Max Mara: Ludmilla, An Iconic Coat with a Flowing Lines, Hand-Stitched with Two Layers of Cashmere…

My dear fashionistas, welcome to my first Fall fashion story on the Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog pages this season. I sincerely hope that this season I will justify your trust and that I will be able to inspire women in their prime to change the way they look at life and introduce novelty into their everyday life through my vision of fashion. Today I will do my best to present you some new autumn fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe, with which we will open the Fall – Winter season on the Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog.

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 of fashion stories to experience such success and I am immensely grateful for your wonderful messages, as well as your selfless support.

When I start something, I always think carefully whether to accept something because every challenge is a responsibility, and so is my writing of fashion stories. I was skeptical at the beginning of this year because of all bad things after cosmetic surgery had happened, whether I would even be ready to embark on the adventure of writing spring and summer stories, but at the persuasion of my family, friends and my psychotherapist, it turned out that this type of work was healing for me and that I somehow managed to prove to myself with this challenge that I can push the boundaries regardless of the difficulties that may arise during the process. Everything in life requires self-confidence, courage and self-love so that a person can achieve higher goals. This autumn I am more prepared and slowly getting used to the new situation in my life.

I believe many of you have heard about MYTHERESA shopping e-commerce on Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog, but I would like to introduce you to this online 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 MYTHERESAonline shopping platform, such as: Max MaraLoro PianaSaint Laurent and Tod’s.

We start today’s fashion story with old friends Mr. M&Mrs. Mom of the blog – Max Mara. Max Mara is a world famous Italian fashion brand. It was founded in 1951 in Reggio Emilia by Mr. Achille Maramotti. This legendary brand sponsors and awards the Max Mara Women’s Art Award. Achille Maramotti started 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 them. I’m sure you’ve all seen by now how much I love cashmere, so this Ludmilla coat is my new fashion love that I’m sure I’ll wear for a long, long time. This coat is made from the finest pure tobacco cashmere, hand stitched in Italy with two layers of soft cashmere.

Made of hand-stitched pure double cashmere, the Ludmilla coat shines like satin. Its shine is the result of a carding process that releases impurities from the fabric, making it flawless to the touch and visually. Finishing the coat with a custom binding that makes it unique, it epitomizes a relaxed attitude and attention to detail. This coat is made for true connoisseurs, when one hears the call for special luxury or the art of choosing the best without boasting, the instinctive answer is Ludmilla.

A timeless piece from the Max Mara collection, the Ludmilla coat epitomizes laid-back appeal that doesn’t sacrifice luxurious fabrics and impeccable attention to detail. Reinterpreted in 2016 and reintroduced in all collections since then, it is one of the iconic pieces of Max Mara style. It stands out with its generous silhouette that hugs the body, and can be adjusted thanks to the coordinated belt. Kimono sleeves and large patch pockets emphasize its understated, refined luxury.

In addition to the excellent material processing, the model of this coat itself is modern and unusual. Depending on what you plan to wear with this coat, it can be nicely combined with elegant outfits, as well as with some relaxed everyday casual outfits. In addition to the coat, gloves and a bag are also part of the Max Mara collection. This bag is part of the old Max Mara collection, but because I really wanted to have this bag, the Max Mara team found it in their archives and I got this wonderful bag because I had it on Pinterest as my favorite piece, but that’s why the gloves are part the latest Max Mara Fall – Winter 2024 collections.

I would like to write a small note for all interested ladies who want to own a Ludmilla coat. This coat is significantly oversized and I chose an Italian size 36, but it’s a little big on me and I think I should have taken an IT34 size, since I lost a lot of weight and I weigh significantly less, so I wasn’t sure which coat size would suit me, that’s why I took the IT36 size, and my son urged me to take the IT34 number, honestly right now I feel a lot of guilt for not listening to him.

Certain pieces from the Max Mara women’s collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA e-commerce shopping platform.

Loro Piana: Elegance is Lifetime Journey…

My dear fashionistas and travellers, welcome to a new fashion story from Cuba. July will be dedicated to fashion stories from an unusual island country in the Caribbean, a country known for tobacco and rum – Cuba. At the very beginning of this fashion story from Cuba, I would like to thank the travel agency Disko Travel, better known as Disko Drugar Putovanja, which is more than a travel agency, it is a real traveling family that provides an incredible experience. This is my first time cooperating with a travel agency from our area and I must admit that it was an unusual experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The moccasins that you have the opportunity to see in today’s post are from the Spring – Summer collection of the Italian fashion house Tod’s in collaboration with the luxury car brand Ferrari. The moccasins are made of the highest quality red suede (turned) leather.

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

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

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

Fashionable Letter from Sri Lanka: Stripes are Iconic!

Dear my fashionistas and travelers, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog! Today’s fashion story will be about the iconic fashion detail of this season, a print that has appeared in many world fashion houses this season – stripes.

Before I start today’s post, I would like to thank the Sri Lankan Tourism Board for an amazing experience and a wonderful trip. If by any chance you missed any of my previous posts, take the opportunity to visit some of the previous stories at the following links:

  1. The Story about Colombo (Travelogue): LINK
  2. Unforgettable Fashion Safari in Sri Lanka: LINK
  3. My Safari Experience in Sri Lanka (Travelogue): LINK

Today’s fashion story will be dedicated to timeless fashion detail – stripes, a print that has returned to the big doors of this fashion season, as evidenced by the new collections of all famous well-known fashion houses that have decorated some of their clothes, accessories and footwear with iconic detail – stripes.

What’s the behind story about the stripes? Over time, this print has become a symbol of classic and elegant style, simple and somewhat conservative, but the history of this fashion print in clothing is more than unconventional, sometimes it could be found on the “other side of the law”.

Striped design is one of the first characteristic examples of textile processing in the history of fashion, which has survived various eras and survived to this day. Perhaps today stripes are a feature of perfect classical style, balanced and somewhat liberal, the history of this fashion print is more than avant-garde, and often the print that could be found on uniforms worn by people on the other side of the law. According to some historical records, stripes on clothes were first found during the Middle Ages, and in their black and white version they were reserved for criminal convicts, court lunatics and “love sellers” – prostitutes.

The conclusion is that stripes may have gone through various epochs of condemnation and admiration, but today they have flourished and become an unavoidable fashion detail that is simply irresistible and simply impossible to avoid!

The jacket in today’s post is from the new collection of the Italian fashion house Tod’s. The jacket is made of the highest quality suede leather with brushed leather details.

Tod’s is one of the few brands on the fashion scene that has remained true to its roots and generations. Tod’s as a brand has always stood out for its quality leather and models that come from craft workshops. Mr. Diego Della Valle’s idea was to create shoes, appeal and fashion accessories suitable for both formal and informal occasions, with a casual, comfortable, simple but refined taste.

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

One of the brands that has recognized positive energy and love for adventures and unusual journeys is the Swiss watch brand Certina. We have already met with this brand during the winter season on the Mr.M blog and if you are interested to know why this brand is so special and unique, read the story at this link.

Certina watches are known for their precision, reliability and sporty character. The sports watch brand has built an international reputation for quality Swiss workmanship, during its long history, which is more than 130 years long.

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

Today, after 60 years, Certina DS Jubile adorns my hand. It is an unusual feeling when one such brand with unique watch designs is my new partner in my adventures. The watch you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is the DS Jubile model, which exists in two versions, the basic one with a steel bracelet and the other with a leather bracelet.

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

Tod’s: Fashion Accessories are the Key to Perfect Style…

My dear fashionistas welcome to another fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. Today’s story is a continuation of Tod’s stories and I will do my best to show you some interesting fashion details that have become dear to me in a very short time. In previous posts you had the opportunity to see two Tod’s jackets made of suede leather, if by any chance you did not manage to read my previous fashion stories related to the Tod’s brand, take some time and visit the following links: link 1 and link 2.

Previous Tod’s stories have proven that this Italian brand is one of the few brands on the fashion scene that has remained consistent with its roots and generations. All brands from the Tod’s group strive to maintain an elegant and refined direction while maintaining exceptional quality and result – a modern elegant classic ready-to-wear and footwear.

I have to admit that this fashion piece also surprised me a lot because so far I haven’t really worn a leather overshirt, which can also be worn as a light jacket that can be very practical. When I opened the package and saw the sleeve of this shirt, I was convinced that it was a nice leather jacket, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Tod’s as a brand has always stood out for its quality leather and models that come from craft workshops. Mr. Diego Della Valle’s idea was to create a shoe suitable for both formal and informal occasions, with a casual, comfortable, simple but refined taste.

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

My outfit today is adorned with a leather overshirt from the new collection for autumn-winter 2021/22, which is a classic timeless model and can always be found in the offer of the Tod’s brand.

In addition to the leather overshirt, my outfit was complemented by Tod’s casual jeans in a beautiful shade of drape color and a leather backpack that with its “military” print brings a dose of a certain sporty elegance to my today’s clothing combination and perfectly closes the fashion circle due to its shades of brown.

If you want to be up to date and find out all the novelties that Tod’s fashion house is preparing for us, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

This silk T-shirt you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is a part of the new summer collection of the Italian fashion house SVEVO Parma, a family brand that you had the opportunity to meet on my blog through summer fashion stories.

This incredible fashion story began in Bari, when Mr. Nicola Somma opened a chain of knitwear stores for men and women, without any kind of knowledge that he started the “fashion wheel” of an Italian company that still focuses on the values of quality and authenticity.

In 1955, his son Mario Somma founded the first SVEVO knitwear factory for the production of high-quality knitwear, which was made by professional local craftsmen. Thus, from the center of Puglia, a country rich in resources and resourcefulness, threads of sophistication and excellent craftsmanship are developed, destined to weave the future of the company.

Knitwear is a true art that is passed from generation to generation, a secret that is kept among a select few who, with their exceptional skill and intense passion, still manage to weave a new reality and spread love for finished knitted works of art among people around the world.

If you want to be up to date and find out all the news that the fashion house SVEVO Parma is preparing for us, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Previous and today’s Tod’s elegant outfits as well was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.

MUSE watches are for all art lovers with refined taste and a sense of aesthetics. The basic idea of the founders of the MUSE brand was to re-examine and present the representation of time through an artistic prism. Mr. Robert and Mr. Leuba replaced the traditional hands, so the hours, minutes and seconds are shown in special art forms inspired by elements of nature and architecture.

MUSE dials are a moving art, time passes and different formations and shapes are made. Watches have become real small pieces of art today, only technology and inspiration have made it possible to enjoy the beauty of shapes that change on the MUSE dial every minute.

My watch is adorned with an Elaphe bracelet in a bronze brown-gold color. The bracelet is made of Elaphe water snake skin, which does not belong to the protected species.

Since the entire outfit was in a certain classic tone, I decided to take my favorite sneakers I bought last year for a walk. I have to admit that they complemented this outfit in an unusual way. They may have spent some time in the closet, but in the end they waited for their five minutes of fame! Of course, this shade of drape color goes great with my pastel colors in the wardrobe.

My dear fashionistas, we have reached the end of this third special post where we discovered the beauty and splendor of Italian brand Tod’s together! See you soon and we will continue our fashion story about the Italian brand Tod’s on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today?

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

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

If you have been vaccinated (both doses of the vaccine) you need to wear a mask for your own safety. The summer vacation season has begun and many of you is spending vacation at sea, so I would ask you to respect local COVID-19 laws related to community health.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or a message for me, you can write to me below in the comments. Of course, as always, you can contact me via email or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT ME page. I’ll see you soon!

Tod’s: A Fashion Story that combines high quality Craftsmanship and Timeless Italian Elegance

Dear my fashionistas, welcome to the new fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog. Today’s summer story will be dedicated to the Italian brand Tod’s, which we had the opportunity to get to know better in one of the previous blog posts.

A brand considered the top of Italian design, Tod’s embraces a lifestyle that has always been an association for timeless elegance with superior quality. A way of life that is connected with the concept of the Italian way of life, good taste and “savoir vivre” – the art of living life.

Tod’s is synonymous worldwide for unmistakable elegance and refined style, the brand has for years created true style icons of contemporary luxury through its collections of footwear and leather goods for men and women. Each product is made using traditional and modern techniques of top Italian craftsmanship, creating exceptional items that are the subject of “fashion lust” of all fashion lovers from all over the world.

Tod’s fashion group is known for its national and international socially responsible development sustainability projects. One of the most famous projects is “Tod’s for Colosseum” – the restoration of the Colosseum, a symbol of Italian history.

The intervention plan for the reconstruction of the Colosseum is a project commissioned by the delegate commissioner for archeological sites of Rome and Ostia Antica, in cooperation with the Special Group for the Protection of the Colosseum and the Archaeological Area of Rome, and implemented thanks to the selfless support of Tod’s group.

The first phase of works was completed and included the renovation of the northern and southern facades, with an area of about 13,300 square meters, and the replacement of the arch closing system with the construction of new gates.

The renovation plan will continue with the renovation of the Colosseum basement, standardization and implementation of the system and the construction of a service center that allows additional activities to support visitors to this cultural monument.

The second phase of work, which began in December 2018, under the leadership of the new autonomous institute Parco Archeologico del Colosseo, included the hypogea area, a “monument within a monument” a kind of amphitheater located below the arena and in ancient times invisible to spectators . More than 80 people took part in the restoration work, including archaeologists, restorers, architects, engineers and other experts.

At the end of the works, a promenade 160 meters long was set up, accessible to all visitors, which gave visitors the opportunity to see the hitherto unexplored part of the Colosseum, which was not feasible before.

Previous Tod’s and today’s elegant outfit as well was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.

MUSE watches are for all art lovers with refined taste and a sense of aesthetics. The basic idea of the founders of the MUSE brand was to re-examine and present the representation of time through an artistic prism. Mr. Robert and Mr. Leuba replaced the traditional hands, so the hours, minutes and seconds are shown in special art forms inspired by elements of nature and architecture.

This silk T-shirt you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is a part of the new summer collection of the Italian fashion house SVEVO Parma, a family brand that you had the opportunity to meet on my blog through summer fashion stories.

This incredible fashion story began in Bari, when Mr. Nicola Somma opened a chain of knitwear stores for men and women, without any kind of knowledge that he started the “fashion wheel” of an Italian company that still focuses on the values of quality and authenticity.

In 1955, his son Mario Somma founded the first SVEVO knitwear factory for the production of high-quality knitwear, which was made by professional local craftsmen. Thus, from the center of Puglia, a country rich in resources and resourcefulness, threads of sophistication and excellent craftsmanship are developed, destined to weave the future of the company.

Knitwear is a true art that is passed from generation to generation, a secret that is kept among a select few who, with their exceptional skill and intense passion, still manage to weave a new reality and spread love for finished knitted works of art among people around the world.

Tod’s: True Italian Elegance and Refined Style as the Prestige of Modern Luxury

My dear fashionistas, I hope you are ready for a new fashion adventure! Summer is an ideal period for fashion experiments, especially when the real art is to dress nicely, without consequences in the form of sweat stains that destroy every good will of a person to dress nicely. Today I will try to show you true Italian elegance and refined style with the help of the fashion house Tod’s.

Tod’s S.p.A. is a company specializing in the production of footwear, clothing and accessories with its brands Tod’s, Hogan, Fay and Roger Vivier. This fashion story is the about the work and effort of the Della Valle family.

This fashion journey began in the early twentieth century when Filippo Della Valle, a shoemaker with exceptional ideas and visions, made shoes in his kitchen at home. After some time and effort and work, Mr. Della Valle opens his shoe atelier.

In the late 1960s, his son Dorino, with the help of his wife, founded the first craft factory in Sant’Elpidio a Mare. The whole concept developed with the sale of women’s shoes in Germany and in department stores across USA.

In the 1970s, Dorina’s son Diego joined the company. Despite his great love for the United States, Diego returns to Italy with the idea of ​​creating an innovative product with a brand name. In the early eighties, he got his chance and became the director of a family company, opening an office in Milan in 1980, creating a brand for women’s shoes “Diego Della Valle”, managing to convince some fashion designers of that time to wear them for free at fashion shows.

Tod’s produced the first moccasins with rubber pads and soles that initially took shape, like small rubber pins, and were designed for car drivers, primarily to make driving more comfortable and provide additional comfort to drivers.

The apostrophe – ‘, which has been present since the beginning of Tod’s era, was chosen with intent because of the advantage of simple pronunciation in all the languages of the world. In the early 1980s, Diego and his brother Andrea launched Tod’s brand and the first moccasins with a distinctive rubber sole composed of 133 small rubber pins, a long process that requires about 100 processing steps, many of which are done by hand.

Legend has it that the intuition came to Diego Della Valle, who, after returning from the United States, noticed the pilot’s moccasins during a long flight and returned to Italy trying to make new comfortable moccasins.

Tod’s as a brand stood out for its quality leather and models that come from craft shoemakers. Mr. Diego Della Valle’s idea was to create a shoe suitable for both formal and informal occasions, with a casual, comfortable, simple but refined taste.

Today, the Tod’s brand represents the pinnacle of Italian fashion and, in addition to footwear, produces clothes, knitwear and fashion accessories that have found their place in the hearts of celebrities all over Hollywood.

My current clothing combination is adorned with a leather jacket from the new collection for AW 2021/22, which is a classic timeless model and can always be found in the offer of the Tod’s brand.

If you want to be up to date and find out all the novelties that Tod’s fashion house is preparing for us, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Since we started today’s story with leather details, I will continue in that order and introduce you to my new friend with whom I hang out on the streets of Berlin and who helps me bring all the necessary things, such as a camera, laptop, chargers because I never know when let the battery let me down.

When you carry a lot of things with you every day, the most important thing is the quality and practicality of leather goods. In one of the previous posts, we had the opportunity to hang out with the StefanomanO brand, where I showed you one of their backpack models in a beautiful navy blue color.

StefanomanO is a family Italian brand of leather goods, mostly men’s and women’s bags and small leather leather goods. The brand was founded in 2005, with the special goal of carefully choosing a product handmade in Italy and expressing a contemporary style in a classic and informal light designed for the customer who cares about details, but also who does not give up comfort and quality. with an always refined and unique style.

The backpack you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is a special model with an adjustable flap, made of the finest woven calfskin in a dark brown color. This spacious backpack guarantees comfort and functionality with its internal and external pockets. During the photo shooting, this backpack was full of things and I have to admit that I am very satisfied with how elegant it looks and not to notice that I certainly have at least 6-7 kilograms of things inside and that it has not changed its shape.

This brand continuously conducts market research and modernization of production with the aim of creating bags with a high degree of functionality, light weight with an extremely practical purpose and spacious. The use of the finest leather and traditional craft tradition are special features of StefanomanO products and rank them among the most appreciated and unique brands on the market.

Today’s elegant outfit was completed by a watch from the Akylon collection of the art Swiss brand MUSE, which you had the opportunity to meet in one of the previous posts.

The case is made of 100% titanium in the color of rose gold, while the dial is made of aventurine, a type of quartz that is characterized by its transparency and the presence of mineral impurities in the form of platinum that give it a shimmering or shining effect called aventurescence.

My watch is adorned with an Elaphe bracelet in a bronze brown-gold color. The bracelet is made of Elaphe water snake skin, which does not belong to the protected species.

MUSE watches are for all art lovers with refined taste and a sense of aesthetics. The basic idea of the founders of the MUSE brand was to re-examine and present the representation of time through an artistic prism. Mr. Robert and Mr. Leuba replaced the traditional hands, so the hours, minutes and seconds are shown in special art forms inspired by elements of nature and architecture.

MUSE dials are a moving art, time passes and different formations and shapes are made. Watches have become real small pieces of art today, only technology and inspiration have made it possible to enjoy the beauty of shapes that change on the MUSE dial every minute.

The Stenströms Polo T-shirt made of the highest quality merino wool has a classic polo collar and a V-neck. This unusual, neutral brown color, someone will say the color taupe is ideal for all occasions and is easily compatible with other colors of similar shades.

I decided to show you how you can wear this T-shirt on occasions that do not require a strictly formal way of dressing, but if you want to achieve a more elegant look, you can wear this T-shirt on classic trousers.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of this first special post where together we opened a new fashion chapter and started the story of the Italian brand Tod’s on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today?

I really tried to prepare today’s post with a lot of love and I hope you will like it! See you in a couple of days with some new interesting story!

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new variant of Corona virus – Lambda in almost all European and countries around the world.

The summer vacation season has begun and many have escaped from heat in the city and enjoy the summer at sea, I would ask you to respect local laws related to COVID-19 community health regulations. The process of vaccinating the population in Germany has begun and I believe that the situation will soon improve and that our lives will return to normal soon!

Belgrade Diaries: The Avala mountain, a Faithful Guardian of Serbian History…

My dear travellers and fashionistas, how are you today? I sincerely hope that you are well and that you have been able to find some kind of fun during this situation called COVID-19 (Coronavirus). I am not going to give you any advice on how to spend your time during this ongoing alarming worldwide situation, I just want to ask you how much you can abide by the regulations currently in force during this state of emergency.

This is a time we need to spend with family and stay in touch with friends and the outside world via telephone and other online forms of communication which we successfully use nowadays.

In my previous posts, I did my best to find that it was primarily because of people who wanted to learn more about the sights of Belgrade, such as the Gardos Tower that forms the heart of Zemun on the banks of Danube and Topcider Park, which remained known as Prince Milos Obrenovic’s favorite green oasis. Today I wanted to introduce to you the most famous Belgrade “mountain”.

Avala is a hill located in the southeastern part of Belgrade, and just over 16 kilometers from the heart of the city, you have the opportunity to enjoy exceptional views of Belgrade, Vojvodina and Sumadija. Belgrade’s most famous “mountain” is 511 meters high.

In the Middle Ages, the town of Zrnov was located at the very top of Avala. In the 15th century, Zrnov was conquered and under siege by the Ottoman Empire, which built a brand new city and renamed it “Havale,” a word that comes from the Arabic language and means an obstacle.

Avala has been on the list of protected government properties since 1859 as a natural monument and a site of exceptional cultural and historical importance of Belgrade. It was not until 2007 that Avala entered the circle of protected green spaces of the city of Belgrade.

The mountain was declared a national park in 1936. A few years later, Avala was granted the status of public good of general interest and the administration was assigned to the Government of the Republic of Serbia. In the mid-1960s, more precisely 1965, the 202-meter-high Avala Tower was built, one of the tallest buildings in the Balkans. The tower was unfortunately destroyed in the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia.

Fortunately, with the Government’s decision, the reconstruction began in 2006 and the officially new Avala Tower was opened to the public on April 21, 2010. The new tower is the best replica of the destroyed one, and once again Avala has been given the opportunity to confirm its title of Belgrade’s most famous picnic and relaxation area.

On the Avala, you can also find the Monument to the Unknown Hero, the Monument to the Soviet War Veterans, the Memorial Park, the Monument to Vaso Carapic.

The beautiful forest, the restored tower and the Monument to the Unknown Hero are indisputably symbols of present-day Avala, however, older generations know that the well-preserved fortress of the medieval town of Žrnovo once stood on the foundations of the Monument to the Unknown Hero.

At the request and order of the king, the remains of the fort were destroyed by dynamite with the desire to erect a new Monument to the Unknown Hero on the remains. There has been public debate as to why King made such a decision, but no real conclusion was reached. I would like to share with you the fact that at the time, not far from the new one, there was already a Monument to the Unknown Hero, but it was also demolished. Only the cross left in the church in Beli Potok remains today.

A new monument to an unknown hero at the top of Belgrade’s Avala Mountain symbolizes the great plight of a country. Have you ever wondered who is the Unknown Hero resting on Avala?

It’s one boy whose childhood was violently interrupted in 1915 when he was hit by a grenade. Sculptor Ivan Mestrovic wanted to display a symbol of five centuries of slavery under the Turks with sculptures marking the different nationalities of the former republics in Yugoslavia…

On the other hand, many believe that the monument to the Unknown Hero was used not to give official meaning to the mysterious hero, but to display Serbian history with jeweled numerous Masonic symbols. Many today believe that King Alexander and Ivan Mestrovic were Freemasons.

Whether the Monument to the Unknown Hero is in fact, a grand Masonic symbol built for reasons unknown to us, or as many believe, is just one confirmation of the adherence to the idea of unification, by which King Aleksandar Karadjordjevic tried to prove his loyalty to the Yugoslavs… This is a secret we may succeed to find out, but one thing is inevitable Avala is a symbol of Belgrade that we can be proud of.

I will say that I made good use of one day and had the opportunity to learn more about Avala. As in past posts after a “walk” through history, I have to tell you something about my outfit.

When you are a blogger it is always a great honor for you to feel immense happiness and satisfaction when you get an invitation for collaboration with a brand that builds its story for years and invites you to be part of that fashion story. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the WELLENSTEYN brand, but it’s one of the more famous luxury German fashion brands. You may have been wearing it for years, but do you know the story behind this brand?

The history of the Wellensteyn brand began, sometime around the 1960s in Germany, but today this brand can be seen in stores across the United States and North America.

Then, sixty years ago, Adolf Wuttke was a manufacturer of mechanical instruments used to plunge into the depths of the North Sea. He always tried to be close with his customers, in the right way to find out what they wanted. Of course, he was always a welcome guest at the docks and shipyards that used his instruments every day.

After a while he noticed the need for adequate work clothes that would not only be part of the work uniform, but also possess a certain elegance. He did not want to create any kind of clothing, his vision was to produce the best jackets for men. That’s exactly what he did!

He created a straight line of stylish jackets and coats that were unique because they were made of special waxed materials that will withstand wind and rain, while keeping every worker at the dock safe from all natural disasters.

The company was taken over by Adolf’s son Thomas. Nowadays, the Wellensteyn fashion brand also has a women’s collection, with a number of different jacket styles that will give you exceptional comfort and impeccable elegance in any season.

The brand fosters a style of functional elegance, where I decided to introduce you a model from their new Spring-Summer 2020 collection. In the following posts you will have the opportunity to see some more interesting models.

One message can make your day…

Hi everyone, how are you today? Finally this nice and warm weather has visited Europe and my dear Serbia. You can feel some cold is the air, but when there are sun rays then it is a bit easier to be outside. I sincerely hope that this nice time has made a smile on your face and that you took advantage of some interesting outdoor activities. Today you will read about the importance of positive energy and how to prepare for the new Fall season.

I hope that you are not like me and that at least you managed to prepare your wardrobe for the new season. Autumn has arrived and you have to pack summer clothes and you will bring out some of your favorite autumn pieces.

Okay, I have to stop here with practical daily tips, but I promise you I will write a new post how to properly put off the old wardrobe. Many of you have asked me about this via e-mail and social media because after a while some unwanted guests – moths. I’ll pay attention to this topic this month, I promise!

The photos for this post were made quite unexpectedly at the end of September, but I decided to publish it as my first post in October and to finish this season. No more short sleeves for this year, we have to wait May next year and then we will enjoy again in the magic of short sleeves.

I remember that these pictures were made on September 19, Wednesday, because it was a busy day of that week because of the duties which I had to do. Since I always carry a backpack and a computer with me because I want to use my breaks in the best possible way. Sometimes it happens that I am very productive and that time simply inspire me to “work” much better and I write the text for a new post.

That day I had 3 important meetings and certain little “holes” in the time that I can use for relaxation – writing new posts. I wrote a couple of PR articles that I had to send to my clients and I thought it was done for today, however … Before I decided to finish my chocolate delight, I wanted to check my e-mailbox for the last time before I leave the pastry shop. New notification – You have 1 new message, I thought again that some brand is sending me a new reminder about their new collection and I want to “eat” myself because I do not have enough money to buy everything I see there…

I’ve been wrong! The title was: “Mr.M, are you ready for the new Fashion Festival?”, I saw it well on the e-mail header that it was an outlet from the McArthurGlen group of outlets located near Venice. Then it occurred to me that I was certainly in some of their customers email base, because I certainly left my email when I bought something there when I was living in Italy during my university days.

Since I had time to open a message and I read text. At the end I saw an invitation, a plane ticket and a hotel voucher. I still do not believe… Few times I read the text and then I realize that I was chosen to be the ambassador of the Festival of Shopping in Noventa Di Piave outlet this year. I have to admit that it is a great honor and I was pleased to accept the invitation and I confirmed my arrival. 

Almost 2 minutes later, I took the phone and I invited my photographer just to share this wonderful news. On the other side of the line I’ve got a question: “Where are you? Do you want to take some pictures for the blog today?! ” In about ten minutes, my photographer came and all photos for this post were done very quickly, because I realized that in less than half an hour I have a meeting that can change a lot of things in my blogging life.

The pictures turned out amazing at the end, my indescribable joy and happiness can be seen on almost all of the pictures on the blog, but this day was very special to me. It was an exciting day in September, which I will remember for a long time. Meetings have passed, new collaborations have been arranged and little Marko will spend this winter in some new adventures in Europe and we will explore together new cities and Mr.M blog will have some new stories to share with you this winter…

Sometimes it takes only a bit of trust in yourself, your work and effort to make everything to be realized according to a plan. The faith, the hope, and the power of positive thinking will do their part, but the cards that destiny prepares for us will put us on a test of perseverance. 

You should always believe in yourself and what you are doing, because if there is no any kind of faith, everything is without any significance. However your idea sounds unbelievable and crazy at first, it’s your idea and my advice to you is to be persistent till end. If you do not try, you will never know. Be the writer of your book which we usually call LIFE and do not chase to be included in someone else’s life.

If you do not want to help someone, that does not mean that you are not a good person, but simply if you don’t want it, everything is for people except when we talking about destroying someone’s life. Live your life and let others live, help if you can, do not try to cheat on somebody because the life is karma and everything returns in the end…

 

My dear fashionistas once again we have come to the end of this special fashion post from my beloved Belgrade. Time just flies so fast when you are having a good time! Don’t worry in a couple of days I will publish a new post where we will continue together to enjoy the charms of traveling and we will explore one of the shopping spots in Italy. I just can’t wait to show you what my friends from McArthurGlen Noventa Di Piave Designer Outlet and I have prepared for you guys.

At the end of this post, I would like to thank my friends from Apple Deutschland who have treated me with this wonderful new MacBook Pro which helps me in everyday work so that I can work on my blog much better and it’s much easier for me to edit photos and to finish all my sweet blogger tasks.

Letters from Morocco: One Fashion Story from Essaouira

Hi everyone, how are you today? Are you ready for a new story from Morocco? Today, I will present you the second city I visited in this beautiful country. Welcome to Essaouira! Essaouira is one interesting and lovely fishing town. Due to climatic conditions, he received a nice nickname “City of the Winds”. There is a very interesting festival that is organized every year in autumn and is dedicated to all kites lovers. This time I did not have the opportunity to feel that adrenaline, but I enjoyed the beautiful pictures shown by our guides from the Tourist Office of Essaouira.

I learned a few more interesting things about this unusual city. Did you know that this city was previously called by the Portuguese name Mogador, which in the Berber language means the Wall, because the Portuguese Mogador was strongly fortified. Just because of these walls, Essaouira has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List in Africa since 2001 year.

At the beginning of this post, I would like to thank my friends from the Moroccan National Tourist Office on this wonderful trip and the adventure I will remember!

Our trip from Marrakech to this seaside city was very interesting for me… I’ll just say “The Goat’s Trees” in the next post you will have the opportunity to see how it really looks. It’s really fascinating when you see the Atlantic Ocean suddenly after the sand and the desert. Landscape which you just want to keep for yourself and to memorise for the whole lifetime!

Saul and I were a little tired because of the trip, but it took us twenty minutes to “reset” everything and get ready for a new adventure. When I saw that morning sun, I just had to change my outfit, I knew that I would surely make new photos for a fashion outfit post.

The facades of the buildings are in blue classic coastal shades and I have met a lot of four-legged friends and a huge fish lovers – the cats. Cats enjoy great privilege in this place. The inhabitants of this city simply adore animals, and even every street seller has his own cat that makes him a company, even at high temperatures. These are the real friendships!

I successfully managed to match my outfit with the coastal spirit of this Moroccan city. As you can see, I even walked around a market that was closed because we had come too early and started with our activities. Smile is the best way to start a new day! ?

Essaouira is an unusual city, the streets are similar, and I had the feeling that I was spinning in the circle until I again used my ability to navigate in space, and with the small help of cats that made company to their owners, street vendors on the street. So, again I managed to enjoy the streets of this unusual city.

The man, which you have opportunity to see beside me was our guide for that day in Essaouira, he was born here, and he even showed us the street in which he was born and told a short story in his childhood and how it looks like growing up in Essaouira. A very interesting story, a little unusual for us from Europe, but very instructive and educational with emotions. Since that day, it was a decisive game for Argentina to represent on the World Cup, so they thought our guide was cheering for Argentina. Moroccans are otherwise very communicative and cheerful people. They always will spend a few minutes talking to you on the street (if you know French or if you find a person who knows English).

This is the street where our guide grew up, he showed me where the special rooms were where their mothers and grandmothers prepared the bread after they had no kitchen in their small apartments. They had special space where they made and baked bread, and special laundry rooms. Everybody had their own day reserved, and each family from the neighbourhood always respected that. Together in one neighborhood lived Jewish and Muslim families and their religion did not bother them to have good relations and good friendships.

After we finished with our city tour, we were able to visit the surrounding vineyards. It was very interesting and little Marko finally learned a little about wine. If the smile is going on the wrong side, please forgive me a glass of wine has fallen, and I’m not used to drink! ? I used the opportunity and take some photos of my details from this outfit in this beautiful vineyard.

I have to admit that I enjoyed and I would like to thank VAL D’ARGAN Winery for hospitality and I have learned a lot of new and useful things about wine production, which I will share with you in the next post. Believe me you will be surprised!

One Fashionable Supreme Summer

Hello guys! How are you today? The weekend is behind us, I sincerely hope that you have used this pleasant sunny time and that you have filled your “batteries” for a new working week. Summer is a period when a person wants to try something new, just to get a little out of his usual life rhythm. So I decided and finally to face a fashionable style that I “tried” to avoid, but it’s obvious that a person can not get away from the “trainer” sportive style.

 

 

The first thing I promised myself is that it will not be a black, gray or dark jogger trousers (track suit), because those are the everyday colors to which I am faithful and I will take the most colorful colour which I find in that moment. As soon as I entered the store, I saw this bright red trousers and simply picked up without thinking from the sales table.

I tried not to try at all at all, because I feel if I saw all my defects in the mirror I would rather leave it and find some classic trousers or jeans that were maybe better for me. This first part was ended, I had an idea in my mind how I would combine it and went straight to home to do it because I did not have much time to do the shooting because I was supposed to go on the trip.

As soon as I entered the house, my mother were doing her ordinary everyday duties like cooking… I used the opportunity and quickly said, “I bought a red jogging trousers!” Mom just stopped with her work, the feeling was the same like in the Indian series when actors look at each other for few moments. “What did you buy?!” – Red trainer! (I screamed from another room). She left the kitchen and asked me to show her. “Man, do they have this in my size?!” She was absolutely speaking delighted with the trainer. Finally, she finished with the preparation of the lunch and the action now was able to start.

 

 

We went out then we forgot that we don’t have any idea where we can make good photos for this post. Sitting on some bench in the neighbourhood sometimes could be very interesting. 🙂 We were almost spent few minutes thinking where we could make some amazing pictures for this post… My mom was trying to help me with some associations like graffiti, garages, but we could not remember where we could find some place like that at that moment. On all these problems, Mom realized that something was missing out on my outfit…

She remembered! THE BACKPACK! Where can I find an interesting backpack?! We remembered one of ours family friends who is crazy about fashion accessories, fortunately he is living in the neighbourhood so we headed to his house. Maybe we were looked like some “fashion” maniacs, but it was urgent! ? Luckily he was at home and after about ten minutes I pulled out this red bag from a dust bag. He didn’t even want to hear, that I am going to take this bag out because that’s his favorite backpack in his wardrobe, but we used some charm and we promised that we will return it in one piece in 15 minutes maximum!

 

 

Then my mom remembered where we could make good photos, we just run into first tram which we saw. She explained to me that the building where we used to live might be the perfect spot for shooting. Come on, I don’t even have any idea on my mind, however, I followed the famous sentence “mothers know the best!”, so I listened her advice. Now, I think that was a perfect idea! We made interesting pictures. Yeah, I must admit that we stayed little longer than 15 minutes, our friend was little angry, but we bought him a nice chocolate so everything was good! Thanks God!

 

 

My dear ones we have come to the end of this post, time always flies so fast when you’re having a good time! Don’t worry in a couple of days I will write a new post for all you guys, where we will discover some of the beauties of Morocco together. I can’t wait to show you, I’m so excited!
