EDITOR’S LETTER 156
P
assword: Power. It can be seen and interpreted in many ways, in general it is often seen by people as something negative that the powerful use to overwhelm the weak. Here I’d like to think of it as something to think about and aspire to. How much unused power does each of us have? Certainly humans have some very great ones: to get up, reinvent themselves, survive. Today we celebrate all these people who struggle every day looking at their dreams from bottom and who are really committed to achieve them, those who have achieved the goal or are doing it. We celebrate human dedication, our power. Editor-in-chief Facebook: @marta.forgione Instagram: @martaforgione

must have by Laura Zanovello
This Spring features a variety of new faces as well as old friends. We all know by now that warmer weather equals brighter colours and curious patterns -which were widely present and represented in a widespread 70s vibe- but along with that, more earthy and neutral colours have been found amongst the creations of many designers, giving a good balance of fun and classy to play with. In terms of shapes and volumes, there is yet another contrast. The boss lady, with her square blazers and wide shoulders, was walking along a more romantic friend that loves bows and soft layers of fabric. There is room for everyone to express themselves or, why not, to mix things up. The cherry on top was represented by practicality, perfectly embodied by the biker shorts that are not only easier and more democratic than those very-short-shorts that models look so good in, but also quite versatile and pair well with virtually any top, or blouse, or jacket, or dress even! In terms of accessories, a special mention goes to bags. The summery vibe we love is translated into the use of nets and fringes, and that artisanal look that makes us think of those little stands on the beach. On the other side the accessory that keeps everyone still in love is the belt bag, aka fanny pack, that has been under the spotlight for a few seasons and does not seem to have lost its appeal. As far beauty is concerned there was a shift from clothes to face and hands for our dear shimmers and sparkles. Sparkly eyeshadows and metallic mani are going to be big this season and glossy, shiny hair will do their part too. It is always worth remembering that sunscreen should be worn all year round, but especially in spring and summer it is important to be more aware of the reapplication. SPF should not mess with a full face of makeup and, to preserve it, the innovations in the beauty industry come to the rescue. Spring 2019 Trends
TAKE A BOW
1.
This retro/ultra feminine staple is coming back in full force on dresses, blouses, skirts and shirts. The proportions are exaggerated on clothes but more subtle alternatives can be found on accessories such as hair ties and earrings. A winning look can be achieved with making our bow the start of the show and keeping the rest very minimal. The only exception? A not so subtle sparkle on the eyes to keep things interesting, one of the big beauty trends for this spring.

Editor’s letter PANTONE LIVING CORAL
the Elegance of
IN YOUR DESIGN
photo by shutterstock
It’s not orange, it’s not pink and it hold all the variety and beauty of nature: Living Coral recalls the vivid shades of the Reef in its most cheerful and colourful manifestation. by Veronica Valdambrini
Colours have the ability to evoke different feeling and reactions. The influence of them can completely change the idea we have of a certain space or element, moreover the colours we surrounds ourselves with can have a profound impact on our lives. For this 2019 PANTONE bets on coral, the eco-friendly and the right mix of retro and social aesthetics colour. A bold and playful colour full of energy where pink and orange meet each other. It is an animating and lifeaffirming red coral hue, evokes images of tropical seas. It’s bold and loud, yet warm and elegant at the same time, symbolising our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits. PANTONE Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression. p.26
This beautiful colour represents the fusion of modern life, is a nurturing colour that appears in the natural surroundings and at the same time, displays lively presence within social media. PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral is orangish coral hue with a golden undertone. We rely so much on social media and technology in interaction, which has made us distant and less empathic. Therefore, Living Coral reminds us to take care of each other, nurture intimacy and authentic connection. This colour is supposed to have “humanizing” factor, said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone. “Living Coral - even the name is energetic and makes us reflect on the stunning beauty we find in nature,” said Pantone linking the choice of coral hue to two common themes ecosystems and climate change. “With consumers craving human interaction and social connection, the humanising and heartening qualities displayed by the convivial Pantone Living Coral hit a responsive chord”. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute The Colour of the Year 2019 represents corals and more generally talking oceans, consequently, it is a way to make us to reflect about the “devastating” effect the society on the environment.
The bright, pinky orange is certainly a fun, warm, and poppy colour choice to celebrate this year. Living Coral is a hymn to the positivity, and in 2019 we will see it express in infinite shapes, in design as well in fashion and it will be inspiration for designers and creatives. Designers have already been sharing some stellar works inspired by this coral hue during the SS19 Fashion shows: red coral looks and dresses with feathers in red and orange with Marc Jacobs, coral top and headband with Miuccia Prada, bold coral dress with shells in Altuzarra catwalk, avant-garde top with Sacai and Chanel with its accessories.

This colour is linked to tactility and human connection so it’s perfect in shag rugs, cozy blankets and lush upholsteries to create a warm and friendly feeling at home, also this hue adds, without overdo, a dramatic pop of colour to any room setting. It matched beautifully with fresh white, soft greys and along with lighter woods, also it is particularly fascinating when it is combined with light blues and dirty purples, creating and instilling a sense of positivity and lightness idyllic. Leave your mark by inspiring with warm, tropical and contemporary atmosphere thanks to a cool matching of the trendiest colours.
A retro taste in trend with the ultimate vintage aesthetic but also with a trendy and contemporary appeal, Living Coral will set up intimate environments full of personality. So which is the best way to incorporate this enchanting hue, so delicate and challenging into our home decor? It’s expression of a lively nature but don’t be frightened of its brightness. Living Coral is softer than coral, then easier to use in interiors. Its warm and comfortable hues will be perfect to jazz up your walls.

As Victoria Beckham Limited announces new beauty range, we take a look back at some of the designer’s memorable beauty looks throughout her 25-years in the public eye

Designer Victoria Beckham once declared, ‘I believe you can achieve anything in life if you work hard enough to get it’. As living proof of that statement, Beckham’s impressive transformation from former Spice Girl and David’s other half to major player within the fashion realm continues to expand with announcement of the upcoming launch of Victoria Beckham Beauty set to debut in Autumn/Winter 2019. Tongues were wagging and rumors circulating back in 2018 when, much to the delight of her fans, Beckham revealed she was starting up a YouTube channel that would feature beauty tutorials. No stranger to using social media platforms for leverage, the beauty and wellness products will be sold exclusively through her official website, directly to consumers as previously done through the VB fashion line before she branched out into standalone stores.

Editor’s letter
And just like that, the Fall/ Winter 2019 runway season ended. In a whirlwind, it created another new batch of memorable fashion moments that impacted and inspired us all. Case in point: Christy Turlington returning to the runway after a two-decade absence for Marc Jacobs’ NYFW show. An appearance by Grace Jones for Tommy Hilfiger in Paris. Or then, Max Mara quoting Linda Evangelista in regards to their glamorous collection. Not to mention the fact that baby-Cindy, Kaia Gerber, was pretty much everywhere. Yes, there was the unmistakable scent of nostalgia in the air, largely evoked too by the garments themselves. We witnessed rehashing of seventies (Celine. Michael Kors), eighties (Max Mara) and nineties (Philosophy) styles with modern twists, as well as covetable collections from new and emerging talents. However, we have to address the main talking point amongst fashion folks that arrived like a thunderbolt on the opening day of MFW; the passing of Karl Lagerfeld. We grieved, reminisced upon his work and watched in anticipation as the flow of tributes poured in. All eyes were of course on Fendi and then Chanel who presented their shows as emotions ran high. Chanel’s snow-covered runway in Paris was undoubtedly the cherry on the cake of all of them – a stunning set, major stars and dear friends of the deceased designer out in full force and above all, an exceptionally beautiful and wholesome collection. A true Winter Wonderland. As we mourn what’s lost, we also look toward the future and continue to live in the moment with the excitement of shopping for the latest trends and putting together our wardrobe for the Fall. Spoilt for choice, we’ve selected ten of our predictions for the top trends that stood out that bit more:

PLEATED SKIRTS Whether sparkling, metallic or with ruffles, pleated skirts never really left the trend arena and if you still don’t own one yet, now’s the time. A one-color, mid-length can be adapted to day or night time occasions on a practical level, yet it was the flowing, sheer and shiny skirts at the Fendi show that were a particular highlight.
ASYMMETRICAL NECKLINES Oscar de la Renta, Cushnie and Rosie Assoulin were just a few that provided that off-the-shoulder seductive look and proved that showing that small area of skin around the collar bones can be provocative, and unequivocally glamorous.

ShAUGHNESSY

What is fashion? For many it is unbridled luxury combined with glitter and precious objects; but it can also be synonymous with changes and expression of oneself. Shaughnessy Brown knows it well. Born in 1994, the young Shaughness, fascinated by the world of entertainment and catwalks, decided at the age of 15 to leave the hot Florida and move to the chaotic New York to pursue her dream. Her charm as a girl next door did not pass. She began to collaborate with several designers, taking her first photo shoots, including an editorial for Vogue Italia. Shaughnessy was realizing her dream, but her true nature was still hidden behind long brown hair. It was from the hair that her change started, the long hair made room for a neat little ‘70s helmet, a total black wardrobe and a collection of studded chokers and accessories. The new look so different from the previous

one made Shaughnessy even safer and more determined. This change was welcomed also in the fashion industry, so that Alessandro Michele chose her for the Gucci fashion show in 2016, during the New York Fashion Week. This great opportunity opened great travels and experiences to Shaughnessy. She collaborated on a project with Depeche Mode and even helped Rodarte to celebrate his tenth anniversary walking down his fall/winter 2016 catwalk. “I think it’s about being the person you are,” says Shaughnessy about her explosive success. Excited to have found herself, she faces life with light heartedness but also a lot of ambition. Fun, fresh and full of eccentric charm is also perceived in the shots made for LATEST. With an elegant yet modern style, Shaughnessy decided to show her artistic maturity combined with a strong personality.

eing “fashionable” also means being interested in details. So, what better triumph for accessories than to show them during fashion weeks? A sea of people poured into the street in the most disparate looks; extreme eccentricity or careful search for a modern elegance, all super paparazzato by the many photographers who crowd around the locations of the various shows, hoping to shoot the celebrities. It’s here that the ring, the sunglasses, the signed micro handbags will have the right exposure compared to the normality in which they maybe can go unnoticed. And if we think of the importance of street style in the search for future trends by brands and companies, it is clear why it is so fundamental for a fashion lover to follow not only fashion shows during fashion weeks but also all what happens in the streets.

VERSACE: THE KITH’S NEW CHALLENGE by Eleonora Moneta
The most awaiting capsule collection, for this February 2019, is the collaboration between Versace and Kith, the hype retailer of the moment. After Adidas, Ugg and Coca cola, Kith marks his first project in the field of luxury fashion, announcing Kith x Versace. The iconic baroque prints of the Italian Maison have been reinvented in the theme of streetwear: bomber jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts, but also elegant jackets and shirts to satisfy any type of customer. Kith managed the projects, while Versace collected fabrics. Nylon, velvet, silk and fleece are not lacking in the items offered. The collaboration, half tailored and half sporty, includes not only clothing but also a careful selection of accessories such as: ski boots, medallions and caps with visor, along with the theme of the capsule. For the occasion, the iconic Medusa logo of the maison Versace has also been reinterpreted alongside the word “KITH”.

As We Mourn the Loss of Karl Lagerfeld, what’s next for the brands he left BEHIND?
by Alys Jackman
I
t was 19th February, 2019; the first day of proceedings for Milan Fashion Week, the most glamorous of all: another week in which established and emerging members of the fashion industry from all over the globe had come to unite... but the day soon become tinged with sadness. After dominating high fashion for over half a century, the iconic couturier Karl Lagerfeld, whose name is synonymous with Chanel, had passed away that morning at the age of 85.
Only a week after he made headlines and when speculations started fueling about his health due to missing Chanel’s haute couture shows in Paris (it was his first absence in recent memory), Karl had tapped powerhouse editorin-chief of CR Fashion Book and style icon, Carine Roitfeld, to team up as a permanent collaborator for his namesake brand. Having previously collaborated on the Karl Lagerfeld for H&M line way back in 2004 with much success, and also The Little Black Jacket, it’s clear that he had a great respect for his longtime friend. Through a company announcement, the fashion veteran stated, “[Carine Roitfeld] knows what she wants; she has a vision and she states her vision... She is actually what she seems to be; she matches her image, she fits in her universe, and she is a perfect match for Karl Lagerfeld.”
As with every legend, Karl had a signature look that he stuck to throughout the years. His skinny black suits, the ponytail, the glasses – in an age rife with new talent, he was one of the enduring classics. The Chanel Flap Bag of designers. Inimitable, the German-born designer had been the creative force behind the revival of the brand (nearly in extinction back in the eighties). Whilst the fashion house has a huge void to fill without him, they’ve already named Virginie Viard as his successor. Though relatively unknown, she has in fact been Lagerfeld’s right-hand woman for more than thirty years and Chanel’s creative studio director – seemingly through no coincidence he had already begun introducing her to the public in recent months.

T
he term “De Stijl” in Dutch means “style”. Known also as Neoplasticism, we are talking about an artistic trend that began in the Netherlands in 1917 with a manifesto, De Stijl precisely, published by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg to describe their art which included a search for abstraction, geometry and essentiality. Mondrian’s paintings, in his continuous search for balance and simplicity, actually hide a great job towards his idea of perfection, far from being a fast and “simple” as it is often described by those who do not appreciate very much ‘modern Art’. It is precisely Mondrian who has inspired team of the next editorial. A search for lines, voids, balance, color, with an architectural rendering.
