Quote of the Day

As a little reminder when getting dressed in the morning:

Do the clothes really make the man?

"I don't believe so, but the right clothes can support you and provide a little silent pep talk when you look in the mirror and like what you see."

Anders Falkirk
Editor DV Man (Swedish Fashion Mag)

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Credits: Mirage Enterprises

One of the reasons we started this blog was to create a space where our clients could get to know us better; get to see our inspiration and from where our fashion sense derives.

That being said, we wanted to mention a store favorite movie: The Talented Mr. Ripley. The movie does get a little dark and mysterious, but the music, actors, and scenery are incredible. Italy becomes a character in the movie and you can develop a strong sense of the inherent differences between the North and South.

Check it out when you get a chance - you will not be disappointed. Andrew at the store and Lewis from Bontoni list it as their favorite "fashiony" movie.

After seeing The Talented Mr. Ripley, you will have to check out Ripley's Game, the sequel starring John Malkovich and our very own Luciano Barbera ...

A Little Sartorial Inspiration for the Day

Italian Philosphy:

Italians believe that one's appearance is a public matter; one's soul is a private affair.

In Italy, even a cab driver will wear a carefully pressed merino wool sweater.
