MEN IN FW20 CAPSULE COLLECTIONS TO KEEP EYES ON

Italians say “l’unione fa la forza”. Discover the latest Fall/Winter 2020 menswear capsule collections, for an overdose of doubled designer styles. 

No sneakers for the so hyped Supreme x Nike co-lab, but a 90s inspired streetwear clothing line made of windbreakers, sweatshirts, relaxed polos, reversible joggers and bermudas.

A-Cold-Wall x Converse keeps the stylistic codes at the core of the two Anglo-Saxon labels: earth-toned hues, asymmetric lines and utilitarian inspired silhouettes that turn into genderless tracksuits and a pair of sneakers, the Converse All Star Lugged redesigned.

Louis Vuitton x Nigo transforms the aesthetic of the iconic French Maison Monogram. A logo, overlapping the Damier motif, that invades and renovates iconic garments and accessories.

The extreme outerwear meets the eclectic world in the The North Face x MM6 Maison Margiela partnership. A series of scenographic puffers, tent-inspired capes and anoraks for the adventurous.

Fashion hungry? Travis Scott launches a special capsule collection with McDonald’s: a closet full of graphic loose T-shirts, hoodies, detailed denim garments, shorts and a huge range of accessories.

MASSERIA POTENTI | MANDURIA

As anticipated in our Apulian disposable series, on our last days of vacation we drove to Manduria to spend some recharging time in Masseria Potenti. In short, as one of the most typical structures of Puglia, a Masseria has the facade of an antique, local farm but inside its white walls hides a whole world of hidden treasures. A place to retreat, relax and reconnect with nature.

What positively impressed and inspired us about Masseria Potenti, aside from its rural beauty, is its family-centered identity. Born from the never forgotten love for their land of origin, Maria Grazia Di Lauro and her husband Paolo transformed the building into a dreamy place that became the home of gem apartments, a secluded pool, perfect for lazy dips, SPA treatments and a restaurant with moroccan furniture influences + Apulian dishes – all of this framed in prickly pear plants, succulents and luminarie del Salento.

During our first breakfast we had the pleasure of meeting Chiara, a young charismatic woman that we soon discovered to be the founders’ daughter, the one who now fully manages the place. Her tales about business and life adventures have been so intriguing and motivational to us that we are sure she has that light to make every host feel at ease and home. A perfect (girl) boss of the house.

Between ancient sheepfolds and farmers houses, our room boasted a private garden with an olive tree, lavender and herbs bushes, while inside the interior was clean and minimal, enriched by vaulted ceilings and a king size bathtub where to drown in hot bubbles.

WHAT: Masseria Potenti

WHERE: Contrada Potenti, 74024, Manduria 

WHY: There is no Apulian trip with no Masseria stay. This one in particular gave us much needed chilled out vibes, surrounded by nature, tranquillity and a sky so beautiful at night you can catch shooting stars. For us is a five stars and a sure come back.
