Music Muse: Florence + The Machine

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Riding the subway this morning blasting’ Dog Days are Over in the buds, chills overtook my body. I’ve heard it a thousand times before, and the Machine still gets me. The thunderous voice of Florence Welch is backed by a personality, a powerful direction that shows just as strongly through her clothes. With yesterday’s release of her new single No Light, No Light with new remixes, we’re loving Florence + The Machine even more. And thus have found 20 images of Florence looking impecable. 

Make a Birthday Wish, Maybe You’ll Get a Museum

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

When you turn 90 years old, why not do something nice for yourself? And by nice I mean open a museum in your name in the center of town. Gucci obviously thought this was a swell idea also, as the house just unveiled Gucci Museo in the heart of Firenze, Piazza della Signora. The “dynamic, never nostalgic” space will stand not only as a tribute to its namesake house, but as a homage to the city of Florence as well.

Putting on the Ritz With Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Gucci has multiple grounds for celebration. The iconic Italian house is celebrating its 90th birthday this year and just entered into a three year partnership with The Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Museum. Last night, in the treehouse-like loft of Cipriani Downtown, Gucci presented its latest jewelry and timepiece collections, including the exclusive pieces designed especially for the GRAMMYs. While the best Bellinis in town were passed around the room, I got a chance to learn about all of the chic accessory collections on display and the stories behind them.

Far away from Milan, even far away from the city of Florence. I was pleasantly surprised to find a stylish boutique in the tiny town of Panzano in Chianti. This sleepy village was mostly famous for it’s butcher and agricultural history…Not fashion.
I walked into the chic space of Verso X Verso, a store that sold custom and handmade shoes on one side. The other side had a small, exquisite collection of sculpted women’s clothes. Each jacket, skirt and top were meticulously pieced. The silhouettes were very flattering to the curves.
The woman behind this hidden pocket of glamor was Karina Wollinsky. She started her career in economics, but came back to her dream of fashion design after studying at the Florence School for Fashion.
The designer has a clear passion for her work. Touching the shoes and seeing the clothes, you appreciate her eye for detail too. She can be contacted at info@versoxverso.com
