Idealist like a modern Karen Blixen, magnetic and cosmopolitan like Mata Hari. Wearing animal-printed scarves and fringed pashmina, canvas hats and handwoven raffia slippers, and jewels suspended between natural shapes and ancestral symbols. This coming summer’s woman chooses a balanced mix of nostalgia and ethno-chic sophistication. Her outfit tells stories of faraway lands, but also of traditions and know-how, of commitment and sustainability. The simple elegance of a linen Safari jacket is alternated with the dynamism of Wax prints on blouson and sartorial shirt-dresses. Because it’s wonderful to speak of the world to the world.

ANGELA CAPUTI - GIUGGIÙ

ZEBRA is an elegant animal print-themed collection with gold tones sprayed on a black background. A line with simple shapes that focuses all of its efforts on two-tone graphics. BAMBÙ is a collection of great impact that does not pass unnoticed. Resin circles mime gold-dipped bamboo canes and are matched with spotted details. The up-and-coming spring-summer, with the jewels of Florentine designer Angela Caputi, conveys a fascination with faraway land and cultures.

ASH

Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna. Next to them, a long list of celebrities and IT-girls who wear ASH. The eye of French stylist Patrick Ithier for the design and the commercial intuitiveness of entrepreneur Leonello Calvani are determining factors for the international success of the brand. Focused on footwear, ASH combines French flair with Italian design heritage. Today, the brand’s collections include other product lines like prêt-à-porter, bags, and accessories.

DE SIENA

Coup de foudre between glamour and sustainability. A difficult pairing that the brand achieves through its collections of hyper-feminine sandals. Combinations of natural raffia yarns, colors burned by the sun, structures artisanally woven, and hand-embroidered crystals. This complex direction gives rise to stylistic equilibrium in creations designed in Italy and woven by hand by expert artisans. On a foundation of sustainable materials and low power consumption in production.
