1. Bottega Veneta was all about easy luxury today at their spring 2015 show, but it was **Jessica Stam’**s look—a creamy-white button-down shirt under a robin’s-egg-blue windbreaker, khaki-style pants, and sneakers—that was both a pair of bad glasses away from being suburban-Dad style and a truly elevated take on the #normcore movement.
- Nestled into a nondescript street corner in Isola (Milan’s rapidly gentrifying and entirely groovy secret treasure of a neighborhood) is Numero 9, a chic retreat for those looking for bouquets, bulbs, and a brief respite from the busy onslaught of shows.
- Bulgari is celebrating their 130th anniversary in style. The brand has pulled out all the stops on their intensely covetable collection of arm candy—new handbags with cabochon closures inspired by their Diva collection of jewelry.
- Vivetta’s endlessly charming new collection was winning on many counts, but it was the brocades—quickly becoming a spring 2015 trend and, here, kicky and youthful—that won us over.
- Emilio Pucci’s show was full of surprises, from the Bob Dylan T-shirt that Peter Dundas took his bow in (endearing!) to a runway full of serious model talent. But it was the effortless blending of the iconic Naomi Campbell (!) into the lineup (rather than a showy start or finish position) that won our hearts.
