Isabeli Fontana: Today Only Happens Once

InstaBit Isabeli Fontana 9-9-2019

Today is a special day, it will never happen again. Take the opportunity to do something new. Look from another perspective look at the sky, at existence, recognize yourself in each other, give the opportunity to know and understand people in their depths. Go beyond the images and the senses. Don't judge, don't criticize and realize that all of us without exception are looking for something in common.
Everyone does their best, and that is enough let’s hold hands and recognize ourselves as ONE. (Diogo Beltrame)

Hoje é um dia especial, ele nunca mais vai se repetir. Aproveite para fazer algo de novo. Olhe com outra ótica para o céu, para a existência, para a sua vida.

Hoje, reconheça-se no outro, dê a oportunidade de conhecer e compreender as pessoas em suas profundidades. Vá além das imagens e dos sentidos. Não julgue, não critique e perceba que todos nós,
sem exceção, estamos em busca de algo em comum.
Todos fazem o seu melhor, e isso é o suficiente para darmos as mãos e nos reconhecermos como UM. (Diogo Beltrame) .

Jackets For Fall: What to Look Out For

Jackets For Fall: What to Look Out For

As the end of summer nears, it’s time to begrudgingly start putting away the sundresses, crop tops, sandals, sarongs, and floppy hats, and start thinking about fall fashions. Even though the weather may not be screaming fall clothing just yet, and the rolling heatwaves are still keeping everyone in their summer frocks for now, there’s no reason to not get ahead of the curve and start prepping for autumn looks.

It’s time to start embracing the idea of chunkier knits, layering pieces, and fashionable but practical accessories to help fend off the cooler weather. The most important staple piece in your fall wardrobe is your jacket, so if you’re in the market for a new one this season, here are the top trends to look out for when you go shopping.

Vogue Italia September Has Gorgeous Adut Akech + Vilma Sjöberg Covers | Farneti's Words Confuse

Vogue Italia September Has Gorgeous Adut Akech + Vilma Sjölberg Covers | Farneti's Words Confuse

The September 2019 issue of Vogue Italia brings two covers into the world of fashion speak and imagination. "Peace" is the guiding idea of Mert & Marcus’s image of Vilma Sjölberg, while “Couture” inspires Paolo Roversi in his Adut Akech cover.

Also read the texts by Michael Cunningham for the September covers of Vogue Italia signed by Mert & Marcus and Paolo Roversi. Note that this text is taken directly from the Vogue Italia . AOC finds it a tad confusing, as international translation always struggles with s(he) pronouns in Google translator. Reality is that this issue of Vogue Italia is focused on the importance of words, adding a note of irony to this modern word editorial focus. Always looking for the good in a situation, I first attributed the excessive use of ‘he’ to Google translator.

Reading the Vogue Italia website translation of Farneti’s editor’s letter, it seems that the extensive use of ‘he’ is intended., that the male pronoun is dominant, in which case AOC is pretty pissed off. After all, the history of Rome is even worse than the fall of women’s influence and power under the Greeks. Italy put the nail in the proverbial women’s rights coffin.

‘A Portrait | The Michael Kors Mini-Documentary’ by Alison Chernick Makes YouTube Debut

Michael Kors debuts ‘A Portrait | The Michael Kors Mini-Documentary’ on YouTube’s new Fashion and Beauty Vertical

New York documentarian director, Alison Chernick debuted her seven minute mini-film ‘A Portrait | The Michael Kors Mini-Documentary’ about the personal and professional background of designer Michael Kors on Thursday, timed with the launch of YouTube’s new fashion vertical channel.

Encouraging fashion people to smile more, Michael Kors takes us on an upbeat journey through his upbringing in Merrick, Long Island, as the “only child in a family of very, very outspoken women,” he says referring to his mother, aunt and grandmother whose “simple and sporty” style, “bohemian hippy princess” look and “over-the-top glamour,” respectively, prompted his interest in fashion. “When I said I wanted to be a designer there were hosannas around the room,” admits Kors.

Bergdorf Goodman’s fashion director-president, Dawn Mello, is credited with inspiring the launch of Kors’ own label after admiring his age 19 work in a nearby Fifth Avenue fashion boutique Lothar’s. Chernick does a superb job of capturing the grit and glam of 70s New York and the centrality of Michael Kors in that scene.

Bronwyn Cosgrave, writing for THR, reminds readers of what’s left out of the film, necessitated by its short length. Kors isn’t credited sufficiently for transforming Celine into an aspirational brand. There’s no mention of the financial struggles Michael Kors endured until Hong Kong tycoon, Silas Chou, invested in his brand in 2003. (It went public in 2011). The designers work on ‘Project Runway’ is also absent.

In a lovely coincidence with the YouTube debut of the short documentary, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a Michael Kors MICHAEL dress on George and Charlotte’s first day of school.
