No introduction is needed to the black velvet dress; a timeless staple of the winter wardrobe that gets a makeover. The velvet dress can really have many souls, from office to ceremony. You just need to know how to choose and match it. The black velvet dress, with its versatile, wrap-around and truly feminine appeal, is the ultimate in elegance for a special occasion or end-of-year party. In the haute couture scene, there are many designers who have presented their idea of the velvet dress on the catwalk, redefining the concept of “classic” and shaping it to make it current and cool; there are many variations on the theme, and they do not only concern the fit or the length of the hemline, because the proposals can actually also take shape through the season’s trendy colors, which complement the timeless total black look. When you want to be flawless but are in a quandary about what dress to wear, there will always be a velvet dress to solve the situation in a jiffy: it should not be pulled out only for end-of-year parties, or for other special occasions: street style and fashionistas have already flaunted it, turning it into a garment to be used every day, and for every situation, especially for elegant dinners and evenings. My model of black silk velvet dress, long and with a slightly flared bottom; mysterious and charming, it has long sleeves, bias workmanship, with particular play of draping and refined details. Matching it is a handbag lined with silk fabric, containing, inside, a pretty coin purse.

Black crépe top – Bespoke
Top suitable for any occasion: asymmetrical cut, sleeveless and the game of crépe fabric, characterized by two straight, one satin, shiny and shaved, the other frizzy and opaque, which enhance the particularity of this model. The best piece of clothing with which to combine it, to enhance the silhouette and maintain a balance between the upper and lower body, is a pair of cigarette pants, in plain fabric or even in the capri model short at the ankles, or slightly flared leg, of the same color, to be shown off with high-heeled sandals.
Gray pantsuit
The Tailleur is the counterpart of the men's suit and, in the 1980s, symbolized the professional rampantism of career women. The first was made in 1885 by English tailor John Redfern for the Princess of Wales, taking up the styles of the so-called German hongreline. The suit made by Redfern was no-frills, paired with masculine accessories (such as a vest and tie), but was anything but comfortable. Despite this, it symbolizes one of the first steps toward women's emancipation. In the late 1920s Mademoiselle Coco, freed women from unnecessary constraints by making a soft jersey suit, feminine and practical, with a knee-length skirt. In the fashion world, the suit has found much success, especially in ready-to-wear fashion shows. In 1966 Yves Saint Laurent proposed a pantsuit and transformed it into the first women's tuxedo suit, making it eye-catching and extremely sensual. In the following decades to the present, the pantsuit has paraded on dozens of runways, continually reinventing itself in colors, fabrics and cuts, now rigorous, now provocative, worn like a second skin with nothing underneath, as Armani suggested in 1993. The pantsuit thus discovers its dual soul: on the one hand the confident, convention-defying, masculine and provocative at the same time; on the other hand the fairy-tale allure, romantic and elegant. My pantsuit is in Loro Piana's 130's wool fabric, over line and fit; jacket with inside pocket and handmade buttonholes. A timeless garment of women's fashion.
Wool suit – Bespoke
Sober and elegant, this pure new wool suit is part of a small capsule of mine which I wanted to call 'Noir et blanc”, a 'journey' from white to black, through the many shades of grey, to represent the prêt - à -porter realised and proposed for the invernale season.
The wool suit is inspired by the creativity of the great French and Italian craftsmanship tailoring of the 1950s, with a jacket tight on the hips and a pencil skirt.
Several are the combinations of matching shoes for an outfit always pleasant and personal.
High heels to slender the figure and give an immediate sense of elegance; sneakers, not an easy match, but a winning one if studied in the right way; high boots or cuissards are a great winter classic, and one of the easiest looks to replicate, for a more refined mood prefer total black; finally, amphibians for combat boots lovers.

Sequined tulle skirt – Bespoke
The pencil skirt is a classic of elegance and is absolutely among the skirts to have in your wardrobe. Glamorous and glamorous, it is the passe-partout for the party season and beyond.
Refined and with an ever-present charm, the pencil skirt was brought to success in the 1950s by Christian Dior who, in 1954, actually paraded very wearable pencils. In fact, already in the early 1900s, women wore very tight but, indeed, unfinished skirts. It was in the following decades that it established itself as a true symbol of femininity thanks to the appeal that its typical close-fitting silhouette is capable of exerting. In this case, we are talking about the sequin pencil skirt, a decidedly more unconventional variant of the minimal one we are usually used to.
My pencil skirt model is characterised by its length, just below the knee at the front and up to the calf at the back; it has a simple line that follows the body's shape, enhancing it but without constricting it. The sequined tulle fabric is decidedly dark and glittery, making it very elegant and sensual. Perfect to wear during the holidays or as a joker to enhance a more casual outfit, the sequin pencil skirt will be the star of your every look; it is made of sequined, lined, double-length tulle.

White cotton shirt – Bespoke
There are countless variations on the theme that have allowed the white shirt to become an essential garment, a passe-partout that goes with everything. In multiple outfits, we realise that the shirt is no longer one and only one, starched and impeccably tailored, it is constantly transformed: casual with a pair of jeans or a short, blinged-out skirt, minimal with a tube skirt and out of the box when worn as a cover-up. Gianfranco Ferrè claimed that 'more than one outfit can revolve around the simplicity of a white shirt'. There is also the propensity for androgyny, one of the most iconic looks with the white shirt, when combined with a man's tie; slung over the shoulders, in the manner of Marlene Dietrich, or knotted at the collar to tighten the collar, a habit exhibited in Madonna's youth.
My high quality pure cotton white shirt from Cotonificio Albini has a loose and comfortable fit, with high cuffs and mother-of-pearl buttons. Garment made and finished entirely by hand

Black crépe cady crop top
Those who were teenagers in the 1990s will certainly remember it: the crop top is that top, either long-sleeved or short-sleeved, that is shorter on the belly and leaves the belly button exposed. The crop top generally has a straight cut; only the fitted version is contoured, which shows off the belly. It is important to choose the right model for each body shape: the more fitted cuts are perfect for those with narrow waists and small breasts such as the pear-shaped woman or the woman who has a rectangle physique, to emphasize the waist more. Those with prosperous breasts or an apple physique should aim for a softer model that hides roundness. The perfect outfit to match the crop top is one that is composed of a high-waisted garment, whether it is a skirt or pants. My crop top is structured-cut in crépe cady fabric, strapless to enhance the décolleté; for a total black outfit, a tailored blazer or an elegant, strapless, structured-cut crop top is recommended, accompanied by pointed ballet flats or an elegant pumps
Linen and silk trouser suit with trousers, jacket and structured top – Bespoke
To dress power in order to express power: this was the categorical imperative followed, for entire generations, by women in order to begin to carve out positions of prominence and, therefore, it was important to find non-verbal communicative codes in order to emphasise this turning point.
The suit, which up to that point still consisted of a skirt and a tunic, is the one that most clearly expressed this transition.
In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent launched Le Smoking, an elegant trouser suit for evening wear. Versatile and elegant, but also youthful and seductive, it is one of the few garments that all women, at least once in their lives, wear. Whether with long, palazzo, cigarette or flared trousers; with a fitted, double-breasted jacket and shocking, garish or total black colours. Constantly evolving, never changing: the ladies' suit is and will remain synonymous with class and sophistication.
The women's trouser suit is an example of ultra-glamorous modern tailoring and the recent catwalks are re-proposing it, designed for hybrid lifestyles, with different combinations under jackets: from a shirt, to a waistcoat, to a structured top or even directly with a closed double-breasted blazer, worn without anything underneath.
Out of the chorus and for those who, while dressing classy, feel like daring, my tailored suit for every occasion is colourful, in bright linen and silk fabric. It has a lined double-breasted jacket with peaked lapels, combined with wide-flared trousers. To make it decidedly more feminine, a top in the same fabric.

Pink cut-out dress in embroidered silk georgette – Bespoke
In the 1990s the cut-out dress became a must. Lo rese famoso Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman con il suo look che tutti ricordiamo.
After a long period, the Spring-Summer 2023 fashion shows marked its return, a glamorous, sought-after, trendy, and glamorous trend.
It is certainly not surprising that one of the most feminine dresses was actually created by a woman. The protagonist of the catwalks for at least three seasons has been the Albanian-born, London-based designer Nensi Dojaka; it is only right, however, to mention that the record for invention, in modern times and precisely in the 1990s, belongs to Miuccia Prada.
The cut out dress is the ideal garment to show off at any time of year and for any elegant occasion; midi or short, sleeveless or long-sleeved, in floaty or structured fabric, there is a suitable model for everyone, enhancing the silhouette and the strengths of the physique with its ad hoc cuts.
My one-of-a-kind cut-out dress, with its distinctive slits framing the waist and bust, is made of embroidered silk georgette with grosgrain inserts and a back top closure with covered buttons. Packaging and all finishing were done by hand.
Long skirt and matching crop top in honey-coloured crépe cady – Bespoke
While skirts in general have always been a must-have, long skirts are that essential, life-saving garment that will allow you to tackle any commitment on your calendar with style and elegance.
In this year's crowded trend landscape, there is a new, fierce contender: the long skirt. It is ready to steal the show, backed by the endorsement of well-known personalities and an enviable versatility. Having said goodbye to the prohibitive mini, the extra-long declination of the model is a candidate to become a style passe-partout for every age, physique and taste. Between Nineties inspiration and contemporary minimalism, the long skirt becomes the star of the catwalks of the moment and is destined to last. Today's long skirt has some very specific characteristics; one of them being its length, which moves away from midi models and decisively covers the whole leg, even hiding the feet.
My long skirt, in crépe cady, with a matching crop top in the same colour and fabric, romantic and feminine, is perfect for elegant and sophisticated evenings. The soft, snug fabric allows it to be worn by women of all ages, tastes and body shapes. Its strong point is its versatility: elegant and sophisticated, worthy of grand occasions, combined with high-heeled shoes; more practical and casual when worn with simple trainers. Both sartorial garments are strictly handmade and finished

Accessories play an important role in enhancing the black dress and allow us to create unique looks. If in doubt, a black bag and shoes are the choice you can never go wrong with.
Black silk velvet pants
My black silk velvet pants are a must-have this winter season. The catwalks for fall and winter confirm that velvet is still among the trends of the season, and women's pants, in particular, are confirmed to be on trend if they have a fluid, slouchy cut or oversize. "Smooth velvet is a perfect reminder of elegance," declares designer Domitilla Mattei of Souldaze. Velvet pants are a classic with a unique charm and sophistication, but above all, they can dress up and turn a look around in no time, thanks to the special workmanship and the soft, luminous finish; they manage to give even the most alternative looks some depth - and an edge to basic outfits. This trouser is often associated with the Christmas holiday season, particularly when chosen in classic shades such as black, to create elegant outfits for events and elegant dinners, perfect for evening wear as well. In case someone wants to wear them for a party or a night at the disco, just pair them with jeweled tops, such as a sleeveless blouse made of beaded embroidered fabric and a stylish jacket, both cropped. The black silk velvet pant certainly does not represent an absolute innovation in women's closets. Yet, every year, they return revisited and revised; women's velvet pants are a candidate to become the go-to garment of everyday life, a true must-have item to conquer the entire cold season, and its soft texture gives that touch of comfort sought during the winter. Velvet pants are not just a garment, but a sensory experience.
