Dear Shaded Viewers,
I was impressed with Calogero Di Natale's collection when I discovered it during the last edition of Showroom Belgium in Paris. The Belgian designer launched his accessory line in July 2011 and his pieces are both sensual and sophisticated. I love his leather bags, which feature innovative details and unusual treatments. He used laceration in an unexpected way this season, giving some edge to geometric and minimalist styles. He also designs striking woolen stoles, which are available in three different lengths.
Best,
Philippe
