Over the weekend the BS4F team and I were busy running (literally) around the city attending presentations and shows in order to share what’s to come for FW16/17 with all of you! I have to say that I was particularly impressed with the Ermanno Scervino show, not only because logistically it was well organized, but because we actually got a seat close enough to truly enjoy the beauty of his pieces. Before I had ever been to my first fashion show, I thought everything worked smoothly and people walked calmly to their seats in a timely manner before the show started…obviously I hadn’t taken “The Devil Wears Prada” movie…

24 Hours Of Milan Fashion Week.
Ciao, fashionistas! Every single day of MFW the crew of BS4F attends fashion shows and presentations, and we usually just write about them independently. However, today it will be different!

We will make a whole fashion trip: start at Kiton, continue to Duvetica, AlbertoGuardiani, and LeSilla, and finish at the Tods re-see.

“Oshadi” = the Essence of Nature
I meet Matteo Capetti at 18.30 in Corso Como. We both come from a long and stressful day at work. As two interns trying to find a balance between work and social life we agree to have a drink at a bar nearby and chat about his capsule show – displaying from the 4th to the 6th of March at Tapis Rouge, Paris. xWe order some fancy alcohol and I apologies because I’m starving and I basically devour the chips that come with our cocktails. I explain him how a mutual friend talked me into meeting him and assured me that this story is worth listening to and writing about, and so…

The Etro Fashion Show
Lightness and loveliness: these are the two charateristics that were showcased last friday at the Etro Fashion Show. A very inspiring 2016 FW Collection in which soft shades of brown, beige, maroon and dark green are combined in such a wonderful way. They recall the true autumn atmosphere, with an extra touch of softness that emits a gentle and easygoing feeling. I found it to be so romantic but also dynamic, with an energy that sweeps all the pieces of the collection. Models on the catwalk wore floral dresses, long skirts, warm over coats all matched with parkas and biker jackets in a very disruptive combination: “classic and casual” is…

How to have a Successful Career in Luxury: Our Talk with one of the CFOs of Hermès Italia
Yesterday, the BS4F team as well as students who demonstrated a keen interest in the field, had the chance to speak to and learn from Steve Trow, the CFO of Hermes in Milan. Having a fairly atypical path to the luxury industry, he offered us insights on what it takes to succeed in not only fashion, but in every professional environment. Here is what we learned from him. Mr. Trow comes from a very modest background stating that his high school was ranked at the bottom 5% of all UK schools. He worked at a supermarket, as a factory worker and as a cleaner to pay off his student…

Fall-ing For Missoni.
Yesterday BS4F was invited to attend the much anticipated Missoni Men’s Fall 2016 show and I must say I was very impressed! Although it was very hectic getting inside – we’re not VIPs just yet… – once we made it past security and the sign in table the stage was set beautifully for the season to be presented.
