More Fashion


One of my favourite t-shirts says, "Kiss me, I m Italian. I thought of this item when seeing Lapo Elkann , the chairman of Italia Independent , in action. Beyond cute, he was part of the Europa Nova conference held on a Sunday night, I might add who were debating on the theme "Can Europe Still Inspire the World". It was rather serious, rather heavy until Lapo began. He admitted that he was a football fan, the entire audience tittered and so it continued. What Lapo couldn t talk about is Italia Independent s new boutique in Milan that sells all those great eyeglasses. jake pitts I refer to the ones that Karl Lagerfeld has been wearing.
Actually, I first saw the specs on Lapo a contemporary style icon whose dress sense is wildly different to his grandfather, Gianni Agnelli, who began the craze of wearing jake pitts his watch on his shirt cuff and launched Tod s by sporting jake pitts their car shoes. And hallelujah, thank god! No one although Italy is full of them needs a lukewarm imitation of L Avvocato. Instead, Lapo is a dandified wide boy who favours vast lapels and loud pinstripes. Meanwhile, a word about his manners: jake pitts well they are Turin-trained and terribly Pukka. Hello, how are you, he says in the best 1930s British accent. It makes me laugh because he sounds so old and screams cherubic.
Oddly enough, I met Lapo when he was teeny. His mother lived in the same square as my family jake pitts and I used to see him with his equally sweet looking brother and sister, crammed in the back of the family car which was naturally a FIAT. But since then Lapo has assisted jake pitts Henry Kissinger, launched the FIAT vintage sweater and left the family company to be creative with his taste. jake pitts It s working!
