ondays do frighten with the responsibility of beginnings, but they are just a white canvas, scary yet inspiring at the same time. The first days of autumn make many of us feel this same way, it’s the start of the school and work year for most, and for the fashion industry this new season is full of the preparation and presentation of the fashion weeks when the trends for the upcoming year get created. In September we need the virtues of power and confidence, and these are the qualities that are owned by the newest lineup of the leading executive designers who talked with us in the latest Fashion&Beauty issue. Read our exclusive interview with Alessandro Dell’Acqua, the designer who faced difficulties by becoming stronger, and today his collections are among the most influential in fashion; the world renowned architect Piero Lissoni who offers advice on how to discover the authentic Milan; and beauty expert Diego Dalla Palma speaks with us about how to discover in yourself the Italian charm.

And last but not least, it has been one year since the first edition of our magazine arrived in Italy. Our readership now probably knows more about the most amazing places in Italy better than the locals, and we’re not slowing down. We’re opening the season filled with new projects and fresh surprises. As these new beginnings inspire us, here’s something to think about. Why don’t we live this entire upcoming year as if everyday was a clean sheet of paper?

FASHION SHOOT Strong individual personality is a trend that beats all styles and fashion influences. Our fashion editorial is inspired by a legendary person, an example of courage and determination, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, Amelia Earhart. After this experience I actually took my first flight on biplane taking a chance to admire Como Lake from a different perspective. No need in hard challenges, just don’t forget to always do something for the first time.

CITY GUIDE SEARCHING FOR THE SUN

August in Italy is a month of vacations, scorching sun, and an iris colored sea. It is a time to relax and clear your mind of work. It is also a unique opportunity to see the deserted streets of Milan without its day-to-day tourists flocking to the city, the busy restaurants and always-in-a-hurry clerks. For those who didn’t choose to visit the sea or the mountains there’s still something to do in Italy. Our City Guide has a couple of ideas to share. If your entertainment program doesn’t seem exciting enough, then just wait till the summer’s end. The Venice Film Festival starts right towards the end of August passing the baton to Fashion Week, Pitti and Milan’s movie show starring talented young directors. You certainly won’t be bored! Make this holiday season one to remember! Valerio Venturi

PALIO DI SIENA 16 T H OF A UGUS T | S I E N A The city will perhaps be a little empty of locals, but it will be full by jockeys, thoroughbred horses, fans and tourists. In the central week of August there is the Palio, a medieval horse race that is part of the DNA of a true Tuscan. Scheduled on 16/8 in Piazza del Campo, in the city center, and begining at 9am when the morning practice is held. Cheer along with the Sienese: they go crazy for this ancient historic race around the palaces of XII century! comune.siena.it

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

27T H OF AUGUS T - 6 T H OF S E P T E M BE R At the end of August, the Venice’s Lido, a thin strip of land east of the Laguna, returns to be leader, thanks to the 71st edition of the Venice Film Festival. Announced well in advance are the names of the Godmother of this edition, the Mediterranean Luisa Ranieri, and those of the director of the film festival, Alberto Barbera, who in the past was the former head of the National Museum of Cinema in Turin, and the titles of the films in the competition. As always, the event will host VIP’s and premieres, as well as a lot of controversial movies. For example? Kim Ki-duk, with his “One on One”, will open the Venice Days this year. The film tells the story of the murder and rape of a girl, the crime of which seven people were convicted. Kim himself has called it “a film about the country where I live, South Korea .” There is a strong chance of controversy coming. Another big moment? Of course, there will be George Clooney, a great lover of Italy and a frequent visitor to the Venetian event. With him and the actors of all the important movies coming out in September 2014, we will see them walking the red carpet and at the parties organized by the sponsors of the Biennale. As always, everything will happen at the Lido, which is called the “Island of Gold “ by the Venetians and worshiped by Lord Byron, who had elected it as his “retreat”. Snubbed by intellectuals, the Lido is one of the living historical testimonies of the Venice Film Festival. labiennale.org

MILAN FILM FESTIVAL 4 T H - 14 T H

S E P T E M BE R

As always, every year the squares, theaters, auditoriums, roads, streets, suburbs, parks, museums, and galleries of Milan will unexpectedly be invaded by more than 200 films visible night and day. Here comes the Milan Film Festival, an event that remains firmly anchored to the production of research carried out by national and international talent. A “democratic”cinema, open to all, which aims to be a forum for exchange and socialization. This year the program will be full of previews and meetings with emerging moviemakers. As has become tradition, including the hot-spots in the city there will be Sempione Park and Milan Triennale for parties and meetings. milanofilmfestival.it FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

CITY GUIDE PERSONA

THE FUTURE OF ITALIAN DESIGN

Renowned architect Piero Lissoni shares with us about his thoughts on Milan as the world capital of design INTERVIEW: Dorin ROSSI, PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

iero Lissoni has a versatile talent. At home and abroad he is known as a furniture and interior designer and architect. He is also the art director of several large Italian companies. One of his latest works is an installation in the Brera Botanical Garden, which he calls the “Geometric Park.” Clearly defined

PIERO LISSONI Founded his own office in 1986 and worked with companies like Alessi, Boffi, Cappellini, Cassina, Flos / Antares, Kartell, Frau, Porro, Riva 1920. Lissoni is also engaged in villas, museums and boutique designs.

TIPS FROM PIERO LISSONI 1. WHAT

TO SEE IN

MILAN ?

First of all, I would mention the must-not-see places. If you want to plunge into the real haute couture world I would not recommend going to the

Why is Milan an international design center?

Orto Botanico Pavillon. Milan 2014 Name: Geometrical Garden Project: Piero Lissoni Furniture: Living divani Sculptures: Laminam

shapes added a touch of elegance to the space and created the illusion of a labyrinth. This project was presented during the Design Week. We met Signor Lissoni to talk about his work, present day Milan and the evolution of architecture. Your park has made a great impression on visitors. What inspired you to create it?

Botanical gardens are a creative playground. There are no limits here, as rain and wind get into the pavilion. It was an absolutely open space. The geometric shapes perfectly fused with the plants.

Do you think that forgotten and abandoned places in Milan should get a second life, or would designers be better to focus on something else?

In your opinion, does architecture and design have a lot in common or are these two concepts that need to be clearly distinguished?

I guess they should drift together again. I never liked the idea of a clear separation. I believe in blending and intersection of these worlds. To this extent, I support romantic ideas of the Milanese school.

Are you talking about the years of your studies?

Our faculty has always prepared excellent professionals who can go far in any field of architecture and design. I think we need to go back to this good tradition.

It’s so simple. Milan is a kind of fore-side. It reflects all that happens in the design industry. Milan is a platform where the whole country can show its achievements and successes. Everything flies around this city. For example, there would be no furniture exhibition without Milan, its industry, production and artisans. Everybody is looking forward to the World Expo 2015. Do you think this event can spice up the polemics about the future of Italian architecture?

This is a temporary exhibition. Millions of visitors from all around the world head to Milan. I hope that they will come not only for the Expo, but to see the city as well. And not only the city but also the whole of Italy. As for the debates, I would leave this topic until the show starts.

I am sure that such corners should definitely get a second chance, not only in Milan but in other cities as well. We need to stop our constant search of new places and finally start to use existing ones. Why don’t we turn abandoned land into architectural sites? Famous critic Philippe Daverio once said that design is halfway between reality and utopia. Do you agree with that?

Absolutely! Philippe Daverio seized the point. Very often design tries to be something really important in human life and change our views and nature in some way. As for me, I’ve always believed that our purpose is different. Every item that I create has to perform its function well, be practical and comfortable, but it shouldn’t effect its owner’s mind.

CORSO COMO

Corso Como can be considerated a synthesis of fashion, design, art and culture. A pedestrian street with old buildings where the old Milanese architecture meets the industrial elements, reinventing a new aesthetic. In this atmosphere you will encounter some of the most stylish shops in town, from concept stores to accessories shops TEXT: Barbara CENTAZZO, PHOTO: Dan SPIGELMAN

BOULE DE NEIGE Boule de Neige is a multibrand store that offers contemporary clothing and accessories that are exhibited in a large white essential space where the atmosphere is enriched with design elements. The items on sale are refined with an enduring style, which could be called the “new classics” from a variety of luxury brands, from Jil Sander to Christian Louboutin. At number 8, in front of the women’s shop, Boule de Neige men.

AVERY PERFUME GALLERY The Avery Perfume Gallery in Milan can be considered a living perfume shop. The concept of the store is to have the customer’s attention centered only on the aromas, for this reason you will notice immediately the lack of packaging. This is a very different experience from the commercial perfumeries where clients choose with the eyes and not with the nose. The aim is rather to make the approach of engaging the rich scents in such a way that you feel comfortable and just focus on the perfume.

C ORSO C OMO

CORSO COMO 10 A wonderful space dedicated to fashion, design, and photography, 10 Corso Como is a cornerstone of the avant garde and cosmopolitan atmosphere of Milan. The interior is divided into four parts; a super stylish fashion shop with carefully selected brands, a gallery that hosts exhibitions with entry that is always free, a luxurious cafè and restaurant surrounded by greenery, and a beautiful bookstore with a wide variety of books and CD’s. A true concept store and a must for everyone who wants to experience the coolest side of Milan.

PROGETTO PORTA NUOVA The city of Milan is undergoing a progressive change to the skyline, an ambitious urban regeneration project that unifies the historical areas of the districts of Garibaldi, Varesine, and Repubblica anche Isola. Part of the project includes luxury residences, the city’s highest skyscrapers, and ultramodern new buildings ready to contain shops and businesses in view of Expo 2015. A new Milan is yet to be discovered!

FAST FASHION

The 60s, a decade that revolutionized fashion and society, has left indelible marks and therefore the designers continue to be inspired by those years. Bring out the mini skirt and the trapeze dresses to pair with knee-high boots or mary jane shoes for a fashionable jump into the past.

Jeremy Scott, in his first collection for Moschino, brings the historic brand to McDonald’s. The Happy Meal becomes a bag, the potato chips an iPhone case, and the models’ dresses as maids have literally made the fiercest fashionistas crazy. The amazing thing was the sale immediately after the show on moschino.com online shop, thus making the collection a real must have.

LEATHER RULE

Forget about the classic fabrics, the top is made of soft and precious leather. The runways have given us a lot of variations of this special material: shirts, t-shirts with ruffles or perforated, and in many different colors. Let’s cover ourselves with leather this winter!

EXAGERATED RUFFLES

The ruches are not simple details but the real protagonists of the skirts and give movement for any type of silouette. They can be delicate and sculptural or very strong, but this year the trend wants to be exaggerated and theatrical, to be wearable both day and night.

CHANEL SUPERMARKET

Karl Lagerfeld, for the Chanel fashion show, has created something absolutely unique. He has trasformed the Parisian catwalk into a luxury supermarket. Models have shopped the shelves wearing truly unique accessories: decorated baskets, egg box clutches, milk carton purses, and many others with the very recognizable cross “C” logo. Editor’s CHOICE

BETWEEN ART AND FASHION

Marni collaborated with two French artists, Christophe Joubert and Francois-Xavier TavySacley and one Italian, Stefano Favaro, for the creation of an art collection. The main inspiration comes from the Art Brut and Outsiders Art, forms of artistic expression that connect to the outside market and institutions. Formal freedom and strong personality are the key points. “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.”

FAIRLY TALE

Benedetta Bruzziches, creator of a brand of bags that bears her name, sells her products in the most glamorous stores in the world, from New York to Paris. Her designs are very unique, f inished with precious details, and sophisticated original shapes. “Life is a cabaret, with this bag even better!”.

BLUE JEANS

Blue jeans are the most comfortable garments to wear. They’re easy to match for a perfect and complete outfit. Last year was the 140 anniversary of denim jeans, and the last few seasons designers have literally gone crazy for this material. Frida Giannini, for Gucci, has dressed the runway models wearing classic denims paired with jackets and retrò coats. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

9 Things That Inspire Me In September

With each turn of the season I feel the desire for change in the air. The four fashion weeks have brought a large number of trends to follow, and the only thing to do is to throw yourself headlong into the ones you prefer the most and that reflect your own being. There is a form of individualism in which everyone can dare in the spirit of determination to boldly seize the new season. So give space to the fashion hazards, while embracing the strokes of colors, the shiny, metallic materials and to the architectural structures. The autumn is near, so try to wear the sun. 7. BAG, PROENZA SCHOULER, 4.405€

1. CHLOÉ

CASUAL CHIC I can’t imagine a more delicate and charming dress than this burnt orange frock from the Chloé fall/ winter collection. The color, the graceful ruffles and the flowy fabric inject a bit of spring into the gloomy days of the colder season.

ARTSY RETRO Cat eye sunglasses are a perfect match for the first fall looks on chilly days. Fendi has created a reinterpretation of this summer’s Iridia, for an ultra colored winter.

ROMANTIC FUTURISM I’m absolutely in love with this Christopher Kane dress made with fluttering swaths of organza piled high to create a geometric ruffle effect. I really like the way the creators played with fabric and design.

2. SUNGLASSES, FENDI

GOLDEN HEEL Alber Elbaz is all about making a woman feel like the most beautiful creature that she is. I adore these shoes which remind me of the Old Hollywood glamour with a modern day power.

It is interesting to recognize the evolution of style, taste, thought and ideas.

COLORFUL MINIDRESS

The minidress has always been a must-have for women, to be worn on certain occasions or even every day in many different ways. The only differences compared to other seasons are that this year the minidress is even more sculptural and colorful than ever before, just like the ones in the Mary Katrantzou collection.

One of a few cases when a tiara would be a reasonable accessory for a non-royal girl is a wedding. No question can arise while choosing a tiara, diadem or aigrette as Chaumet’s jewelry

is unrivalled. Royal and aristocratic pieces are the points of pride for the Maison with its Le Grand Frisson de Chaumet collection is cold, festive and perfect in terms of the classical jewelry laws. “Le frisson” is translated as “trembling”, or “chill”. However, Chaumet explains that “Le frisson” is a love trembling, chill or a kind of alchemy. Such an interpretation is not casual for the brand that pays close attention to the symbolism and precious love signs. Korloff’s selection presents a jewelry addition for lovers. The jewelry house offers an innovative idea of using nail polish. Now it is applied to the inner side of the ring, while the outer is covered with diamonds. Nail polish is like a jewel as it can be admired by the owner only. Bride and groom can embody their love in rings choosing a perfect shade of love. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

FASHION PERSON

oday the inspiration and founder of N ° 21, Alessandro Dell’Acqua, is one of the brightest personalities in the Italian fashion industry. Since 2013 he has been working as the creative director for the French brand Rochas. His influence on the company’s style is glaringly obvious. Alessandro capably combines masculine and feminine elements, creating aesthetically perfect clothing combinations. The designer is avid on experimentation, but at the same time, he remains true to the best traditions of dressmaking. Your brand N ° 21 is gaining popularity, not only in Italy, but also abroad. How did the idea of creating this project come about? Why did you choose the number 21? Surely it has a special meaning to you.

Your creations celebrate feminine beauty and elegance. Your vision of art seems very instinctive and natural, as if ideas cross your mind without any effort. Where do you get your inspiration from?

ALESSANDRO DELL’ACQUA Fashion & Beauty met up with the founder of the young brand N ° 21 to get his view of vogue, Italian quality and the fashion industry’s future INTERVIEW: Paolo BRISCESE, PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

For me inspiration can have completely different roots. Oftentimes, an idea comes from a bright impression caused by some affair or event. If this feeling gets stuck in your head, there is a big chance that it will turn into something more. It can be a frenzy for the cinema, for example. I’m a big movie buff, but I’m also keen on female silhouettes, sophistication and the sensual actresses of Italian neorealism. Moreover, I’m enthusiastic over the style and refined taste of Milan’s social elite representatives. All of it becomes a sketch of future ideas that afterward takes on its specific forms, volumes, and eventually they turn into fullfledged collections.

What, in your opinion, should a fashion brand have to be noticed and appreciated?

Designers should be able to join common objects from life and trends. The main thing any creator must avoid is nostalgia. I think following these rules is a starting point of brand development.

Which aspect of your job do you like most and which do you not like?

I like the process of turning ideas into something concrete, as well as an opportunity to make something creative. The least I like about my job is social activities with camera lenses trying to catch me, and so on. Last year, you were asked to enter the office of creative director in the French brand Rochas. What does such a high opinion of your work mean to you? How will this position effect the brand’s new collections?

Being a man over 50, I’m so happy to be in such an important place. In fact, I was very surprised at the Rochas’ choice. There are a lot of talented and younger designers all around. But the fact that I was taken into confidence means the great importance of “Made in Italy” label. We continue to do a good job, and due to this we’re well known far beyond the home country. At the age of 23 you were entrusted in the position as Genny’s creative director. Which changes that have occurred during this time in the world of fashion were the most rigorous?

There were very many of them. Some were very obvious, while the others weren’t noticeable at first glance. For example, when I look at the images created by myself 10 years ago, I absolutely do not feel nostalgia. On the contrary, I quite calmly understand that I always need to move on in spite of everything.

The fashion world is constantly changing, so you must always be open to new trends.

My desire to create and my aesthetic taste still remains unchanged. Today, I don’t opt for something extravagant and incredible for a catwalk, but for things every woman needs in her everyday life. How do you manage to follow fashion trends and keep the classic, artisan approach to business at the same time?

These two things seem incomparable. Over the years I have become a realist and a pragmatist. I no longer dream of catwalk shows similar to the real performances. I’m trying to create collections aimed at consumers. Today, much has changed in our business. Nowadays a designer should be not only an entrepreneur and manager, but feed his creative vision as well. What do you think about fashion’s low cost networks and growing affordability of designer items?

Many high fashion brands have already evolved. Apart from exclusive collections and podium stuff, they began to create more ready-to-wear lines. Moreover, now you can get whatever you want via the Internet. Thus, the consumer’s attitude to shopping is changing as well. And we must take it into account. You often travel abroad. What does

traveling mean to you?

My fantasy is often up in the clouds, even if I keep still. But traveling is, first of all, a discovery for me. It baits my curiosity as well as emotional thirst. It is a very challenging and fascinating experience. Do you think any Italian brand is ready for generational change?

I would say this change is necessary. There are no other options. We must become more united, work systematically, and continue to think creatively. The best feedback is an action. We need to support young and promising designers, promote close cooperation between private and public sectors, hold activities in the world of fashion. Italy is a treasure that is yet to be fully discovered, this is particularly so with the fashion industry. Your world is full of emotions, discoveries and researches. Do you have an ultimate goal?

Investigations and research still go on. I do not want to feel like a man who has already done everything in his life. I will always strive for new experiments and sensations. Fashion is an exciting world full of passion. And we, designers, become its reflection. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

itti Uomo’s new session has started with table tennis. Two giant rackets and dozens of tables have been installed in the courtyard. The ping pong balls were bouncing from one playing field to another on their own. Visitors were pretty amazed watching a virtual match. Finally their curiosity was answered by Pitti Immagine’s Deputy General Director, Agostino Poletto, who said: “Ping Pong is a constant movement, concentration, passion and sleight of hand. Fashion has the same elements that help to create new models’ style and choose fabric, color and cut.”.

This year exhibitors took a new look at the classic men’s fashion, adding prints and unusual fabrics that are rough, bulky and scratched. Colors turned out brighter and accessories more stunning.

Next summer designers advise to opt for bright ties, as well as cotton or linen jackets and shirts with floral patterns. Accessories and shoes are going to be pastel colored. The famous Madison 308 shoes by Cesare Paciotti and hats by Borsalino will be no exception. Massimo Rebecchi pays much attention to jackets, as he did before. Next summer they will be less formal, much to the casual style fans’ delight. Italian brand opts for lightweight fabrics with a delavè effect.

Everyday stationery got a glamorous touch and so occurred the summer trend of 2015. Turning to the classic men’s style setters, Ermenegildo Zegna should not go unmentioned. The brand introduced a concise collection called Z Zegna. It is marked by a sporty cut, soft lines and a modest color palette. Urban gray, brown and blue shades ran the catwalk show. Yellow is the key singular vibrant hue to be mentioned. It seems that the Zegna styled man is trying to merge with the city and become an integral part of the metropolis, at one with where he lives and works.

If you want to escape the hustle and daily routine, laze in the sun or even hide from the world on a snow white yacht prowling the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean, take a ticket to Palermo and, following my advice, stay in the exclusive residence of Villa Tasca.

By the way, two swans living in the villa were named Tristan and Isolde after the heroes of famous opera by Richard Wagner who was the villa’s honorary guest.

TIME FOR FUR

Winter 2014 will be the golden age of fur accessories, especially bags, which populate the collections of almost every high fashion house. The possibilities are many and often very eccentric. We remember Cara Delevingne opening the Fendi fashion show exhibiting a mini Karl Lagerfeld in fur, an ironic tribute that was both funny and ultra-luxurious. It’s called the Bag Boy Karlito and it is the evolution of the Bag Bugs of Fendi. Who doesn’t want one?

FASHION JEWELRY

LOFTY SENTIMENTS Rare, unique, sophisticated – these are the true luxury items from the collections of fine jewelry TEXT: Kseniya NEKRASOVA, PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

he best jeweller’s workshops produce a genuine miracle. Precious materials transform into wonderful adorments that are nothing short of real treasures of art. Jewelry from the haute joaillerie collections has always called attention to itself just as the haute couture shows in the world of fashion. In a sense, fine jewelry is the magic of luxury and dreams. Gems that have been recently extracted from the earth’s womb turn into stunning iridescent jewelry. What distinguishes high jewelry art from the permanent collections? First of all, we need to know that any piece of fine jewelry should be unique and certainly expensive. For example, Chopard’s designer Caroline Gruosi Scheufele believes that the price of the haute joaillerie item should exceed 40,000 Euro.

This price is due to the unique decoration, special materials, meticulous work of the jewelers and, of course, relation to the art in a broad sense. Professionals believe that fine jewelry can be distinguished from ordinary pieces by observing its inner side - only first class jewelers can make it flawless. Jewelry art starts where idea and stone meet together. First, sketches turn into the key 3D drawings made by the craftsmen that combine precious metal serving as a mold with specially selected gemstones. This subtle and complex process serves as a basis for creating genuine works of fine jewelry. One of the Maisons that has long been giving special attention to the Mètres des arts is Dior. The Dear Dior collection is another tribute to the maestro, Christian Dior’s, epoch. This noetic line has no random parts.

The back side of each piece has a delicate lace pattern reminiscent of one that embellished Christian’s dresses. Perfection of the items is based on the precise attention to details. Van Cleef & Arpels is also famous for its fine jewelry collections. Their recently updated collection, called Pierres de Caractere Variations, proves that designers give equal priority to the high art and permanent collections. Boucheron traditionally offers jewelry designs inspired by f lora and fauna. Designers emphasize the use of premium quality gems that are diamonds, Madagascar and Kashmiri sapphires, Colombian emeralds and Ceylon rubies. All haute joaillerie items are unique and beautiful, each after its own kind. We can only hope they will bring a lot of joy to their owners and adoring audiences.

Sun and sea – these are the reasons why thousands of tourists every year are eager to come to Italy. However, the vacation you’ve been waiting so long for may fall short of your expectations if you don’t take care of your UV protection in time. In fact, UV radiation damages not only your skin but hair as well. Therefore, we have prepared a couple of tips that will keep your hair beautiful even under the scorching sun

hose who spend their holidays in Italy can hardly resist the temptation of visiting Milan, Rome and Florence, and lazing around at least a week at the seaside, sunbathing and enjoying the fantastic sunsets. But it helps to remember that the Italian summer can bring some troubles along with your joyful moments. Sun, high humidity or an extremely dry climate, depending on the region, may adversely effect your hair.

Every self-respecting cosmetic brand offers a lot of hair care products, and you probably already know about all kinds of moisturizing, nourishing and revitalizing hair masks and oils. Therefore, we focus on traditional grandmother-proved remedies that are no less effective. Shampooing is not enough. It perfectly cleans, but dries your hair and scalp as well. Therefore, don’t forget to use balm and a special softening and nourishing mask after washing your hair to regain its healthy balance.

Select a proper sun protection. If you are not inspired with caps or broad-brimmed hats, then stock up on SPF balm. Before buying, always make sure that it is a leave-in product and will protect your hair up to the next washing. Take care of your hair after going to the pool! If you are away from the sea, but still want to treat yourself with swimming, you can easily f ind a good spa or pool in Italy. However, do not forget that chlorine can weaken your hair, making it brittle and dry. To avoid this, always use shampoo after swimming. A professional brand with argan oil would be the best one. Coffee is a versatile pick-me-up. If you’ve noticed your hair falling out while combing, try to massage strong and warm coffee into the scalp. Set 15 minutes aside to make your hair shine. It’s not a secret that the sun makes hair dry and shine less. To give its healthy look back use a homemade mix of almond oil and shea butter. Cover your head with a warm wet towel, and leave the mask on for 15 minutes. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

Choose natural. Each hair stylist will confirm that in the summer hair suffers from stress no less than in winter. Therefore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to avoid highlighting, permanent straightening and other treatments that can damage the hair structure. Also, keep the use of hair dryers and stylers to a minimum! Use post-treatment masks after vacations. You feel relaxed after the summer holidays, but your hair doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, it is exhausted and weakened. One of the quickest and most effective ways to bring back the beauty and radiance to your hair is to use a homemade vitamin E and olive oil mask. Keep it on overnight and wash it off in the morning. You will see your hair becoming stronger and silkier. If you have dry hair, there is nothing better than a slightly warmed olive oil mask. Apply it richly onto your hair and wash it off in half an hour. Then let it air dry in the sun or choose the lowest temperature on your blow dryer. Your hair will be soft to the touch, getting natural shine and volume. If you have oily hair, then get ready to learn the simplest solution ever! Boil a liter of water and dissolve two teaspoons of salt in it. As the water cools down a bit, use it while shampooing and wash it off at the end. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

How to get a stunning look for fall? Makeup artist and international beauty expert Diego Dalla Palma knows the answer. An American icon, The New York Times, tagged him as the «Italian prophet of makeup». If you want to be on top then don’t be afraid of experimenting - Diego shares beauty secrets TEXT: Paolo SALERNO, PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

n Italy the name of Diego Dalla Palma has long been synonymous with f lawless makeup. Since the 70’s he has been giving the fairer sex precious tips on f lattering their assets and hiding blemishes. «I am sure femininity is worthy to be praised and highlighted - for example, using bright red lipstick and extravagant hairstyles,» says Diego. Would vibrant accents be good for summer when makeup is usually more natural and less visible?

Let’s start with foundations. On hot summer days you’d better use multifunctional BB or CC creams (both types are presented in almost all cosmetic companies). It’s not so heavy textured as cream powder, and therefore it perfectly moisturizes your skin, making it smooth and shimmery. There are products for wrestling with the appearance of wrinkles, protection from the sun and hiding skin blemishes. Instead of creams I advise using bronzers. As to eyes I opt for mascara or dark liner to make your look piercing. Using them both will make you a true femme fatale. Well, and the last touch is a simple lip gloss or lipstick of some vivid color. Each season requires a special product that every girl should always have in her purse. What is the first thing to take with you this fall?

Nail polish! Aquamarine, light

FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

green, olive and pale gray as well as metallic gray and white are the best shades for the beach holidays. If you want to look more extravagant, I advise to choose yellow, gold or orange polish. Red lovers won’t be disappointed as the classic red is still trendy. It is great for fair-skinned women and looks stunning on darkskinned hands. And for those who prefer bright shocking shades, I recommend trying electric blue, deep blue, purple, sapphire and indigo. What about urban-style makeup? What do you need to look flawless during the workday and at evening parties?

Choose bright colors that best highlight the tan - for example, orange eyeshadows or pearl and bronze hues. A brickcolored eye pencil will make your look more impressive. Draw a thin line under the lash line of the eyes. This trick is used by many Eastern women in order to create a more languid and sensual air. To look elegant during the day, wear a pique dress. White, red, yellow, electric blue, green and pink are the key colors this season. Translucent and airy dresses, cotton crop trousers with a T-shirt, and veiling skirts with romantic blouses are not to be missed as well. Thin-heeled sandals would be a good match here. A low cut black dress looks

spicy in the evening. It is best matched with long pearl earrings and a bracelet. If you opt for bright colors, then choose turquoise together with white accessories. Put on jeans and a top, and add a pendant on a thin chain to get your casual outf it. If you want to look more aggressive, wear a long gown with a cutout back. Do not forget the necklace! Remember it should «fall» back, showing off your bare

shoulders. Put on a wide metal bracelet as a final touch.

HOT TIPS

Don’t forget about the perfect manicure before going out! Various shades of green and gray, as well as white, are in now.

BEAUTY DNA PERFECT SHAPE Opening up new horizons in the field of body care, Biotherm’s laboratory experts have developed a light anti-cellulite gel Body Sculpter which includes active ingredients that make a body’s shape more accurate reducing its volume. First of all, we need to mention sulfocarrabiose derived from a mix of different seakale extracts. This ingredient has a powerful splitting action, making skin visibly tightened.

BEAUTY FROM THE DEPTHS Biotherm is traditionally related to the sea. The first of the brand’s products contained a mysterious ingredient called « krenum «, which was a dried thermal plankton. It is notable that even many years along Biotherm still uses highly effective ingredients from the seabed. Furthermore, even the official logo reflects the power of the water element embodied in an illimitable wave.

BIOTHERM

The first cosmetic brand which began using thermal plankton for skin care

Biotherm has a special product PureFect Skin - 2 in 1 mineral clay mask. It’s perfect for cleaning pores and removing deep dirt. Its high efficiency is due to two components: a cleansing clay and a peeling diatom’s extract. It works very delicately, without scratching or damaging your skin.

1952

The history of Biotherm begins as Jeanine Marissal, biologist and pioneer, becomes the first to establish the brand and formulate the key principles of its philosophy.

1973

Biotherm launches the world’s first sunscreen with antiaging effects.

1985

Biotherm produces a skin care line for men. Their wrinkle eliminator and moisturizer with a tanning effect are among the new sensations.

NIGHT TR ANSFORMER Biotherm likes to surprise. That’s why its face and body care line is frequently refreshed with some new unique products. For example, the night serum oil, Blue Therapy, has become a real wonder. It transforms in three stages by direct skin contact: first, its texture resembles a light fresh gel, then it looks like a nutrient serum, and finally transforms into a warming oil that does not leave any sticky or greasy effects. Consequently, your skin becomes more elastic and tightened.

FOUR DATES IN THE BRAND’S HISTORY

2009 FOR ANY TASTE AND COLOR Miraculous Biotherm’s Oil & Tonic can be used in different ways. Spray it on your skin after sunbathing to get a long-lasting suntan with dazzling splendor. Furthermore, this product perfectly moisturizes your skin and has a good absorbency, so you are ready to put on your clothes and hit the road in a moment. There is another option available: add a bit of Oil & Tonic to hot water and take a nice bubble bath.

Biotherm cooperates with the French automaker Renault. They worked together on the first spa car prototype ZOE Z.E. (with zero emissions ). It is a 100% electric vehicle equipped with a spray fragrance by Biotherm with all the owner’s wishes considered. FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

BEAUTY PERSONA

UNIVERSE OF COLORS «A woman is no longer a woman without a manicure,” says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics, “Correct your nail shape, add some color - and you’re the queen!”

ssie Weingarten was among the f irst to give names to her nail polishes. Numbers are simple and boring, that’s why today Essie has; «Face Control is Not a Problem», «Dive Headf irst», and a «Millionaire’s Wife» in her beauty arsenal. Where do you get inspiration for new nail polish names?

ESSIE WEINGARTEN, BEAUTY EXPERT, FOUNDER

Everywhere. It is as spontaneous as the shades I create. The names of my nail polishes are always a pun, something funny and memorable. I think giving numbers is meaningless because nobody can remember it. Moreover we have too many numbers in our life: passwords, phone numbers, house and street numbers...

Are there any shades of polish that always remain in fashion?

I believe no color can be in fashion constantly. You need to choose one that you really like, as well as a shape and length of the nails. As for me, neat and short nails are the best, and enormously long ones are good for glamour photo shoots only, not for life. But let me say

again it’s up to everyone. If you want to be on trend you had better follow the latest fashion shows. This year many gurus have played on a juicy and cheerful orange. I guess orange will f ind its fans in Russia, as Russian girls like bright and showy colors. I remember 30 years ago a color palette of polishes was far from perfect. If the nail tech had 5 or 6 colors, you were supposed to be lucky. I didn’t like that. I need dozens of polish shades - although hundreds would be even better. What can be called the perfect manicure?

Well-kept! All the nails should be straight, smooth and healthy. You need to remember two simple rules to keep your nails beautiful. Firstly, remove a cuticle but never cut it as the more you cut it the more it grows. Don’t forget to put a nail butter in your bag. Secondly, take a break during the application to get a longlasting effect. Wait two minutes before applying the second layer of polish.

CLARISSA’S BIRTH

International exhibition Salone del Mobile meets a charming celebutante - Clarissa. Moroso presents its new chair model, designed by Patricia Urquiola, and hand-colored by Santoni artisans. Patricia explains that, «I wanted to combine Santoni’s high fashion and Moroso’s modern forms. I’ve tried to find the embodiment of innovation, experimentation and irony, using Santoni’s leather for the Clarissa chair.” Seems like she has done it. The chair is presented in two variations, real brown leather with orange cushions (Santoni’s key color) and green leather with gray cushions. Such a different Clarissa.

Arsenale, Monditalia

has been around for over a century, the architectural line developed just 14 years ago. Since then the space for exhibition has been constantly expanding. It includes public gardens as well as the Old Arsenal. The Monditalia pavilion has a full-wall screen projecting videos, photos and other images. This large screen somehow reflects Italy and the whole world through it along with its great achievements and mistakes.

CHINA, People’s Republic of China Mountains beyond Mountains

Creators of this installation hint at the fact that lately we’ve been missing something really important. Film frames flash before

the visitors’ eyes reminding them of ancient Roman suburbs and Italian villages. Now let’s move to the other countries’ pavilions and start with the Celestial Empire. Here one can sip a cup of traditional Chinese tea f lipping through the books about major stages in the architectural development of this country. The hall decoration combines typical Asian style and hi-tech elements. Part of the exhibition is devoted to Beijing. Visitors can see the 3D models of the capital’s seven districts, and the way they’ve been changing over time. >

n the 14th of June the long awaited architectural forum has opened. The theme chosen by the curator Rem Koolhaas is «Fundamentals» or «Basics». The exhibition offers to trace the way architecture has changed over the last 100 years. According to the promoters, a meaningful f lashback will help to envisage the future of art. It’s the f irst display devoted to architecture, not to certain architects’ creativity. Despite the fact that the Venice Biennale

Arsenale

In the Arab pavilion everyone can study booklets, which include 100 of the brightest architectural Art Nouveau projects located in Lebanon, Morocco and other eastern states. In the matter of the Italian Hall, the curator Chino Zucchi decided to focus on the eclectic face of Milan. Constructions ranging from the Gothic Duomo to the modern skyscrapers in Porta Garibaldi came into his sight. The second part of the display is devoted to the development of modern architecture in the cities of high historical signif icance. This topic will be painstakingly considered during the world Expo-2015.

The central hall, «Biennale», presents a piece-wise look at the architecture where the ceiling, f loor, walls and windows are intentionally separated. By the way, the frames are worthy to be mentioned as they were specially brought to Venice from the English museum of windows. The most controversial freestanding section is devoted to elevators, while the “Ladders” workshop is really interesting. This part of the exhibition comes out of the research and investigations conducted by Tim Nugent, an architect with disabilities. Aside from the «Biennale» pavilion, which is the core of the exhibition, we advise to

visit the other sites, for example, the show spaces dedicated to the Nordic countries. The Russian spot allows you to follow all changes in the architectural look of the country and learn the design of historic buildings as well as modern constructions. The Australian pavilion can be considered as the most technologically advanced one. Using a tablet you can consider 3D architectural projects in detail - not only completed ones, but also those at the design or construction stage. The Israeli hall will astonish you with equipment. A special machine draws the main state buildings on the sand, then deletes them and starts anew. The 14th Biennale can undoubtedly boast of rich and worthwhile content, especially of the Art Nouveau exhibition segment. Here you can mark the works of the Brazilian and Mexican architects that have successfully f it contemporary designs in the cities’ historical background.

ART OF XRAY

We spoke with Alessio Girelli, an artist demonstrating the unique technique of X-ray painting

over everything else. I’d like to reach something like that. After my experience in the morgue I decided to try working with such a mysterious material as an X-ray. It’s a kind of life reflection within the human. A medical check-up reveals changes and mutations occurring in the body. Artwork performs the same function. Today, scientists use X-rays in order to detect the first layers of paint on the canvas and pick up the artist’s idea as well as the changes he had made in the picture at different stages of work. So, for example, new brush strokes “killed” the old ones. I wanted to show the bottom side of things, using an X-ray as a symbol of art’s victory over death. Pictures show you something you cannot see with the naked eye.

At what moment did you realize that you would cast your lot with art?

I started drawing when I was 4, and since then I’ve never put my brush aside. I also explore the world using a pencil, a camera and a video camera. These tools serve me as a filter. I guess an artist’s soul is restless and irrepressible. Perhaps that makes us see the world differently than others. Art is a way of communication that allows us to express our vision and mental mood. But everything has its price. We will hardly ever feel absolute happiness and harmony. Where did you get your education?

I studied at the Academy of Arts and always set up experiments.

104

FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

Why did you start painting X-rays? How did you get this idea?

I am a big fan of Gothic literature. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of my favorite characters. He is a demiurge trying to create a living being from a dead matter. An uncontrollable monster comes to life in the wake of mutation. Here creativity triumphs

How do you create your works?

I cover a shot with light and dark enamel, creating different shapes that interact with the image of an X-ray. Thus my work begins to live its own life. There is no clear outcome, because the process is endless, in other words, we have a “work in progress”. The mysterious entity of the snapshot merges with its man-made supplement. Do you have any favorite themes and art objects?

I have a wide range of interests including feudal Japan, ancient civilizations, mythology, mysterious phenomena and spirit animals. At the beginning of my

PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

How would you describe your work?

It is very eclectic. I always try out and search for something new. The key word for me is “transformation”. Just as Antoine Lavoisier said, “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed”. My art is an attempt to “revive” the objects, giving them a new meaning and content.

10 years ago I won my first prize of Cortopotere Short Film Festival in Bergamo. This clip was a reflection on our relationships with the alter-ego.

the dark. Figures of animals and people become more visible. Caimans, deer and gorillas get incredible shapes. Vital energy bursts out through the light flashes and the strokes seem to flutter in the light. You often use animalistic images in your work...

They embody human passions for me. I love nature and draw inspiration from its infinite wisdom and harmony. My paintings are mysteriously connected to the images of the human skeleton. Light helps to show the way we look inside, showing our perfection and extreme fragility at the same time.

work I used very strident colors. Now I interpret historical and social phenomena in an ironic manner. In my works the figures of women, athletes, soldiers, animals and cartoons interlace all the time. What challenges do you face in work?

The surface of the X-ray is quite difficult to apply an image or negative pattern to. The picture should strengthen a play of light and shade, creating a 3D effect. First, I use a draft, and then cover the picture with a quick drying enamel that leaves me no chance to think over or make any changes. You set LEDs on your art. How did this idea occur to you?

These devices make the enamel glow in

In 2005 your clip became a Philips prize winner. What did this experience mean back then?

In this clip a little girl, admitted to the hospital, uses a lamp and sheets to create a play of light and shadow. Suddenly, as if by magic, a picture of a polar bear holding a scarlet heart comes out of the X-ray film box. The baby hugs the bear and falls asleep. Meanwhile, the bear’s reproduction appears on the wall and seems to protect her from maladies.

I used the language of magic to talk about serious diseases and their treatment. And then an idea to use X-rays crossed my mind. The famous film director Pupi Avati, who presented the award to me, called my clip poetry. This experience became a kind of enlightenment for me. What creators inspire you the most?

I draw inspiration from various sources

including literature, cinema and travel. Then I gather all impressions, give them time to embody into more definite forms and see what happens next. My teachers are De Kooning, Bacon, Ensor, Munch, Pollock, Kentridge, Hurst, Schifano and Rembrandt. I try to adopt their methods of analysis and remaking reality. You live in Bergamo. Is there still any place where you could create your works?

I’d love to visit Japan. I’ve learned a lot about this country and would like to see it with my own eyes. This is a completely different world, infinitely distant from ours. Here you feel a total harmony between the long history and high technologies. I would also like to live in Florida or California in order to enjoy the sunsets,

climate and the incredible sky. I would admire the way millions of its shades disappear into the ocean. It is a perfect place to start a creative activity. Silent nature and its mysterious, infinite power encourage excellent inspirations.

ROMAN HOLIDAY GUIDE TO THE ETERNAL CITY

It seems little has changed in the capital of Italy since the Roman Empire. It is still the center of the world and the cradle of Western culture. Every day thousands of tourists flock here in order to touch the history of this mysterious and magnificent city TEXT: Valerio VENTURI, PHOTO: Lior SUSANA

Rome is very difficult to write and tell about. This city is boundless, so you need to be here to understand and feel it. Italy’s capital is like a layer cake. Epochs have come and gone, leaving their indelible mark on the face of Rome. Many times famous directors were trying to catch the mood of the Eternal City. "Roman Holiday" with Audrey Hepburn, "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" with Vivien Leigh, "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini, and finally, "To Rome with Love" by Woody Allen – those are attempts to make a truthful and succinct portrait of the capital. But there is always something elusive behind the scenes. Each time Rome has shown us its different faces, thus no matter how many times you come back here there is still something to amaze you. Sometimes this chaotic, noisy and messy metropolis can put you out of temper. But, once you see another palace on your way, a church or an old square, all its faults slip away at once. The Vatican, the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Jewish Quarter – you can’t remain indifferent to the architecture of the Eternal City! "Each building breathes history here, observing bustle and hustle with majestic

serenity," said art historian John Winkelman. The Palatine Hill, one of the seven hills the city spans across, offers stunning views of the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus. Julius Caesar rising above the Imperial ruins on his pedestal seems to keep an eye on the city’s order. Another majestic monument is the Victorian Palace (Vittoriano) in Piazza Venezia. It was erected in honor of the united Italy's first king, Victor Emmanuel II. The main symbol of Catholicism is the Vatican and the Piazza San Pietro with its magnificent St. Peter's Basilica. Day by day this creation of the great architect Giovanni Bernini attracts thousands of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world. The first hope to glimpse the Pope even for a moment, while the others wish to go to the famous Vatican Museums and see all the splendor of Michelangelo's wall-paintings in the Sistine Chapel with their own eyes. Rome is a blend of baroque, renaissance, classicism, antiquity and the Middle Ages. It is melancholy and joy. It is Italy and the Vatican. Everything is mixed in the Eternal City, so one can hardly mark a dominant element as it is simply impossible.

Strolling along the Tiber river that runs through the city center you will find yourself in front of the Sant'Angelo Castel. At various times it has been a burial place of the emperors, a fortress, a treasury and a residence of the Popes. Nearby the Altar of Peace stands, constructed more than two thousand years ago. Being in this part of the city you definitely need to stop by the Villa Borghese, it is perhaps the most beautiful public garden in Rome. If you are keen on walking, then visit the church of Trinita dei Monti, standing on top of the famous Spanish Steps with its 138 steps. You will need a little bit more time to get to the Trevi Fountain, one of the main symbols of Rome. Prepare a coin to throw into the water. Then, according to legend, you will certainly be back here.

~ Pantheon

If you still have some time, go to the ancient Roman Pantheon. It was conceived as a divine temple, but in the VII century it was turned into a Christian basilica called Santa Maria della Rotonda. Thus it gave name to the square where the Pantheon stands, the Piazza della Rotonda. Only a few minutes away lies a rectangular square, the Campo dei Fiori, a place full of people and flowers (Campo dei Fiori in Italian means â&#x20AC;&#x153;flower fieldâ&#x20AC;?). The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli can be the last point of your route. Take a look on the floor as you enter, there a sundial and a meridian are embedded in the marble covering. As the sun goes down take a drive out to the sea that is only a few km away from the city. Lazing on the coast you will enjoy an Italian style vacation. Italy, as we know, begins in Rome.

ROMAN FORUM Along with the Colosseum the Roman Forum was also a focal point of ancient Rome. Housing temples, courts, markets, boardrooms and open spaces surrounded by arcades, this is where the business of Rome took place. It was the commercial and administrative center of the ancient city. The Forum was not only the center of the capital, but, in a sense, of the whole empire of the Caesars. Here huge crowds gathered for celebrations, or to attend the triumphant processions of leaders who marched with prisoners chained, boasting their conquest. It was the official stage of the ancient, warring Roma, and, with Augustus Caesar, it was transformed into a symbol of Rome. It has had moments of abandonment, watched the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, silently stood by throughout all the achievements, sorrows and passions of its people. The Roman Forum is a monument where the bricks tell tales of majesty and the unspeakable, yet remaining hushed as this new dawn of its precious city tests its wings, flying once more into the future.

LIFESTYLE T RAVEL COLOSSEUM In the heart of Rome lies the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater. This historic feat of architecture has become a symbol, of not only Rome but of Italy itself, and has joined the ranks of the New 7 Wonders of the world. The iconic stone and concrete elliptical amphitheater was the largest amphitheater of the Roman Empire, and is still considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. In its full glory it is estimated that it had the capacity to seat between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. These spectators came near and far for a variety of interesting, and often times gruesome, entertainment events, such as: gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, reenactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for the fantastical to bone chilling shows in the early medieval era, later doing an about face and was re-purposed for housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine. The conception and construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 70 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir, Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81â&#x20AC;&#x201C;96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheater was named in Latin for its association with their family name, Flavius. It has been added as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Today the Colosseum still lures visitors with its drama, history, and gravitas.

WHERE TO EAT? La Repubblica journalist Andrea Silenzi told us about his go-to places, where one can taste the real Roman cuisine. In fact, there are not so many tried-and-true restaurants in the

capital that offer traditional Roman cuisine. Probably Felice and Flavio al Velavevodetto are the right ones to choose. They offer the best price/ quality ratio. Both are located in the famous Testaccio district, which locals often consider a separate city. Try a thin Roman pizza at Baffetto on Via Governo Vecchio. La Pratolina on Via degli Scipioni boasts 37 types of so-called pinsa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sort of oblong and incredibly tasty pizza, which you will only find here.

I also recommend Roscioli on Via dei Chiavari that is close to the famous Campo de'Fiori. Here you can order a "pizza al taglio" (sold in slices) as we say in Italy. Right away from there on Largo dei Librari stands an excellent fish restaurant Filettaro, serving the traditional Roman dish - baccala fillet with roasted squash blossoms. Casina Valadier on the Pincio terrace would be perfect for an aperitif as it offers stunning views of the entire city of Rome! FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

HOLY PLACE

“The state within the state” lies in Rome, on the Monte Vaticano hill, and has its own flag, government, the Academy of Sciences, a newspaper and radio station.

Since then, this place has become actively populated and now it is one of the most sought after spots.

Passions run high on the island as Sicily is the quintessence of Italy. The easiest way to get here is by taking a f light with a transfer in Milan in order to realize the sharp contrast between the north and the south when landing in Palermo.

Every Sunday at 5:30am most of Sicily comes here to discuss the latest news until 11:00 while buying fresh fish, octopus and other seafood. Moving forward on your excursion, pop into the pleasant towns and villages discovering true gems along the way. For instance, visiting the medieval Erice, while standing on the hill you will get a breathtaking view of the opposite side of the Mediterranean coast as the land of Tunisia is revealed to you. The fabulous Taormina seems to be a different world due to its rocky coast line, sandy bays and sky blue sea waves lapping against the shore. Almost every evening in the summer the ancient amphitheater which is located here hosts spectacular concerts. You will feel the power of the music when you hear it live. The local palazzos were the favorite places for relaxation for Winston Churchill, while Goethe and David Lawrence praised Taormina in their eternal masterpieces. A fishing village in the neighborhood called Cefalu is Taormina’s rival. The snow white houses, literally standing on the waterline, and brightly colored fishing boats rocking on the waves became the symbols of both Cefalu and Sicily. You can come here for an hour or spend the entire holiday here, hanging around small streets and chatting with locals who total less than a thousand. The local cuisine is, of course, a special topic - we are still in Italy! You can try whatever you like, from “fast food” arancini (roasted rice balls with mozzarella and meat) to the richly flavored summer caponata (eggplants stewed with onion and tomatoes).

They like Portofino, which “was once a small fishing village and has only one road in and out, which incidentally is usually closed, allowing the area to remain unspoiled. Arguably one of the prettiest harbours out there, Marina di Portofino is where only the wealthiest can afford. It has only 14 berths maximizing the privacy and therefore the exclusivity of the marina. If you get a spot, expect to mingle with the likes of Steven Spielberg (owner of the yacht Seven Seas), Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and pop singer Rihanna.

By day the club is open to yacht members only, giving captains, owners and crew a space to relax and enjoy themselves. We have inside and outside seating areas facing the harbour, a bar stocked with the finest drinks and the fastest WiFi in Portofino. Non-members can visit as long as they are invited, and pay a small fee of course. By night the club is open to all, adding to the evening offer in the area and making Portofino ‘the destination’ to go to outside of Genoa itself.”

What is the story of Yacht Club Portofino? It is a project which began seven years ago generated by the meeting of two of the families of Portofino; the family Carluzzo, owner of the renowned restaurant “Delfino” and the equally important restaurant “Pitosforo”; and the family of Giovanni Copello, one of the ship’s agent at the local harbor. The Copello’s were also the owners of all of the image rights (social networks, internet, etc. ..) of the brand “Portofino Yacht Club”. During a normal working dinner at the “Pitosforo”, was

born the idea to transform the said restaurant into a clubhouse destined to become the Yacht Club.

What services do you offer at the Club? The Yacht Club Portofino is not only limited to providing the standard services to its members, as do all the yacht clubs in the world, but also an “open” part to the commanders of all the boats in transit in the port in order to support the needs, the “whims and vices” of a market without any rules and restrictions. The services of the Club House are for members ranging from the possibility of exclusive personal use (for support in case of meetings, business meetings, etc. ..) to the organization of events, soirees, and regattas. You can also use the car for the exclusive use of the Yacht Club and enjoy all the privileges worthy of a yacht club of this level.

How is it possible to become a member? You must be invited by the founders or buy the card at the Yacht Club Portofino. There are two types of cards: the first, the “black”, has a value of 900 euros; the second, the “platinum” cost 5000 euros instead.

MARSALA, AN ENGLISH LOVE The Sicilian sweet wine has a long history. Exploited by the British, used for decades in the preparation of pastries, it is now a great sipping wine for aperitifs and after-dinner drinks TEXT: Dario VENTURI, PHOTO: courtesy of press offices

arsala is undoubtedly one of the most famous Italian liqueur wines. Produced in Sicily, it began its legendary story in 1773. At that time the English merchant John Woodhouse landed at the port of Marsala and had the opportunity to taste the excellent local wine, which was aged in wooden barrels and took a taste similar to the “Porto”, which at this time was very famous in the United Kingdom. Woodhouse decided to load fifty barrels aboard his ship and added it with spirits of wine in order to increase the alcohol content and preserve its characteristics during the long sea voyage. That inexpensive Sicilian wine was a great success, so much so that

136

FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

Woodhouse decided to return to Sicily and began production and marketing. In 1833 the entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio from Palermo, began the production of Marsala wine in competition with the British companies and founded the Florio winery. He was so successful that one day Florio acquired the competitor, becoming the main producer. Then other local producers began to operate over a few decades and Marsala wine was established throughout the country. Now this wine, the first “doc” of the history of Italian wine, is especially prevalent in the the amber versione (there is also a ruby one), made from the grapes of Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia. Many qualities are available.

There is the Marsala Vergine, that is at least 5 years old, and the Marsala Vergine reserve, of 10 years of age. Then there are the most commercial variants of Marsala: “Fine”, “Superiore” and “Superiore Riserva”; these are 1, 2 or 4 years old respectively. The designation “Dry”, “Semi-dry”, and “Sweet” refers to the differing sugar contents of the bottles. How can you enjoy this interesting Sicilian masterpiece which tastes sweet yet isn’t cloying, with a rich aroma, and the flavor of almonds? Traditionally it is used for cooking, however, it is excellent as an aperitif or to accompany an array of desserts including the rich chocolate varieties. Try the “Riserva”!

FASHIONANDBEAUTY . IT

Burberry Prorsum made its fall/winter debut on the London runway with a new bag, the “Bloomsbury”. After last summer’s success of the “Petal Bag”, this is the new “It” bag of the brand. A rigid accessory, in a rounded shape and a single handle. It is presented in many different variations of colors and textures, from applications and tone-on-tone to abstract designs, and from hand-painted flowers to geometric patterns, making for a really unique and outstanding statement. It reflects, in the best way, the purely romantic and creative vision of the head designer Christopher Bailey.
