Roberto Cavalli Creates Credit Card

Email thisPosted Jan 10th 2009 at 11:00AM by Tiffany Neal

Credit cards are very evil. And yet, we have all fallen victim to them at one point in time, charging Christian Louboutin pumps and Marc by Marc cardigans like there is no tomorrow . So consider this latest accessory by Italian designer Roberto Cavalli especially cruel.

Wings + Horn Fall/Winter 2008

Email thisPosted Sep 21st 2008 at 4:14PM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Clothing, Men

Canada may not be known as a hotbed of fashion design, but streetwear company Wings + Horn make shoes and basics for men that could trick you into thinking otherwise.

This is the second season the line has offered footwear, and the Italian-made low-tops and hi-tops are a hybrid of casual comfort and high-fashion detailing. (Think Dior + A.P.C. x Converse.) Clothing mostly comes in utilitarian gray and black, and includes worn-in T-shirts, zip-up hoodies in coated terry, and reversible, striped jersey scarves.

Find clothes by Wings + Horn at New York's Blackbird and kicks at Vancouver's own Roden Gray.

Beauty pageant for nuns

(Nuns: hot or not? Click the photo to find out!)

Ever seen a really hot nun? Neither have we. In fact, it feels a little immoral (and just...icky) to even imagine a sexy sister stunning visitors at her local convent -- but one Italian priest feels differently.

Roberto Cavalli ain't selling

Italian designer Roberto Cavalli talks a mean game, but it appears his bark is much bigger than his actual bite.

WWD reports Cavalli will not be selling his namesake fashion label as was expected this year. This announcement comes after the designer informed the Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore that the economy wasn't too kind to his label this year, "I'm not selling the company. The timing is not ripe yet for such a step. What's more, as I have already said a thousand times, we don't need [to sell]."

We feel for you Cavalli. We really do. Now, does this mean you'll be making more collections with H&M in the near future?

Random sexy italian lingerie: Parah Noir

Email thisPosted Jul 9th 2008 at 9:14AM by Cat Lincoln

While looking for something else, we stumbled upon this fabulously Italian lingerie line, Parah Noir, and their sexy Milan fashion show. From what we can gather through Google translation of an Italian fashion blog, it's a legendary corset line that was big in the 90s, and they're making a comeback.

Two of the models were were sexy Italian film "stars" Linda Santaguida and Costantino Vitagliano. Apparently they're a couple, and love each other a lot based on these steamy pool photos.

At first we thought it wasn't a terribly practical line, but once we saw the picture of models wearing the velvety, bondage bras standing at the buffet table, it made a strange sort of "only in Italy" sense.

Experience the Fellini-like event in the gallery.

Italian Vogue is all black, Paris couture show all white

The media has been abuzz about the July issue of Italian Vogue which will feature over 150 pages dedicated exclusively to black models and stories about successful black entertainers and performers. Famed photographer Steven Meisel -- you may remember him from his Naked Madonna days -- was selected by Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani to shoot the issue.

The issue will feature new faces like Jourdan Dunn alongside famed beauties like Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek. Sozzani says she was inspired by Barrack Obama's historic presidential campaign. Her intention was to spark conversations about race, and to demonstrate that there is more to beauty than blond, blue eyed Russian models.

Gessato: Italian for your face

Email thisPosted Jun 26th 2008 at 3:01PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care

To refer to Gessato's shaving treatment as shaving cream would be like calling gelato an ice cream. It ain't right.

Sure, gelato and ice cream are both made with milk and sugar, but... oh, sorry.

Gessato, as a company, is "Italian artisanship with modern formulations." This means that they make and market their products "in the United States with an Italian sensibility for time-hewn craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail."

Karen Allen was very busy knitting, not thinking about Indiana Jones at all

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is fun and action-packed. Total summertime fun. Plus, it brings back Karen Allen as the feisty Marion Ravenwood, our favorite heroine from the films. Are you aware that she has the best action figure of all time from the original film? Also, she's an innovative knitwear designer.

Karen went to FIT when she was 17, and returned in 2002 to study machine kitting technology. In 2003 she opened her own studio in Great Barrington, Massachusetts where she produces beautiful sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves and more, all made of Italian and Scottish cashmere.

Roberto Cavalli moonstone ring is over the top fab

Roberto Cavalli is the designer of choice for divas like the Spice Girls, Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Heidi Klum. He inexplicably selected Amy Winehouse to be his latest muse/model.

Remember when he dressed up as Karl Lagerfeld for Halloween? He is Italian and he is bold.

Reading in the tub... in the bookcase

Email thisPosted Mar 27th 2008 at 8:01PM by Whit Honea

We only have one bathroom in our house. Luckily, I work from home and seldom shower so our time conflicts are held to a minimum. Of course, even if I wanted to spend a moment in the bathroom I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. My two small boys see to that. The idea of having quality time in there is just a dream in our house, something that only happens in songs and movies. What songs? How about Rubber Ducky? See, I know what I'm talking about.

That is why I was so excited when I saw this Biblio tub from Antonio Lupi which features a beautiful rectangular tub with clean lines and lots of space (length, I'm 6'3) built into a bookcase frame. How sweet is that?

It's amazing what you can get for $17,000 these days. A library for the bathtub. It's too rich for my pocket, but not for my dreams.
