What does Italian glamour really mean, though, and is it anything more than a nostalgic myth?
a brand new exhibition opening this week at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London sets out to answer these questions. Names of luxury Italian sports car manufacturers like Ferrari and Maserati certainly conjure a vision of uniquely confident, showy sleekness, just as the names Valentino, Versace, Gucci, and Prada ooze luxury, sensuality and a distinct Italian swagger, a national stereotype, is it just a cliché.s no denying its temic power, There&rsquo.

His critical eye is also ever trained on himself.

All the while, its sacred status among bikers has remained untainted, though for Schott, the two are not incompatible.
While attracting major buzz earlier this year was a HarleyDavidson biker jacket signed by Pope Francis, kate Moss and Yoko Ono figure among current celebrity followers, that sold for $ 77485 in a Bonhams charity auction in Paris.

To simply get married in their best existing outfit, it was common for women not to buy a brand new dress for the occasion. Getting married in pink, light purple, yellowish, light red or any other colour for that matter is nothing new in Western culture, nor particularly irreverent, says Ehrman. Over the centuries, brides who were interested in fashion have often got married in different colours. While altering them over the years to fit in with fashion, or to fit a changing figure, they will wear them many times afterwards.
Lagerfeld likes to move with the times and abhors sartorial sloppiness so, in his twilight years, he favours functionality.
