Vinyl cascades, bloody colors and steel armor: Fall 20 fashion embraces Halloween with spooky yet audacious clothes. Not by chance, the darkest night of the year dresses up as statement chains encircling bold women’s waist, while Saint Laurent’s shiny BDSM-inspired latex becomes seductive night attires and Maison Margiela mannequins show the most mysterious and terrifying side of fashion. Brave and sexy total looks not to be reserved for the trick-or-treat ritual.
Founded in 2012 by Paulina Liffner von Sydow, Little Liffner is a Stockholm based brand that designs “playful minimalist” bags, combining the Scandinavian ease and simplicity with the worldy renowed Italian craftsmanship.
All leather bags, characterized by geometric silhouettes, are offered in a wide range of vibrant shades and signature textures, perfect for all seasons and personalities. Not of less importance, Little Liffner stands out as a sustainable label, committed to provide timeless and artisanal accessories that will last forever.
The worldly crisis brought by Covid19 has put the spotlight on political, social and professional issues, often bypassed or poorly considered over the past years. Fashion, for example, has worked to change its hectic calendar and the overproduction that puts the health of the planet at risk. For this reason both designers and brands are focusing on sustainability, from production methods to the rediscovery of pre-owned items. Some examples?
The Vintage Bar is a digital destination where to stock up on second-hand designer bags and unique pieces, 100% original and juicy.
A few weeks ago, Levi’s launched SecondHand on Levi.com. A just a click away solution to have your favorite pair of jeans with zero environmental impact. Approved by Hailey Bieber.
The Hungarian brand Nanushka has always raised the banner of sustainability, not only for its vegan leather but also for the entire organization chart, from material research to production and distribution.
Luxury winks at the second-hand philosophy too. Gucci joins forces with The RealReal, a portal specialized in the sale and purchase of pre-owned goods. A collaboration which resulted in an e-commerce where both customers and the Italian Maison itself sell irresistible vintage products.
New season, old habits. Since summer is officially archived, it’s time to stock up on the must-haves coats for Fall/Winter 2020, filling closets with practical, modern and eye-catching outerwear. Which are the best fits and styles to invest in? The easy puffer elongates to become the perfect night-out companion while the British countryside inspired silhouette remains a fashion evergreen. Talking about hues and patterns, let loose with boldness and extravagance.
A tasty slice of Greece in the heart of Milano. A warm and welcoming restaurant of recent opening, characterized by red walls, forest green velvet sofas and Klein blue chairs, together with a myriad of golden details.

The menu is an explosion of family recipes and simple ingredients, such as black olives, cucumbers, anchovies haloumi, pastourmas, tzatziki and feta cheese, cooked together to serve the truest hellenic tradition. The service is kind and calm, ideal for a slow food experience.
