Hazelnut - A spicy summer

June 20, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Pantone has included Hazelnut in one of the top colours for 2017. From the most classic shades of beige and camel to sand and ocher. Hazelnut is a neutral and elegant colour, reminding us the warm wind of the desert and the aromas of raisin, cinammon, ginger and honey.

Daniele Ancarani, Lola Cruz and Chie Mihara are some of the brands we sell in our boutique Domizioli.

Hallo Sunshine

June 6, 2017 Stefano Casarola

The mirrored style is an undisputed trend for the SS17 season. In all the fashion shows, from Milan to Paris, light-reflecting textures have been presented. Also the surfaces of shoes and sandals are sprinkled with gold, silver, bronze and pink dust for a shiny and metallic effect.

"Pink: it was love at first sight"

May 23, 2017 Stefano Casarola

This spring summer season the pink colour must find a place in women’s wardorobe. It has been proposed in every shade. From bold and vibrant pink, which can have the same sensuality of red without being too aggressive and reminds us Barbie’s world, bubble gum and candies, to powder and softer pink, usually associated with tenderness and romanticism.

Then, when meeting the salmon nuance, the powder pink transforms itself in what the Pantone’s Spring Summer 2017 Color Report has called “Pale Dogwood”, a delicate and rifined colour with a drop of gold inside, very sophisticated, which transmits purity and innocence, perfect to mix with silver, platinum and ivory tones.

The trend of mules now involves also sneakers. They mantains the same style of the closed versions but open in the heel. So easy to wear...put them on and go!

Flat Mules

April 17, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Comfortable and versatile, flat mules can be in leather or velvet, with fringes or buckles, even in raffia like those proposed by Clergerie. You can wear them all day long. They can fit well with skinny, boyfriend and high rise jeans, cropped and capri pants, long skirts and long dresses.

High Heels Mules

April 11, 2017 Stefano Casarola

We have already seen mules this winter, embroidered or lined with fur. They continue to be appreciated by trendsetters and all the most important designers have proposed them in their collections. In fact, you can find different kinds of what we called “sabot”. The high heel versions are more formal and elegant even though those chunky can fit well with a pair of jeans too.

Mid Heel...finally!

April 3, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Mid chunky heels have been proposed in all the major brand collections, giving you the chance to be comfortable and elegant at the same time, all day long. This will be a must for the 2017 summer season too.

Back to Texas

February 28, 2017 Stefano Casarola

In my opinion texan boots will be one of the main trends of the next two seasons. This winter some good examples were already produced and proposed by some brands. Just right for a concert or for going out in the evening they always give a rock touch to the outfit, even more if combined with star prints or star applications.

A Velvet Touch

February 14, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Velvet for pumps or chunky heel sandals are another important trend. Being more sophisticated and delicate, they are better for formal occasions. You can play with colours or embellishments like pearls or baroque brocade.

Over the knee boots

January 24, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Over the knee boots need to be present in your winter wardrobe. You can choose them with mid or high heel, in suede or in leather, stretch or not. Black is the dominant colour but mid brown, taupe or burgundy suede are interesting too. With or without laces on top, depending on how much you want to look like a musketeer.

Menswear Inspirations

January 17, 2017 Stefano Casarola

Menswear inspired shoes like loafers and Oxfords continue in the mainstream. Buckles and fringes are popular again: for a masculine and more relaxed outfit with a feminine touch.
