THE JULY WARDROBE: SUMMER ESCAPE

Summer escapes require lightweight, versatile and functional pieces of clothing. In our July wardrobe we like to include at the same time a good dose of the latest SS21 trends, such as halterneck tops, and some vitamin colors on fluttering shirts to contrast with always flattering black total looks. Our favorite combo is simple and easy to replicate: a top of your choice, whether it’s a cropped one or an oversized shirt, and a micro skirt to dance the night away.

PRADA MENSWEAR SS22

An imaginative tunnel connects Milano and Sardinia, where the Prada menswear Spring 2022 collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons comes to life. A fashion show that turns into an idyllic summer escape, away from the pandemic and very much close to nature and freedom. Not surprisingly, immersed in an aura of utopia, hope and positivity, the models wear bare flesh creations: edges are shortened, bodies get undressed and friends find themselves enjoying soft sand and crystalline waters. Lighted-fabric over-the-knees jumpsuits, 70s inspired colorful tank tops and knitted shorts are matched with tailored blazers or patent leather jackets. Versatile and contemporary garments to be worn with the Spring 2022 Prada’s star accessory: the multi-sided bucket hat with irregular profiles and micro-pocket on the back. A breath of rediscovered fresh air we all need.

VILLA LA MADONNA | ASTI

We spent one night at Villa La Madonna, an elegant boutique hotel in the marvellous Piedmont nature surrounded by vineyards and an unique environment of food experiences and relaxing atmospheres.

WHAT: Exclusive Boutique Hotel

WHERE: Regione Madonna, 21, Monastero Bormida (Asti)

WHY: the Italian countryside meets a touch of Nordic Style thanks to the owner’s origins. The Villa promises a relaxing retreat, to relish between pool dips, vineyards sunsets, one or two glasses of autochthon wine and truffle linguine. Recommended.

Summer rhymes with fun and irreverent accessories and not by chance SS21 has crowned crochet hats as the undisputed protagonists of the season. Colorful objects of pleasure to DIY or choose among the creations of some of the biggest names in fashion. PLACESOFOURS selection ranges from super cool pieces made of contrasts and color blocks (Etro) to monochromatic crochet buckets (Stüssy), from Seventies inspired ones (Anthropologie) to logo knitted hats (Fendi).

THE FLORAL SWIMWEAR EDIT

While temperatures are on the rise and plans are being made, floral bikinis and one-piece swimsuits are the summer uniform that will rule the season. All kinds and colors of leaves and flowers land on contemporary models, made of geometrical shapes, sexy cut-outs and wrapped details. No matter which direction your vacation will take, heads will roll as soon as you will step on beaches and poolside edges. 

Pack a good dose of bouquets to make it a hot and fun season: here our selection of the best floral swimwear for summer 2021!   

MEN IN STRIPED SHIRTS

1. Uniqlo 2. Burberry 3. Balenciaga 4. Polo Ralph Lauren 5. Gucci

Among many uncertainties, in a man’s wardrobe one thing is for sure: once summer rolls in, striped shirts grab the mic and steal the show as the absolute protagonists of the season. For summer 2021, the models are versatile and numerous, ready to be tucked in a straight leg jeans, dropped on a pair of swishy pants or combined with a dynamic summer suit. From the most classic color-combo (Balenciaga) to the more whimsical one (Polo Ralph Lauren), striped shirts are the flyest solution for any lazy day to night look. Late for work? Got a date you can’t miss? Still do not know what to wear in the AM? Just add stripes.

FENDI CAFFE | MILANO

Just until the 7th of June, the 7th floor of La Rinascente Milano will host the temporary bar Fendi Café. The eponymous Roman fashion House customized all food-breaks for the launch of its Summer Capsule 2021 FF Vertigo.

A colorful and comics-inspired design with a direct view to the majestic piers of the Duomo Cathedral: here you can enjoy exclusive monogrammed burgers, pizzas, sweets, soft drinks and cocktails. All in the name of Silvia Venturini Fendi aesthetic.
