Fashion Brands At Salone Dei Mobili Milano

April 15, 2013 by The CoF

Just how relevant home collections have become for fashion brands was shown by the fact that more of them than ever showed at the fairgrounds during Salone del Mobile in Milan, which closed Sunday, while those designers showing outside the fair continued to expand their collections. All the lines mirrored the labels’ most luxurious — and extreme — runway looks. There were strips of electric blue fur for pillows at Fendi; emerald green velvet chairs from Versace; patchwork ponyskin carpets […]

February 27, 2013 by The CoF

Based on a custom-made pair of boots made for Beyoncé, Cesare Casadei created a whole range of embellished styles for fall.   Brian Atwood’s intricate laser-cut and fused suede over-the-knee boots gave a sexy slant to gypsy chic.   With hardware that resembles a tube of lipstick, Bulgari’s lipstick bag comes bejeweled with semiprecious stones such as rhodonite and purple jade.

Tribute To Gianni Versace

December 2, 2012 by The CoF

Gianni Versace’s clothes are known for their striking colours, materials and cuts: sexy to the point of vulgarity.

Gianni loved designing the clothes himself and soon he was selling them out of his mother’s shop. He moved on, furthering his understanding of the rag trade by working as a […]
