Tala Raassi - Fashion for freedom
It's an honor to introduce an extremely talented fashion designer and outstanding personality, another proof that fashion is not only about clothes but also an important communication medium. 

Tala Raassi, 27, spent most of her childhood in Iran, a place in which by Western standards the lives of women are severely limited. 
While today most women enjoy the precious right of expressing their identity and individualism through fashion, Tala received 40 lashes as her punishment for wearing a mini skirt in the privacy of a friends' home.
In many places, this simple freedom of self-expression is as distant as another world – women are forced by law to cover their bodies and clothes are simple tools to achieve that purpose. 

Fashion has always captured young Raassi’s imagination, but it is this unfortunate encounter that gave her the purpose that would later bring meaning to her designs. 
In June 2005, Raassi started her own clothing company, Tala Raassi, LLC, and launched her flagship line, Dar Be Dar – which means door-to-door in Farsi.

To Raassi, fashion equals freedom and so Dar Be Dar is more than a clothing line - she seeks to promote freedom of expression for women through sensual apparel that accentuates and celebrates the female body.

Dar Be Dar Swimwear has been chosen as official swimwear sponsor for the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant, a fabulous opportunity to promote Tala's philosophy and cherish women's freedom on a global level.

In love with Cashmere
Everything started with the dream of creating a brand that people not only enjoy wearing, but one which evokes feelings of tenderness, passion and rareness. 

Esra Bezek, the creator of "Cashmere In Love", is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design for Fashion Marketing. Prior to attending Parsons, Esra had a career in advertising and graphic design. 
In addition to her valuable course work with eminent Parsons Professors, while in New York, she worked with a number of successful brands and showrooms, including Ellen Tracey. 
When Esra’s deep interest in color and shapes found a medium in cashmere, her passion to create her own brand was the spark which led to "Cashmere In Love".
She gathered around her a team of young energetic artists who are responsible for the entire process, from initial design all the way through manufacture and sale.

REVIEW MILAN MEN'S FASHION WEEK - SPRING/SUMMER 2011
HOGAN
presented the Spring/Summer 2011 Men's Collection on June 21rst in the Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, PAC, in Milan.
The focus of the collection centered on essential accessories and ready to wear- functional and versatile- distinguished for their laid back elegance and contemporary design, while keeping unique details of great personality. 
The pieces stood out by the use of ultra-light and innovative materials of extraordinary quality.The key piece is the jacket CITY RUSH that you can see on the right.This is Hogan's masterpiece- with its distinctive logo on the collar, it is proposed in a new button-fastening version. Standing out with essential lines and strong and steady cuts, City Rush is realized in different ultra-light fabrics: from delavé nylon and stone washed cotton to the innovative reflex material in optical white. The distinctive marks of the jacket are its double collar with border and logo.

MISSONI
chose the marvelous location of the "Vivaio Riva" in Via Arena 7 for the presentation of its S/S Menswear collection. The mood of the collection was distinguished by a patchwork of color shades and textures that evoked visual and tactile experiences of different cultures that meet in a metropolitan context. Orange, acid green, turquoise, blue, lemon yellow, grass green, black or brown underline the classic neutrality of beige or sand for a collection which draws its inspiration from one's leisure time. And you can breath this mood in every single outfit which is composed by different layers that invite to compose and decompose your dress according to your current humor. 

FAY
Fay's S/S 2011 Menswear collection is dedicated to the travelers, explores and reporters among us. Men who don't think twice about taking off to foreign lands and who need practical, wearable garments with a lightweight, functional look. Their perfect travel companions are made of cotton in natural, dusty colors. 
The SPEEDRACER is the key piece of the collection and is inspired by the world of bikers. It is a young and aggressive garment, designed for the "high speeds" of daily living. The design is sober, highlighted by stitchings that contrast the large pockets with firm and decisive cuts.
