Here are my latest finds and news from style, fashion, film, photography, design and beautiful living.
• Celebrating craftsmanship with the first Bottega Veneta book, produced by creative director Tomas Maier in collaboration with book designer Sam Shahid and a few prominent fashion journalists like Tim Blanks and Sarah Mower. Here is an interview with Tomas Maier, talking about Bottega Veneta, the book and the supremacy of craftsmanship.
• And moving on to another Italian fashion house, I’m loving these photos of Giorgio Armani shot by David Lees for Time magazine in 1979. Read more about the all-time 100 fashion icons, from models and muses to designers and photographers.
• Gwyneth Paltrow interviews Diane von Furstenberg for Goop
• I heart Garance Doré’s photo shoot for Equipment. She lenses some of the most stylish women in the fashion business, sporting, what else, Equipment shirts. There’s a lovely video there too.
• How to get Emmanuelle Alt’s day-to-night uniform
• DIY: scarf kaftan dress
• Always looking for new ways to display my stacks of magazines
• Le Nouveau Film: apart from the weekly guest film posts (mainly classics) on Classiq, I’ve introduced a new film feature on my Facebook page, where you will find my recommendations every Friday. Although more and more rare nowadays, I always discover new good movies, especially European ones, that I want to share. I hope you’ll enjoy.
• Don’t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY: The Sartorialist: Closer

Hi Ada! I’ve just posted Bottega Veneta book too. Seems an amazing book and I’m whishing to have it! Loving the looks of Equipment and Emmanuelle. I hope to get luck and win this fabulous Sartorialist book!!
I really enjoyed Gwyneth Paltrow’s interview with Diane Von Furstenberg for Goop! And that DIY kaftan is genius!
Loved the interview with Tomas Maier and the list of 100 fashion icons…really interesting reads. That Equipment video is so cute – very much like a scene from Pardon My French I think? Lovely Links Ada !:)x
I cannot wait to get my hands on this Bottega book…Loving all your links Ada, I must check out your fb page, I was just telling a friend that I wish I could see some sort of movie every night of the week that I liked as much as the last Almodovar…well one can dream.

‘The Skin I Live In’ really is one of the best films of the last I don’t know how many years. But I have a few recommendations in store you might like.
I am going to be a broke soon – another fabulous book that I must have… My Christmas wish list is growing every day – I have a feeling, the order will be delivered by a lorry.
The pin was re-pinned – a beautiful way to decorate with magazines! x
Where do I begin with praising this post?!! That book of course went straight to my wish list! I shared the Tomas Maier interview on FB right after reading it; I really enjoyed that one and I have to say that I love short interviews like that. I so enjoyed Garance’s video and I have to add that I loved all the blouses and tops these women were wearing. Really beautiful. And it looked like such a fun group. Finally, I’ll be enjoying the 100 fashion icons link in the next days. Simply wonderful.
That Georgio Armani shoot is amazing!
What a beautiful book! I’d love something like this to add to my coffee table books, there must be lots of deets on the craftmanship of bags.
I also loved the Goop interview with DVF… she’s a rockstar that lady, what a legend.

Love Emmanuelle Alt´s style, it so effortless, not too cute and chic. I will add the Botega book to my list
I like the idea with the scarf dress, Ada, I should do that one day
I am not a snake skin print lover, but that python green shirt I would really wear. I also enjoyed the Tomas Maier interview
