Collezione di natale

I made a little collection for Christmas. In my opinion all the little princesses can wear them all year round. For winter time you just wear them with a white long sleeved and some leggings or wool tights. I used cheaper materials so the price stays cheaper… If you still need some presents for Christmas let me know now...







I wish I could get all the pictures with the real models... still waiting for my first editorial pictures from Finland.

Qualcosa morbido

I have been making some new baby clothing between other works. I have so many great ideas, but making them takes too much time. Well, little by little…

Valerio Scanu - Mio



Mio
E mi stravolgi il sole
Mi soffochi le nuvole e mi sporchi il cielo
Mani piene di colore
Che facce fa l'amore
Mi prendi a calci i sogni e il cuore
Bocca piena di parole
E ' Mio
Solamente mio il ricordo e l'emozione
Della neve che vien giu fuori stagione
Della pioggia d'estate
E' Mio
Non mi sorridi mai
Lo sguardo scritto in fondo ad un pensiero
Cosa mi vorresti dire
Forse gia lo sai
Ma lo terrai nascosto nelle vene
Un misero ti voglio bene
E' Mio
Solamente mio il ricordo e l'emozione
Della neve che
Vieni giu fuori stagione
Della pioggia d'estate e
E 'Mia
Solamente mia l'idea di perfezione
Delle nostre voci dentro una canzone
Tutto quello che resta
E 'Mio
E tu nell'aria sei
Tra le mie mani
Dentro i respiri
Tra le parole
In tutto quello che resta
E 'Mio

Memorie dell`infanzia

When I was a child I had this book with little elves and my mom used to read it to me when I was younger and later I read it by myself. This little girl that I saw in a store window is exactly like the ones from the animated book… So cute!



I found a description of the book…in Finnish though. Here you can see inside of the book.




Suuri tonttukirja
Poortvliet, Rien - Huygen, Wil


"Tiedättekö että tonttu on kokoonsa nähden seitsemän kertaa vahvempi kuin ihminen? Tai että hänen hajuaistinsa on yhdeksäntoista kertaa herkempi? Tai että tontut hierovat neniään vastakkain tervehtiessään ja hyvästellessään? Tai että tonttupariskunta saa aina kaksoset? Tällaisia ja monia muita viehättäviä tosielämän yksityiskohtia sisältää tämä kirja, ensimmäinen perinpohjainen tietoteos tontuista (jotka on tarkoin erotettava keijuista, kääpiöistä, peikoista ja vuorenpeikoista). Sen on upein värein kuvittanut alankomaalainen taiteilija Rien Poortvliet. Poortvliet ja hänen tiedemiesystävänsä Wil Huygen ovat yli kaksikymmentä vuotta tarkkailleet tonttujen elämää ja toimia, ja heidän tutkimuksensa hälventää täysin kaikki vanhojen laulujen ja tarinoiden ylläpitämät harhaluulot.

Kirjaan on koottu tärkeitä tapahtumia tonttujen historiasta, tietoja heidän tuttavuudestaan Rembrantin ja Mozartin kanssa (hehän elävät 400-vuotiaiksi), heidän kuuluisia urotekojaan jne. Siinä kerrotaan heidän lääkintätaidoistaan, kotiteollisuudestaan, ylen tärkeästä lakistaan ja paljosta muusta.

Tämä kirja on herttainen, runollinen, jännittävä ja hauska. Tietenkin kaikki siinä totena esitetyt tiedot ovat mielikuvituksen tuotetta. Ovela pilke silmänurkassaan on Poortvliet kuvannut tonttuperheitä näiden päivittäisissä – tai oikeastaan öisissä – puuhissa. Tontut eivät näet milloinkaan poistu maanalaisista asunnoistaan päiväsaikaan.

Saamme seurata miten isätonttu herää illalla aamiaiselle ja lähtee sitten keräilemään luonnon antimia tai askaroimaan yhdessä monista työpajoistaan. Usein hän auttaa pulaan joutuneita eläimiä, sillä tontut ovat eläinten hyviä ystäviä. (He ovat ystävällisiä myös ihmisiä kohtaan, vaikka me emme useinkaan huomaa heidän asioihin puuttumistaan.)

Edelleen opimme kuinka tontut rakentavat talonsa, kuinka he menevät naimisiin, lähtevät häämatkalle ja saavat ja kasvattavat lapsia.

Suuri tonttukirja on todellinen silmänilo ja täynnä hauskaa tekstiä. Se on tarkoitettu koko perheelle, kuvakirjaksi pienimmille, vakavasti luettavaksi aikuisille. Ennen muuta se opettaa kunnioittamaan ja ymmärtämään luontoa.

212 värisivua, satoja piirroksia, karttoja, kaavakuvia ym."

Sognando...

I saw this add in one of my fashion magazines and I think that it is just perfect.

(Amore... I do like Bvlgari and Cartier as well.) ;o)

Domenica in centro

Yesterday we went Christmas shopping to Duomo area. I didn`t think that I would find anything, but I am almost done with all the presents. The weather was miserable and the walking streets were packed with people. I don`t like crowds or lines so I will return for the last presents during the week when everybody else is working (hopefully).
Tiffany has a store right in the Duomo and I heard that they pay rent 30 000€ per day to have their store there. Quite a publicity campaign but I guess it is worth it. There was a huge line up to even enter the store.

Aspettando natale

When I had my girls visiting me they brought me something sweet. Now every morning when I wake up I think about them and my vacation ahead in Finland. The milk chocolate isn`t so good for my tummy, but... I guess I just need to suffer.

Primavera con colore

The other week I was assisting a stylist for a photo shooting of an international magazine. I had a great time and met some wonderful people. The day was extremely long and the place where we were shooting was storage of a catering service. It was chilly the whole time. I thought that the place was really cool.



I slightly felt sorry for the model in tiny clothing, but she was professional so we did just fine.






The clothing was from Chanel to Benetton and I can tell that next spring will be full of bright colors. I can post the rest of the pictures later next year.

Qualcosa tenera

Most of the times I buy the fabrics I like and after I design the clothing to match with them... Here I have used wool and cotton for the overall suit and silk and wool for the little girls dress.

Inter-Milan 14.11.2010

The”Derby” in Milan is always a big event. I got spoiled yesterday and got to go to see the game in San Siro. Like always in Milan there was traffic and no parking places. We eventually arrived to the stadium in time, but not into our seats.


Why do I always get the impression that the fans want to burn the stadium?


You could feel that two home town teams were playing. There were lots of fights and the paramedics were on the field pretty much half of the time. I was happy that Milan won… ;o)

This was the first time I wasn`t freezing in the game. I think that I had more clothing on than when it is -28C in Finland

New York Hotel, Rotterdam

New York Hotel is a place worth visiting in Rotterdam. I can recommend their restaurant as well. I hope to return there one day. The hotel is filled with history.
