Describe your blog :
My blog was created more than a month ago!
Behind its simple graphics and the combination of soft colors, there is more than just pictures and outfits.
There is, first of all, a passion for fashion which is undoubtedly innate in me and also there is a constant dedication and use of forces to find  always new trends or events in the world of fashion, which as we know, is always in perpetual evolution as in a kind of stroke.

Who is your idol :
I haven’t an idol in detail and this is not because I have a well defined style, I love playing with different combinations.
Therefore, if granted, I’ll do a list of characters who have certainly influenced the choices of clothes present in my wardrobe and, why not, they also impressed me with their charisma.
With no doubt, I’m talking about actors like James Dean, Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, the legendary Marcello Mastroianni (…)

I think that all of us are inspired by what we see and certainly television is one of the most influential  means of persuasion; actors like them convinced me that it is often the accessory which makes the difference and, why not, in the case of a James Dean or a John Travolta in “Grease”, I have also took the shabby glamour model.

Unfortunately, I think there are a lots of characters and, unable to talk about all of them, I prefer to define myself like the synthesis of elements from a multifaceted view and a crossroads of peoples and cultures.

Your goals :
I gradually stabilized my goals and now I think that my only project is to grow up my followers and to popularize my website, this could one day take me away far so I’m open to new horizons, you know, more you’re  flying high and more you can see the landscape!

What can you say about Fashion in Italy ?
Ooooh, great question!
I’m of the opinion that there is nothing better than the Italian fashion to the variety of shapes, patterns and fabrics.
Just think about a Valentino, a Versace, an Armani, a Moschino (…)
I think is their fame to speak full of them, I don’t  add more that our designers, from decades, are really making  a great job and always they manage to make us satisfied and pampered.

What’s your favorite brand ?
My favorite brand is Burberry and this because I love the sober, the refined, this brand that stands out without the need to shout “ehyyy I’m here!” and which now is literally invading wardrobes worldwide.

What’s your favourite post so far ? 
My favourite post is the one which I called “red and white squares” ( read the post ) and that’s why I truly love the jacket I worn but also my grandfather’s vintage sunglasses and what about my moleskine which in a shoot comes out from the pocket ? In my opinion: SO COOL.

Which designer would you love to work with ?
I’d love to work with Louis Vuitton because in the past like in the present, I was and I’m in love with his evergreen monogram but also with all his collection (scarves,belts,luggage )
There is little to say or to do: it was love at first sight.

Advice for other young people who wants to start blogging :
Unluckily I’m not a trade’s veteran so I won’t  be the wisdom in person but what I recommend is , first of all, always being yourself and never lose the control of what you are and of what you want to become.
Then, you know, behind this passion there must be ambition, without it you don’t go anywhere, then you should always be open to any kind of criticism or comparison, you must see them as an opportunity to exchange views but also for improvement!
For the rest, good luck to all emerging fashion bloggers, I hope one day to meet you all and maybe to cooperate with you!
