Hi, guys! The fashion icon of this month is the super model Miranda Kerr, one of the most beautiful women in this planet, a perfect mix of beauty, grace and elegance. Class 1983, Miranda is an australian girl, grown up in the countryside with her grandma who, at age 13 wins a national competition for new faces. since that moment she joins several advertising campaigns and, noticed by several agencies, starts her modeling career.
It was 1926 when, in a day of June, from the sky felt Norma Jeane Mortenson, one of the brightest star the world has ever knew, rare gem of Hollywood's golden age, icon of an era, loved, imitated and idolized by entire generations: the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe. Beautiful and fascinating, elegant in her sensuality, so lively but yet fragile, she enchanted the whole world with her talent, giving to it some of the most iconic movies of cinema history, from Niagara to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, passing by The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot. Her curves and her vulnerability, combined with the innocence of her angelic face, have helped to deliver the myth of Marilyn Monroe to eternity. Her style were so coded that it needs just a few elements to characterize it and make it immediately "hers": red lipstick, black eyeliner, porcelain skin and especially the unmistakeble platinum blonde bob. 52 years after her tragic and mysterious death, her legend is more alive than ever.
Hi, guys! The music icon I chose for this month is a music band that T've recently discovered: the First Aid Kit, the Swedish duo composed by sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg... everything you need to listen if you want to escape from your world for few hours.
Ash-blond hair (sometimes dyed in a sophisticate choccolate brown, for script requirements), green eyes and all the exuberance of a teenager united with an air of a consumed diva. She's Chloe Grace Moretz, fashion icon of this month. Enfant prodige and rising star of new Hollywood movie scene, she became an icon of new horror genre, despite her young age. Only 17 years old, she can boast a resume in no way inferior to that of many other colleagues that counts collaborations with sacred monster of cinema such Martin Scorsese or Tim Burton.
It was 1929 when in a morning of May was born the one who, in a few years, would have been one of the most shining stars of the golden age of Hollywood, source of inspiration for entire generations and my personal muse: the one and only Audrey Hepburn. Still today, in fact, some of her most famous movies - from Sabrina to Roman Holidays, from Sciarada to the unforgettable Breakfast at Tiffany's - remain milestones of cinema history and her style - ladylike, elegant and sophisticated but also fresh and modern, in a certain way, always inimitable. As tribute to this incredible and wonderful timeless icon, a documentary that tells her life, her career, her legend.
Hi guys! The fashion icon of this month is one of the most promising and talented of the moment, required by directors and the most important fashion magazines.

Hi, guys! The protagonist of this month of Music & Fashion is one of singers of recent entries in the list of my favorites. Class 1996, born in New Zealand and spokeswoman of a music style that goes from pop to electro music, passing by indie and alternative rock. I'm talking about Lorde, born Ella Maria Lani Yelich - O'Connor. When I look at her I can't help myself to think to one of my favorite characters ever, the great Daria Mongerdorffer of the MTV's animated series: alternative, cynical and provocative, with that nerd look, surprising irresistible.
Hi, guys! Taking advantage of a relatively lazy day and a fatigue of which I'm prey for days, I decided to take a little break from the daily routine and update my blog. And since I feel particularly inspired, I wheeled out a column I didn't take care of for a while: Odi et Amo. Protagonist of this month, the undisputed queen of trash, master in the art of exceed and provoque and muse of every transgender and no, I'm not talking about Lady Gaga who, however, in term of weirnedd knows her stuff. No, I'm talking about the inimitable, the one and only (thankfully) Anna Dello Russo and her, let's say, "particular" style.

Excuse me if it's not that much!
Hy guys! Exceptionally for this month Fashion Icon of the month and Music & Fashion blend together electing as one big protagonist the explosive and poliedric actress/singer/and now designer Zooey Deschanel. <<Who's that girl? It's Jess!>> That's how reads the opening theme of New Girl,
the tv show in which Zooey plays the role of the sweet and a bit
cockeyed Jessica Day and that consacrated her as new queen of american
television. But let's procead with order...
Class 1980, fringe and deep blue eyes, Emily's little sister (who looks like her less than Katy Perry or Emily Blunt do!), Zooey moves her first steps in the world of entertaiment playing in several videoclips.

Hi guys, happy 2014 to all of you. After a little break for Christmas holydays, we can restart with another appointment with Music & Fashion. Protagonist of this month the beautiful and talented Beyoncé Knowles: successful singer, actress, director, wife, mother, model and business woman, recently elected one of 100 most powerfull women in the world by the the New York Times. A rising star that, after almost 20 years illuminates the international music scene.
The music icon of this month is the true protegonist of the latest edition of MTV's VMA, helded last august in Brooklyn, winner of the award for Video of the Year (for Mirrors), Best Direction and the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Journalist, stylist, tv host and, recently, also fashion designer, our fashion icon of the month is one of the most appreciated style icons by fashionistas, but not only. I'm talking about Louise Roe.
Hy guys, welcome back! These days are crazy... there's so much to do in the newsroom, everyone runs like crazy, I barely have time to breath and I had no time to take care of my baby blog. But I'm back... at least for now! Anyway, let's get serious! The music icon I chose for this month is one of the most interesting voices in the contemporary music scene. She's blonde, with amber skin and a bad girl look. Kosovar anturalized english, she's a true shining star of pop music with a natural diva attitude that lead her to be one of the most photographed stars on red carpet. I'm talking about her, Rita Ora.
A famous italian idiom says that "women dress themselves for women and get undressed for men". Well, this could perfectly be the guiding principle of Leandra Medine, the new protagonist of the section Fashion icon of the month.
By her own admission, she defines herself as a man repeller, a woman who wearing her clothes looks repellent to a man. This is the concept from which Leandra, young newyorker student of journalism, starts when, in 2010, she decides to create her own fashion blog, Manrepeller.com, in which she vents her hilarious reflections about how often fashion confuses, surpises and, sometimes, maybe pushes away men from women. Wearing garments like harem pants, boyfriend jeans and flash jewelry she shows off how they might rise to the role of "chic contraceptives"! The philosphy behind manrepeller.com is to dressing to please yourself because, you know what they say, a true fashonista would never, ever, change the way she dresses just to entice the less sartorially evolved desire of a man...
"I want people to hear my voice and just forget their troubles for five minutes"
(Amy Jade Winehouse)
This month, for the section Music & Fashion, I want to pay tribute to one of the most beautiful voices of last years, a star that shone like few other did and off too early... the music icon of this month is Amy Winehouse.
The fashion icon of this month comes from Russia with love... 32 years old, statuesque body, ice-blue eyes and an inviable class: I'm talking about Ulyana Sergeenko, the most famous russian trend setter of the fashion system.
In collaboration with her friend Yana Raskovalova, she realized a collection of necklaces, earrings, pins and hair accessories with rich materials like gold and precious stones, entirely handmade. Former model, fashionista, stylist and recently fashion designer, Ulyana is a true institution when it comes to fashion.
