Stand atop a building in Rome, shout "I'm
looking for a designer," and how many people
will yell back? The streets are flooded with
them. Renowned designers such as Giorgio Armani,
FENDI, and Salvatore Ferragamo lead the masses
in this historic city. Attention to the finer
details--such as fabric textures and graceful
lines--give them the edge. Italy has always
been home to the world's great designers, and
now she is boldly taking her place at the forefront
of fashion.
Italy has been pushed aside in our frantic
search for the latest in British and American
fashion magazines. Search deeper for where
true style lies, and you'll find that it is
in the quality and feel of Italian designs.
British styles have dominated, American styles
are innovative, and French styles receive
accolades for their gracefulness. The spirit
of Italian style is in the quality of the
fabrics and the designs. For Taiwan's fashion
news in Fashion People, getting to know Italian
style is to enter the heart of fashion.
I was introduced to some Italian designers
three years ago at a photo shoot for a fashion
catalogue. I dutifully tried on every article
of clothing. Then everything changed when
I asked the brands coordinator, "Where
do these luxurious fabrics come from?"
I found to my surprise that all these treasures
originated from Italy.
Uniquely Italian pieces are worth a personal
investment because extraordinary material
is combined with unsurpassed craftsmanship.
A more difficult question is: How do designers
create individual garments from such delicate
material? It's a mystery, but they do it with
flair. Take me to Rome and I'm a believer.
If your next holiday destination is Italy,
you can find the best designer clothing in
the chic boutiques that line the streets of
Rome. Here you'll find the quality, cut, and
craftsmanship that make Italian fashion so
alluring. Experience the feel of Italian design
for yourself, it'll make a believer of you! |
