Festival season is almost there! in April the legendary Coachella will have an awesome (it really sounds so from the line up) 2012 edition, and I’ll post here and there some inspiration for your outfits (.. Because you’ll go to one at least, right?). A large, cozy and not too warm (supposively you’ll dance and sing and walk around) sweater is a passe partout for every festival. It will keep you warm in the english muddy festival weather or when the sun goes down while the bands are playing (.. I can’t wait for this moment!). Today I’m showing you some photos I took the other day of some grungy pieces at Brandy & Melville in Milan: american flag sweater and shredded denim shorts. They do a bit of Kate Bosworth at the last Coachella, plus this season’s grunge mood. This look goes with hi tops sneakers or suede mocassins, friendship bracelets and sunglasses with a thin line. ..And you, have you already chosen your style inspiration for next summer’s festivals?

Festival season is almost there! Non vedo l’ora. Ad Aprile sara’ il leggendario festival di Coachella ad aprire le danze con una grande (lo dico perche’ dalla line up e’ proprio questo che mi aspetto) edizione del 2012, ed io postero’ qui e la’ alcune Inspirations per gli outfit (..Perche’ andrete almeno ad un festival nei mesi a venire, no?). Una larga, comoda e non troppo calda (perche’ si suppone che ballerete, canterete, e camminerete su e giu’) maglia e’ un vero passe partout per ogni festival. Vi terra’ al caldo nel melmoso clima dei festival inglesi o quando il sole tramonta sulle band che suonano (.. Non vedo l’ora!!). Qua sotto potete vedere lacune foto che ho fatto l’altro giorno di alcuni pezzi grungy da Brandy & Melville a Milano: maglia con bandiera americana e shorts strappati di denim. Fanno un po’ Kate Bosworth all’ultimo Coachella, aggiungendo il mood grunge di questa stagione. Questo look si completa con stivali-mocassino o sneakers alla caviglia, friendship bracelets e occhiali da sole dalla linea leggera. ..E voi, avete gia’ scelto la vostra ispirazione per i festival della prossima estate?

.. And it looks pretty amazing. What immediately grabs my attention are the signature necklaces of the brand that have been at the top of my obsessions’ list a while ago: Marni statement accessories have the power to dramatically change the simplest look and give it much of a stronger personality. I like also the jackets (the dotted one and the shiny black one) and tees, painted in those intellectual tribal chic prints that are signature of the brand. Another pleasant surprise: the man! This capsule collection is really interesting from A to Z. The jackets are a mixture of casual sportswear lines and eccentric bright colors that give to this line the status of an urban classic: the lines of the suit is classy but contemporary (look at the nice calf-lenght and cigarette line of trousers), shirts are that nice mix of prints and bicolor that can suit every occasion, and the ties are proper intellectual cool. See you in the H&M stores, March 8th.

.. Ed e’ sorprendente. A catturare subito la mia attenzione sono le collane-signature del brand che sono state in cima alla lista delle mie ossessioni un po’ di tempo fa: gli accessori statement di Marni hanno il potere di cambiare totalmente il piu’ semplice dei look e dargli una personalita’ ben delineata. Mi piacciono molto anche le giacche (quella a pois a quella dal corpetto lucido) e le t-shirts, con le stampe intellectual-chic tribali tipiche del marchio. Un’altra piacevole sorpresa riguarda la collezione uomo: questa capsule collection e’ davvero interessante dalla A alla Z. Le giacche: un misto di linee casual sportswear e colori fluo brillanti che conferiscono a questa collezione lo status di urban classic: la linea del completo e’ elegante ma attuale (da notare la linea a sigaretta dei pantaloni e la loro lunghezza giusto alla caviglia), le camicie sono un bel mix di stampe e bicolore adatto per ogni occasione, e le cravatte rispecchiano il perfetto intellectual cool. L’appuntamento e’ negli stores H&M, 8 Marzo.
