THE NEW FLAMENCO

The Andalusian typical costume, the flamenco dress, traje de gitana or traje de faralaes is the central piece in flamenco fashion. Frills, flounces, ruffles, volants, transparencies and polka dots.. designers are inspired by flamenco dresses and we dance at rhythm of new flamenco.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW LOOK

During the 50's, after the revolutionary New Look created by Christian Dior,  some people disapproved of  this new style  because  the length of the skirts were a retrograde step compared to certain feminist conquests. This conquest allowed women  to be free from wearing  corsets and tight dresses so in turn they started to wear more practical and comfortable clothing.
Despite this disapproval, the New Look is still relevant in todays fashion world and it's always an inspiration for  designers.

THE TRAMONTANO BAG

Since 1865, in Napoli, Tramontano designs and produces bags, luggage and leather goods. The story of the brand Tramontano started in the second half of the last century and is tied to a production both creative and refined.  Creations in natural leather and reptilian skin standing out for the continuous search for ethnic and exotic materials in which the Mediterranean essence is expressed in each detail. The company has developed and evolved becoming a leading brand in the world of quality handicrafts with production of leather and of goods associated with the use of natural hides and hand-made.   Tramontano Arte In 2001, Davide de Blasio, Chairman of Tramontano, started to establish relationships with many international artists who loved the Tramontano’s skills to combine tradition, research, creativity and design. Laurie Anderson, Enzo Cucchi, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Mimmo Paladino, Valerio Adami, Bernardì Roig, Antony and the Johnsons, Lello Esposito, Daniel Canogar, Lou Reed, Doug and Mike Starn, Dionisio Gonzalez. Many collaborations with artists has been produced since then and in 2006, Davide e Rosalba de Blasio decided to give a stable form to this activity and a foundation was born. The Tramontano Arte Foundation, aware of the role that a business reality such as Tramontano can have in supporting the social and cultural development of the territory, works around the creativity process and especially on the link between the traditional handycraft and the contemporary art and design.

YOUR STAIRWAY LIES ON THE WHISPERING WIND

“All fashions are charming, or rather relatively charming, each one being a new striving, more or less well conceived, after beauty, an approximate statement of an ideal, the desire for which constantly teases the unsatisfied human mind.” - Charles Baudelaire

SHINING

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! -(Shine on you crazy diamond-Pink Floyd)

I LOVE THIS SONG

We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? We can't go on together With suspicious minds (suspicious minds) And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds So, if an old friend I know Stops by to say hello Would I still see suspicion in your eyes? Here we go again Asking where I've been You can't see these tears are real I'm crying (Yes I'm crying) We can't go on together With suspicious minds (suspicious minds) And be can't build our dreams On suspicious minds Oh let our love survive Or dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When honey, you know I've never lied to you Mmm yeah, yeah We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Don't you know I'm caught in a trap. (Suspicious Minds -1956)
