It’s not the first time when New York designer Prabal Gurung collaborates with Casadei for his runway shoes. But I must admit, the AW13 creations that we saw on the feet of the models in March were simply amazing. The collecton was all about Amazon women in Winter surroundings, that are strong and beautiful at the same time. With the beauty connected to harness, the collection was called to be one of the best in NYC! The shoe collection with Casadei was kept in khaki, black and gold colours, with buckles all around and characteristic, abit curvy, Casadei heel. As you see, the legs looks really sexy in these Must-ies, so start saving on them!
Black
Milan: DAAD
DAAD in Milan is a conceptual store full of dark aesthetic clothes, Comme des Garcons perfumes and a la Rick Owens coats. Indeed, the clothes and less known labels in this store are styled very much on Rick Owens and Maison Martin Margiela from the past. Nothing here is like it seems- a coat can be a shirt and trousers a skirt! The interior reminds me a bit of -PN/P in Florence, that was also dark and very artistic! I love this place! And there was this one coat with fur that I am eternally in love from now on…
Tuscany: Carrara
Carrara is the city of marble in Tuscany, where biggest amounts of marble are found and used from the local mountains. It sounds kind of normally, but in reality and landscape around looks destroyed and devastated- the mountains are simply peeled off! For sure there is no ecology in that… But the city looks fantastic. It is very old, but you shall find modern marble sculptures everywhere, that looks cool. And there is also this church made all out of marble… It all makes me think of Balenciaga by Alexander Wang AW13 collection inspired with marble form!
Tuscany: -PN\P
Piedi Nudi Nel Parco, in shorter version known as -PN\P, these two dark places in Florence are the coolest conceptual fashion stores in the city! First you need to know, that here you won’t find Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana. For this you can go to shitty Luisa Via Roma, that is really poor. The -PN\P store is for individuals, that simply love dark, luxury clothes. Here you will find Alaia and labels that reassemble Rick Owens. In both boutiques, women’s and men’s, the interior is very artistic! In the first one you walk on a glass floor through which you see ancient catacombs, and on the second one it’s all about modern fabrics and metallic details… If you are into this style and going to visit Florence soon, this place is right for you!
Munich: POOL
Munich is a great place for visiting, not only because of the great museums and monuments, but also for superb shopping! Today I will show you my three favourite places up here! And, if you want to see what is in stores, just see the labels on my Pages footside!
POOL Munich is the biggest hotspot for fashionistas… But, sorry to say, but it’s not as good as in past. Now they invest cheaper luxury labels like, everything is very teen and just “hot right now”. But, still I like it! Nowhere else I would buy a Marcelo Burlon new collection T-shirt! The interior is cool, artistic and minimalistic. So, it’s a good place for shopping, if you want to catch up with today’s trend, and on the next day… Forget it.
