VINTAGE DRESS WITH FLARED SLEEVES

During the 40's sleeves go extreme in tiered frill, like sweet bells of flowers. Adrian, the famous costume designer, usually drew dresses with wide flared sleeves, for Joan Crawford to hide her extremely small shoulders. After some years, in the 70's, flared sleeves embellish dresses with simpler silhouettes, for a romantic fashion with a bohémian taste.

Negli anni '50, il bikini non riesce ancora a diventare un fenomeno di moda. In Italia viene ancora considerato scandaloso, così per ordine dell'allora ministro degli interni Scelba, poliziotti in divisa andavano sui lidi a caccia di belle ragazze in due pezzi, metro da sarto alla mano, per controllare che l'altezza degli slip fosse regolamentare.
Dominatore assoluto permane il costume a un pezzo, con gonnellino sul pube di raso Lastex.

In the 50's, the bikini is still unable to become a fashion phenomenon, in Italy it's still considered scandalous, so on the beaches, by the order of Interior Minister Scelba,  uniformed police were hunting for beautiful girls in bikini to check that the height of the slip were regulation.
Absolute ruler remains the one piece swimsuit, with Lastex satin pubic skirt.

Sandali Canfora Capri-dal 1946

Già l'imperatore Tiberio, che scelse di vivere a Capri la sua vecchiaia, indossava sandali con suola di cuoio rigida e nastri di pelle legati alla caviglia. Secoli dopo gli stessi sandali, resi ovviamente più attuali continuano ad essere prodotti da artigiani esperti dell' isola.

Having decided to retire to the island of Capri during his final years, Tiberius Emperor reached the island wearing a pair of heavy-soled with leather straps wrapped around the ankle. Centuries later the same sandals, made ​​obviously more current, continue to be produced by skilled craftsmen of the 'island.
