Sheath dress with glitter lace – Bespoke
Product Information
Product code: SSM-13542-SUIT Categories: Bespoke, Clothing, Tailor-made hancrafted, Women's dressesShort or just below the knee, minimal or with couture details. The sheath dress is the great fashion classic for every season. The elegant sheath dress is an absolute passepartout for formal day and evening occasions. His secret? Chosen in the right variant, it slims and slims.
Born of Coco Chanel’s extraordinary ingenuity in the 1920s, it experienced its heyday when Audrey Hepburn wore a fine Givenchy sheath dress in the famous film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, consecrating the sheath dress as synonymous with ‘noble simplicity and quiet grandeur’. The 1990s, on the other hand, ushered in the era of the sheath dress above the knee, fitted and sensual.
My sheath dress in glitter fabric is essential, refined and full of grace: no garment reflects these qualities more than the sheath dress. Grandiose in its simplicity, it encapsulates the purest essence of femininity, capable of bewitching, seducing and provoking.
Glitter is a transparent fabric worked with a needle, bobbin or crochet, by sewing, knotting and weaving threads of all kinds: gold, silver, linen, silk and cotton.
The latter exerts a subtle fascination for its transparency, for the harmony between fullness and emptiness, for its almost mythical evocative power, for being a symbol of elegance and grace.
Finally, a perfect idea for more elegant occasions is the cape, to be chosen coloured or with fringes for a cooler effect or very smooth for a more essential outfit.
As accessories, high-heeled pumps or very slender sandals and vertiginous pumps are a great classic, to be used strictly for romantic evenings or ultra-glamorous events.

Black wool trouser suit – bespoke
In the 1920s, French fashion designer Coco Chanel made her triumphant entrance onto the fashion scene. With a rebellious spirit and an eye for change, Chanel decided it was time to shake things up and did so with the Trouser Tailleur.
Chanel understood that women needed clothes that could cope with their increasing independence and participation in social activities. Giorgio Armani had also understood the revolutionary change. In the 1980s (a time of social change) he emphasised the importance of proposing clothing that was both elegant and functional and redefined the concept of the women's trouser suit, conveying a message of emancipation, class and sophistication.
The history of the pantsuit teaches us that fashion is a way of communicating, expressing ideas and changing the world. Innovation in trouser suits has embraced the idea of customisation, allowing women to tailor the garment to their own taste and lifestyle. Punctually, as in every season, the trouser suit will be the absolute star of the wardrobe. Matching jacket and trousers are a big trend of the last few seasons, and for those coming up, too, it is a trend that is bound to get noticed.
Autumn-Winter is all about wool, as is my Tailleur black pure wool tailored trouser suit and two-button jacket, refined and very elegant combined, in this case, with a pure silk shirt.
Garment entirely made and finished by hand.

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.
Red sheath dress with petals
The sheath dress is the perfect dress for special occasions. There are timeless dresses that make you feel elegant and flawless on any occasion. The sheath dress turns out to be the garment par excellence for enhancing the beauty and femininity of every woman. This dress is a true passe-partout that looks good on just about everyone and can be worn in any context. In all its forms, volumes, materials and colors, it has been the star of the collections of Dior, Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and Prada, but history teaches us that the sheath dress, whether renewed or similar to the original, always embodies perfection. Seductive, chic, delicate and perfect for minimizing small flaws, this garment becomes the ally for special situations, but not only, since its versatility allows you to venture with less sophisticated combinations, thanks to which you can dilute the classic style. Even today, the best fashion brands and internationally known designers still offer the sheath dress that fits, without any problem, any physique and in so many versions. In fact, the collections include long, short, particularly tight-fitting, more or less low-cut versions with original details. We must also add that the fit is comfortable, an aspect appreciated by women who always like to feel comfortable and move with complete freedom. This red, ankle-length sheath dress I offer in a sleeveless version; elegant and eye-catching in crépe cady fabric. Accompanied by a hairband hand-lined with the same fabric. Detail of petals applied on the neckline, removable. Essential for not going unnoticed.
Black Short Duchesse Skirt – Bespoke
From its invention in 1963 at the touch of Mary Quant to the present day, the miniskirt continues to make hearts beat regardless of style, age or physicality. Versatile, feminine and revolutionary, it has conquered the recent catwalks, undermining overly short designs by returning to its classic silhouette.
Among the trends of the moment, the short skirt can be worn at all ages. In recent collections, the miniskirt is rediscovering sexy with taste, thanks to strategic combinations and cuts. Slightly longer than in the past, it becomes a versatile piece, making it suitable even for those without gazelle legs.
For those in their 50s or 60s who do not want to give up the miniskirt, the secret is to go for total black. Black has always been a safe harbour: the colour that instils more confidence, allowing you to dare to look a little more.
My miniskirt, made of fine silk duchesse in black, features a side closure with invisible zip and belt loops. It is combined with an elegant and versatile straight line silk jersey shirt; with visible buttoning. The garments were entirely made and finished by hand.
Structured bustier top in crépe
My structured crépe bustier top is lined, with a zipper closure. Refined, exclusive and very comfortable, with invisible zipper back opening. Sleeveless and strapless bustier, straight line that accompanies the bust silhouette, hip length; it is perfect for elegant and sophisticated evenings. Its strength is its versatility: elegant and sophisticated, worthy of grand occasions; more practical and casual when worn with pants or pencil skirt of the same color. The corset (now bustier top) is a garment that has a long history behind it. Originally worn in the 16th century, the corset was used to shape the female figure, creating an hourglass silhouette. Over the centuries, the corset has become a symbol of femininity and seduction, but it has also been opposed for its effects on women's health. However, in recent years, the corset is experiencing something of a resurgence, becoming a fashion item again. Celebrities and influencers around the world have begun wearing bustiers as crop tops or as overlays on other garments. This new way of wearing the corset made the garment more accessible and less restrictive.
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.
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 velvet dress
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.
Short trapeze dress with sequins – Bespoke
Straight from the 1960s to the present day, the trapeze dress is back in fashion; it is a simple garment, reduced to the essentials, which allows the figure to be slender thanks to the shorter hemline and the waistline that is not marked, leaving the curves of the body undefined. That is why it is the dress that suits everyone.
Once again it was Yves Saint Laurent who revolutionised fashion; in 1958, he created the Trapeze line. The success was immediate: women were looking for lightness and simplicity, after the metres of fabric protagonists of the 1950s. The collection was received with a standing ovation, literally changing the trends of the time and making a profound mark on the 1960s.
What is new is that for designers, the trapeze dress of sequins and the like can also be worn in daylight.
A fashion trend already announced by the New York shows, sequins will also dominate fashion in the coming seasons.
My trapeze dress is made of a wool blend with sequins and lined with silk taffeta fabric, entirely made and finished by hand.
