A Celebration of Friendship

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A holiday in Tuscany for a special occasion


We spent a weekend in Lucca, immersed in its charm and history, with a beautiful celebration of friendship that will stay with us forever. Frank, our dearest Norwegian friend, invited us to celebrate his birthday party, and it was a special one since he turned 70.

Specifically, we stayed some days at Villa Adriano in Borgo a Mozzano, Tuscany. That is one of the most welcoming villas we ever saw; surrounded by abundant green nature, a wonderful view and silence. The rooms, decorated with pieces picked from different places but harmoniously blended together, are an invitation to stay. Also, the pool with its gazebo and bar is so marvellous. That’s the perfect place to savour a slow lifestyle.

And so first, a pool birthday party on Friday encouraged connections with people from Europe to the Middle East. Of course, we wore our summer outfits: the open-back white cotton apron dress for Ro and the fuchsia v-neck one-piece swimsuit with a turquoise silk maxi skirt for Cri. So we enjoyed a lovely day chatting and dancing till evening.

The official party was the following day, Saturday. The location – Palazzo Pfanner, along the ancient Walls of Lucca, which per se is stunning, was beautifully decorated for the occasion. A full-white setting for candles, roses, and a big table with suspended chandeliers. Cri opted for a coral red silk maxi gown, wide v-neck gathered top, plus a contrasting purple bow belt. An asymmetric nude pink double layered silk top paired with a lavender maxi skirt for Ro.

The atmosphere was elegant but not snobbish. However, more than a birthday party, it was a genuine celebration of friendship, togetherness and love.

Celebrating friendship & values


In fact, inclusion, respect, and kindness are some of the core values that Frank promotes. These fundamental principles bridge different cultures, fostering an open and positive attitude toward others. And that is truly inspiring!

By the way, we share these values. More importantly, they serve as a strong foundation for driving change and making the world a better place.

Thank you, Frank!

First post of the year


2022
First post of the new year.
The eighth month in this online adventure.

Tiny breadcrumbs scattered around.
Subtle traces meant for those with a discerning eye. Diverse explorations crafted for people like us, people who care.

If words resonate with you, you’ll feel comfortable with us.
Indeed, no obsessive marketing will draw you in. An intentional and conscious choice is your response. It’s a matter of evolution because you’re on the same page.

Due to an unforeseen event, we have shifted to the online world. It’s a resilient response to a life-changing occurrence.
However, the easiest solution would have been a quick fix. No concepts to explore, no food for thought. Just mass-market clothing, from top brands to fast fashion. Easy to sell and make money. The status quo never dies.

Perhaps we are crazy for undertaking the opposing direction. We believe fashion is not about being frivolous but a way to inspire and make a change. So, the idea is to provoke a cultural shift. Change for the better is our commitment. It’s an engaging journey that takes time, a long-haul path. But too much effort goes unnoticed by the majority.

And that’s why you are not part of that majority. Indeed, you’ve read this far. So, you don’t stop at titles but seek deeper understanding till the very end.

Values and consistency drive your lifestyle choices. As a result, you don’t buy just anything. No overconsumption. You are selective.

If style and values don’t align, our connection is unlikely to last. And that’s perfectly fine. What we do isn’t for everyone. We don’t need a large audience.

We need the right people along with us.
And for you, we’ll continue to search for unique pieces, worthwhile designers. And we’ll bring our vision of fashion, lifestyle and societyto life by celebrating the value of rarity.

2022! Agents of change, this is for you #formodernhumans
We are proud to serve you again this year!

The Wake-up Call

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Lifestyle is constantly evolving.
It’s not about hectic fashion anymore, that time is over.
We learned the lesson, so we are evolving towards a new era based on consciousness.
The pandemic is our wake-up call. Pollution, climate change, social issues, racism, our behaviour of the past led us here. Now, we must think about what kind of world we want.

Fashion as a reflection of who we are must be involved in the lifestyle evolution process. It’s about understanding the core values, so, as a consequence, we search for a design that fits our new vision.
Creativity takes time to express itself, manufacturing quality items takes time. Trust takes time too.
No need to hurry, not anymore. Slow is ok. Indeed, the process of consciousness takes time.

So, after the wake-up call, what we are doing is working toward change for the better.
But don’t underestimate small changes. Even modest changes in our lifestyle can have a significant impact.

Every choice we make, from what we wear to how we consume, contributes to this transformation. Awareness is the first step, but action is what truly drives change. Both collective effort and individual responsibility shape our future.

2021 is our blank page. Reset and restart with us.

Sharing Ideas

Amplifying connections, inspiring change


Sharing ideas is what we do. Ideas are powerful. Sharing our thoughts makes the energy greater.

Sharing is at the heart of our community. Believing in the possibility of inspiring each other, cross-pollinating, is the real precious benefit of our interactions. It is about being open to a growth process that enriches us, broadening our visions.
Hearing our interconnection elevates the sense of community. A group of like-minded people, focusing on specific values: inclusion, diversity, ethical work, kindness, respect.

Fashion is the door that lets us in, connects us, knowing that we don’t stop at a superficial level. We enter from that door to find a common ground, but then we dig deeper into our culture and lifestyle.
Together, we facilitate an ecosystem where we develop beauty, empathy, value. We connect, we come together to make things better.

Through conversation and exchange, we challenge perspectives, spark new ideas, and push boundaries, fostering a culture of innovation and understanding. This dynamic flow of inspiration fuels our collective growth, making each interaction more meaningful and impactful. At its core, it’s about meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and the power of shared growth within a vibrant community.

We invite you to join our community by sharing your ideas and thoughts with us!

Evolution and Lifestyle

Redefining how we live and dress in a changing world


Society is constantly evolving; our lifestyle is directly connected to this, along with the way we dress. Society and lifestyle reflect this ongoing transformation, an evolution.

Since a disruptive change is forcing us to a new scenario, we feel an urgent need to find a more meaningful way to live our life. This means adopting an essential approach, rooted in a sense of authenticity and simplicity.

It’s about letting go of excess, honouring nature and all living beings, and embracing empathy as a guiding principle. By slowing down and reflecting on our choices, we are evolving. Both individually and collectively.

These values shape a progressive society, one that prioritises purpose over consumption and connection over convenience.  Evolution – this is the essence of a society and lifestyle #formodernhumans

This shift begins with awareness, the first step, but requires action. In fact, every choice we make — how we live, dress, and consume —contributes to shaping a more thoughtful, connected world. So, it’s about prioritising quality over excess, responsibility over impulse. When we embrace this mindset, we become active participants in change, not just observers.

This is the future. Are you part of it?
