Giulietta Resort 2013

The Giulietta line just keeps making me a devotee of the brand! Resort 2013 is so exciting that although I just wrote about Giulietta Fall 12, I just couldn't keep their Resort 2013 collection unwraps. The line is charming in every way possible. What first comes to mind when I see the collection is 1920s Art Deco meets 1960's Mod - and the creations are just perfection.

The Resort line has geometric prints, color blocking and sheer panels which add just a demure hint of  sex appeal. The pant suits in the collection have a whim of Katharine Hepburn in where they are bold and masculine, but extremely sensual and appealing. The resort line is completed with the grand piece of the collection; a sweetheart neck dress in black and white with a floor grazing knife pleated skirt. It is one of the most glamourous pieces I have ever come across in a modern day collection.

I love Giulietta!

Purtain Chic - Giulietta Fall 2012

There are many great eras in fashion history; ones that immediately come to mind are the Swinging 60's, the elegant flapper era of the 1920s, and the romantic costumes of the Victorian years; but this impressive Fall 2012 collection by Florence based label Giulietta, has me thinking of another extraordinary fashion worthy period - Purtain Chic.

What Giulietta designer Sofia Sizzi did so cleverly well with this collection was cunningly mixing  pilgrim era staples such as square belt buckles, wide white collars and a color palette of demure chocolate browns and soft sables with on trend color accents of stark white, scarlet reds, icy blues and lime, and pops of peach and canary. The collection transcends time incorporating mod inspired mini dresses, jazz era drop waists, billowy Leg of Mutton Victorian sleeves, and chic contemporary elements such as leather separates. This collection is a brief history lesson on how fashion, when done right, is truly timeless.
