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 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

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

Fashion Outfit Post 9 Comments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Today we continue the story of the ecommerce platform MYTHERESA, as well as the brands available on this platform.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you want to stay updated and find out what all the novelties BIAGINI has to offer us this fashion season, follow this unusual Italian brand of luxury leather goods on Facebook and Instagram.

We will finish 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 the chance to see their most famous model, the Brera, in my Jordan fashion stories.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Vince: Understated Concept of Everyday Luxury Essentials…

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Watch: ENVISION

Trousers: Vince

Sneakers: Lanvin via MYTHERESA Men

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of another summer fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty and splendor of American quiet luxury fashion with the cult fashion house Vince, elegance with the luxury Italian watch brand ENVISION, as well as the prestige of sports elegance with the luxury French brand Lanvin in cooperation with the luxury online shopping platform MYTHERESA Men, 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: 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. 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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Case Diameter: 43,8mm

Case Thickness: 10,9mm

Case Material: Grade 5 Titanium

Water Resistance: 10 ATM (100m)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Loafers: Fratelli Rossetti

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MYTHERESA is one of the leading global luxury e-commerce platforms operating in over 130 countries.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
