Last Sunday I traveled almost 1200 km in a day, took a lot of trains when there was the railway strike. And Everything for only 1.50 hours of dream!
Only because fashion is my passion.
Living this experience in Valentino Atelier is a shock of joy. Everywhere you can breathe perfect harmony and beauty. Dealing with people you usually see in the newspapers and you usually admire their creations, was a dream. It is a pleasant surprise discover that they are friendly and curious, well-disposed to talk to you, (Maria Grazia Chiuri knows where is Belluno!). It seems like the fabulous world of high fashion take you for a ride.

Camilla. I have an interest discussion with her. She studied architecture for three years and now She is a student of IED Roma. Another architect that want to work on fashion.
Yesterday on Vogue.it, I read Franca Sozzani's post about fashion bloggers: Bloggers: a cultural phenomenon or an epidemic issue?
While I was reading this for the first time, I'm thinking how snob she sounds like. Is this a competition on whoever sits in the front row? Probably she doesn't want to share her privileges with common fashion bloggers....
But when I read it for the second time, I've appreciated that she wrote something positive about it:
"At the end if we are being honest, who comments and who buys? Who should we listen to; the buyer or the journalist? Why not a blogger? "
"There some bloggers that are outstanding. Girls and boys who dictated their own style, at times circus like, but personal. They are original, they have invented a new way of communication.
"Not all trends are nice and not all bloggers are good, but so it's for designers and journalists. Time is needed to emerge, and when you make it, to resist. Time decides what's successful or not. What makes history. The blogger phenomenon is too young, too new.
Bloggers offer a fresh, creative, different, non-industry point of view. It's a personal and spontaneous way to live fashion as a real passion and not like a business. Trough bloggers you can know trends streestyle of allover the world daily. In general Internet is more relevant today than any print medium.
Probably the heart of the matter is another: the disease isn't the fashion blogger, but the fashion industry. Will this spontaneous and fresh way to live and communicate fashion survive the attack of viral fashion business?
