History https://www.instagram.com/calzoleriatoscana/

Calzoleria Toscana was founded in 1958 by master shoemaker Luciano Bettaccini in Monsummano Terme in the province of Pistoia, at a time when craftsmanship in the high leather goods sector was leading the way.

Today it is Enrico and Paolo Barni, Luciano’s grandsons, who carry on with pride and passion a reality that has conquered the market over the years.

The secret of Calzoleria Italiana’s success starts with the constant passion that has always distinguished this company, but also the ability to keep up with the times by trying to meet trends and attitudes even if the classic imprint remains.

Each shoe is born from a heritage of craftsmanship techniques that combine quality and unique design to give the wearer elegance and personality.

All processes from drawing to pattern making to sample making to store release are steps strictly followed in-house.

Tuscan shoemaking e Rosso Fiorentino represent the two main lines

From classic to trendy , from sneakers to the finest crocodile models Calzoleria Toscana has an eclectic offering.

The company’s true signature is the original technique of garment-dyed, a process in which shoes are soaked in a drum (a large washing machine) for eight hours, washed and dyed with natural pigments, and then left to rest for two days. The result is a leather with rich, muted colors, reminiscent of old-world elegance, but with a softness and comfort that lasts.

This event marked a pivotal moment in Akutami’s career, as he carefully chose this iconic space after being captivated by its beauty during a previous fashion show in 2022. “If I were to host it for the first time, the place would be here,” the artist enthusiastically declared, emphasizing the special bond he has established with the French capital.

Akutami is not just a designer; he is a storyteller through his creations. His latest collection, inspired by the themes of “Ninja” and “Oiran,” reflects a contemporary interpretation of “cyberpunk” style, blending tradition and modernity.

The “Hannya” masks, symbols of protection and transformation, were used as accents, adding further depth to his garments. Although the works are not for sale, they can be made to order, allowing each customer to own a unique piece of his artistic vision.

Akutami’s career intertwines with Milan, where he participated in his fifth Milan Fashion Week. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that I was trained in Milan, thank you Milan!” the designer states, acknowledging the city’s importance in his professional and personal growth. However, his gaze is critical towards other fashion capitals: “NYFW felt dead,” he comments, highlighting the lack of authenticity and respect for American fashion culture.

A distinctive aspect of Akutami’s work is his commitment to diversity. The model audition, held two days before his show, saw the participation of over 300 candidates, from which 13 Japanese models were selected.

The selection process was grounded in a fundamental principle: “live happily,” with no limitations on height, weight, age, or experience. This focus on diversity is also reflected in his past work, where he debuted models in wheelchairs, curvy, and visually impaired, demonstrating that beauty knows no boundaries.

Akutami continues to write his chapter in the history of fashion, combining creativity, inclusivity, and a strong connection to his roots. To stay updated on his creations and for special orders, one can visit his official website or follow him on social media.

In a fashion world that often tends towards uniformity, Akutami stands out for his bold vision and his ability to celebrate diversity, making each of his collections a true hymn to beauty in all its forms.

Economics, finance, artificial intelligence, sustainability, electric mobility, wine and food, but now Pietro Polidori, a South Tyrolean doc, with his five languages and 20 years of experience (17 countries around the world for hundreds of performances), is ready for big institutional challenges. Conducting and presenting is the essence of his life; he can master complex and varied topics with particular dexterity, with a noble purpose, as he too admits – “that of helping the audience to better understand the subject matter that is being dealt with, whether it is easy to enjoy or more laborious. And this is made possible both by a clear and crisp understanding of what is displayed on the stages and by a good knowledge of human nature, another less palpable but equally significant feature of such a craft.”

Pietro was born in Bressanone, in the Province of Bolzano, in the beautiful South Tyrol/South Tyrol, to a Genoese father and a German-speaking mother from South Tyrol. After graduating from high school in science, he moved to Austria, where he began studying architecture. Although he completed the university course with an excellent final grade, he already realized during his university years that he would probably not pursue a career in architecture. The world that fascinates him most is communications, a field in which he began working soon after graduation. After years of experience and commitment, Polidori finally lands on the stages of international conventions in several countries, solidifying his role as a presenter of prestigious events.

He has introduced and dialogued with international stars such as Sting, Andrea Bocelli, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Tyson, Seal, Nicole Scherzinger, Jason Derulo, Flavio Briatore, as well as entrepreneurs, foundation presidents, managers and artists from various branches.

In interviews in which he tells his story he confesses: “already during my architectural studies I noticed that I did not mind talking in front of people. Atavistic in my nature. But it was in 2004 the beginning of my career. My first stage.”

Secret? “A presenter or anchorman should never prevaricate. He is not the protagonist. In fact, sometimes one is called a ‘moderator’ precisely because of the etymology of the term, being moderate and not overdoing too much self-centeredness and/or self-aggrandizement.”

Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, complete in everything, stage presence even, which-while not essential-surely helps in certain dynamics where elegance must play its part. And then maturity and personal growth: “I want to make it clear, it’s not about the plot, it’s about structuring the events. I have worked in the United States, a lot in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Hong Kong, Tokyo … also Denmark and Monaco. Conferences and conventions in dual languages (English), from pharmacological to banking to sustainable or pure business, private gala dinners with concerts (Bocelli and Sting for example) and other besides varied. Capri, Portofino, Porto Cervo…”

Among the various world tours, he certainly could not miss the juicy anecdote that sees him starring in Las Vegas, and not only on the stage in conducting, but in the guise of Chef Provetto (see photo) at the home of former heavyweight champion Tyson while, Polidori himself, cooks exclusively for his friend Iron Mike a timeless pasta al pomodoro and a delicious tiramisu!

And-for a man who has been able to rise to these levels-the dream not only seems clear and self-evident, but also concretely achievable: “To continue to grow both in number of engagements but more importantly in quality. What I aspire to are events with important institutional positions, whether national or European or world. Definitely it is among my most heartfelt short-term goals. A G7 or a World Economic Forum just to say, it would be a good litmus test and a test case that I would like to put myself on. And also position myself as one of the most engaged presenters — in terms of numbers — on the old continent.

Maria Antoinette is the creative mind of the brand, skilled and careful in researching fabrics and details. His creations amount to a beauty made of tradition and innovation, of an ever-evolving style, where a passion for luxury and uniqueness emerges.

To the origins of the tradition of excellence

The fabric of San Leucio has remote origins. The San Leucio Silk is an excellence of the Campania region, later to become a World Heritage Site. This wonderful silk tradition dates back to the time of the Bourbon reign and is closely linked to the Royal Palace of Caserta.

An ancient history that inaugurated the first workshop for weaving Silk produced by silkworm farms. In the early 1900s the town of Caiazzo was also involved in silkworm processing. This precious fabric always had an enveloping appeal for Marie Antoinette.

It encapsulates the history of traditions, values and those of the area to which it belongs.
The basic San Leucio Silk fabric is embellished in turn with trimmings, lace, chiffon, organza, semiprecious stones, half-crystals and beads.

Born in 1941 in Tintwistle, the British designer has influenced fashion for the past 60 years. She passed away a few days ago surrounded by the affection of her loved ones in Clapham, South London. Vivienne, until the last moment, continued to do the things she loved by ideating, designing, working on her art, writing, and changing the world for the better.

The passing was made official by Andreas Kronthaler, husband and creative partner of the popular designer. The two had met in the late 1980s at the University of applied arts in Vienna, where Westwood taught fashion design. “I will continue to carry Vivienne in my heart,” reads the statement announcing her death. “We worked until the end, and she gave me plenty to do. Thank you honey. The world,” reads the statement announcing her death, “needs people like Vivienne to change for the better. She who had been the undisputed queen of the punk aesthetic, the latter times, considered herself a Taoist.”

A few months ago Westwood founded the “Vivienne Foundation,” a nonprofit corporation, with her children and grandson, will be officially launched next year to honor, protect and continue the legacy of Vivienne’s life, design and activism. The Foundation’s goal is to raise awareness and create tangible change by working with NGOs, based on four pillars: climate change, stop war, human rights advocacy and protest against capitalism. Values that have accompanied her throughout her life.
