I adore the exuberance of shapes and the drama of all that gold everywhere!<br />
I put together a small collage inspired by Baroque for OPERA OPERA, the vintage boutique where I work at in Hong Kong.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">"Wa" means Japanese and "Shi" means paper. <span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"> Paper has long been the medium for the expression of ART. WASHI jeans use denim, as an alternative form of paper, to produce a piece of ART through washing and hand finishing. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">WASHI jeans are the medium for individual expression, creation, and innovation. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">All WASHI jeans are made in Japan, exclusively. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Everyone in the denim industry acknowledges that the best washes and hand finishes come out of Japan. It is possible to do things there which laundries and developers in other countries can only dream of achieving. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Hiro, WASHI jeans' founder, treats the process of developing the finished jeans as an artist would in creating a unique piece of work. A detailed and painstaking process undertaken with the help and guidance of a team of artisan workers in the laundry in Japan. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">WASHI jeans are made in extremely limited quantities to further enhance the rarity and exclusivity of the finished articles. No more than fifty pieces of each fit and wash will be made at one time. One jean can undergo more than twenty different processes and take over two months from finished sewing to the end of the washing and hand treatments. This is what Hiro loves to do. Labouring at the rock face, carving away, working and re-working until the jean is finished and can be viewed as a piece of art.</span></span></div>

Don't get me wrong, I love to spend time with my family back in Italy, and Christmas gives a special <i>aura </i>that warms up the hart. However I am not a fan of all the Christmas decorations an shopping madness, especially the present wrapping part. In fact I really can't stand it, the music drives me crazy and makes me nauseous.<br />
<br />
New Years is even worse, the general forced happiness feeling in the air really makes me want to put my head under water. My preferred method of celebrating New Year is: sleep right through it. The best. Although most of the time I am forced in some party/dinner/fireworks of some sort, which ALWAYS ends up in me suffering through it with a tight smile on my face.<br />
<br />
However after all of those painful days, finally comes the reward: Fashion Week season!!! Alleluia!<br />
This year will be different as I am in Hong Kong. Exciting!<br />
I have, anyways, I really cool party to share, be sure to go there if you live in Italy (or if you are just passing by!)<br />

I flew from Hong Kong to Cebu with a very cheap flight (Airphil Express). I spent one night in Cebu Guesthouse, an hostel quite close by the airport as I arrived late at night. The morning after I went to Moalboal, on the other side of the island, but completely worth the 2 and half hour drive.</div>

I stayed at <a href="http://www.bedandbreakfastcebu.it/Il_Sogno.html">Il Sogno</a>, an amazing place owned by Franco, an Italian who lives in the Philippines for ore than 20 years. The room was bigger than any other room I have ever owned and the view was simply breathtaking!</div>

From mosaics in Sicily, to Egyptian tombs, undergarments have been a part of our wardrobe for literally ages.<div>
<br /><div>
But when did they become fashionable? When did lingerie evolved into statements pieces that Madonna would wear on stage?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the 18th Century women were constricted into corset and in the 1920s they were liberated by Chanel and Paul Poiret new fashion silhouettes.</div>
<div>
As often happens with fashion, controversy makes it more popular.</div>
<div>
Today corsets, stockings and night robes can be worn even over garments in everyday life.</div>

So exciting to be organizing this event. It is basically a collaboration with Ceri Vintage, an amazing vintage shop in Florence, Italy, which is also partner of OPERA OPERA in Hong Kong. It is going to be a weekend of vintage-only crazy discounts, I can't wait!!!<br />

They always remind me when I studied in Art school...<br />
<br />
Tonight I am very excited to be going to an Exhibition in Hong Kong called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/461931077163323/"><i>Colors of the City</i> by Federico Fiorentini</a>, a fellow Italian!<br />

I love many things about my Country, but I am not going to discuss them now.<br />
The one aspect of Italy that is part of my style and taste is definitely quality. It is more and more hard to find and the recent collaboration of H&M with Italian names have been a slap in the face in matters of quality in general. Now that I work in Hong Kong I am surprised to have found great places and brands that provide amazing quality clothes and accessories at reasonable prices. I am saying <i>reasonable </i>because if I had found it for <i>cheap</i> then I am sorry, but it is probably not the quality that I mean. I want good fabrics, rich and durable, I want original cuts, flattering to the woman's figure and I want attention to details such as stitching and finishings. Is that such an obnoxious request? Back in the days when items were tailor made (because that was the only way to do it), it was regular practice to make garments and accessories that would fit the description above. I guess that is why I love vintage so much...<br />
