Versace’s Post

Love this quote about "investment dressing" that I discuss in my seminars. It's all about being thoughtful and strategic with our clothing choices. Investing in classic pieces that stand the test of time and make us feel incredible is key. Remember, it's not about the labels like Chanel, Prada, or Gucci, but rather the timelessness and quality of the pieces we choose. #styletips #style #dresswithstyle #dressforsuccess #confidence #confidencebuilder #forgottengeneration #4565

In yesterday's video I compared Prada's proportions and Versace's proportions and how these proportions are key to their signature looks and house codes. https://lnkd.in/dtbdryAr #fashiondesign

Earlier this week, Miu Miu reported stellar growth for the first quarter of 2024, with revenues up 89% year-on-year — its biggest hike yet. The brand now makes up over a quarter of Prada Group’s revenues. In 2023, Miu Miu’s revenues were up 58% year-on-year (and its fourth-quarter revenues soared 82%). And in 2022, revenues were up 20%. So the clothes are good — but there’s more to it. Mrs Prada has emphasized Miu Miu’s focus on “youthful energy” in recent years — a rejection of the brand’s former ties to expressly young women. The brand’s AW24 casting hammered this home. Miu Miu’s styling makes people want to buy into the fantasy — even via a single item. The styling and cohesion facilitate the storytelling. I'm sure there's more to it but talk about rejuvenation. What are you thoughts ?

#Milanfashionweek is here. While there is high expectation for the Gucci show by Sabato De Sarno (with the today very common "erase and rewind" approach on Instagram, where all the past posts were cancelled), there are plenty of shows to be intrigued by. - Diesel and its inclusive approach is (or let's say has already) winning the attention of #GenZ, season after season, - Versace is waited by the Fashion Community as the Barbie effect has hit the peak and now, a new mood has entered (and it has to be unveiled). - The King Giorgio Armani, 88 y.o. that season after season enchants the audience and the market. Many are speculating on the future of the company, but as he told in a rare on-screen appearance in the documentary Milano: "The future of the [company] Giorgio Armani is linked to me and I know I am not eternal (...) But my commitment is to manage the company for as long as I have left to live.” - Last but not least: Moncler GENIUS. You will not find the Fashion show on the list, but the much anticipated event with the creative director of Men's fashion for Louis Vuitton. Pharrell Williams will be present in Milan, for an exclusive event in collaboration with ANTONIA. The occasion is the release of the capsule collection that is all-around the concept of #glamping. The influence of Pharrell is touching many fields. To quote Mr. Morale lyrics: "Better known as myself, I'm a demigod. Every thought is creative, sometimes I'm afraid of my open mind". #digitalcommunication #digitalmarketing

Hey guys! I just posted a new blog on the FALL RTW 2024 Miu Miu show. Miuccia Prada took a unique approach to memories and life's journey and created a collection that can be described as a 'memory lane'. Miu Miu challenged the rampant barriers to the orthodox idea of 'dressing your age', and showcased the duality of the meaning of the word, 'girlishness'. DO READ MY BLOG TO KNOW MORE! Thankyou!<3 #blog #fashionwriting

Does Prada know their sunglasses feel cheap? An emblem of luxury, yet their sunglasses are ordinary. This paradox isn't unique to fashion. It's a tale as old as time, even reaching forensics & restoration. Imagine the allure of brand names. In a world captivated by the sheen of labels, the essence of true quality is often overlooked. In a landscape where big brands often dictate the terms, a question arises: what truly defines value? Is it the weight of the name engraved on the product, or the depth of quality that lies within? Where does your allegiance lie? With the allure of names or the pursuit of true value? #TrueValue P.S.: Sold my Nissan Murano (in 2019) and got a cheque. Need a top-up for Prada.

"The way you dress is a reflection of your attitude and your lifestyle." - Gianni Versace These wise words from the legendary fashion icon Gianni Versace resonate deeply. Our clothing choices are not just about covering our bodies, but about expressing our personality, values, and way of life. When you take the time to dress well, you show respect for yourself and others. You exude confidence, positivity, and attention to detail. Your attire can elevate your mood, boost your self-esteem, and even influence how others perceive you. On the other hand, sloppy or careless dressing can convey a lack of effort, laziness, or even a negative attitude. So, let's embrace Gianni Versace's philosophy and dress intentionally! Let our clothing choices reflect our best selves, our values, and our aspirations. Remember, the way you dress is a reflection of your attitude and lifestyle. Make it a good one! #GianniVersace #FashionPhilosophy #DressForSuccess #SelfExpression #ConfidenceBoost #hamidsaeed #imageconsultant

New Year…  Gucci Vault: OUT  Gucci Vintage: IN    That’s right, news just landed that Gucci will be replacing Vault, the fashion houses’ digital, collaboration heavy, slightly weird but wonderful digital platform with the new: Gucci Vintage.    Gucci Vintage will showcase and sell one-of-a-kind reconditioned items, redefined by the House’s artisans. Making way for an endeavour which celebrates the legacy of the iconic, Gucci.    And iconic it is, with some of Gucci’s original designs already selling at auction for figures as high as $150k, it’s clear there is an appreciation for the history of the brand.    Never underestimate legacy.    Some of the brands who have had the most dynamic and impressive years yet (shout out our brand partners Levi Strauss & Co.’s and Timberland, a VF Company!) are leaning on it, knowing that younger consumers DO stop to look back and not just forward. #newyear #vault #vintage #legacy #appreciation

Not a huge fan of the idea, IMO. My general view is that there's a huge wave of cosmetics fatigue. Just look at Ulta and any cosmetic stock. People may buy Hermès for its brand's sake, but they also bought Tom Ford as well. Where there used to be zero sales on luxury cosmetics like Dior, Guerlain, Burberry, and Tom Ford -- now they are always 15% off or more. Granted, the industry has a huge markup, but the macro trend is that people are starting to get sick of makeup influencers and their shilling of products. 😞 With exceptions such as ELF or the Ordinary (before weird drama blew it up), which are doing a great job, though. Affordability and transparent quality ingredients are what I think really appeal to Gen Z these days, and that's the target demo the cosmetics industry needs to start bringing in.
