For my closest friends I like to give something personal, especially for their birthday I'd like to make clothes and accessories. Making clothes for my friends was the way I started to create. This is the dress I made for my friend Chiara. This is a simple and fresh tunic that's inspired by fabric pattern of Marimekko (here is the funny name Marimello). It 's a nice dress to wear on summer days.

Oops! My panties peep out!!!! This could be a perfect outfit for Lady Gaga, as long as I'm the only one that I'm ashamed to go around in my underwear!
Vivienne Westwood is a myth, a reference point for eveybody right from her outset: a forerunner with the punk movement, then with her revolutionary style and now with her Manifesto. Some people, that are at the height of success, extend their business building resorts, opening art gallery , etc... but also in this case Vivienne Westwood's made something more! She's used her experience and her business helping a piece of world such as Africa. In partnership with International Trade Center (ITC), United Nations and Yoox, she's produced a collection of ethical bag in Africa. The Autumn/Winter 2011/12 Vivienne Westwood’s ethical bags are made from recyclable materials by communities of marginalized women. The long term programme has helped more than 7,000 women living in extreme poverty. All those involved in Vivienne Westwood's Ethical Fashion Africa collection are empowered by the pride they take in their work and the new skills learnt. The aim is that many will start their own companies and train the next generation of skilled workers, raising the standard of living in one of the world's most fragile economies. Not charity, just work! Fashion has always seen as symbol of disposable waste, exploitation, flippancy,but in this case Vivienne Westwood 's given us a positive message: FASHION CAN SAVE THE WORLD!

I don't know why but I have a great desire to escape.... Merry Christmas!!!!
In this period I'm at home, not only for Christmas holiday, and I have a lot of free time. So often it happens that I'm sitting on my desk and start reading on line magazine and blogs especially fashion blog... One of the fashion blog that I discover yesterday is http://www.stylescrapbook.com by Andy Torres. She's very nice, quite famous and talks about style, fashion and diy advice. Reading her blog one thing captures my attention, not the style stories, not the fashion pics but simply her story in this video about TEDx Amsterdam woman 2011. I find in her story a lot of things in common with me: architectural backgroud, she studied interior design and I studied architecture, and have a great desire to do something in fashion but don't know how, especially when no one responds to your application... She finds her way blogging, what will be my way?

The only thing to do is listening to your inner voice. Someone call this voice talent (which is in everyone), but Monica Guerritore in this video calls it LOVE. if you listen that voice, don't let indifference imprisons your heart. Here is her speech at TEDx in Florence.
XI commandment: honor your talent!
