Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 4 Comments

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

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

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 one of the most interesting quiet luxury brand that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform, such as The Row.

The Row is one of the most famous American luxury fashion brands, which over time has become a true American representative of “quiet luxury fashion”. This exceptional fashion brand was founded by sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 2006. The brand produces ready-to-wear clothes, shoes, handbags and fashion accessories. The brand is headquartered in New York and the brand is currently sold in 37 countries.

How did this brand come about? The idea for the brand began as a personal project in 2005 when Ashley Olsen challenged herself to create the perfect T-shirt. She tested the design on different women of all body shapes and ages in an attempt to find “a commonality in form and attitude.” A year later, in 2006, the Olsen sisters created a 7-piece collection that included a T-shirt, a pair of cotton satin leggings, and a dress made of a special cashmere wool. This was a great start because the entire first collection was bought by the famous chain of luxury department stores in America – Barneys New York. Over time, the brand expanded its offering to ready-to-wear, handbags, sunglasses and shoes. The brand is named after Savile Row in London.

Not long after in 2008, Lauren Hutton created the brand’s first catalogue for The Row collection. The first associations with the brand are simple everyday elegance with touches of minimalist design with the use of quality materials.

The Olsen sisters started working on their brand from The Row atelier in Tribeca at 609 Greenwich Street in New York, which has been open since 2012, while the brand’s Paris office opened in 2011 and London office opened in 2019. At first, the Olsen sisters did not want their names to be associated with the brand in any way and preferred to let the clothes speak for themselves. They did not give an interview about The Row brand for the first three years after its creation.

The Row first created a menswear collection for spring 2011, and in October 2016, the brand officially launched a new menswear collection at its stores in Los Angeles and New York, with the intention of continuing to expand its offering for men.

Two years later in August 2018, The Row created a full menswear collection that included suits, denim and knits. The Olsen sisters conducted two years of research before launching the collection, which became available in stores in October 2018. During the global pandemic, in July 2020, numerous media reported that The Row had overcome financial difficulties and had laid off half of its staff, due to the financial problems caused by the pandemic and the bankruptcy of Barneys New York, one of its biggest associates. In September 2021, it was announced that The Row had launched its first children’s collection.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see two pieces from The Row‘s latest collection for spring-summer 2024, which are a silk long shirt-tunic and trousers in white. Both pieces are made of the highest quality materials and a very beautiful and simple cut, which is the basic idea of ​​the founder of the brand to achieve refined elegance with a very discreet and minimalist approach.

You can always find certain The Row pieces in a rich offer on the MYTHERESA electronic shopping platform. If you want to stay updated and find out what novelties the fashion house The Row has to offer us in the new fashion season, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Of course, the piece that every stylish woman needs and that helps you “hide” from the world when you need a break – sunglasses! Today I decided to put on my new Chopard sunglasses for the first time and I thank the Chopard team for this interesting little token of attention, there are many more to come soon and I look forward to the new fashion season to reveal more details to you.

If you want to stay updated and find out what novelties the Chopard Maison has to offer us for the new fashion season, follow this prestigious Swiss Maison of jewelry, watches and fashion accessories on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

The jewelry I wear always has a special story and that’s why I like to wear it. I received these earrings almost 50 years ago from my late mother for my 18th birthday. These earrings belonged to my grandmother, then my mother and she gave them to me. When I wear them I always think of my mom who was an extremely brave, strong and wise woman. These earrings have no particular material value, but for me they have an incredibly high sentimental value because I received them from the woman who brought me into this world, raised me and always provided strength and inspiration in the most important periods of my life.

Since all my family members, and especially Marko, know that I am a big lover of pearls, he brought me this beautiful pearl necklace from one of his trips, which I like to wear often, and I decided to show it to you today.

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

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

Best Regards,

Rose

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Valentino, True Femininity and Unique Elegance…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 6 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new summer fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog this season.

In today’s post, you will see some fashion pieces from brands that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform, such as: Valentino and Tory Burch.

Valentino is one of the most famous Italian luxury fashion houses founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and is part of the Valentino Fashion Group. Since October 2008, the creative director has been Pierpaolo Piccioli, together with Maria Grazia Chiuri from 2008 to 2016, Mr. Piccioli left Valentino this year. The headquarters of the company is in Milan, while the creative team and workshop are located in the heart of Italy in the eternal city – Rome.

Valentino was founded in 1960, when Mr. Garavani opened a fashion house in Via Condotti, Rome with the support of his father and his father’s associate Giancarlo Giammetti. Two years later, Valentino’s international debut took place in 1962 in Florence, the Italian capital of fashion at the time. Valentino gained popularity in 1967 after releasing his “colorless” collection which consisted of white, beige and ivory clothing. The collection did not use any psychedelic patterns, which was a commonly used design during the time. The V logo was also introduced and years later the brand spread to New York. This brand organized the first menswear show at Milan Fashion Week in 1985.

Interestingly, Valentino also specially designed wedding dresses for Elizabeth Taylor, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Sophie Hunter, Nicola Peltz and Princess Madeleine of Sweden.

The dress you see in today’s fashion story is a piece from the Valentino SS24 collection and is made of the finest pure silk. As a woman in her prime, I’ve had the opportunity to wear a variety of designer and lesser-known creations, but this dress holds a special place in my heart because of the unusual stripes and of course the inevitable neutral beige color that I adore. The dress is midi length with slits with slightly formed sleeves that fall loosely.

You can always find certain Valentino pieces in a rich offer on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform. If you want to stay up to date and find out what new items the Valentino Maison has prepared for us this fashion season, follow this incredible fashion house on Facebook and Instagram.

OUTFIT

Dress: VALENTINO via MYTHERESA

Necklace: Bvlgari (vintage)

Bag: DAMIAAN

Belt: Chanel (vintage)

Bracelet: A piece from a personal collection

Ballet Flats: Tory Burch via MYTHERESA

Today we continue the story of an unusual Belgian brand of luxury leather goods that combines refined simplicity and unbridled fantasy in the creation of its fantastic bags – DAMIAAN. In the previous story, you had the opportunity to meet their Snakebag model, and today I want to take the opportunity to introduce you to their other famous bag model that I mentioned in the previous post – The Bootbag.

DAMIAAN is a new luxury Belgian leather goods brand, created by Christina Zeller and Damian O’Sullivan in 2022. With refined simplicity and unbridled fantasy, their creations have surprised and seduced clients across Europe through elegant eccentricity. Driven by their imagination and passion for leather goods, this creative duo pushes the boundaries of the possible, respecting the rigor of the craft and maintaining the greatest degree of artistic freedom.

An unusual combination of traditional form with bold imagination, DAMIAAN presents a collection of bags that bring an unusual blend of refined and simple elegance and grace combined with a unique imagination without limits. The current collection of the DAMIAAN brand consists of two models of bags: Snakebag and Bootbag, this collection is inextricably linked to the imaginary world of surrealism.

Through its first collection, DAMIAAN begins a new creative journey where each bag will carry its own story to tell together with you. I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to the creators of this amazing brand of leather goods. Damian O’Sullivan, after graduating from the Royal College of Art, he knocked on luxury fashion heaven where he was met by the then director of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, who immediately liked his designs. This fairytale beginning launched a creative journey that would see him design a monumental tower in London for Thames Water, as well as helping Anish Kapoor build his epic water sculpture ‘Decension’. His career was also marked by moments such as designing shoes for Asics and Camper and many porcelain creations for Royal Delft, Rosenthal and Vista Alegre.

For the past fifteen years, he has worked for the famous French houses Hermès and Louis Vuitton, designing tableware, leather goods and home accessories. After thirty years, Damian returns to his very first love – creating unique bags. You must be wondering, why bags? Although it may not be the oldest profession in the world, bag making goes back millennia. Practical and useful then and now, these days, bags are expected to carry stories, and those are the stories that DAMIAAN wants to tell.

Having earned a master’s degree in journalism, Christina Zeller was not destined for her professional career. On the runway as a model at the age of 23, she discovered the world of fashion, which she has never left since. She worked for the biggest fashion houses and designers in France and Belgium. Karl Lagerfeld gave her wings, boldness, fantasy and the privilege to experiment. Working with Christian Lacroix, she learned the rigor of research that always seeks the exceptional and never settles for second best. Her close collaboration with Riccardo Tisci led to the development of all his fashion accessories. Enriched and emboldened by this experience, she joined Delvaux in 2011, where she spent nine years at the helm of the creative, marketing and communications department, contributing to the brand’s luster and brilliance. She once stated: “I have always worked with passion and I was lucky enough to start each day with a smile. With DAMIAAN, I have come full circle and I can feel all the emotions and excitement as if it were the first time.”

The bag you see in today’s fashion story is the Bootbag, which is made in Italy, bringing together two separate crafts: boots and bag making. Exceptional skills are required in making this sophisticated handbag model, where one craftsman works hand in hand with another to make the bag look its best. The Bootbag will have you wandering around impervious to all the elements, and its leather sole will withstand even the occasional puddle or two you encounter. Stranded or carried by your hand in the air, the Bootbag isn’t afraid to bare its sole. This bag model is made in one size and there are several price variations.

The Bootbag is only available in medium size and you can choose from several color combinations. I decided on this Bootbag chocolate brown – burgundy color combination that fits perfectly with my style.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new products DAMIAAN has prepared for us this fashion season, follow this unusual Belgian brand of luxury leather goods on Facebook and Instagram.

The necklace you see in today’s story caught your attention in one of the previous stories, so I wanted to show it to you in this elegant version with the dress. For those who haven’t read in the previous story, I got this necklace from my husband as a gift for our 30th wedding anniversary, I remember that we all went as a family to the capital of Italy – Rome to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our children. On the first day while walking around the main street for shopping, I spotted this necklace and told my daughter how beautiful and unusual it was, then we continued our walk.

My daughter conveyed my findings to father and they made a plan to buy the necklace. I was shocked and positively surprised when the next day at dinner when we celebrated our wedding anniversary I saw the Bvlgari bag and as I needed time to compose myself, Marko unwrapped the box and put the necklace around my neck. I wore this necklace several times during the celebration of important events in our family and today I am sharing this memory with you.

The bracelet was given to my son from one of his long trips where he found this unusual bracelet in real 24k gold with dark brown enamel details at a jewelry store. What is special about this bracelet is the clasp itself in the shape of two giraffes in love, which is actually the best part of this unusual bracelet. It’s been a few years since I received this wonderful gift, but today I put it on for the first time and I think I did the right thing.

Since you are all familiar with the fact that I am a big and passionate lover of flat shoes, especially ballet flats, for today’s post I decided to show you my new Tory Burch patent ballet flats. As for the color of these ballet flats, it’s a separate story because I saw in the catalog that they were marked as plums color, while in person they are some unusual colors, to me they look like dark brown and that’s how I will combine them. 🙂

They are very comfortable and elegant with the distinctive logo of the brand. Honestly, I’m so happy and will be happy to wear them in all seasons! Certain models of clothes, shoes and fashion accessories from the Tory Burch collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA eCommerce shopping platform.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new products Tory Burch has prepared for us this fashion season, follow the brand on Facebook and Instagram.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of another summer fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty and brilliance of Italian fashion with the cult fashion house Valentino, an unusual combination of leather goods creation and fantasy with DAMIAAN, as well as the beauty of flat shoes with Tory Burch in collaboration with the MYTHERESA e-commerce shopping platform, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal summer outfit!

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Fratelli Rossetti reinventing the Rules of Feminine Elegance

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

We start today’s fashion adventure with old well-known friends of Mr.M blog – Fratelli Rossetti. This Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone recognizes for their comfortable shoes that are made from the highest quality materials Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply unbeatable, shoes for all time!

The story of the Fratelli Rossetti company is an inspiring story of a successful Italian family business that opened its doors in 1953.

Dress: IKKS

Earrings: Vintage earrings from personal collection

Bucket Bag: Fratelli Rossetti

Slippers: Fratelli Rossetti

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you want to stay updated and find out what all the novelties IKKS has to offer us this fashion season, follow this French fashion house on Facebook and Instagram.

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

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

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

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

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Brunello Cucinelli, Baby Blue is the Color of the Season…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 8 Comments

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

This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring. Honestly, I didn’t expect my writing to be such a success. I have to admit that your messages have given me extra strength to carry on through the difficult period after the surgery in Egypt and to get back to blogging again.

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 brands that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform, such as: Brunello Cucinelli and FERRAGAMO.

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, namely this beautiful baby blue jacket and trousers. In addition to the cut, colors and quality of the material, I was also delighted by the length of this baby blue blazer, which is ideal for all occasions, from going to work, to performing daily duties in the city, and for going to some more festive events of a different character. In addition to the blazer, the other piece that simply delighted me are these trousers, which contain a high percentage of silk and of course the most important thing is the fantastic baby blue color that goes with absolutely everything.

All of you who follow my fashion stories know that I am a big fan of quality and interesting shoes and I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as footwear. Today I want to introduce you to an Italian brand whose footwear models I adore and so far you have had the opportunity to see some of their famous models in Marko’s fashion stories on the Mr.M blog.

Salvatore Ferragamo, rebranded in September 2022 as Ferragamo is a luxury Italian fashion house based in Florence. Specializing in the design and manufacture of footwear and leather goods, the remaining products include ready-to-wear, silk products, fashion accessories and licensed eyewear, watches and perfumes.

The company was founded in 1927 by Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. The Ferragamo family remained the majority shareholder with approximately 65% ​​of the company. The news is that the British designer Maximilian Davis has been appointed as the creative director of the fashion house Ferragamo from March 2022. There is a rule that only three members of the Ferragamo family can work in the company, to avoid creating a sense of fierce competition.

These Ferragamo Varina ballet flats are made of the highest quality patent leather in red. You can also find these ballet flats on the MYTHERESA platform.

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

DAMIAAN: A Brand that combines Refined Simplicity and An Unbridled Fantasy…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 8 Comments

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

This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring. Honestly, I didn’t expect my writing to be such a success. I have to admit that your messages have given me extra strength to carry on through the difficult period after the surgery in Egypt and to get back to blogging again.

Today I have the great honor and pleasure to introduce you to an unusual new Belgian brand of luxury leather goods that combines refined simplicity and an unbridled fantasy in the creation of its fantastic bags – DAMIAAN.

DAMIAAN is a new luxury Belgian leather goods brand, created by Christina Zeller and Damian O’Sullivan in 2022. With refined simplicity and unbridled fantasy, their creations have surprised and seduced clients across Europe through elegant eccentricity. Driven by their imagination and passion for leather goods, this creative duo pushes the boundaries of the possible, respecting the rigor of the craft and maintaining the greatest degree of artistic freedom.

An unusual combination of traditional form with bold imagination, DAMIAAN presents a collection of bags that bring an unusual blend of refined and simple elegance and grace combined with a unique imagination without limits. The current collection of the DAMIAAN brand consists of two models of bags: Snakebag and Bootbag, this collection is inextricably linked to the imaginary world of surrealism.

Through its first collection, DAMIAAN begins a new creative journey where each bag will carry its own story to tell together with you. I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to the creators of this amazing brand of leather goods. Damian O’Sullivan, after graduating from the Royal College of Art, he knocked on luxury fashion heaven where he was met by the then director of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, who immediately liked his designs. This fairytale beginning launched a creative journey that would see him design a monumental tower in London for Thames Water, as well as helping Anish Kapoor build his epic water sculpture ‘Decension’. His career was also marked by moments such as designing shoes for Asics and Camper and many porcelain creations for Royal Delft, Rosenthal and Vista Alegre.

For the past fifteen years, he has worked for the famous French houses Hermès and Louis Vuitton, designing tableware, leather goods and home accessories. After thirty years, Damian returns to his very first love – creating unique bags. You must be wondering, why bags? Although it may not be the oldest profession in the world, bag making goes back millennia. Practical and useful then and now, these days, bags are expected to carry stories, and those are the stories that DAMIAAN wants to tell.

Having earned a master’s degree in journalism, Christina Zeller was not destined for her professional career. On the runway as a model at the age of 23, she discovered the world of fashion, which she has never left since. She worked for the biggest fashion houses and designers in France and Belgium. Karl Lagerfeld gave her wings, boldness, fantasy and the privilege to experiment. Working with Christian Lacroix, she learned the rigor of research that always seeks the exceptional and never settles for second best. Her close collaboration with Riccardo Tisci led to the development of all his fashion accessories. Enriched and emboldened by this experience, she joined Delvaux in 2011, where she spent nine years at the helm of the creative, marketing and communications department, contributing to the brand’s luster and brilliance. She once stated: “I have always worked with passion and I was lucky enough to start each day with a smile. With DAMIAAN, I have come full circle and I can feel all the emotions and excitement as if it were the first time.”

In today’s fashion story, I present to you the Snakebag model that is made in France and its classic crescent design belies its clever construction. How else would you get a writhing snake to hold a bag while holding its tongue? The almost invisible seams require exceptional craftsmanship, which our craftsmen have perfected through trials and tribulations to maintain the allure and mystery of their sinuous tail. As real as the snake looks, if you are afraid of snakes you don’t have to shy away because this charming snake will brighten your day!

Snakebag comes in two sizes: small and medium. This model can be found in several color combinations. The decision was difficult, but I decided on a white Snakebag with black details.

Another interesting model in the DAMIAAN collection is the Bootbag, which is made in Italy, bringing together two separate crafts: boots and bag making. Exceptional skills are required in making this sophisticated handbag model, where one craftsman works hand in hand with another to make the bag look its best. The Bootbag will have you wandering around impervious to all the elements, and its leather sole will withstand even the occasional puddle or two you encounter. Stranded or carried by your hand in the air, the Bootbag isn’t afraid to bare its sole. This bag model is made in one size and there are several price variations.

The second brand that I want to introduce you to today comes to us from France and I am sure that many of you have at least one of their creations in your wardrobe – IKKS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every outfit looks more interesting and chic with the Poppy Red Double-Breasted Blazer. This blazer has a modern cut with two side pockets with flaps, long sleeves. This blazer features an exclusive IKKS jacquard lining with skull motifs. The blazer has a double breasted, button fastening and a straight fit.

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 an interesting piece from the latest women’s Loro Piana Spring – Summer 2024 collection, which is just a small part of my favorites this season because of its distinctive elegance and my love for bright colors. The white colored trousers are perfect for all occasions and extremely easy to match with other colors, they are made of silk.

If you want to stay updated and find out which pieces the Loro Piana fashion house has to offer us this fashion season, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Regarding the story about the jewelry, I got the necklace from my husband as a gift for our 30th wedding anniversary, I remember that we all went to the capital of Italy – Rome as a family to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our children. On the first day while walking around the main street for shopping, I spotted this necklace and told my daughter how beautiful and unusual it was, then we continued our walk. The daughter conveyed my findings to her father and they made a plan to buy the necklace. I was shocked and positively surprised when I saw the Bvlgari shopping bag at dinner the next day when we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and as I needed time to compose myself, Marko unwrapped the box and put the necklace around my neck. I wore this necklace several times during the celebration of important events in our family and today I am sharing this memory with you.

On the other hand, I bought the Cartier earrings when I went on a press media trip with Marko to Qatar last year and I couldn’t resist them. These are my go-to iconic earrings for all time, unique and will be trendy this season as well as seasons to come.

I got the brooch as a gift from my dear friends from the fashion house Max Mara and I think it is now on sale, Marko just told me that he saw it in Berlin a few days ago, so he told me the interesting thing is that it is on a seasonal discount.

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Luisa Spagnoli, dive into the Fashion Garden of Femininity and Italian Style!

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad that you like my take on fashion and that I inspire many women in their prime to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives. Today I will try my best to present you some new fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe.

This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring, since my son regularly reads all your emails with numerous questions about fashion. Honestly, I didn’t expect my writing to be such a success. I have to admit that your messages have given me extra strength and energy to continue through the difficult period after the surgery in Egypt and to get back to blogging again.

Today I have the great honor and pleasure to present to you a timeless brand built by a woman who has dedicated her life to creating elegant wardrobes and leather goods for women. I am convinced that many young women and ladies in their prime have once heard and encountered the pure and incredible elegance and refinement of the Italian fashion house Luisa Spagnoli.

How did this magnificent Italian brand come about? Mrs. Luisa Sargentini Spagnoli, born in 1877, in Perugia, was one of the most famous Italian businesswomen of her time, known for creating the brand of a women’s clothing factory.

Mrs. Spagnoli, together with Giovanni Buitoni, created the small company Perugina based in the historic center of Perugia. Perugina initially started with 15 employees. With the outbreak of the First World War when the men had to go to the front, Mrs. Spagnoli was left to do the work alone with her three children, including two sons Mario and Aldo, taking care of them alone.

After the war, the Perugino factory grew to more than 100 employees. Not long after, in 1922, a brand of Italian chocolates called Baci (which means “Kisses” in Italian) was created. By 1939, her Baci Perugina brand of chocolate was so successful that it reached other countries, including the US. The famous Italian Baci chocolate conquered the world with its original recipe that has not changed since day one.

After the end of the war, Luisa founded a new enterprise that was engaged in the breeding of poultry and angora rabbits. She came up with the idea of ​​using angora yarn to make knitted boleros and modern clothing items, she put her idea into action in 1928 when she trademarked her idea l’Angora Spagnoli. Her innovation was presented at the Fiera di Milano exhibition, and the company’s activities soon expanded. Unfortunately, since she was diagnosed with throat cancer, Mrs. Spagnoli was unable to witness and enjoy the growth of her company, which began about four years later under the leadership of her son Mario. Mr. Giovanni Buitoni moved her to Paris to receive the best medical care and stayed with her until her death in Paris in 1935 at the age of 58.

After her death, son Mario shifted her company from fine crafts to a more industrialized focus in 1937. He is credited with the invention of the comb for collecting wool and the clamp for tattooing angora rabbits, which were patented in 1942. Later, in 1947, Mario built the Citta dell’angora (which translates to the city of Angora) factory, located in the center of the growing community. In the 1960s, he founded the Citta della Domenica playground, originally called Spagnolia, which is still a destination for visitors today. Under the leadership of Mario’s son Hannibal, entrepreneur and president of Perugia Calcio, production diversified and the family created a network of Luisa Spagnoli brand stores. There are now more than 100 stores worldwide, and the company still has its headquarters in Perugia today.

From the first fashion show in the official calendar of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (National Chamber of Italian Fashion) in 2021 to the creation of CLUB LUISA, today the brand looks to the future through the concept of contemporary elegance, perfect for all occasions. Club Luisa is a phygital concept and offers customers the opportunity to feel part of the brand’s digital and international in-store activities. Today, Luisa Spagnoli is moving towards the future faster than ever, without losing her identity.

My outfit today is made up of 3 pieces from the new Luisa Spagnoli Spring/Summer 2024 collection: a leather coat/suede overshirt, a turtleneck and trousers.

The leather coat/overshirt is an extraordinary piece that is made of the highest quality suede leather, camel color. Very light and easy to fit, in a word a “timeless” piece for all times that you can wear today and for decades to come. Fashion is a closed circle, that’s why all trends come back sometimes, while elegant and refined things are always in trend!

The beige sleeveless turtleneck is one of my favorite pieces this season because I’m a big fan of turtlenecks. Roller skates can be worn all year round, it’s just important to choose an adequate material for each season separately. This roll is made of a special silk hand-woven thread and is very comfortable to wear during the warmer days of the year, there is no fear of sweating because the silk thread is an excellent material, comfortable and the skin can breathe. In addition, this roll has no sleeves, so you can always wear it under a jacket or a light jacket.

Finally, there is the new model of Luisa Spagnoli trousers with wide legs, which are back again in glamorous splendor this fashion season! The trousers are also made of silk. Beige color is always the best ally for all clothing combinations due to its exceptional compatibility with all colors.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see a bag model that I honestly love to carry every day because it can fit absolutely everything I imagine in it – Fendi Sunshine. This medium-sized Fendi bag is crafted from leather, with a FENDI ROMA appliqué with python-print elaphic lettering and sturdy tortoiseshell-effect Plexiglas handles. Features a roomy interior compartment, tonal trim on toned leather, and gold-finish metal hardware. It can be carried by hand or on the shoulder thanks to two handles and a detachable shoulder strap. Note on the strap, this strap with metallic letters is purchased separately, as purchasing the bag gives you the strap without the metallic gold FENDI letters.

Since you are all familiar with the fact that I am a big and passionate lover of flat shoes, especially ballet flats, for today’s post I decided to show you my new Tory Burch patent ballet flats. As for the color of these ballet flats, it’s a separate story because I saw in the catalog that they were marked as plums color, while in person they are some unusual colors, to me they look like dark brown and that’s how I will combine them. 🙂

They are very comfortable and elegant with the distinctive logo of the brand. Honestly, I’m so happy and will be happy to wear them in all seasons! Certain models of clothes, shoes and fashion accessories from the Tory Burch collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA eCommerce shopping platform.

In addition to elegant and refined clothes, I always like to wear pearls, which have always been a timeless fashion classic. My outfit today was enriched by a pearl necklace from the famous Macedonian brand Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928. My neck is adorned with very elegant two-row pearl necklace necklace with filigree and baroque pearl.

The Filevi family is a family that has been producing Ohrid pearls since 1928, which is confirmed by historical facts and numerous institutions. The secret of making Ohrid pearls is still one of the most closely guarded secrets of this family, which combines pearls into creative pearl necklaces and bracelets, and has been passed down from generation to generation for the fourth generation.

When we talk about pearl, we always think of the pearl that is in the shell, but the Ohrid pearl is much more than that and has a more specific way of production. It is extremely important to note that there are only two families in Ohrid who know the secret of making the famous Ohrid pearl.

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

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

Today, my neck is adorned with a filigree pearl necklace, a locket containing a baroque pearl. Probably many of you are wondering what is filigree? Filigree is one of the most beautiful metalworking techniques. This technique has been used throughout the centuries to produce extremely high-quality and valuable jewelry as well as decorative items that we still admire today. In order to make a decorative item or jewelry using this technique, silver, gold, and less often copper wire is used to compose the motif. Threads of wire are bent and interlaced, tied together and thus a complex motif is formed that can be placed on a metal base or completely free. Circles, flowers, and geometric patterns were made from filigree wire. Small metal balls were sometimes placed on objects made in this way.

You can find the amazing and refined Filevi 1928 collection of Ohrid pearls and jewelry with classic, marquise and rhodium silver in the center of Belgrade (Serbia), at Knez Mihailova 29, in the passage next to the Progress Gallery.

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

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of another spring fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty and splendor of Italian fashion with the iconic fashion house Luisa Spagnoli, the impermanence of pearls with the Ohrid Pearl Filevi 1928, the elegance and prestige of elegance with the luxurious Italian brand FENDI, as and the beauty of flat shoes with Tory Burch in collaboration with MYTHERESA eCommerce shopping platform, partners with whom fashion stories are a real challenge. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal spring outfit!

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

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

Best Regards,

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Brunello Cucinelli, Fine Italian Craftsmanship Meets Refined Elegance…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad that you like my take on fashion and that I inspire many women in their prime to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives. Today I will try my best to present you some new fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe.

This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring, since my son regularly reads all your emails with questions about fashion. Honestly, I didn’t expect my writing to be such a success. I have to admit that your messages have given me extra strength and energy to continue through this difficult period and to get back to blogging again.

A few days ago, my son read me a couple of emails with questions about how I define elegance and refinement. The answer to that question is not simple, it’s a bit more complex because the true definition of elegance and refinement comes with age, sometimes I like to say that elegance is a journey of life. Elegance and refinement simply cannot be molded, there are no specific “fashion shackles” because everyone will experience these two terms in their own unique way.

Today I have the great honor and pleasure to present to you a timeless iconic brand that has laid some basic foundations since its inception and at the same time has become a symbol of elegance and refinement, and that is the Italian fashion house Brunello Cucinelli. When someone mentions this brand, I believe that many are aware that it is a luxury Italian fashion brand that has conquered the fashion scene with its quality materials and exceptional simplicity of cuts.

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.

OUTFIT

Blazer: Brunello Cucinelli

Trousers: Brunello Cucinelli

Bag: Michael Kors

Sunglasses: Linda Farrow

Brooch: A vintage piece from a personal collection

Sneakers: Lanvin

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, namely this beautiful linen jacket and trousers. They say that wisdom is the gift of life when you don’t need it anymore and I learned that linen is an extremely difficult material to maintain and I always avoided it, but when I felt the linen quality of this blazer that you can see on me, I admit that I became a big fan of linen and after so many years i have included linen clothes in my wardrobe. In addition to the cut, colors and quality of the material, I was also delighted by the length of this blazer, which is ideal for all occasions, from going to work, to performing daily duties in the city, and for going to some more festive events of a different character. In addition to the blazer, the other piece that simply delighted me are these pants, which contain a high percentage of silk and of course the most important thing is the fantastic color that goes with absolutely everything.

Now we come to the part where I will explain to you a classic example of compulsive shopping, I believe almost every woman will find herself in my example. I went with my family on vacation to New York and while walking along the avenues, I came across a glittering window display of the famous American brand Michael Kors. In the central part of the window, there was this bag, if I remember correctly, the model was called “Ring” because of the shape of its handle. Of course, I didn’t think much and simply invited the whole family to a wonderful family gathering in the shop, as always I won and this was just the beginning of my craziness.

When I entered the store, I noticed that special section with bags and fashion details made of exotic skins and like any woman, I fell in love at first sight. Since I belong to the generation that has to complete everything, I found ballet flats, a belt and a wallet with my bag… I didn’t think much, I bought everything and then I didn’t have money for anything else. To make the tragedy worse, I haven’t worn this bag for years because I lost interest in it because it didn’t fit with my fashion pieces because the color is specific and requires a woman to have an adequate outfit. I wore all the other pieces, except the bag, until today, I think it’s been more than 10 years… It’s a pain for us women, who just want everything at the moment, we don’t think rationally, we experience a blackout of the mind in the store and we get carried away by desire. Well, who knows, maybe this bag has a bright future in fashion because you never know when I’ll decide to carry it again.

This brooch that you see in today’s post, as well as the button (converted from a brooch) are pieces of jewelry that I inherited from my mother. All the things I got from my mom have a great sentimental value for me, and after so many years, every time I look at those pieces, I remember some beautiful precious memories from my youth, as well as the many activities I happily filled my time with. Somehow even today after so much time, I always have the feeling that all those dear people are close to me, even though they are not physically with us.

Now we come to the most interesting piece of this outfit – sneakers! I’m one of those women who simply didn’t wear sneakers in my life, somehow I always ran away from them and somehow, in my opinion, sneakers were more for performing sports activities or for some long walks in nature. Even when I was a girl, I never wore sneakers, I always attached more importance to other types of footwear.

When I got a collaboration with the French fashion house Lanvin, as always my son and his team are there to solve those doubts, I’m here to choose something to my taste that I think I can express in the right way. I chose the agreed number of products, but I got a shock when the package arrived. I thought it was a mistake, but my son told me that I have to learn to get out of my comfort zone and adapt in my own way.

I have to admit that at first I didn’t give the sneakers a chance, I didn’t even know what they looked like anymore because I didn’t take them out of the bags but felt the shape, realized that they were sneakers and thought it was a mistake. What exactly made me give these sneakers a chance?

As I felt let down at the moment, my son asked me if I had looked at the sneakers by any chance, I admitted that I had not and gave myself a few days to recover from the shock. One morning while drinking coffee, I saw a box and decided to look at them anyway. I was interested in the fact that they are made of python and that they are not classic sneakers but have a particularly elegant note. I wanted to put them on and I realized that they are very comfortable and unusual. After that I remembered a Michael Kors bag in a similar color and got the idea for this outfit that you have the opportunity to see on the blog today.

What is the story of this famous French brand? 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 photo 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 a mother and daughter, I think the logo is 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 of real python skin in combo with suede leather. This model exists in various variations and combinations of materials and each sneaker is unique and unusual.

Of course, the piece that every stylish woman needs and that helps you “hide” from the world when you need a break – glasses! I “accidentally” found these glasses in the house, I liked the golden effect of the mirror and had to try them on. I immediately remembered my college days and decided to “borrow” them.

These sunglasses are from my son, who was lovely so I got them as a gift and now I love wearing them. It is the British eyewear brand Linda Farrow, which has really interesting models of sunglasses and optical frames.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new models of optical and sunglasses frames Linda Farrow has has prepared for us this fashion season, follow this eyewear brand on the social network Instagram.

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

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: Why Everyone Still Loves Dior?

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 9 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad that you like my take on fashion and that I inspire many women in their prime to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives. Today I will try my best to present you some new fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe.

I start today’s post with the answer to the question that you could read in the very title of this post. There is one very good reason why fashion lovers still love this undisputed French brand of luxury high “haute couture” fashion – Christian Dior, better known today as the rebranded DIOR. My task today was to create an unusual, extraordinary, minimalists and at the same time refined fashion outfit with the MYTHERESA shopping platform.

Dior is one of the few fashion houses that is based on the ideals of feminine beauty and classic, timeless fashion, over the decades it has evolved into an unusual bold, feminist and powerful design, which has remained somehow true to its roots. In today’s post, I will try to write you a little more about the history of Dior and how this French brand grew into what it is today.

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 brands that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform, such as: DIOR, Roger Vivier, Max Mara and Cartier.

Let’s go back to the brand that is the subject of today’s fashion story. Dior as a French brand, dating back to the 1940s, provides fashion lovers around the world with some of the most beautiful garments, be it cocktail ready-to-wear or haute couture gowns on the red carpet or luxurious everyday pieces that are sure to catch the eye of everyone who they see you. This timeless brand has also stood the test of time, evolving with each creative leader who has passed through its doors. The fashion house has hosted some of the most incredible talent in the industry and I firmly believe it will continue to do so for years to come.

When and where did the fashion adventure called Christian Dior begin? Although it was unofficially created in 1946, the Dior brand states in its data that 1947 is the year of its beginning, because that is when the first collection of the fashion house debuted. Christian Dior launched the brand in Paris with a shop at the famous 30 Avenue Montaigne street. An interesting fact is that it took less than three months from the creation of the brand to present the first collection on February 12, 1947.

Mr. Dior had a deep love and respect for art and ran an art gallery in France before entering fashion. After closing his gallery during the Great Depression, he worked for fashion designer Robert Piguet and then-couture designer Lucien Lelong. Dior was still willing to have his work shown, which led him to create his own fashion house in 1946, and Christian Dior was born.

Soon, Dior became a globally famous fashion brand. He opened a store on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York in 1948, making Dior’s first official entry into the American market. With the global launch came an expanded collection. Dior started with his fragrance notes, introducing Miss Dior, which he dedicated to his sister. It was around this time that Dior realized that his brand needed to provide an overall fashion experience in order to continue his conceptual vision and change the design of his brand.

Every Dior customer could have coats, shoes, hats and every other piece necessary to fully capture the new “fashion wave” from head to toe. The Dior brand continued to grow, and Dior himself continued to dress the biggest stars of the time. He even created the famous Marlene Dietrich for her role in the 1950 Alfred Hitchcock film “Stage Fright”. His creations remained a permanent part of her wardrobe, like many other divas of the late 40s and early 50s of the last century.

OUTFIT

Ballet Flats: Roger Vivier via MYTHERESA

Christian Dior died in 1957 as a result of a massive heart attack at the age of 52. The entire fashion world mourned the loss of an industry icon who disappeared from the fashion scene too soon. To maintain the soul of the brand after Dior’s death, Mr. Yves Saint Laurent (Yves Saint Laurent) took on the role of artistic director of the brand. The 21-year-old continued Dior’s legacy, largely keeping the original creative vision intact. However, he sought to bring the brand to a softer silhouette, loosening the cinched waists and dropping some of the structure. The new collections were once unfailingly hit or miss as the industry scrambled to find someone else to lead the Christian Dior brand. When Yves Saint Laurent was called up to serve in the French army in 1960, he was released from the brand.

What is the story of the Lady Dior bag? This star of the French fashion house Dior was born in 1995, this bag first appeared on the hand of Lady Diana, Princess of Wales on her trip to Paris. Before that moment, this Dior bag didn’t have a name, but because of the historic moment with this bag on her hand, it got the perfect name: Lady Dior.

This bag is a testament to the exceptional taste in the Dior ateliers, the Lady Dior bag is a continuation of Christian Dior’s heritage, each element is carefully crafted, in line with the heritage of the house. The metal pendants that fall from the belt are inspired by the amulets he loved so much, and the signature stitching is familiar from the Napoleon III chairs that guests of Dior runway shows would sit on: a thread of history runs through each one.

The Lady Dior bag you see in today’s post is a mini version and is made of genuine python leather in pastel brown-gold tones with gold metallic details.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new products DIOR has to offer us this SS24 fashion season, follow this fashion house on Facebook and Instagram.

Of course, the fashion statement piece that every stylish woman needs and that helps you “hide” from the world when you need a break – sunglasses! This famous Panthère de Cartier sunglasses model is a timeless model, a piece that can be passed down to generations to come! I would like to thank the MYTHERESA team for the wonderful gift.

Certain models of optical frames and sunglasses from the Cartier collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Another nice fashion novelty that I received from the MYTHERESA team are these beautiful Roger Vivier ballet flats. Roger Henri Vivier was a French fashion designer who specialized in shoes. He is best known for creating the modern stiletto heel and for placing a chrome buckle on the elegant black high heel shoe, which became a must-have fashion accessory for many celebrities and stars of the 50s and 60s. He named his brand after himself – Roger Vivier. Italian fashion group Tod’s SpA has acquired luxury brand Roger Vivier, adding the label credited with creating the heel.

Some models of shoes and fashion accessories – bags from the Roger Vivier collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Fashion-conscious women sometimes want to create the impression that they are a bit naughty or frivolous, thus showing the world that they are both fashionable and carefree. This diamond encrusted lizard brooch is a perfect example of jewelry produced during the Victorian Aesthetic Period. Crafted in 18K gold with shell-cut diamonds, it has a lovely curve, giving the piece quite the feel as if it’s ready to jump right onto your shoulder and join you for a dazzling stroll around town! I bought it a long time ago, maybe 20 years ago, in an old jewelry store in London. The jeweler had a wonderful display full of brooches from the animal kingdom and I just had to buy it.

Another piece of jewelry is pearls, which I simply adore. In collaboration with YOKO London leading luxury pearl jeweler. The brand, founded in 1973, has evolved over three generations of the Hakimian family. Their insatiable team travels the world to source the world’s finest pearls, many of which boast unique natural colors and exceptional sizes. Their talented designers and artisans work together in their London workshop to create pieces that follow all the trends in the jewelry world, combining contemporary aesthetics with timeless elegance.

Each pearl is hand-selected for each design, and the creations are intricately crafted to celebrate the stunning beauty of these precious gems. Their dedicated team has been known to spend up to a year finding a single pearl that is perfect in size, color and quality to complete a design.

This classic pearl necklace features a striking string of 6mm Japanese Akoya pearls attached to an 18k yellow gold ball clasp. A timeless piece, this necklace will add a touch of glamor to any outfit it’s paired with. Each pearl is perfectly matched and hand strung by experts in the UK.

Max Mara is a world famous Italian fashion brand. It was founded in 1951 in Reggio Emilia by Mr. Achille Maramotti. This legendary brand sponsors and awards the Max Mara Women’s Art Award. Achille Maramotti began creating wardrobes in 1947, and officially founded the Max Mara fashion house in 1951. How did the brand name come about?

The second word of the brand – “Mara” was derived from Mr. Maramotti surname, while “Max” referred to Count Max, a local legend, who was rarely sober, but always so classy and stylish! Mr. Maramotti was one of the first to see that the future of women’s fashion lay in the mass production of designer quality clothing. He also wanted to put his Max Mara brand at the top in front of the names of individual designers, although he hired Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez and Anne Marie Beretta. The company is still in the hands of the family and is one of the best family fashion businesses in the world.

The Max Mara group has 35 brands in its fashion empire, of which the Max Mara brand remains the heart of the company to this day. Other brands include Sportmax, Sportmax Code, Weekend Max Mara, Marella, Pennyblack, iBlues, MAX&Co. and Marina Rinaldi. An interesting information is that Marina Rinaldi is a brand founded in 1980 and named after the greatmother of Mr. Maramotti.

Max Mara is my favorite brand because it absolutely meets my criteria when it comes to wardrobe, which are: quality, interesting models and cuts, good selection of materials, as well as fine processing of materials. Today I decided to show you my favorite piece from the latest Max Mara collection for SS24: a timeless dress with an unusual cut made of satin.

I really like the new collection of this Italian fashion house and I’m glad we have a nice collaboration. In a future post during this summer season, I will try to style this beautiful dress that I received from my dear friends from Max Mara Germany.

If you want to know more about the Italian fashion house Max Mara and discover what the Maramotti family has prepared for the new fashion season, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

I have always admired women with longer and well-groomed hair, but unfortunately I have had short hair all my life, but with the help of Ellen Wille wigs (supllied by Perike In) I managed to fulfill my long-term dream and I am very happy about it. Wigs have become a trend today, because wearing a wig opens up a number of new possibilities for you to experiment and change yourself, without having to make any permanent changes to your natural hair.

Also in addition to the aesthetic transformation, wigs can provide you with good protection from frequent treatment and heat, keeping your natural hair healthy. The history of Ellen Wille began with a suitcase full of ideas. Ellen Wille is a self-made hair designer who built a global brand from a small company. After completing her studies in Paris, the company was established in 1967. The corporate philosophy is shaped by commitment to the highest quality, and this is what the Ellen Wille name stands for.

For over 50 years, Ellen Wille designs have been inspired by international fashion trends. Her passion for wig perfection is evident – she guides every meticulous detail and each Ellen Wille wig is unique. All aspects of an individual style, from the hair fiber to the coloring to the cap design, is about ensuring the most beautiful look, natural movement and comfortable fit. Ellen remains involved in every detail of design, from the first idea, to the finishing touches of each style.

When someone thinks of having to wear a wig, most people get scared thinking that it will take too much time to maintain them. Fortunately, that is not the case at all. Ellen Wille wigs are very easy to maintain and there are many products that will make them last a long time and look the same as when you bought them.

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

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

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad that you like my take on fashion and that I inspire many women in their prime to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives.

The fact that I am opening this spring season with a new brand from South America, more precisely from Uruguay, which over time has become a symbol of sustainable luxury – Gabriela Hearst makes me happy. My task today was to create an elegant fashion outfit with the MYTHERESA shopping 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 brands that you can find on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform, such as: Gabriela Hearst, Magda Butrym and Saint Laurent.

Gabriela Hearst is a luxury fashion brand that has women’s and men’s collections of ready-to-wear and fashion accessories, built on the principles of timelessness, uncompromising quality and sustainability. Born in Uruguay, Gabriela Hearst grew up on her family’s Santa Isabel ranch in Paisando, surrounded by animals, where the notion of luxury meant that things were beautifully crafted and made to last. Gabriela attended the British School in Montevideo and studied communications at O.R.T. University of Uruguay. After more than a decade in design in New York, Gabriela honored her family’s legacy by launching her eponymous brand in fall 2015, as well as taking over operations at her father’s ranch in Uruguay.

Gabriela wanted to create a brand that reflects a slower pace and process: where things are made with care and detail, where tradition is more important than trend, where every piece has a purpose. Gabriela’s commitment is to create a strong and modern collection without compromising her ethics and core values, taking into account where the materials come from and who makes them: luxury with a conscience or in other words, “honest luxury”. Each garment is an object in which Gabriela can translate her desire – made of impeccable construction and uncompromising, noble materials.

Together they tell the story of the places she loves that made her who she is: Uruguay and New York. Jackets and coats are lined with this special silver fabric that prevents cell phone radiation from reaching the female reproductive organs. Aloe treated flax, a much fuller fiber than cotton because it absorbs less water than cotton, and at the same time you can eat flaxseed so it has extra nutritional value. Combining the utilitarian and the beautiful, she wanted to design long-lasting garments that hold memories for the woman who wears them. She is a real woman, attractive and powerful, but there is a lot of action in her life and these clothes are her uniform, her armor.

The aim is to give customers more transparency by sharing the supply chain and giving them access to learn more about their clothing journey.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see the Gabriela Hearst jacket from the latest SS24 collection, a refreshing orange color made from the finest natural materials that are a symbol of sustainable luxury. Since I am a Leo as my zodiac sign and I like things that sparkle, I decided to change the buttons on the jacket and put something that is recognizable in my style. You can also find certain pieces from the Gabriela Hearst women’s collection on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

If you want to stay updated and find out what new things Gabriela Hearst has prepared for us this SS24 fashion season, follow this incredible fashion house on Facebook and Instagram.

The second fashion designer I want to introduce to you is Magda Butrym, a Polish luxury fashion designer who founded her brand in 2014. Magda Bytrum created her own view of femininity, shaping a unique identity for women around the world. She redefines craftsmanship, creating a contemporary vision of romanticism in fashion. It connects the past with the future, minimalism with sexuality, elegance with lightness, strength with sensitivity.

Magda Butrym collaborates with independent artisans from all over Poland, enriching the highest quality fabrics with hand-knitted pieces, knitted leather and hand-embroidered ornaments. On one occasion Ms. Butrym explained her creative vision: “I don’t want to define women. I want to empower them. I want us all to feel comfortable in our own skin, happy, powerful and confident. We should all be our own muses!”

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see Magda Butrym pants of unusual cut with wide legs from the latest Spring – Summer 2024 collection in iconic white color. Certain pieces from the Magda Butrym women’s collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

Wig: Perike IN

Jacket: Gabriela Hearst via MYTHERESA

Bag: DIOR

Trousers: Magda Butrym via MYTHERESA

Brooch: Saint Laurent via MYTHERESA

Pearl Necklace: MIKIMOTO

Ballet Flats: BURBERRY

As for jewelry, today I decided on a brooch from the Saint Laurent collection, which you can find on the MYTHERESA shopping platform. The pearl necklace is from my personal collection that I bought 15 years ago and it was made by MIKIMOTO jewelers. I think these pieces have refreshed and enriched my outfit today because I am a big pearl lover.

I have always admired women with longer and well-groomed hair, but unfortunately I have had short hair all my life, but with the help of Ellen Wille wigs (supllied by Perike In) I managed to fulfill my long-term dream and I am very happy about it. Wigs have become a trend today, because wearing a wig opens up a number of new possibilities for you to experiment and change yourself, without having to make any permanent changes to your natural hair.

Also in addition to the aesthetic transformation, wigs can provide you with good protection from frequent treatment and heat, keeping your natural hair healthy. The history of Ellen Wille began with a suitcase full of ideas. Ellen Wille is a self-made hair designer who built a global brand from a small company. After completing her studies in Paris, the company was established in 1967. The corporate philosophy is shaped by commitment to the highest quality, and this is what the Ellen Wille name stands for.

For over 50 years, Ellen Wille designs have been inspired by international fashion trends. Her passion for wig perfection is evident – she guides every meticulous detail and each Ellen Wille wig is unique. All aspects of an individual style, from the hair fiber to the coloring to the cap design, is about ensuring the most beautiful look, natural movement and comfortable fit. Ellen remains involved in every detail of design, from the first idea, to the finishing touches of each style.

When someone thinks of having to wear a wig, most people get scared thinking that it will take too much time to maintain them. Fortunately, that is not the case at all. Ellen Wille wigs are very easy to maintain and there are many products that will make them last a long time and look the same as when you bought them.

Every lady who wants to achieve an elegant look must always have nice shoes. This time I decided on ballet flats from the famous British brand Burberry. I got these shoes from my son a couple of years ago when he went to London Fashion Week and surprised me with these unusual Burberry ballet flats which are made of real python skin in an unusual shade of orange color. Years have passed, I honestly haven’t had the chance to wear both ballet flats until today when I got this amazing Gabriela Hearst blazer.

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

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

Best Regards,

Rose

Fashion Diary of Mrs. Mom: GEMMI, Beauty of Fur Casual Elegance…

Fashion Mrs. Mom Outfit Post 8 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my new fashion story on the pages of the Mr.M blog. I’m really glad that you like my take on fashion and that I inspire many women in their prime to change their minds and bring some novelty into their lives.

Today I will present to you one of my favorite fur pieces that you have had the opportunity to see this season on the Mr.M blog. Gemmi is a new partner of Mr.M blog, a luxury brand of jackets and coats from Finland. All Gemmi pieces are painstakingly crafted in the Gemmi factory in Finland with the help of skilled and experienced craftsmen and tailors. The materials they use are natural and sustainable and selected for their quality characteristics and responsible production.

How did the Gemmi brand come about? The brand was born out of necessity due to extremely harsh winters in the north of Europe. The history of the Gemmi brand dates back to the early 70s when a factory was built in the small town of Loviisa, located in southern Finland. The vision of the founder of the contemporary Gemmi fur brand got a new life in 2014. I am truly impressed by the work of Ms. Susanne Stenfors and her team who put a lot of love and effort into making Gemmi products and are truly dedicated to each client individually. Gemmi has always created its own unique style of modern fur coats. Their team saw an opportunity to develop a line of fur products that were already well designed, high quality, functional and responsibly made, into a contemporary brand of fur jackets and coats with clearer influences from the Nordic design tradition.

Gemmi is a family company continuing the long tradition of clothing and fur production in Finland. Their fur factory is one of the few textile and fur factories in the Nordic countries, where the right attitude and proper clothing are needed to get through the long and dark winters. In addition, they equally need some kind of outerwear during all seasons. All Gemmi products are designed and handcrafted in Finland. The Gemmi team found inspiration for the new collections in timeless design archives and experimented with different materials to create new contemporary pieces for all four seasons.

Gloves: Artigiano Del Guanto

Jeans: ESCADA

Sneakers: Max Mara

Gemmi various collections uphold the tradition of Finnish design aesthetics, combined with functionality and high-quality materials. The Gemmi team is constantly searching for new natural and sustainable materials suitable for making luxury outerwear. One of the latest discoveries is the Finnish tweed fabric produced by Saimaa Wool, using wool from Nordic sheep. This beautiful tweed fabric in striking colors complements Gemma’s timeless, classic design. Gemmi models are made for everyday use, and for weather and wind protection, they generally use wind and water resistant fabrics.

Windbreakers are now increasingly made from recycled polyester or nylon and the quality of these more sustainable technical fabrics is improving. Gemmi is known for lightweight, reversible fur coats, jackets and vests, which on the one hand look like a functional coat made of technical fabric, but when the reverse is a luxurious fox fur coat, jacket or vest. Gemmi fur jackets and coats are made from fur skins obtained at Saga Furs auctions from Finnish certified and regulated farmers. In this way, we know the origin of the materials used in the production of the fur coat.

In addition to making new fur coats, Gemmi can also revive your old ones and create new fashion masterpieces. I believe that through my previous fur fashion stories, you have become familiar with a number of fur facts that the most important thing to know is that natural fur is a long-lasting, warm material. Many of us have old jackets and coats made of fur that are hanging unused in our wardrobes, and this fact has inspired the Gemmi team to create a new service that will give old fur coats the opportunity to become new fur-lined parkas. This is a win-win combination that provides mutual benefits for many customers who use beautiful fur in a new form and for the Gemmi team a new opportunity because they can provide work for their expert team.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see a Reversible Fox Fur Coat in wonderful Bark color that is designed to be an oversized fit, but at the same time is the most comfortable jacket you will ever wear. The jacket is extremely warm and light. The hood and sleeves have a light padded lining. The jacket is designed and made in Finland. I must mention that Gemmi has limited stock, in order to minimize the level of unsold jackets and coats. Fur coats, jackets and vests ordered through the Gemmi online store are generally made to order and delivered within 2-3 weeks, assuming the Gemmi team has the required material in stock.

How can you buy Gemmi products? The Gemmi flagship store is located in the heart of downtown Helsinki, where you can experience the beauty of their fur jackets and coats in live. On the other hand, in the comfort of your home, you can use the services of the Gemmi online store, which has the widest selection of Gemmi products. Gemmi products can also be found in some stores in northern Finland and high-end department stores, fashion boutiques and fur shops in many countries in Europe and around the world.

If you want to stay updated and find out what all the novelties Gemmi has in offer for us this winter fashion season, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

I am happy to have the opportunity to introduce you to the new friends of the Mr.M blog who have succeeded in bringing together exquisite luxury artisan crafts, Italian passion and exquisite Neapolitan craftsmanship. Artigiano del Guanto (ADG) is an artisan glove workshop active in the northern part of Naples, founded by Giovanni Ricciardiello, an experienced glove maker for 10 decades, a historical exponent of the tradition of the ancient Neapolitan glove makers. A few years ago, in 2016 to be precise, the laboratory was renovated and with it the brand was born: Artigiano Del Guanto.

Today, Artigiano Del Guanto is no longer a “simple” workshop of artisan gloves, but a family company in which the new generation of heirs Francesco, Mimmo and Flora, Giovanni’s children stand out, who, with the indispensable presence of their father, in addition to the brand, renewed the production chain with a completely new styles and models, connected with new modern communication channels, in order to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customer. Over the years, the Artigiano Del Guanto collections have attracted the attention of very prestigious international high fashion brands such as Giorgio Armani, MaxMara, Coccinelle and Pinko, with whom today the Ricciardiello family’s ADG artisan glove laboratory proudly collaborates as an official manufacturer.

What does a working day look like at the Artigiano Del Guanto craft workshop? The working day starts early in the morning between 6:30 and 7 am, when the doors of the ADG workshop are already open. The first word that rings out in the craft workshop is “Good morning”. At 07:30 the first morning coffee is already ready and at 08:00 the working day begins. The first bucket of leather softening water is already full and can be found under the marble counter that will soon be almost 45 years old.

The first stage of processing is in moistening the leather by wrapping it in cloth, previously immersed in a bucket of water for a few seconds, then we move on to laying the leather on the counter, strictly manual work, adopting the right criteria. Then, with the help of scissors, a leather rectangle is formed. From here, the technical processing begins, with the splitting of the leather, it begins to take the form of a glove. Once the desired shape has been obtained, the embroidery itinerary is followed, which through small pictures, blades, curved cuts and various molds bring the holes, leather stitching, weaving, straps, pleats to life.

Are we done making the glove? No, there’s still a lot to do! Now we are in the delicate stage of the seam, entrusted to a highly qualified staff who has been doing this work for about 35 years. Glove production machines differ depending on the type of seam. During the final stage of processing, the passion and frugality of those who sew exclusively by hand and create small works of art are not neglected, as someone described years ago.

After sewing, we move on to the “shocking” phase, that is, to the exact control of the seams, which precedes the installation. The coating is done using special wooden hands on which the coating is placed. Small, traditional gestures of our workshop of handmade gloves… A light veil of vegetable glue is spread over the fingertips, and then the glove is inserted. To make sure the lining is stuck, the glove is placed on the thermal hand which will increase its adhesion. The final stages of production continue with work that can be done by hand or by machine and we are almost at the end of the line in fact only two stops short! Handmade gloves are ‘shown’, or ironed on thermal hands, bonded with cotton and undergo a final inspection, before passing through to destination packaging.

In today’s fashion story, I will present you unusual gloves that are made of the finest lambskin. M.Smithson (GKJ-9456) is a women’s model of gloves with Swarovski stones, made of lambskin. The model is distinguished by the application of Swarovski stones on the back of the gloves and a small leather flap. The lining is made of 100% cashmere.

During this winter season, together we will discover the beauty of luxury artisanal craftsmanship, Italian passion and the extraordinary Neapolitan craftsmanship of Artigiano Del Guanto. If you want to stay updated and find out what new gloves models Artigiano Del Guanto has to offer us this winter fashion season, follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

In today’s fashion story, I will present you some fashion pieces from my favorite Italian brand – Max Mara. Max Mara is a world famous Italian fashion brand. It was founded in 1951 in Reggio Emilia by Mr. Achille Maramotti. This legendary brand sponsors and awards the Max Mara Women’s Art Award. Achille Maramotti began creating wardrobes in 1947, and officially founded the Max Mara fashion house in 1951. How did the brand name come about?

The second word of the brand – “Mara” was derived from Mr. Maramotti surname, while “Max” referred to Count Max, a local legend, who was rarely sober, but always so classy and stylish! Mr. Maramotti was one of the first to see that the future of women’s fashion lay in the mass production of designer quality clothing. He also wanted to put his Max Mara brand at the top in front of the names of individual designers, although he hired Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez and Anne Marie Beretta. The company is still in the hands of the family and is one of the best family fashion businesses in the world.

The Max Mara group has 35 brands in its fashion empire, of which the Max Mara brand remains the heart of the company to this day. Other brands include Sportmax, Sportmax Code, Weekend Max Mara, Marella, Pennyblack, iBlues, MAX&Co. and Marina Rinaldi. An interesting information is that Marina Rinaldi is a brand founded in 1980 and named after the greatmother of Mr. Maramotti.

Max Mara is my favorite brand because it absolutely meets my criteria when it comes to wardrobe, which are: quality, interesting models and cuts, good selection of materials, as well as fine processing of materials. Today I decided to show you two iconic pieces: a timeless turtleneck sweater and unusual sneakers with mink fur details. The turtleneck sweater is made of the finest cashmere with metal details.

The sneakers are really unusual because they are made of a combination of cashmere and mink fur details. The color of these sneakers is amazing live and because of the neutrality of the pastel color, these sneakers go perfectly with any outfit! In a future post I will try to style them with a Max Mara bag and a coat that I got from my dear friends from Max Mara.

I have always admired women with longer and well-groomed hair, but unfortunately I have had short hair all my life, but with the help of Ellen Wille wigs (supllied by Perike In) I managed to fulfill my long-term dream and I am very happy about it. Wigs have become a trend today, because wearing a wig opens up a number of new possibilities for you to experiment and change yourself, without having to make any permanent changes to your natural hair.

The wig you see on me today is the Kimera Deluxe wig, a champagne color from the Stimulate collection that has soft and gentle layers that make this mid-length style absolutely perfect. This wig is designed to ensure a tight and secure fit for the woman wearing it. This wig is of medium length and is made of the highest quality synthetic fibers.

When someone thinks of having to wear a wig, most people get scared thinking that it will take too much time to maintain them. Fortunately, that is not the case at all. Ellen Wille wigs are very easy to maintain and there are many products that will make them last a long time and look the same as when you bought them.

I hope you enjoyed my fashion story today. See you soon with some new and more interesting fashion stories. I will try not to take long breaks and I hope you understand the reason for my unexpected absence after failed cosmetic surgery in Egypt, but there will be time to make up for everything and I am sure I will meet your expectations.

Special note: All my photos from today’s post have been additionally and specially processed to meet the expectations of blog friends, as well as the readers themselves while respecting the aesthetics and guidelines of fashion photography. Unfortunately, the face and neck lifting operations did not go well and due to the negligence of the medical team from Egypt, I suffered serious aesthetic and health consequences. In agreement with my legal team, I will soon tell you the whole story so that you will fully understand the reason for my long absence from the blog, because you deserve to know the truth and all the details.
