The style that is never out of fashion

By Angelica Grittani

A meeting with Gigliola Dellera, the designer and the owner of furs brand Dellera, to understand what hides behind the desire of owning a fur and find out what are the new models from the Maison. Gigliola

herself is sure that “fur is eclectic”, and it renews in the style and shape, and plays more and more with women’s desire. The luxury and the elegance of the time past are today highlighted by the metropolitan style of an ever-moving woman; there is the exigency of wearing comfortable items that make you feel fine in every situation. The new Dellera collection presents furs in various colours, from Tiffany azure to blue, browns and beige too. What strikes the most is the ease these furs can be worn with: from the versatility of pieces of clothing like coats, stoles and gilets, to the accessories that give an extra touch of originality and elegance to every look.

Mattia Vismara

A tradition that renews itself: what is the source of inspiration for Dellera’s haute couture items?It is important to look at the past for tradition, but we don’t want fur to become only an item to keep in the wardrobe and to wear for important occasions. For this reason we also look at the present and the biggest source of inspiration is surely fashion that you can see everywhere: every look is allowed, even women that wear sneakers with a fur.Modernity ad luxury: how do these two elements come together in your products?Luxury is given from the kind of material we treat, a material luxurious in itself. For us modernity means to create portable and versatile models, that can be worn in many occasions, like you would do with an anorak or a leather jacket. Fur can be worn with every kind of weather; many may not know that it does not spoil if it wets because of the rain, of course it has to be well dried and not come close to source of warmth, but it can be worn when it rains or snows as well.The quality of the materials and the craftwork production: how can you keep such a high level in the course of time?In order to keep high qualitative standards there is the necessity of keeping the product quality always under control. We have a laboratory in our show-room where we guarantee that furs are perfect before we sell them to our clients. We are a family-run business and we have well-defined jobs: I (Gigliola Dellera, editor’s note) deal with the design, my brother (Andrea Dellera, editor’s note) deals with the commercial sector, leather purchase and selling together with my sister-in-law.

How can people wear a fur from day to night?Our furs are light, versatile and fabulous combined both with a pair of jeans and a dress or a suit. We might think of thirty-year-old women who work and have a family and for this reason are always busy but they can always be elegant and flawless, going to the office with a mink waistcoat or cloak for a night in which they decide to go out for an event or a dinner.How can you meet the needs of your clients?We do not make custom-cut models, I mean following a particular request from the client. We can try to lead the client to choose a model or another, modifying some details and making it closer to their personal taste.

Your collections are meant for young and less young people: what is the reason why women of all ages want one of your furs?First of all, a fur keeps you warm and then allows a look to be more elegant or less elegant, according to what you match it with. It is a piece of clothing always easier to combine. Our furs do not have ages, in other words they adapt to every age: our clients are between 25 and 85 years old. Furthermore, it is possible to do a restyling of used items: after some years many clients come to make the fur remodeled. I have a lot of imagination and I like giving a new look to the fur, which is extremely ductile and suits well to this kind of changes.How important is your brand in selling products not necessarily belonging to your traditional line?Accessories are an important part of our production, because you can play with fur creating low cost impressive accessories as well. There are lapin legwarmers, hats, scarfs, bags: fur can be introduced everywhere and you can have fun designing items with fur. These accessories can be used from season to season, they are never out of fashion.

Thanks to Dellera fur for material allowed.

VITTORIO CAMAIANI

By Emanuela Amy Rossi

His fashion has deep roots in modern and contemporary art. His woman is elegant, practical and original in every occasion.

Here we present you with the evening dresses by Vittorio Camaiani

“Magycal Labyrinth”: a dream in an evening dress

Selena Magni

Vittorio, tell us about your new Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection, it is called “Magical Labyrinth, getting lost, finding again”It is a journey through a labyrinth, where dresses lose their sense and can be worn upside down, sometimes. Geometrical shapes, lines, vortex: what was your inspiration for this new collection?I took inspiration from Escher. After visiting an exhibition in Reggio Emilia, I did as he did with one of his works: I reflected myself in it. That’s how I came up with the idea of the “mirror trousers”, with the front part in chiffon. Then I designed dresses with spirals made of fabric that remind of the painting “The Magic Mirror” and others with spirals of metal and fabric that are inspired by “Bond of union”. It a kind of bridge between fashion and art. With my pencil I re-draw the work so that it can become a dress and I try to give a new life to the canvas, hoping that it all won’t fade away after one season. What are your colours for next winter?A long road of grey that cross smaller roads of chartreuse green, violet, red and turquoise. Let’s talk about evening dresses. In your opinion, what should a woman wear for a special night? My advice is always to dress up as you are. A woman who often wears trousers, should wear a suit for a cocktail, better if lighted up by some crystals. Tell us about your dresses: what makes an elegant dress? What features do your items have?My dresses follow the line of inspiration that I feel in my collection. A cloud in the collection dedicated to René Magritte was the line that ran through the whole collection. My magical labyrinth has turned a dress with a low-cut neckline in a bright beige duchesse thanks to block coloured fabrics that made a labyrinth once sewn together. A dress should never lack a detail that recalls the time of the night and some light.

How long does it take to make an evening dress?A long time. These are the items that take the longest time. What celebrities of the show biz wear your dresses? Lists are always boring and trashy, maybe I can name the last one: Marina Ripa di Meana, who loves my dresses and my hats, too. Just check the last spiral one. Why did you decide to take up the formula “Atelier for one day”?It’s the easiest way to bring the customer closer to the dress, touching and dreaming it together. Rome, Bologna, Spoleto, Asolo, Milan: this year I blended magic with my woman who looks at Escher, who’s embodied by the eclectic Roberto Di Costanzo, who draws. There’s the allure of the old halls and the fashion show in Rome in January and July. A relevant place in your art is occupied by hats, original, peculiar and eccentric. How come this love for hats? How do you get the ideas to create them? Every time my pencil sets out and tries to tell my dream, the peak, the explosion comes from the head, so I dedicate my most magical energy to it. It’s like the frame that encloses the masterpiece. I often think “maybe it’s too much” but then the dream fades away and my mind starts to seek for the vision and it all ends in the marvels that will top special heads… and here are my hats.

WHAT MAKE SHALL I WEAR TONIGHT?

By Valentina Sorrenti

The night is the moment in which you dare the most with the look, but

sometimes we do not have the time to change our office outfit with one more

suitable for the occasion that awaits. In this cases we can rely on make-up. How?

It is very easy: just bring a make-up set in your bag and follow one of these 4

ideas for the night make-up.

?The tips of Vain Stylist

Mattia Vismara

This is the make-up par excellence! The attention is completely focused on the eyes which, enhanced with very emphasized shades, look bigger and

longer.The colours for the smokey eyes are of course those that remind of smoke: black, grey, taupe and brown lighted up with silver, gold, champagne and butter, which are applied in the internal corner of the eye and under the eyebrow arch.With this kind of make-up it is fundamental to have light lips, almost ethereal, by utilizing nude lipsticks or transparent lip-gloss.

Dark Smokey Eyes

Intense Lips

The trend of the moment is to enhance the lips with very important lipsticks and leave the eyes as natural as possible. Red, violet, plum and Bourgogne lipsticks with super glossy fi-

nish to apply only on the central part of the lips.On the eyes it is enough to apply a veil of natural eye-shadow and mascara. For this look we advice to pay attention to the base: when you put on important lipsticks, the face has to be perfect, all the imperfections have to be hidden with foundation cream and concealer.

Cat Eyes

The cat eyes effect is timeless. Just draw a long line of eyeliner that stretched out from the corner of the eye.With this make-up, the choice for the lips

is up to you, nude lipsticks are fine as bright ones.When you do this make-up, pay attention to the symmetry, the tails at the end of the eyes should have the same length and inclination.

COLOR POP

The night is the right moment to dare with co-lours as well, choosing the intense and bright ones, shades that for the day might be a little exaggerated like blue, green and purple.

We can choose strong colours only for the eyes, for the lips or, without exaggerating, to both of them.We have to pay attention to the combination eyes-lips, choosing cold nuances or warm shades only.
