NEW EMPORIO ARMANI CAMPAIGN

Jun 25, 2022 | FASHION, ISN'T IT IRONIC?, WHO CARES

New Emporio Armani fall winter 2022-2023 campaign: have I already said I like King Giorgio? Claro que si!

Have I already posted an Emporio Armani fashion show? Claro que si!

And it is also clear that I have a particular fondness for Armani‘s gray tones and its unmistakable timeless lines, just like the cut of the pants that open this video

These images immediately made me think of one of the sequences I have loved since I was a child

How do you see yourself?

Do you have a four-legged friend who looks like you?

How did you meet each other?

Do you also walk symbiotically?

Photographer Gerrad Gethings, who specializes in such portraits, has published a series of shots centered on this very concept.

A BBC article describes this phenomenon called canine mini-me based on studies by Professor Michael Roy.

Forty-five dogs and their owners were photographed separately and judges were shown one owner, that owner’s dog, and another dog, with the task of choosing the true match. The results were consistent with a selection report: observers were only able to match purebred dogs to their owners, and there was no relationship between the ability to match a person with his or her pet and the length of time they had lived together. The ability to match people and pets did not appear to be based on any simple matching of traits (e.g., size or hairiness). The results suggest that when people choose a pet, they look for one that, on some level, looks like them, and when they get a purebred, they get what they want.

What are your thoughts on this?

Among the main characters in the Emporio Armani video is a German dachshund, like our Rocky: my parents adopted him because the “human” he was living with wanted to get rid of him.

Rocky was afraid to do what was his “job” that is, to get into dens, and for that reason he was beaten.

Unfortunately, he was forever left with an extreme distrust of people, but with us he was very sweet.

Here, maybe I could say that shades of gray are only beautiful when it comes to clothing, what do you say?

MY FIRST PRODUCT TO TEST

Apr 23, 2021 | WHO CARES, WHO CARES

My first product to try is a muesli with chocolate, a GOOD start I can say.

Generally associated with breakfast, a bit like coffee after all.

In the morning, are you the type of coffee on the go or do you rather take the time for a healthy sitting breakfast? I talk about “sitting” because considering some levels of lethargic sleep in the morning, knowing how to get up on time is not for everyone …

We could therefore divide into different types:

Fantozzi category: mentholated toothpaste on coffee flavor

or, on the contrary, all focused on extemporization

off course it also depends on the amount of hunger

or … on the rule “no carbohydrates” Miranda‘s style

alternatively: keep fit but doing sport

however it depends on the time available

So let’s go back a bit to the starting point: how long before do you get up? How many times do you postpone the alarm clock? Can you sit down to have breakfast before rushing to meet your day, or is it your day catching up with you while you are still in the r.e.m. phase?

In your opinion is it just a matter of organization or is it more a matter of attitude?

In any case, I suppose you will agree that, beyond all, the classic is timeless … at Tiffany‘s
