Dear Shaded Viewers,

 It was almost like that scene in The Great Beauty, when Ramona and Jep are taken on a tour of secret places in Rome by the mysterious man who holds all the keys to the hidden palazzos and gardens. Fuzzy with jet-lag, I was delighted when me and the rest of the fashion pack passed through the front gates of the Villa Giulia. Built by Pope Julius III, a highly literate connoisseur of the arts, in 1551 - 1553 on what was then the edge of the city, the villa is one of the most delicate examples of Mannerist architecture.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Last week I was once again in Rome to cover Alta Roma and the first show I attended was Sarli Couture, designed by Rocco Palermo. The muse of this collection is "blonde girl" (Jane Birkin's part in Antonioni's Blow-Up), as well as "imperfect models of femininity," such as Kate Moss and Edie Campbell. "A passionate reinterpretation dedicated to this type of woman, who became a symbol of independence and freedom in her bearing and behavior," writes the designer.

Dear Shaded viewers, my  long awaited interview with the incredible man of style, actor, designer and adventurer Waris Ahluwalia  of " House of Waris" is finally here and I am ecstatic to share  it.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

While in Rome last week for Altaroma I discovered the Alieni collection made from disgarded buttons, portions of belts, shoes, bags and dresses. Each piece is one of a kind and is given a name of an alien and the planet that they came from. The designer feels that by doing this she is giving a certain energy to the person that chooses their particular alien.

Later,

Diane
