina, to guarantee the proper handover of his eponymous company. This is an inspiring fashion story about a family.

An impressive fact is that the company headquarters is located in a 14th-century castle on top of a hill in the middle of Umbria, an area known as the “green heart” of Italy. Brunello Cucinelli donates 20% of profits to its charitable foundation and pays workers wages that are 20% higher than the fashion industry average. Also interesting information is that the employees of the company have extremely flexible working hours and that e-mails are not allowed after working hours. This is one of the few fashion houses that have such good working conditions, which is commendable in today’s age of classical capitalism.

My outfit today is adorned with two pieces of clothing from the latest Brunello Cucinelli’s SS24 collection, which are this beautiful white linen shirt and linen – silk blend trousers. The linen shirt is a piece that can be found in every Brunello Cucinelli collection and is a timeless classic, you simply can never go wrong with a white linen shirt. Light summer pants are something I really love to wear and I usually wear linen pants, but this time I opted for pants that are an ideal blend of the two best summer materials such as silk and linen. With this model of trousers, my heart was won by the interesting cut and wider legs, as well as the detail of emphasising the waist.

Biagini is one of those traditional Italian artisanal brands that has managed to easily develop and become recognizable throughout Europe and the world without losing its authenticity. Founded in 1968, it is a real family project in which everyone has a part of the credit for the great success because the soul of this brand is made up of people, starting with the founder Alberto Amidei, who takes care of production supervision, his wife Enza, who is in charge of quality control, and both have passed their passion on to their three children: daughter Elisa, who takes care of the company and commercial management, and Valentina, who is responsible for the development of the women’s collection, while son Luca, takes care of the management of the small leather goods department and the development of the men’s collection.

The Biagini brand is rooted in the tradition of leather craftsmanship and continues to constantly conduct thorough research into materials, which are locally produced and specially hand-painted according to the brand’s conceptual designs. In addition to respecting the heritage, the brand carries a truly contemporary creative soul. Biagini’s creative team play with geometries, such as the iconic curved lines inspired by waves, experiment with textures, be it soft hood, raw canvas, python or crocodile leather, have fun with color, exploring a palette of neutral tones as well as a palette of bright hues .

What is the story of this unusual prestigious brand of leather goods? Biagini, a brand born in Bologna in 1968, originally called “Silvano Biagini”, was acquired in 1999 by the Modenese Amidei family.

Eclectic, vibrant and timeless, this brand is evolving, introducing a men’s collection in 2009 and 2013, changing headquarters, expanding its production facilities and creating a showroom, inspired by Italian design in the 60s and 70s, a period in which the spirit of the Biagini brand received its true and true form.

The turning point for the Biagini brand was the year 2018, when the showroom in Milan was officially opened, a space in the very heart of the city, ideal for international customers who have come to love and faithfully follow the work of this brand. Two years later, in 2020, the first boutique was opened in the seaside resort of Milano Maritima. Not long after, in 2021, thanks to young management and a new creative team, there is a strong need to renew the brand, to introduce freshness and lightness, starting with the name that becomes BIAGINI. Thus begins a new story for a company from Modena that decides to reinvent itself, combining a long artisanal tradition with a new, young and contemporary look.

BIAGINI is a family story with over 40 years of work, Mr. Alberto Amidei once said: “Continuity is the greatest hope for a wonderful work that requires constancy, dedication, will and endless passion.”

The philosophy of the BIAGINI brand is based on authenticity, a passion that is in constant dialogue with craft, their connection is ancient and current that is constantly evolving.

The starting point of the BIAGINI team’s research is the material, starting with detailed research and selection of fine leather, selected from among the best Italian tanners who meet high quality standards. The most precious leathers are hand dyed, and each stage of processing takes place in accordance with international regulations and standards. The entire creative and productive process takes place in the BIAGINI laboratory in Modena, home of the brand. The ability to be present in every creative and productive phase of the product allows the company direct, easy and dynamic management.

The BIAGINI workshop becomes the scene of continuous experimentation with colors and shapes, which allow the BIAGINI team to shape unique and precious artifacts, a sincere expression of love for the art of leather goods.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a backpack from the BIAGINI collection, the Tower Dubaimodel, made of the finest leather in combination with crocodile skin in a beautiful shade of cognac color. The backpack is handmade 100% “Made in Italy”. The backpack is decorated with an external pocket made of crocodile skin with a zipper. The interior of the backpack is extremely spacious and has a pocket with a zipper.

To ensure the comfort and convenience of the backpack on your back there are adjustable leather shoulder straps and a leather handle made of real crocodile skin. All metal accessories on the backpack are neutral silver. In terms of dimensions, this is a true men’s backpack of medium size, measuring: height 39 cm – length 33 cm and depth 19 cm.

This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time!

After a few years, Fratelli Rossetti saw success, but, wanting to develop further, they transferred the brands and equipment for this special production to Atala Sport in Padua.

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

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

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta and the new line that you will get to know today – Green Side.

The Fratelli Rossetti Green Side line marks an important step on the way to respecting and sustaining the environment. The project begins with the launch of sports slippers that never neglect the historical values of the Fratelli Rossetti world, such as handwork and tradition. From the Spring-Summer 2023 collection, Green Side also conquers the festive line with one of the most representative models: the iconic Brera moccasins, which in this version stand out for their hand-knit mask with crochet technique, suede upper made of recycled material. material and for the sole made of recycled leather. In the slipper model, the sole is made entirely of natural latex, which makes the shoe versatile and comfortable. For both proposals, the inner lining is made of natural bamboo fibers and the removable insole is made entirely of Pet fibers, which guarantee high breath-ability and optimal moisture absorption. The cotton stitching is particularly impressive, emphasizing the appeal of the handmade product.

In today’s post, I present one of the Brera models. Brera is the bohemian quarter of Milan where, in the sixties of the last century, sculptors, painters and writers struggled to leave their mark with a new language and new forms. The liberal and cosmopolitan spirit was the source of inspiration for “Brera”, a moccasin with tassels, a style revolution in a country that is just rediscovering its joy of life. Brera combines different materials and colors as a true work of art. The special composition of materials and shapes makes moccasins a successful chapter in the history of Fratelli Rossetti.

Based on environmental awareness, sustainability and craftsmanship, this Brera moccasin model from the Green Side project is also reflected in the iconic value and beauty of the Brera moccasin. The loafers you can see in today’s post are made of soft suede and have a hand-crocheted penny bridge, which emphasizes the exclusivity of Brera moccasins. These moccasins have a leather sole.

Vince: Understated Concept of Everyday Luxury Essentials…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog, an interesting fashion brand from California that cultivates a concept of everyday luxury essentials that I’m sure you’ll love at first sight!

Vince is a brand that creates “understated luxury from California”. Their design atelier was founded in Los Angeles to capture the legendary freedom and effortless allure of coastal living. Enduring materials – rich, buttery leather, plush cashmere, glowing silk and the softest wool, are executed with exquisite precision and nuanced details that make each piece feel like a personal gift.

A quiet sophistication is found in all their creations which are true little heroes, moving with ease through spaces, seasons, occasions and phases of one’s life. All creations differ in texture, color and pattern. Since the brand’s inception in 2002, every addition to the women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, fashion accessories and home collection has been made to inspire timeless confidence, allowing us to think more clearly and creatively to help us create an image of true luxury and simplicity. This is the conceptual vision and work concept of the Vince brand.

Vince is a brand that uses unparalleled quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship to create their products, which set the foundation for their women’s and men’s collections. All yarns and fabrics are sourced from Italy, Japan and beyond to produce the highest quality cashmere, silk and leather that is resistant to wear and tear and weather. Saturation is enhanced and softened until perfect color is achieved, and detail is refined down to the last stitch.

Clothing items are created to live in, to spend time wearing each silhouette, but also to feel good in that wardrobe. What materials does the Vince brand use in the production process?

Cashmere
Vince has been making items from their signature, ultra-soft cashmere with the same Mongolian and Chinese cashmere goats and in the same factory since they were founded in 2002. Sourcing only long fibers for the softest sweaters possible, over 20 years of working with their cashmere factory has allowed them to customize every step of the process for the most luxurious and essential products, weight, color, tension and finish.

Their design team pays close attention to every detail of the design: every seam is precisely made, every edge is fully formed – the sign of a true luxury sweater.

Silk
Vince’s signature silk was chosen for its unparalleled luster and dream weight: supple, fluid drape delivered in a feathery feel. The crepe lining provides a hint of structure for the fit that follows, but never clings to the body. Their silks continue to grace Vince’s timeless blouses, bias-cut dresses and effortless skirts in an ever-changing spectrum of hues.

Leather
Vince design team hand-select soft, buttery lambskin leather in Italy, France and Turkey for the fewest seams possible and a natural, semi-matte finish to ensure lasting quality. Each selected piece lends refined drape to Vince’s luxurious skirts and blazers, and supple structure to more sculptural trousers and blouses.

In quietly unexpected hues and classic neutrals, Vince leather is often lined with soft twill for calibrated comfort and always finished with color-coordinated hand-dyed trim. The result: forever wardrobe essentials that stand the test of time, trends and taste.

Pima Cotton
Pima is the softest and smoothest cotton because of the extra long cotton fibers used to make it. The Vince team further refines by calibrating the ideal weight, as light as possible for the most elegant finish with enough weight for opaque coverage in Peru, where they have been producing their pima cotton for over a decade.

Fewer longer fibers also make pima cotton extra shiny and durable, able to maintain the color and integrity of the material through multiple washes to keep it looking as beautiful as when it was purchased.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see two products from the latest Vince SS24 collection: a hand-painted silk shirt and lightweight navy linen trousers. Both pieces are so perfectly designed that you can make the most of the summer period, unhindered without the obstacles that sometimes the clothes themselves can make more difficult.

This shirt is definitely one of the fashion pieces that marked this summer due to its texture and print that was obtained by hand painting silk. On the other hand, the simplicity and elegance of timeless linen, as well as the dark color itself, is just an addition to this refreshing summer outfit.

Sneakers: Lanvin via MYTHERESA Men

We continue today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog that you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous stories. ENVISION is an interesting watch brand that is proof of Italian perfect design and Swiss precision! Envision is an Italian brand born from the vision of its founder and designer Alessandro Bambini in the productive heart of Italy – Modena, whose passion for watchmaking leads to the creation of wristwatches made in Switzerland with highly innovative designs.

ENVISION aims not only to create watches, but also to design wearable works of art that can seamlessly integrate into the rhythm of modern life and evoke emotions even in the brief moment when we look at the time on our wrist. The ENVISION brand originates from Modena, in the productive heart of Italy, the land of elegance and innovation, with the aim of creating unique and stunning timepieces that embody the art and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

In the vast and competitive landscape of watchmaking, creating something truly unique and new is an extremely ambitious challenge. That is why every ENVISION model is the result of many years of study and research. However, that alone is not enough. Offering products with avant-garde lines without ensuring that the quality meets expectations would be a challenge lost from the start. That’s why ENVISION makes sure that every watch it creates meets the high standards they set for their brand, while ensuring timely and attentive customer support.

Today I will introduce you to Prisma, the first creation of the Envision brand that deeply embodies the vision of this exceptional Italian watch brand.

A masterful blend of Italian design and Swiss technology, Prisma represents the pinnacle of watchmaking art. Packed with a Sellita SV200-1 automatic mechanical movement tuned by the Envision team, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, a Prisma Sapphire Blue ​​blue dial with a sunray finish and an integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch is the perfection of luxury in every detail that will grace your wrist. This watch represents an uncompromising choice of style and precision.

The 316L stainless steel case surrounds a high-quality sapphire crystal that features a prismatic cut that captures light beautifully. Each reflection creates a play of light, color and shadow, giving the watch a unique and attractive look.

An expansive dial with a sunburst finish, applied indexes expertly crafted with alternating polished and satin finishes, and glossy dauphin hands all contribute to a unique wrist experience unlike anything we’re used to.

What adorns the Envision Prisma watch model is the innovative integrated bracelet that extends around the case. Each link, crafted with care and dedication, is a continuation of the ends of the case, encompassing the wrist until it reaches the opening clasp that subtly displays the brand’s engraving. Each component, created with care and passion, undergoes rigorous checks by the Envision expert team to ensure quality and durability.

Inside each Prisma’s case beats the Swiss automatic heart, the Sellita movement, which needs no introduction. With 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 A/h set internally by the Envision team, and a power reserve of 38 hours, it ensures Swiss reliability and precision.

In addition to Prisma Sapphire Blue, Envision has 3 more colors in its offer: Prisma Space Gray, Prisma Emerald Green, Prisma Ruby Red. In the following fashion stories, I will also introduce you to the Envision Prisma Sapphire Blue!

I’m sure you want to stay updated and find out what all the models Envision watch brand has prepared us, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Lanvin is a French luxury fashion house based in Paris. Founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, it is the oldest French fashion house still in operation. Since 2018, it has been a subsidiary of the Lanvin Group based in Shanghai. The House of Lanvin was named after its founder Jeanne Lanvin in 1889. Lanvin was founded in 1867 and opened its first store in rue du Marche Saint Honore in 1885.

Lanvin made clothes for her daughter Marie-Blanche de Polignac, which began to attract the attention of many wealthy people, who were looking for creations for their children. Soon Lanvin was making dresses for their mothers, who were included in the clientele of her new boutique on rue Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris. In 1909, Lanvin joined the Syndicat de la Couture, marking her formal status as a couturier. The Lanvin logo was inspired by a photograph taken of Jeanne Lanvin while attending a ball with her daughter in 1907. As Albert Elbaz said, “It is not a lion and it is not a horse. It’s mother and daughter, I find the logo very emotional.” Since 1923, the Lanvin empire has included a paint factory in Nanterre.

When Lanvin died in 1946, ownership of the company passed to her daughter Marguerite, who shared the management of the company from 1942 with a cousin, then an expert in the fashion industry. Since Marie-Blanche de Polignac was childless when she died in 1958, ownership of the House of Lanvin went to a cousin, Yves Lanvin. From the mid-1960s until the takeover by L’Oreal in 1996, Lanvin was led by Bernard Lanvin. The export department was in the original factory in Nanterre where all the perfumes were produced and bottled. The administrative seat was in Paris. In 1979, Lanvin bought its independence from Squibb USA and Paris organized a major PR promotional tour in the United States that same year. Midland Bank bought a stake in the company from the family in March 1989 and hired Leon Bressler to restore the firm’s faded image. However, in February 1990, Midland folded and sold Lanvin to Orcofa, a French holding company run by the Vuitton family.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see their new model of Bumper sneakers that are completely made in white leather. This model exists in various variations and combinations of materials and each sneaker is unique and unusual.

Loro Piana: Gentle Summer Silhouettes that Radiate an Aura of Serenity and Elegance…

Fashion Outfit Post 27 Comments

My dear fashion lovers, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with old friends of the Mr.M blog, one far and wide famous iconic Italian fashion house located at the very top of the fashion scene – Loro Piana.

The outfit that you will have the opportunity to see today was just one of numerous outfits planned for a special trip on Safari in Africa, but due to the unprofessional way of doing business of the Namibia Tourism Board, due to numerous omissions of their employees, the trip was not held because my team was deceived after four months of negotiations and the trip was unfortunately not realised due to business irresponsibility and exceptional unprofessionalism of the team of the Namibia Tourism Board who, even after the warning of my legal team, did not speak up or show any kind of readiness and willingness to find a common solution for the numerous problems they caused to the Mr.M team and our partners after the confirmed collaboration and trip that was supposed to will be held at the end of July – mid-August this year.

I would like to publicly apologize to all partners of this project who wholeheartedly trusted and gave their selfless contribution and support. After 10 years of a successful blogging and influencer career, this is the first time I have experienced such an unpleasant situation in which I found myself due to deception by the employees of the Nambia tourism organization. I hope you will like the outfit regardless of the current circumstances, I tried to respect all the brands that were part of this project.

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.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the beige trousers, beige shirt and sneakers from the latest men’s Loro Piana SS24 collection, which are just a small part of my favorites this season because of its distinctive elegance and my love for neutral colors. Made from a combination of silk, cotton and viscose, these beige trousers are perfect for the man who pays attention to details and leaves nothing to chance. These pants are perfect for all occasions and can be easily combined with other colors, and the cut itself is unusual. This outfit was perfectly enriched by Loro Piana’s viscose – silk shirt, which is simply ideal for the summer period due to its breathability and the incredible feeling of cooling your skin.

As an ideal finish and complement to this incredible safari outfit were the elegant Loro Piana sneakers in the color of hazel, which are made of the finest suede leather. 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.

Biagini is one of those traditional Italian artisanal brands that has managed to easily develop and become recognizable throughout Europe and the world without losing its authenticity. Founded in 1968, it is a real family project in which everyone has a part of the credit for the great success because the soul of this brand is made up of people, starting with the founder Alberto Amidei, who takes care of production supervision, his wife Enza, who is in charge of quality control, and both have passed their passion on to their three children: daughter Elisa, who takes care of the company and commercial management, and Valentina, who is responsible for the development of the women’s collection, while son Luca, takes care of the management of the small leather goods department and the development of the men’s collection.

The Biagini brand is rooted in the tradition of leather craftsmanship and continues to constantly conduct thorough research into materials, which are locally produced and specially hand-painted according to the brand’s conceptual designs. In addition to respecting the heritage, the brand carries a truly contemporary creative soul. Biagini’s creative team play with geometries, such as the iconic curved lines inspired by waves, experiment with textures, be it soft hood, raw canvas, python or crocodile leather, have fun with color, exploring a palette of neutral tones as well as a palette of bright hues .

What is the story of this unusual prestigious brand of leather goods? Biagini, a brand born in Bologna in 1968, originally called “Silvano Biagini”, was acquired in 1999 by the Modenese Amidei family.

Eclectic, vibrant and timeless, this brand is evolving, introducing a men’s collection in 2009 and 2013, changing headquarters, expanding its production facilities and creating a showroom, inspired by Italian design in the 60s and 70s, a period in which the spirit of the Biagini brand received its true and true form.

The turning point for the Biagini brand was the year 2018, when the showroom in Milan was officially opened, a space in the very heart of the city, ideal for international customers who have come to love and faithfully follow the work of this brand. Two years later, in 2020, the first boutique was opened in the seaside resort of Milano Maritima. Not long after, in 2021, thanks to young management and a new creative team, there is a strong need to renew the brand, to introduce freshness and lightness, starting with the name that becomes BIAGINI. Thus begins a new story for a company from Modena that decides to reinvent itself, combining a long artisanal tradition with a new, young and contemporary look.

BIAGINI is a family story with over 40 years of work, Mr. Alberto Amidei once said: “Continuity is the greatest hope for a wonderful work that requires constancy, dedication, will and endless passion.”

The philosophy of the BIAGINI brand is based on authenticity, a passion that is in constant dialogue with craft, their connection is ancient and current that is constantly evolving.

The starting point of the BIAGINI team’s research is the material, starting with detailed research and selection of fine leather, selected from among the best Italian tanners who meet high quality standards. The most precious leathers are hand dyed, and each stage of processing takes place in accordance with international regulations and standards. The entire creative and productive process takes place in the BIAGINI laboratory in Modena, home of the brand. The ability to be present in every creative and productive phase of the product allows the company direct, easy and dynamic management.

The BIAGINI workshop becomes the scene of continuous experimentation with colors and shapes, which allow the BIAGINI team to shape unique and precious artifacts, a sincere expression of love for the art of leather goods.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a backpack from the BIAGINI collection, the Tower Dubaimodel, made of the finest leather in combination with crocodile skin in a beautiful shade of cognac color. The backpack is handmade 100% “Made in Italy”. The backpack is decorated with an external pocket made of crocodile skin with a zipper. The interior of the backpack is extremely spacious and has a pocket with a zipper.

To ensure the comfort and convenience of the backpack on your back there are adjustable leather shoulder straps and a leather handle made of real crocodile skin. All metal accessories on the backpack are neutral silver. In terms of dimensions, this is a true men’s backpack of medium size, measuring: height 39 cm – length 33 cm and depth 19 cm.

In addition to the backpack, this outfit was completed by another detail from the BIAGINI offer, which is a Wave belt made of the finest crocodile leather in a beautiful shade of cognac color. The strap is a handmade “Made in Italy” piece. This exquisite belt is adorned with an unusual metal buckle that has the brand’s logo embossed on the underside.

DONE Watches: A Young and Independent Exclusive Watch Brand that You will Love!

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are doing great and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog, a young and innovative independent exclusive Swiss watch brand that I’m sure you’ll love at first sight!

DONE is proof that all dreams can become reality, if you really believe in yourself and constantly work on yourself. I believe that there are a large number of watch lovers who realize and understand how difficult it really is to start your own watch brand and that it is every watchmaker’s dream to create their own watch brand one day. In the past, it was almost an impossible mission, but with the emergence of platforms where you can present your project and request financial assistance to achieve your business goals, anything is possible.

Crowdfunding platforms have taken on a very special importance during the last couple of years, especially in the watch industry. While in the past an extremely large amount of capital was required, today there is an almost endless community of watch enthusiasts from all over the world who could help you make your dreams come true. The best thing about it: if watch enthusiasts like your project, many of them are willing to financially support the project before the official start of production even begins.

That’s exactly what Mr. Thierry Clottu managed to do, when he completed an impressive Kickstarter campaign in July 2016. When he successfully raised the financial means for making watches, he set about creating his own watchmaking brand, which he had been dreaming about for years.

Mr. Clottu started making his dreams come true in 2015, when he made the first sketches for his new project. As an experienced microtechnology engineer and after more than 10 years of product development experience for many well-known luxury watch brands, he decided to finally commit to his own long-awaited dream of his own watch brand.

By the way, the name “DONE Watches” has a double meaning: on the one hand, it represents the founder’s personal challenge to create a successful watch brand himself, that is, to actually do it. On the other hand, the name alludes to the region of the brand’s birth, located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland – Done in Neuchâtel.

Mr. Clottu has already successfully established three watch collections, which are called Classic, Skeleton and Automatic. The story of this unusual Swiss brand DONE watches began in 2016, with the “MECHANICA ME1A” from the Classic series, a sporty-elegant everyday watch with a small second at 9 o’clock and a beautifully decorated hand-wound caliber.

Automatic three-handers, on the other hand, are significantly more timeless, with only a classic date window at 3 o’clock and available in 40mm (men’s) and 36mm (women’s) diameters. For those who prefer something a little more extravagant on their wrist, Clottu has developed the elegant Skeleton models, which boast an open caliber and DLC coating.

I believe many of you are wondering how a DONE watches are made? From the heart of the brand, the atelier located in Cormondreche, each DONE project usually starts from a dream, an idea for which the founder of the brand feels a passionate desire or simply from one of the suggestions of DONE watches customers. The DONE team is always ready to hear new ideas and constantly study the market and put their ideas and visions on paper. In the end, the important thing is the desire for creativity, which has been successfully driving this young and visionary watch brand for years.

With more than 20 years of experience in the business, Mr. Clottu and his team have a large number of partners from a wide range of businesses who are passionate about their fields and enable them to achieve the best possible result, be it the choice of movement, finish, case or making a certain type of bracelet.

After the research phase, the DONE watches team takes action by putting all their skills at the service of the product. Thanks to the latest 3D design technologies, the DONE watches team models the watch as a whole and makes all plans in-house. Since the founder of the team and the brand itself grew up and matured in a region described as the cradle of watchmaking, this fundamental aspect of the world of watchmaking simply cannot be ignored at any time. Quality is an integral part of the Swiss DNA, be it in components, workmanship or service itself.

To ensure that the final production meets expectations, the DONE watches team conducts numerous tests. Whether it is at the design level through prototyping or in pre-production for functionality and finishing, the DONE team does everything possible to obtain impeccable quality and the DONE team will never neglect this at the expense of selling price.

In today’s fashion story, I have the great honor and pleasure to present you the newest model of the DONE watch MECHANICA B03 in a special limited edition of 50 pieces. After the great sales success of the MECHANICA B01 and MECHANICA B02 models, the DONE brand is pleased to present the MECHANICA B03 model at this year’s Time to Watches.

The MECHANICA B03 model uses the same aesthetic codes as its predecessors, but in shades
clearer and more concrete. Its silver movement brings a beautiful depth to this watch which then fully reveals its movement in complete transparency. The B03 proudly displays its case diameter of 43.8 mm with an overall thickness of 10.9 mm. Because it is extremely thin and light, trust me I forgot I had this watch on my wrist.

When I discovered this convenience, I realized that the high quality of the execution of its components stands out, both in terms of the level of construction of the case, as well as in the “in-house” manual-wound caliber itself. The founder’s main motto when creating this new DONE model was: “True beauty comes from within!”. Therefore, the new MECHANICA B03 model has the famous basic movement ETA 6497-1 due to its reliability and precision, in this model processed in a skeletonized cut of bridges and a modern design. This watch is the result of dedicated work where we obtained exceptional design results in order to harmonize the whole for a clean and timeless result.

Technical Information:

Case Diameter: 43,8mm

Case Thickness: 10,9mm

Case Material: Grade 5 Titanium

Water Resistance: 10 ATM (100m)

Crystals: Saphire, anti reflective coating

Movement: Skeleton, ETA 6497-1, hand-winding, design done in house

Today we continue the story of the ecommerce platform MYTHERESA, as well as the brands available on this platform. I believe many of you have heard about MYTHERESA shopping platform on Mr.M blog, but I would like to introduce you to this electronic fashion paradise. MYTHERESA is one of the leading global luxury e-commerce platforms operating in over 130 countries. Founded as a boutique in 1987, MYTHERESA launched online in 2006 and offers ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and accessories for women, men and children, as well as lifestyle products.

The MYTHERESA online store was founded in 2006 by Susanne and Christoph Botschen and is connected to the multi-brand store in Munich (formerly the THERESA store). In 2014, the THERESA store and mytheresa.com were acquired by the American luxury retailer Neiman Marcus for €150 million, giving Neiman Marcus greater access to international customers and strengthening their e-commerce technology.

During Neiman Marcus’ bankruptcy in 2020, the company began the process of spinning off Mytheresa as an independent entity. In January 2019, Mytheresa launched a children’s clothing category, and in January 2020, Mytheresa Men was launched. In May 2022, a new homeware and lifestyle category followed. In 2022, Mytheresa expanded its luxury offering to include home decor and lifestyle products.

The novelty they presented this year is the launch of certified second-hand watches from over 25 luxury brands, such as Audemars Piguet and Cartier, in cooperation with the Swiss jewelry and watch company Bucherer. As a global retailer, Mytheresa operates in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Korean.

In today’s post, you will see some fashion pieces from Brunello Cucinelli brand that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Fashion pieces from the Brunello Cucinelli collection are made so that they can last for seasons and years with the guarantee that you can leave something of exceptional quality to your descendants with a timeless cut that will always be fashionable. Each manufactured piece is designed so that it does not follow blind trends, but on the contrary remains its own and consistent with the style of timeless elegance and refinement. Brunello Cucinelli is a brand that cherishes the values of “quiet luxury”, that’s why you’ll never see an aggressive brand logo on their clothes, leather goods or other fashion accessories, but the design and material will tell the story for themselves.

Brunello Cucinelli is an Italian luxury fashion brand that sells menswear, womenswear and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cucinelli in 1978. Mr. Cucinelli started his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. Today, the company owns 94 of the 124 stores worldwide. A few years ago, more precisely in January 2017, the company launched its online web store.

Mr. Cucinelli controls and manages the brand through Fedone Srl. Cucinelli’s family fund owns 57% of the company’s shares, and has also set up a special fund for the benefit of his daughters, Camilla and Carolina, to guarantee the proper handover of his eponymous company. This is an inspiring fashion story about a family.

An impressive fact is that the company headquarters is located in a 14th-century castle on top of a hill in the middle of Umbria, an area known as the “green heart” of Italy. Brunello Cucinelli donates 20% of profits to its charitable foundation and pays workers wages that are 20% higher than the fashion industry average. Also interesting information is that the employees of the company have extremely flexible working hours and that e-mails are not allowed after working hours. This is one of the few fashion houses that have such good working conditions, which is commendable in today’s age of classical capitalism.

My outfit today is adorned with two pieces of clothing from the latest Brunello Cucinelli SS24 collection, which are this beautiful colorful shirt and light jeans. The shirt is something completely new and unusual than I’m used to seeing in Brunello Cucinelli collections and I especially liked this unusual combination of colors, as well as the abstract print itself, I just wanted to have a shirt like this. In addition to the interesting design, this shirt is of exceptional quality made from a combination of high-quality cotton and silk. Jeans are something I really love to wear and I usually have darker jeans, but when I saw these cropped jeans made from faded light denim I could picture myself in them. They have a lot of elastin, which is ideal for everyday activities.

Today’s fashion adventure continues with old well-known friends of Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories.

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

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

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

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

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta. 

In today’s post, I present one of the iconic Brera models. Brera is the bohemian quarter of Milan where, in the sixties of the last century, sculptors, painters and writers struggled to leave their mark with a new language and new forms. The liberal and cosmopolitan spirit was the source of inspiration for “Brera”, a moccasin with tassels, a style revolution in a country that is just rediscovering its joy of life. Brera combines different materials and colors as a true work of art. The special composition of materials and shapes makes moccasins a successful chapter in the history of Fratelli Rossetti.

Today you have the opportunity to see a special summer version of the famous Brera loafers in shades of blue, made of soft closed-weave material. Special high-quality processing and production. These moccasins have a hand-dyed leather sole. The shoes are handmade in Italy, like all other Fratelli Rossetti shoes.

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

ENVISION: Prisma, A Combination of Italian Elegance and Swiss Accuracy on Your Wrist!

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog that you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous stories. ENVISION is an interesting watch brand that is proof of Italian perfect design and Swiss precision!

Envision is an Italian brand born from the vision of its founder and designer Alessandro Bambini in the productive heart of Italy – Modena, whose passion for watchmaking leads to the creation of wristwatches made in Switzerland with highly innovative designs.

ENVISION aims not only to create watches, but also to design wearable works of art that can seamlessly integrate into the rhythm of modern life and evoke emotions even in the brief moment when we look at the time on our wrist. The ENVISION brand originates from Modena, in the productive heart of Italy, the land of elegance and innovation, with the aim of creating unique and stunning timepieces that embody the art and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

In the vast and competitive landscape of watchmaking, creating something truly unique and new is an extremely ambitious challenge. That is why every ENVISION model is the result of many years of study and research. However, that alone is not enough. Offering products with avant-garde lines without ensuring that the quality meets expectations would be a challenge lost from the start. That’s why ENVISION makes sure that every watch it creates meets the high standards they set for their brand, while ensuring timely and attentive customer support.

Today I will introduce you to Prisma, the first creation of the Envision brand that deeply embodies the vision of this exceptional Italian watch brand.

A masterful blend of Italian design and Swiss technology, Prisma represents the pinnacle of watchmaking art. Packed with a Sellita SV200-1 automatic mechanical movement tuned by the Envision team, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, a Envision Prisma Ruby ​​red dial with a sunray finish and an integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch is the perfection of luxury in every detail that will grace your wrist. This watch represents an uncompromising choice of style and precision.

The 316L stainless steel case surrounds a high-quality sapphire crystal that features a prismatic cut that captures light beautifully. Each reflection creates a play of light, color and shadow, giving the watch a unique and attractive look.

An expansive dial with a sunburst finish, applied indexes expertly crafted with alternating polished and satin finishes, and glossy dauphin hands all contribute to a unique wrist experience unlike anything we’re used to.

What adorns the Envision Prisma watch model is the innovative integrated bracelet that extends around the case. Each link, crafted with care and dedication, is a continuation of the ends of the case, encompassing the wrist until it reaches the opening clasp that subtly displays the brand’s engraving. Each component, created with care and passion, undergoes rigorous checks by the Envision expert team to ensure quality and durability.

Inside each Prisma’s case beats the Swiss automatic heart, the Sellita movement, which needs no introduction. With 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 A/h set internally by the Envision team, and a power reserve of 38 hours, it ensures Swiss reliability and precision.

In addition to Prisma Ruby Red, Envision has 3 more colors in its offer: Prisma Space Gray, Prisma Emerald Green, Prisma Sapphire Blue. In the following fashion stories, I will also introduce you to the Envision Prisma Sapphire Blue!

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.

Biagini 1968: Authenticity is the Most Elevated Form of Luxury…

Fashion Outfit Post 7 Comments

My dear fashionista, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog who come from Italy. The brand I want to introduce you to one of those luxury leather goods brands that handcraft real masterpieces from exotic leathers with great passion and love – BIAGINI 1968.

Biagini is one of those traditional Italian artisanal brands that has managed to easily develop and become recognizable throughout Europe and the world without losing its authenticity. Founded in 1968, it is a real family project in which everyone has a part of the credit for the great success because the soul of this brand is made up of people, starting with the founder Alberto Amidei, who takes care of production supervision, his wife Enza, who is in charge of quality control, and both have passed their passion on to their three children: daughter Elisa, who takes care of the company and commercial management, and Valentina, who is responsible for the development of the women’s collection, while son Luca, takes care of the management of the small leather goods department and the development of the men’s collection.

The Biagini brand is rooted in the tradition of leather craftsmanship and continues to constantly conduct thorough research into materials, which are locally produced and specially hand-painted according to the brand’s conceptual designs. In addition to respecting the heritage, the brand carries a truly contemporary creative soul. Biagini’s creative team play with geometries, such as the iconic curved lines inspired by waves, experiment with textures, be it soft hood, raw canvas, python or crocodile leather, have fun with color, exploring a palette of neutral tones as well as a palette of bright hues .

What is the story of this unusual prestigious brand of leather goods? Biagini, a brand born in Bologna in 1968, originally called “Silvano Biagini”, was acquired in 1999 by the Modenese Amidei family.

Eclectic, vibrant and timeless, this brand is evolving, introducing a men’s collection in 2009 and 2013, changing headquarters, expanding its production facilities and creating a showroom, inspired by Italian design in the 60s and 70s, a period in which the spirit of the Biagini brand received its true and true form.

The turning point for the Biagini brand was the year 2018, when the showroom in Milan was officially opened, a space in the very heart of the city, ideal for international customers who have come to love and faithfully follow the work of this brand. Two years later, in 2020, the first boutique was opened in the seaside resort of Milano Maritima. Not long after, in 2021, thanks to young management and a new creative team, there is a strong need to renew the brand, to introduce freshness and lightness, starting with the name that becomes BIAGINI. Thus begins a new story for a company from Modena that decides to reinvent itself, combining a long artisanal tradition with a new, young and contemporary look.

BIAGINI is a family story with over 40 years of work, Mr. Alberto Amidei once said: “Continuity is the greatest hope for a wonderful work that requires constancy, dedication, will and endless passion.”

The philosophy of the BIAGINI brand is based on authenticity, a passion that is in constant dialogue with craft, their connection is ancient and current that is constantly evolving.

The starting point of the BIAGINI team’s research is the material, starting with detailed research and selection of fine leather, selected from among the best Italian tanners who meet high quality standards. The most precious leathers are hand dyed, and each stage of processing takes place in accordance with international regulations and standards. The entire creative and productive process takes place in the BIAGINI laboratory in Modena, home of the brand. The ability to be present in every creative and productive phase of the product allows the company direct, easy and dynamic management.

The BIAGINI workshop becomes the scene of continuous experimentation with colors and shapes, which allow the BIAGINI team to shape unique and precious artifacts, a sincere expression of love for the art of leather goods.

In today’s fashion story, I present to you a backpack from the BIAGINI collection, the Tower Dubai model, made of the finest leather in combination with crocodile skin in a beautiful shade of cognac color. The backpack is handmade 100% “Made in Italy”. The backpack is decorated with an external pocket made of crocodile skin with a zipper. The interior of the backpack is extremely spacious and has a pocket with a zipper.

To ensure the comfort and convenience of the backpack on your back there are adjustable leather shoulder straps and a leather handle made of real crocodile skin. All metal accessories on the backpack are neutral silver. In terms of dimensions, this is a true men’s backpack of medium size, measuring: height 39 cm – length 33 cm and depth 19 cm.

I believe you are used to seeing this Italian shoe brand over the past years on the Mr.M blog which I’m sure everyone is familiar with because of their comfortable shoes that are made of the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti shoes are fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply iconic, shoes for all times! You had the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories.

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

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

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

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

Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic lines that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht, La Giusta. In today’s post, I present to you Hobo Sport shoes in soft beige color, which are made of the finest suede leather.

In today’s post I present 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 casual 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 loafers 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.

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

From Spain we will travel for a short time to Italy where we will meet an interesting watch brand that is proof of Italian perfect design and Swiss accuracy, I want to introduce you to a new brand on the Mr.M blog – ENVISION!

Envision is an Italian brand born from the vision of its founder and designer Alessandro Bambini in the productive heart of Italy – Modena, whose passion for watchmaking leads to the creation of wristwatches made in Switzerland with highly innovative designs.

ENVISION aims not only to create watches, but also to design wearable works of art that can seamlessly integrate into the rhythm of modern life and evoke emotions even in the brief moment when we look at the time on our wrist. The ENVISION brand originates from Modena, in the productive heart of Italy, the land of elegance and innovation, with the aim of creating unique and stunning timepieces that embody the art and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

In the vast and competitive landscape of watchmaking, creating something truly unique and new is an extremely ambitious challenge. That is why every ENVISION model is the result of many years of study and research. However, that alone is not enough. Offering products with avant-garde lines without ensuring that the quality meets expectations would be a challenge lost from the start. That’s why ENVISION makes sure that every watch it creates meets the high standards they set for their brand, while ensuring timely and attentive customer support.

Today I will introduce you to Prisma, the first creation of the Envision brand that deeply embodies the vision of this exceptional Italian watch brand.

A masterful blend of Italian design and Swiss technology, Prisma represents the pinnacle of watchmaking art. Packed with a Sellita SV200-1 automatic mechanical movement tuned by the Envision team, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, a Envision Prisma Ruby ​​red dial with a sunray finish and an integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch is the perfection of luxury in every detail that will grace your wrist. This watch represents an uncompromising choice of style and precision.

The 316L stainless steel case surrounds a high-quality sapphire crystal that features a prismatic cut that captures light beautifully. Each reflection creates a play of light, color and shadow, giving the watch a unique and attractive look.
