Notebook pages

Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, film, photography, design and beautiful living.

• Charlotte Casiraghi is channelling her grandmother, Grace Kelly, in the latest Gucci Forever Now campaign photographed by Inez and Vinoodh. Charlotte wears Gucci’s classic horsebit-adorned loafers in black and white and a simple shirt paired with cropped tailored trousers and turned up jeans, respectively.

• AltaModa, a project aiming the resurgence of Rome with art and craft on the Italian fashion scene: “The whole concept is to help independence,” says Silvia Venturini Fendi. “Milan does industrial fashion. We want things that last longer. First of all, every piece is different and can also be customized. It is not something that has a date on it. It has a different fashion life.” I like that.
• Past decades celebrities – the real movie stars, among which Monica Vitti, Claudia Cardinale, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, in Fendi
• Behind the scenes video on Marion Cotillard Vogue US cover shoot
• Stripes, jeans and heels: no, I can never get tired of these
• At lunch with Stella McCartney
• How to: ballerina bun: my second favourite way to wear my hair (now that it’s longer) this summer after the ponytail
• A beautiful wedding location, but ideal for a summer escape as well, in bella Italia

    I love all the links Ada, and that photo of the stripes, jeans and heels is inspiring me to get back on my healthy diet–it has been hard with guests and easy summer cooking to be disciplined…Hope your week has been a good one! You’ll have to show a photo of you in a ballerina bun soon!

    Isn’t that Gucci campaign gorgeous.. Love that. I enjoyed reading about the AldaModa project in Rome – so interesting to be bringing in younger designers also. How stunning is that image with Grace Jones in Fendi – wow. Her skin is amazing! I just loved that interview with Stella McCartney – love that she’s wearing her ‘old’ seasons goods too. For me ‘old’ is about 5 or more seasons ago! LOL. Thanks for sharing Ada x

    What a surprise find the link to my recent post. Thank you, Ada!
    I adore this Kelly style for Gucci. An american-Italian style. The images are stunning.
    Marion Cotillard looks beautiful. I’m impressed by her beauty.
    Seems easy to do the ballerina bun, I’ll try to do it with my hair, but first I have to find the donut! 🙂

    I really enjoy reading the article with Stella McCartney and the Olympics, I did not know fashion to be so close to sports :)))) I mean, of course, I want to look good at my pilates lesson, but still, Stella McCartney :))))Well, my pilates lesson is not the Olympics, what’s wrong with me? 😀 Ever since Midnight in Paris, I have a thing for the French actress, I love her!
    Have a lovely day, Ada :*

    This is a beautiful campaign for Gucci; Charlotte is a stunning choice to represent the brand. That jeans + striped shirt look is fabulous – I saw it also and was going to do a post on it; Anh always looks so chic! xx

    You’re notebook pages are the epitome of what I’ve so desperately missed while away! Love the Gucci campaign. She is so incredibly stunning. Off to happily check out your other links now.

    Hope you’re having a wonderful day, Ada! xoxo

    Another set of wonderful links. The Gucci campaign is beautifully shot (my seven-year old will be happy, did I tell you that Gucci is his favourite brand? haha). The Cotillard video had my heart, love it, and I also love the Fendi photos. I agree with you about María’s post. That location was enchanting. I have bookmarked the Stella interview and will enjoy it with my morning coffee.

    I think it would be impossible for Chalotte to be more beautiful than what she already is.
