EDITOR'S LETTER 188

assword: Lightheartedly. This is a strange moment in the world, a moment that is psychologically destabilizing us and making everyone nervous. The Ukrainian situation that generates a highly worrying escalation, the shadow of Covid with the return of winter, the political extremisms that are recovering. All this situation makes it difficult to talk about fashion and "futile" topics. Then I think back to the birth of this magazine. The heaviness, the problems, the difficulties of life are always many. There is not a time when we live carefree without worries. So why not have some relief valves? Why not immerse yourself in art and fun when possible? Why not learn, even when it doesn't seem possible, to shake off some of the bricks we carry with us? We don't have to take the seriousness of life that we can't change so seriously. This does not, of course, mean denying them or turning the head the other way. But we must learn to smile when we can, and sometimes it's therapeutic to smile even when we can't. Editor-in-chief Facebook: @marta.forgione Instagram: @martaforgione

Our young cover girl is a catcher of dreams. She has everything she needs for her purpose: rubber boots, a fishnet dress, a fishing rod and so many hopes strung on the hook. She does not accept rejection, she does not lose sight of the goal. But most of all she doesn't stop smiling and thinking positively. She looks at the sky, follows the clouds, lets herself be warmed by the sun. Her future is uncertain, but she doesn't know the fear.

Jami

ALIX


LATEST interview Photography Ben Cope

Never abandon your inner child, he must be protected at any cost. This is the mood of life, it can be said, of Jami Alix. And who can say that she is absolutely not right? Apparently acting is an outlet through which she can feel more lighthearted, and for this reason it has become her greatest ambition. What to say? She is doing it! In fact, we will see her alongside Lana Condor in the highly anticipated Netflix series "Boo, B ****" which will debut on July 8th. So far, Jami has kept her light-heartedness through her fashion and lifestyle blog by moving, over time, more towards vlogs and social media. But if you believe that all this rhymes with childishness or superficiality, we immediately stop you. For Jami it is of great importance to use her voice to show others that they can be beautiful despite their inner insecurities. We talked to her for a while and we are delighted to share more knowledge about this amazing girl with you.

Total Look Miu Miu

How was your passion for acting born? I grew up with two very creative parents and lots of emotions. My sincere answer is that acting connects me to my younger self. When I started taking it really seriously, it became an outlet for me to feel like a kid again. I could play and be weird and celebrate all the wonderful unsexy parts of myself if that makes sense. I just know that whenever I feel like a kid again, I’m doing something right. You now play your first major role, in the highly anticipated Netflix series "Boo, B ****" which debuts on July 8, alongside Lana Condor. How are you having this electrifying experience? I feel the most grateful for the experience of filming. I met some lifelong friends throughout the process, and my younger self is still jumping up and down seeing my face on Netflix. How did you start your career as a blogger? Did you plan the activity or did you arrive there by chance? When I was in college, I saw girls posting aesthetic outfits on Instagram, and since I’ve always been interested in fashion and photography, I wanted to try doing the same kind of thing. I definitely planned to blog, bought the website and domain, and invested in a nice camera to pursue it fully! What are the downsides of blogging - if any? It can be said that you are an "old school" blogger, which means that you have a real blog. What is the advantage of a blog that social media does not have?

to be more interested in short form video content right now. I do think a traditional blog can foster a more intimate community, but I enjoy social media content a lot more. Fashion and lifestyle seem to be your number one interests but also travel, beauty or home products. What is the best part of this job in your opinion? Definitely the overall freedom of creative expression and the opportunity to evolve as a person and take your audience on that journey with you. Also, free product doesn’t hurt :) How do you relate to your followers, how is your relationship and how do you manage to improve it? My favorite thing is relating to my followers whenever I’m talking about something personal, like body dysmorphia, anxiety or just general thoughts on social media. I think consistency is most important in order to improve that relationship. Where do you see yourself in the future, mostly in acting? And how do you see the future of the new generation of bloggers? What advice would you give to those who want to embark on this adventure? Acting is my main passion. I still plan on having a strong social media presence even as an actress, but I’m hoping to transition more into lifestyle than just fashion + beauty blogging. My main advice is to be consistent and authentic across the board! And in your free time?

I actually am in the process of redesigning my website so that it’s more of a landing page for all my materials instead of a traditional blog. I feel like it’s important to evolve with the trends, and people seem

Writing. I have a few projects in development, and I’m also starting a podcast soon!


last days

of summer There is something extremely melancholy about the summer that ends. But instead of celebrating the melancholy, we try to travel home with all the positivity of the holidays. The thoughts then return to pink, warmth, a pair of pin up sunglasses and a garden with fresh grass underfoot. Although, the beginning of autumn corresponds to many beautiful things. The return of boots and leather jackets, the fashion weeks, the projects for the new working year that take hold. And, why not, we could bring some pink with us.

sunny days Photography Matt Butler at Bean Studios London Art Direction Phoebe Whiston at Bean Studios London Style Amy Simmons Model Hanna c/o Milk Management London Hair Style, Makeup Katie Downer using Kevin Murphy & Glossier

'Hanna' was photographed on medium format film on a summer evening in central London. The setting, a crowded area of the city during the last hours of golden light of the day, was the perfect location for the predominantly London designers who were used. The story is a mixture of studio and location, inside and out, to represent the contrasting and complex aspects of our inner worlds. Different styles, different colors and different textures helped to create multifaceted looks, sometimes strong and elegant, sometimes feminine, but always a varied aspect of a whole. We can be many things at once and still have the space to grow, in whatever direction we choose.

must have

The time has come to take stock of the trends for the upcoming season. In autumn and winter people seek enveloping warmth and protection, but without sacrificing sensuality, comfort and appearance. Everyone lives this time of year as they prefer, but we cannot overlook the garments and accessories that, straight from the catwalks, will mark these months. Catsuits that immediately bring to mind Catwoman, layered looks, colours, sequins, corsets and basic garments are just some of the season's must-haves. Valentino brings a bright fuchsia that invades every look and dominates the catwalk, Versace focuses on corsets revisited also in dresses, Prada and Bottega Veneta remain on the trail of minimalism with the white tank top, Gucci and Louis Vuitton take knee-high boots from the 70s and propose a contemporary version. These trends tell us one thing: we are all caught between the quest for comfort and the desire for sensuality and fun. Nowadays, however, trends are not only dictated by the catwalks, but also by social media, especially Tik Tok. What is original immediately goes viral and is replicated by everyone. Real styles are created and become popular through the creation of video outfits. The fit check, for example, which consists of simply showing one's look before going out, has established itself as a viral phenomenon. The platform also advocates sustainable fashion, with advice on how to recycle old clothes, by restoring them, giving them away or selling them. From this point of view, the commitment of some tik tokers is really significant, because instead of increasing the purchase of new clothes, it makes people realise the importance of those they already own. The season's trends have been uncovered, now you just have to let go and enjoy. Trends: fall winter 2022 / '23 words Melissa Stocchi


TANK TOP 4.

Comfort is an increasingly sought-after condition and what better garment than a tank top to feel comfortable and at ease? A versatile garment, capable of making a look casual or elegant depending on how and with what it is worn. From Prada to Bottega Veneta, the tank top can be worn with a longuette or simple jeans for a cool but comfortable look. Toteme's tank top is paired with wide leg jeans by Isabel Marant, topped with a leather trench coat by Chloè with ruffles on the shoulders. As accessories leather loafers by Ganni, tote bag by Khaite and to complete the look earrings and bracelets by Johanna Ortiz.

4EVER CARGO 4. 1. Jeans are always on trend, but there are many different models. For this season, cargo is a must-have model as seen on the Isabel Marant catwalk, and not only in denim, but also in other fabrics. Straight from streetwear for a comfortable look that doesn't give up on being trendy. We chose the denim cargo by The Frankie Shop to match with the turtleneck jumper by Chloé, the blazer by Stella McCartney, the colourful trainers by Sean Whoterspoon x Hot Weels, the glasses by Marni and the bag by Bottega Veneta.

SHORT DOWN JACKET Outerwear is the must-have for the autumn-winter season. The down jacket is the most popular, and this year if it is cropped it is even cooler. Warm and soft, it is the most comfortable outerwear. Brought on the catwalk by Genny, Jacquemus and Vaquera among others, in neutral or brighter shades, it can be worn with any look. Moncler's down jacket, for example, is perfect to wear with Chloé's wide leg trousers, Mara Hoffman's bodysuit, rubber boots and Hourglass bag by Balenciaga.

MINI MINI 1. The miniskirt is now back, thanks mainly to the contribution of Blumarine and Miu Miu. Even for this season, considering the return of 2000s fashion, it remains a dominant trend. There are those who propose it in leather or denim, paired with bodies and micro tops, as in the case of Balmain, and those who instead with cropped shirts or blazers as in the case of Coperni. We chose the zipped miniskirt by LaQuan Smith to match with Brandon Maxwell's bodysuit and Gianvito Rossi's suede knee-high boots, to which we added Chloé's bag and Loewe's maxi glasses for a cool look.

SHINING + FAUX FURS 1. We have seen how fuchsia is one of the most influential trends this autumn winter, just look at the Valentino fashion show. The trendiest outerwear for the season, with exaggerated volumes and perfect to match with this intense colour is faux fur, and if you really don't want to go unnoticed, just add sequins and glitter. For an evening look, we thought of the faux fur by Des Phemmes, which we can match with a sequined midi dress by Erdem, leather sandals by Khaite and to shine a crystal fringed bag by Kara and crystal-set earrings by Balenciaga.

PUNK DOMINATRIX

1.

2.

Bold and daring, the punk style is back on trend this autumn-winter season 2022-2023. For those who want to dare with tight-fitting garments, leather, slits, boots and chains, this is the right style. There are many brands that have brought it to the catwalk, some as a sign of rebellion and others as a main feature. We chose a look combining a floral one-piece jumpsuit by Dolce and Gabbana with a puff-sleeved top by Del Core and a latex trench coat by Alaïa, then added a knee-high leather boot by Lusingato and Le Cagole bag by Balenciaga

ALL ROUND KNITWEAR 1. Knitwear continues to feature strongly on all the catwalks, not remaining relegated only to dresses but extending to every garment and accessory, for a total look that is cooler than ever, as in the case of the Chloé and Etro fashion shows. The perfect trend for this cold season, where tradition and craftsmanship become core values to focus on. The look to try is the maxi dress by Etro paired with knitted sock shoes by Proenza Schouler, long gloves by Simone Rocha, cap by Moncler and bag by Lastframe.

THE HOOD 1. No longer the simple hat, but the balaclava. A super trendy headgear, which has established itself in recent years and increasingly so this season in the Max Mara and Proenza Schouler catwalks for example. The volumes are increasingly exaggerated and leave little room for minimalism in these cold months. Simone Rocha's wool balaclava, embellished with pearls, is the perfect accessory to complete a look composed of a midi dress by Staud and faux fur and over-the-knee boots by Stella McCartney.

TRANSPARENCIES 1. Even if the cold weather arrives, one does not renounce sensuality. We have seen how transparencies are becoming more and more common on the catwalk, and also for this season tulle and organza dresses slip over the body leaving parts of it visible, as in the case of Alberta Ferretti and Dolce & Gabbana. For a more unusual look, we chose to match a mesh maxi dress by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, with Anna Quan's mini dress underneath and Nili Lotan's cashmere jumper around the waist. To complete, boots by Gia Borghini and a feathered wrist bag by Cult Gaia.

SCHOOL GIRL 1. The collegiate style always has its reason. It comes from American colleges and is all the rage all over the world, combining miniskirts with blazers, jumpers and blouses. Just add ties and bows to make it more elegant or playful, depending on the occasion for which you choose it. Everyone gives this style their own interpretation and we want to give ours: tweed skirt by Oscar de la Renta, jumper by Jil Sander, denim caban by Zimmermann with white sneakers by The Row and tweed bag by Chanel.

CORSET, WHAT A PASSION

2. One of this season's most desired garments is the corset. Synonymous with sensuality, it exists in many types, both in terms of material and colour and represents a reinterpretation of the primordial corset, with not a few differences, starting with the greater comfort of the contemporary bustier. A reinterpretation is, for example, the corset by Carolina Herrera, to be matched with a floral skirt by Dolce and Gabbana with a wool coat by Zimmermann and to complete with long gloves by Jil Sander and mary jane platform and bag by Bottega Veneta.

There are many sides to a human being; that one consistent self does not exist. Sometimes you are daring, energetic and spontaneous and other times you are introverted, calm and contemplative. This editorial is about two women, who express this eclecticism through their divergent looks, outfits and poses as well as their contrasting appearance indoors and outdoors. At times they seem stern, almost unapproachable, but then a more playful and colored outfit renders them softer and more vulnerable. Yet, regardless of the outfit, in every picture one recognizes both the strength and deep sensuality of each woman, which is carried by a rather melancholic mood throughout the entire story. We aimed to address this central element of every human being – no matter the appearance on the surface, what is truly within is always displayed through a person’s charisma. The relationship between these two women is undefined. Are they friends, lovers, companions? This interpretation will depend on the viewer’s own facets and intentions.

Van Gogh Palazzo Bonaparte, Rome in collaboration with Kröller Müller Museum, Otterlo - 08/10, 26/03/2023 Van Gogh’s life was a seesaw that swiftly passed from one peak of violence to another of strange stillness, never fully enjoyed for fear of a return of the malaise that devoured his mind. Palazzo Bonaparte is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to telling the story of this extraordinary artist, on the eve of the 170th anniversary of his birth. The leitmotif of his masterpieces is nature, through which he sought to fulfil his desire for infinity. Visitors are accompanied through the artist’s life not only thanks to the works, but also thanks to references to the places most significant to the painter.

Picasso/Chanel Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid - 11/10, 15/01/2023 Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel, two figures who have left their mark on the history of art and fashion. The relationship between the two was consolidated with their collaboration on Serguéi Diághilev’s Russian ballet ‘Le Train Bleu’ in 1924. The exhibition explores their relationship through four sections that show the years from 1915 to 1925 in chronological order. In each section, mutual influences emerge: Chanel created dresses with geometric motifs influenced by Cubist poetics, Picasso was responsible for the sets and masks.

Frida Kahlo, au-delà des apparences Palais Galliera, Paris in collaboration with the Frida Kahlo Museum, Mexico City - 15/09, 05/03/2023 Getting to know Frida Kahlo is not so simple. She was a complex, rebellious and profound artist who made her life a true work of art. The Palais Galliera pays tribute to her with an exhibition in which it is possible to go through the different stages of her life thanks to the display of more than two hundred objects from the house where she was born and grew up, the Casa Azul. She chooses to self-represent herself because it is the subject she knows best and can represent most accurately. Art for her becomes a representation of life, with its hardships, as in the case of the accidents that left her disabled, but also with its happy moments, such as those spent with the love of her life, Diego Rivera.

William Kentridge is a well-rounded artist who ranges from printmaking to animated films to music and theatre. Described by the Royal Academy of Arts as “South Africa’s most celebrated living artist”, this autumn he brings to the exhibition previously unseen pieces alternating with his most exciting works from a 40-year career. All of his work is influenced by the context in which he was born and raised, the apartheid regime, in fact the themes of his work include social injustice and racism. p.97

The black color: undeniably one of the timeless trends of all time. It's been in fashion forever and it's amazing how flexible it is, swinging from season to season. Furthermore, this story shows that changing many outfits in total black does not have to be boring, but rather it can be very chic. The location that frames this editorial is the famous Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw ​ p.103

Beauty Products for this fall/winter? The answer is:

Skinimalism snd Contrast

p.122

On the one hand simplicity, on the other abundance: this is how the trends for this fall/winter can be summarised. If on one side there are those who believe that the time has come to strip away everything superfluous in favour of a more minimalist beauty look, as in the case of skinimalism; on the other side, there are those who don’t want to give up appearing with hypercoloured make-up, glitter and rhinestones of all kinds. The beauty sector has undergone great changes in recent years, driven by the increasing focus on sustainability in all areas and the advent of TV series such as Euphoria, which have created a real make-up trend. So, we have a considerable reduction in the consumption of beauty products, in the wake of ‘less is more’, also to celebrate our skin without too many artificial layers, as opposed to rhinestones and bright colours perfect for those who want to be daring. Based on these contrasts that we have analysed, here you will find a selection of products and brands, skincare and make-up, to accompany you this season. What they have in common is their concern for the environment and the skin.

Athar’a Pure: Moroccan Coffee Eye Cream The eyes are the most sensitive area of our face and taking care of them is important, especially in winter when low temperatures tend to dry out the eye area. To combat dark circles, wrinkles and puffiness while nourishing and reawakening that area, Athar’a Pure’s Moroccan coffee eye cream comes to our aid. 100% natural, organic, cruelty free and vegan, it is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. The philosophy behind each of the brand’s products is summed up in this sentence: ‘Athar’a Pure is the culmination of rich family traditions, powerful science and above all, love”.

Pai: Lotus & Hyaluronic Acid Barrier Defence Mist Designed for stressed and sensitive skin, Pai’s soothing toner with lotus and hyaluronic acid has a spray formula that moisturises the face like a light mist, combating dryness and giving the skin a fresher appearance at all times. You can use it after cleansing and then proceed with the other steps or during the day, even over make-up. The brand’s focus is on the care of sensitive skin and was born out of the founder’s need to be close to those with special skin conditions after her struggle with chronic urticaria.

MERIT: Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm By now we know that facial radiance is one of the main goals of any make-up and skincare routine. Merit’s illuminating stick gives an instant glow and a healthy complexion to the areas where it is applied. The balsamic formula with fine pearls is so light that it leaves just a thin layer of illumination without weighing it down. “Creating products that are safe for the body, the skin and the planet,” is the brand’s goal. Available in three colours and in recyclable packaging.

The American brand also offers solutions for body and hair, to take full care of your person.

ILIA: Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm A great classic, the product that never dies: red lipstick. This lip tint by Ilia was recognised as ‘Best Lip Balm’ at the Glamour Beauty Awards in 2022. First launched by the brand eleven years ago at the behest of founder Sasha who, after working in the fashion and beauty industry for a long time, wanted to recreate a balm that was safe for the skin. This season it is essential to moisturise the lips, and even better if it can be done with a touch of red, which is back on top of the trends. Available in eight shades. ​

It now seems superfluous to talk about how much eating the right amounts of fruit and vegetables is good for the skin. It can be said that we all know. Yet, few really care about this matter in everyday life. But then they scramble to find the miraculous cream for their dull complexion face. Instead, keep in mind the primary factors of radiant skin: get enough sleep, drink enough and eat lots of vegetables. You will see that then the rest will be just a plus to achieve perfection.

BETWEEN SCULPTURAL FORMS AND reinterpretation OF THE PAST words Melissa Stocchi

F/W 2023 accessories Boldness, sculptural shapes and revisiting the past: these are the main characteristics of the perfect accessories for the fall/winter 2022-23 season. Particular shapes can be found in bags, shoes but also in jewellery. Overlaps that make everything more fun. On the catwalks we saw a lot of black but also an explosion of colours, almost unusual, perhaps symbolic of a rediscovered normality. Various shades of pink, red and blue dominated the catwalks alongside classic neutral colours. Accessories are increasingly important and more widely used, able to create a look or transform an existing one. Colourful, large, small and in any shape, they catch anyone’s eye and allow you to fully express your personality. If you are ready to get involved with this season's must-haves, here you will find a roundup of accessories of various kinds, suitable for every occasion and ready to make you shine.

LATEST aCCESSORIes To every occasion its shoe. Shoes are the object of desire par excellence, just think of films and TV series such as Sex and The City, in which Carrie Bradshaw cultivates her unbridled passion for luxury handbags and shoes. This does not only happen in a fictional world, but also in everyday reality, because shoes, besides being indispensable, help to convey the way one feels or more simply the way one wants to show oneself. If you want to dare with vertiginous heels and lots of plateau, Versace is the right choice. These Mary Jane-inspired shoes have also depopulated many other catwalks, including those of Valentino and Bottega Veneta with variations in colour and texture for an always original reinterpretation. Boots remain the must-have of the season: below or above the knee, this accessory takes different forms and is also enriched with sculptured heels as in the case of Givenchy. Texans, biker boots and rubber boots are just some of the models on offer, guaranteeing a wide choice for anyone who loves this footwear. For those who prefer comfort with lower shoes, Miu Miu re-proposes the much loved and hated ballerinas, in satin with bows and elastic, to be worn with wool socks, while Louis Vuitton gives new life to the moccasin by introducing the open toe detail. Loafers and Mary Jane's are the right proposal to complete looks with a preppy style, strong this season and inspired by collegiate clothing, consisting of blazers, skirts, jumpers and blouses.

Between big comebacks and geometric shapes, this fall/winter season’s bags explore every possible world. On the catwalks, we have seen from the smallest and most elegant to the largest and most comfortable for everyday use, to be chosen depending on the context and the look being worn. The watchword for this season is just one: experiment. Combine different worlds and moods to play with this indispensable yet aesthetically pleasing accessory. Extra-large sizes for the bags worn on the catwalk by Bottega Veneta, as opposed to mini ones with special shapes to hold by hand or put over the shoulder, as in the case of Chanel. Among the great returns, we cannot fail to mention Louis Vuitton’s bowling bag, in new variants always inspired by the iconic model of the maison. But that’s not all, the hobo bag is also back straight from the 90s with great modernisation ideas from many maisons including Miu Miu, Fendi and Gucci, who offer a reinterpretation starting with the iconic Jackie 1961, dear to the brand and its tradition.

LATEST aCCESSORIes To be worn on classic shirts or on variants, ties made their entrance on the women’s fall/winter 2022 - '23 catwalks with Ralph Lauren, Gucci but also Louis Vuitton. A strong, genderless accessory that immediately gives every look a touch of originality. The accessory, which originated for a purely male wardrobe, has appeared in women's wardrobes many times already, starting in the early 20th century, when it was chosen by style icons such as the actress Marlene Dietrich. Jewellery is increasingly becoming the protagonist, with pearls and precious stones lighting up the catwalks, as in the case of Elie Saab’s fringe earrings. Moreover, fringes remain a dominant trend in dresses as well. Staying on the jewellery theme, a trend this season is overlays, whether of necklaces as in the case of Chanel, or of bracelets and rings as in the case of Saint Laurent, here the principle to follow is that of style icon Iris Apfel “more is more and less is a bore”. On the contrary, there are those who prefer more minimal and delicate jewellery, so as not to distract attention from the clothes and to offer a cleaner image. Hair clips have been making a comeback for some time now, but they are constantly present on the catwalk. From Chanel to Fendi, for different but always stylish occasions. Colourful hairpins with special shapes for fun hairstyles or gold and silver hairpins, perhaps with rhinestones, for more chic and refined hairstyles. On the hair also scarves, bows and headbands.

L'attente What is waiting? "Waiting" is defined as the period of time that elapses between the announcement of an event and its occurrence. But it also refers to the state of mind of those who wait, at that precise moment within which all the hopes and expectations that a human being can have are contained. Knowing how to wait on the one hand is a real art, on the other hand it can turn into an exhausting situation. A distinction must therefore be made between waiting as a pleasure and waiting as a situation of malaise.

When comfort meets style. Scandinavian style opens the eyes for the fashion industry. The colors that guide fashion today are a new way to express your style. The contrast between people's colors is a way to show that we can be and look as we want. We are entering a "blue world" this season. We can take control of the way we want to be. The colors and the story behind it are based on the new way of exhibiting the fashion industry: welcome to the new era.

MY OWN PARTY Are you ready to celebrate your successes? If you are from the party of those who think that "whoever praises himself becomes imbued" I imagine it will be difficult for you to do so. If it's too hard for you you probably don't have a blueprint for how to compliment yourself. Try to think ... when you were a child what kind of recognition did you receive? Which compliments were they giving you? How did they criticize you? Are there any of these models that you continue to replicate? Someone you have been able to change successfully? Well, if you are a self-critic, I propose that you take a break and - instead of thinking about the best you can do - simply look at what you have already done with satisfaction. Sometimes it's good for your health!

Trentino Alto Adige


LATEST PARADISE words Melissa Stocchi

Imagine wanting to get away from the heat of this summer and the confusion of the city, looking for fresh air, streams and even good food. To find this atmosphere you can't not choose Trentino Alto Adige. Surrounded by meadows, lakes and mountains, here you will be in the perfect place for a holiday alone or in company. This land will give you the feeling of finding yourself in a parallel reality, where the bustle and the heat give way to peace and silence. In the choice of structure in which to spend a few relaxing days, especially in recent years, the question sustainability plays a key role. If in addition to sustainability you are looking for luxury solutions, you are in the right place. Here you will discover a selection of sustainable luxury resort hotels where you can recharge your batteries at any time.

VIGILIUS MOUNTAIN RESORT – Lana (BZ) 'Eco, not ego', is the motto of the architect of the Vigilius Mountain Resort, Matteo Thun. Situated at 1500 metres, it won the WWF's 'Amici del clima' award in 2005. The uniqueness of this structure lies in the architectural style that seems to merge with the surrounding nature and the use of only renewable resources. Sustainability concerns every area, from the arrival only possible via a cable car in seven minutes, to the kitchen where mainly local products are used, possibly from organic farming. The services on offer are diverse: a fitness programme, spa and treatment, gourmet cuisine and the possibility of organising meetings and parties.

THEINER’S GARTEN BIO VITALHOTEL – Gargazzano (BZ) “Theiner’s garten was born out of a desire to create a hotel that reflected our family’s philosophy of living with environmental, natural and organic sustainability.” With these words, the Theiner family describes this luxury refuge in the environs of Merano. A special feature of the hotel are the four gardens inspired by nature, with which the hotel has a strong connection: the garden of dreams, the garden of taste, the garden of the senses and the garden of energy. These four areas are respectively dedicated to the rooms and suites, the kitchen, with the vegan restaurant based on 100% natural and biodynamic products, the spa and treatments, and the excursions and all the sports activities the hotel offers. p.229

OLYMPIC SPA HOTEL – Vigo di Fassa (TN) Located in the Val di Fassa, in the heart of the Dolomites, the Olympic Spa Hotel was founded in 1963 as a small establishment that has developed over time to become a large sustainable luxury hotel. What strikes one is the welcome of the family wearing traditional clothes, speaking the local Ladin language. In this way, guests are catapulted not only into a relaxing experience, but also into a true tradition. Here, sustainability also applies to the 0 km cosmetics in the spa, with principles from hay, milk from their cows and flowers.

ALPENPALACE HOTEL – Valle Aurina (BZ) Moving into the Ahrntal Valley we find the Alpenpalace Hotel, surrounded by the picturesque landscapes of the valley. Keyword: recovery. Here, the focus on sustainability concerns every aspect, even the minibars in the individual rooms are only switched on when the room is actually occupied. The experience offered in this luxury hotel involves the guests in every way, who are followed step by step in every activity they choose to do: from the spa to organised excursions to discover the beauty of the environment in which they are immersed.
