Tuscany
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: Fiacchini Boutique
The Fiacchini boutique in Forte dei Marmi that is a sea resort in Tuscany, is a great space that will for sure catch an eye of every fashionista. With it’s artistic interior full of rabbits, skulls and human anatomy decorations, this store sells hot labels like Celine, Equipment, Saint Laurent, Balmain, Fausto Puglisi and much more with many independent, less know Italian labels that the names I can’t recall. With champagne bottles all around, it feels here very modern and youthful, the clothes full of chic and trend and of course, the best, with individuality!
Tuscany: Forte dei Marmi
Forte dei Marmi is the most luxurious sea resort city in Tuscany. With it’s sandy beaches, warm water full of jellyfish and Prada/Dolce & Gabbana stores on every street, it’s like the Italian Florida, but much smaller and warmer! You shall find here lots of restaurants that are good, lots of artistic performances and craziest night clubs that can even be cooler than on Ibiza island… A night here in peace would be a nightmare, but a great shopping rush and sunbathe is totally alright in that place! And never speak of Portofino with the locals…
Tuscany: Fendi Magic
The Fendi boutique located in Florence is not only fool of beautiful furs and spiky shoes, but it is also a great design space. All the ceilings are original from times when the place was one of the rich palaces in center of the city. Greatly renovated, it is now decorated with a Milanese designer with massive, colourful chandelier. But it is not a crystal chandelier, but made of… Plastic! What do you think about it? I love this kind of interior mixes… It is superb!
