Gli Azzurri
Blue is worn by Italian soccer players, Olympiads and represents over 6 centuries of tradition.
A moment in time, 1960 Olympics in Rome.
Although our 50 American states have been snuggling under the same constitution since 1776, Italy’s 20 regions didn’t unify until 1861. Ironically, Garibaldi, the Northern general who is credited to have unified all regions, won his final battles in Sicily weeks before the first shots of the American Civil war at Fort Sumter.

In the world of fashion, competition is nothing new. Showing collections 2 times a year + 2 pre season presentations, designers fight for buyer budgets, mag covers and global retail space. It would be defying the laws of fashion physics if this competition did not rise to political levels.
In fact, I believe Condé Nast editors and Milan fashion week organizers just settled a dispute regarding overlapping NY & Milan schedules come this September, a possibility that would have compromised the already chaotic travel schedules of editor, model, buyer attendees and not to mention the “off broadway” economy that continues to extract business from the weeks’ enrichment of the local economies via after parties, retail celebrations and fringe transactions of fashion and textile trade.

Animals take their turn on the runway almost as often as Creative Directors (I can’t keep up! Sander in; Simmons out…Pilati out; Selmane in… and Lam leaves Tod’s!).
This Fall, the who’s hoo of fashion have a new furry friend, or should I say flocked to a new feather and paraded a new mascot down the runways. Owls take place of last season’s Givenchy’s rottweilers and black panther adorned bags, blouses and smocks.
At Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, a collection in which every look composed of an avion flux, graphic prints , a bold trifecta of primary colors: yellow, cobalt and red. Touching on a 70′s macramet meets macaroni mosaic style execution, Burberry and Anna Sui featured owls beaded on tees, knitted in sweaters and shaped as hats.
