Buon Giorno

Roberto Cavalli aviator sunglasses.

Rome, late September,2007. A group of four young men. Walking down the Via Frattina, probably headed to the Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina. Each the epitome of the Roman aesthetic. Classical, made in Italy quality, killer cut and fit, and big name accessories for an element of Italian bravado. Each wearing a slight variation on Ital Contempo yet Classic Style. Jackets: perfectly fitted, narrow lapel, tapered, two button, double vent. Pants: very slim, very light blue jeans. Shirt: spread collar or Neapolitan button down. Accessories: the latest, large aviator or shield style sunglasses, subtle Dolce or Gucci belt, stainless Rolex or Bvlgari diver. Shoes: gorgeous loafers, one of them in a nod to the Paninaro – yellow suede Timberlands. Attitude and grooming: perfectly shaped jet black hair, lightly citrus scented, head up, shoulders back, Italiano swagger.

Absolutely inspirational. Out of that comes Via la Moda (future name: Buonissimi?), the blog. It's purely notes, thoughts, dashes if you will.
