Leave it to Venezia, Italia to bring out inner fashion confidence. English actress Rosamund Pike strolled the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival yesterday in a gorgeous Prada bell-shaped tiered dress, joining the best dressed club in our books along with Kiera Knightley at the Atonement premiere.
Best italy fashion show
Vogue Italia Cover February 2007
Vogue Italia Cover February 2007While writing the post about the best fashion moments of 2007, I couldn't choose an editorial as the best editorial of the year. I liked too many ones, and they were very similar. That happens a lot, usually all the things we like are very similar. But then a picture of Sasha Pivovarova dressed as a captain came to my mind. I loved that photo when I saw it in the february issue of Vogue Italia.
I didn't like so much the rest of the pics the first time I looked at them in the magazine. But I decided to choose that editorial as the best one of the year. Because it shows the change in the fashion world. Millions of blogs, facebooks, myspaces, webs, forums, watching videos on youtube, the possibility of seeing a fashion show online the same day it has taken place. Who said fashion was just for some privileged people?. In some months the "it" dress appears in thousands of magazines, but celebrities all over the world have already worn it. The new wave of photographers, models (even with a new characteristic "alien beauty", for those models with a singular beauty, uncommonly appreciated), stylists, well, those called artists. And not all of them are considered artists. That's the big deal, in my opinion. Who can objectly state that the Louis Vuitton handbags by Marc Jacobs are art?, or Terry Richardson's photography?, and what about the last Art Issue of W? was that art?
Anybody with a camera, a brush, or a musical instrument can be an artist nowadays, can't they? If we like their art is another thing.

Everyone who is anyone already knows that all of fashion and all of the fashion industry center around Thus, if you want to join with this elite group, you really need to be at your very best. Second rate fashion design and inability to think on your feet will get you destroyed because this is indeed a very cutthroat kind of business that you are trying and hoping to venture into.
