Blue tie. The tribute by Giovanni Gastel to Richard Avedon, for Style Magazine (2010). “Severe” light, off-white background. The models’ action counterposes the solemnity of the tribute of a great photographer to a popular predecessor. The models, like they’re dancing, seem not to care about the mess they create in the clothes: the movements dissolve the severity of a normally impeccable attire as the tuxedo is. Out of the fashion sets, in real life, we can imagine a similar ease choosing a different way of “wearing the evening”: for example, breaking black with blue.

A way to dress that is eccentric but elegant, made of natural colors, velvet and rough fabrics. A tribute to Monet, the gardener painter, in the pictures by Matteo Montanari “painted” by Claudio Cassano. Styling Alessandro Calascibetta.

The opulent but at the same time measured elegance by Caruso enhanced in this b/w picture by Giovanni Squatriti. Styling by Carlo Ortenzi, model Tommy Marr.
