Bags for Men – A Fashion Revolution
February 20, 2009
It wasn’t very long ago that men were expected to keep everything they needed in their pockets. Keys, wallet, phone: all would have to find a home in a jacket or trouser pocket. The only permitted accessory for work was a uniform briefcase or attaché case, boxy, boring and black or brown. For casual carting around of equipment a sports bag with a sporting logo showed its manly purpose with no style achieved or intended.
Yet in 2009 it now seems that men have almost as much choice as women when it comes to bags: messenger bags, tote bags and there were even some men’s clutches shown on the catwalk by top designers for autumn/winter 2009/2010.

Carnival
February 16, 2009
At the moment Italy and many other European countries are celebrating the Carnival season. This is a very old, popular tradition celebrated by dressing up in costumes and masks. It’s celebrated every year before the beginning of Lent (Lent is the period of 40 days before Easter in the Christian calendar when people do penance or fast to remember the 40 days spent by Jesus in the desert), and usually it occurs between the end of January and middle of February. The most important days are on “Fat Thursday” and “Fat Tuesday”, but every town has its own traditions and in many places there are also celebrations on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The distinctive element is that in this period all jokes are permitted and you have to dress up in costume.
