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.

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

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

Long dress in fluid viscose jersey – Bespoke
The discreet charm of the long has always interpreted refinement and style. Versatile, sophisticated and feminine, created for a unique and elegant occasion, but also for less formal occasions. A belted, high-waisted insert in matching, shimmering effect highlights the flowing bodice while uncovering the back. A sober elegance but very sensual, thanks to the slit on the front that allows sweet games of seduction. Whether it's the red carpet of a social event or the entrance to the venue where you're celebrating a special occasion, it's nice to feel your best to honor the evening. The choice of shoes becomes very important to complete the outfit. High shoes with thin heels, with long and elegant dresses are an evergreen combination with which you can never go wrong.

Cady crepe longuette dress – Bespoke
Iconic, feminine and above all versatile and always up-to-date, the black dress is a passe-par-tout garment. In fact, it does not just adapt, but transforms, combining tradition and innovation. It was Coco Chanel who made it a symbol of elegance and style when she introduced the 'Chanel black dress' in the 1920s, a simple and sophisticated design that revolutionised fashion at the time. With Coco, the black dress became elegant and chic, adaptable and perfect for different occasions. A timeless garment.
My elegant and sophisticated black longuette dress, in soft and enveloping cady crepe, aligns with the minimalist trend, with clean, essential and tailored lines, embellished with a small drape on the front that ends on the left shoulder. The added value of the garment is the finishing touches that are all handmade. It reminds us of the importance of simple, well-cut garments, indispensable in every woman's wardrobe.
If it is true that total black looks are a certainty, it is also true that the black dress allows us to experiment with new colour combinations, creating looks with great visual impact.

Black lace long skirt
Elegant and sophisticated black lace long skirt, lined in fine silk georgette. Romantic, dreamy and with a veiled boho flavor, the long black lace skirt takes the top spot of current trends, becoming the garment to always have in your closet. Appreciated especially for its versatility, it can also be worn in the evening, completing the look with a tailored blazer or an elegant crop top with a structured, strapless cut, accompanied by pointed ballet flats or an elegant pump. Sensual enough, refined enough, it is the sovereign garment of the early cold weather. Celebrated on catwalks from Chanel to Dior, a brand that has made craftsmanship its style signature, the lace skirt is delicate and precious but also contemporary and effortless chic. On the catwalks each season, many brands have revisited the lace skirt, giving it new meanings and new identities. Lace is indeed an extremely valuable material that has followed all phases of people's lives over the centuries. At the same time, lace is a material that, having originated around 1500 and originally used only for religious decorations, has undergone many transformations. Sheer or lined, stiff but fluttering, delicate but sexy, the lace skirt is as central to fashion discourse today as it was decades ago. Lace is the material that speaks of childhood, growth and change. It talks about baptisms, weddings and funerals but also about burlesque and lingerie and also pays tribute to an invaluable Italian and European manufacturing sector. Simone Rocha, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino would not be the same without the use of lace in an effort to keep alive the artisan tailoring tradition that gives them life.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Maxi skirt with cotton top and paillet embroidery – Bespoke
The long, high-waisted or low-waisted maxi skirt in denim or flowing fabrics manage to fit every physique and is confirmed as one of the most important trends for the seasons to come, and from the catwalks come style tips.
Celebrities know it well, too, who love to make it the star of their outfits, from casual to elegant, giving us valuable street style inspirations.
My proposed high-waisted skirt model, delicate and refined to the point, is in pure black cotton with precious sequined embroidery of small palm trees and with matching structured crop top in the same fabric and color.
Superb workmanship and tailoring come together to create a small masterpiece to be worn with extreme pleasure. And it happens not only on evening occasions but also in everyday life.
