Sunday night, 18:50. Non-stop rain. Destination: the Missoni AW 16 women’s fashion show in Lambrate, set to start at 19:00. I rushed to get in a taxi from Duomo to arrive on time. As the actual time a show starts is usually at least half an hour past the invitation time, I assumed I would be fine. My taxi driver assured me it was just a 20 minute drive, so I decided to relax and sit back. Wondering about the upcoming show and what I could expect, I suddenly noticed it was already 19:10. Looking outside the car window, I didn’t see any sign of the Lambrate area. Instead, we were stuck in a…

Beauty at MFW: Ermanno Scervino
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…

“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…

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.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Vaniday.
When I moved to Milan, I strove for finding a decent beauty salon at a student-pocket price. Moreover, when I detected the one I perceived as a good trade-off, getting a slot in their appointments agenda seemed incredibly hard. Some weeks ago, I decided to download Vaniday, the new booking service for wellness and beauty services, and this is what I found out.

Decoded Fashion
This time last week some of the BS4F members and I were fortunate enough to be invited to attend Decoded Fashion, a two day long conference focusingon digital and technological advances in the fashion world. Although my first time attending the conference myself, it was the conference’s third time in Milan, having also being held in New York, Tokyo and London. We were welcomed at the beautiful Hotel Magna Pars where we had the chance to network with people ranging from the digital, marketing and fashion fields from brands coming from all over the world. For me, someone coming from the fashion world and having no prior knowledge of digital…
