Outfit Post : Pink Flamingos at Alta Roma and Giada Curti

Last Saturday in Rome, as Ferramoda Malta’s stylist and representative, I attended the Giada Curti fashion show at AltaRoma. It took place at the Hotel Excelsior on Via Veneto in the grand ballroom, a truly beautiful and stunning room that really fit the concept of these luxurious intricate pieces and Arabic theme. Giada Curti’s designs are heavily influenced by the beauty of Dubai and the Arabian landscapes and fashion style.

The capsule haute couture collection was titled Shukran, thank you in Arabic. She presented long dresses made with luxurious materials such as satin, chantilly lace, muslin and silk and draped to flow and skim across the body. . The colours of the pieces were muted and dreamy, in a reference to the Dubai desert landscape.
Beautiful turbans with intricate detailing were worn by each of the models and added to the exotic feeling the show evoked.

Before this show, I also attended an exhibition (more on that to come) so I was out quite early on and as such needed an outfit that would work for both. I decided to wear a knitted dress I had purchased a couple of years previously from an Italian independent designer Ilaria, her brand is called Flamingo Therapy. Funnily enough, I had found her in London at Old Spitalfields Market….she has some truly wonderful stuff. I also took my brand new vintage Chanel earrings (bought in Rome) out for their frist outing, they were very appreciative 🙂

These shoes from Zara are one of my best 204 purchases, I’ve been wearing them a LOT, simply because they are really comfortable and easy to walk on.
