WE ARE HANDSOME Handmade Swimwear








Nave is an interesting swimwear collection created collaboratively by Oscar & Elvis Swimwear and We Are Handsome. Their ambitious idea was to fuse art, fashion and swimwear - and the result looks really good...

This limited edition collection is fun, cool and different. The swimsuits are handmade, using lycra as a base and printing the material with interesting illustrations and photos, many of which come in an eighties style.

The prints were created using high-density dyes and sublimation techniques. We Are Handsome worked individually on each print to make each piece unique. Take a look at the photos - both the concept and the campaign are fascinating.

STUDDED Style





Stud:
A small ornamental button mounted on a short post for insertion through an eyelet, as on a dress shirt.

You've probably noticed that studs have become an iconic detail this season, they're all over bags, shoes, blazers, trousers... The rock-style detail is everywhere this season, though really it's a timeless classic.

From Marc Jacobs and Chloe to Karl Lagerfeld, Balmain and Giuseppe Zanotti, everyone is falling for studs. Some designers prefer a more chic version, and others go for a coarser style.

Today we're showing you some essential pieces so that you can sport a studded look this season - everything from Balmain and Miu Miu to Alexander McQueen...

CHANEL Shanghai


This month, Chanel is opening an exclusive iconic store in Shanghai. China has become a key market in the luxury fashion industry, and Karl Lagerfeld wanted this store opening to be really special.

Very soon I'll be able to tell you all about the new store. But today I wanted to show you the collection created exclusively by Lagerfeld for the new store in Shanghai.

As you can see, the line features everything from their classic quilted bags in muslin silk and red, which is an essential color in tribute to the Chinese flag.

The brand's iconic tweed jackets come in red and gold. We love their printed muslin silk stoles and their multicolored imitation tweed jackets.

For him, there are satin trousers and wool blazers with a Mao neck. A total tribute to the country's culture...
