01072019 In Naples we took the time to see some crafts outside of menswear - in this case, jewellery. Barbarulo in its modern incarnation is closely associated with menswear.

01102019 A few weeks ago I was in Sorrento in the spectacular Hotel Parco dei Principi to be exact.

01112019 Lucia Pica, looked to her home city of Naples and the ever-changing landscape and history. It provided the mood for colours and techniques that offer a warm and rich approach to sunkissed beauty. The name Neapolis – or ‘New City’ – reflects Naples’ origins as an ancient Greek colony clashing with contemporary lifestyle that Pica reflects in her choice of greens, yellows, golds, reds and blacks.
