I love both French Chic and Italian Chic blogs and sites. As someone who grew up speaking French, I explored that first. But my body is more womanly, more Italian fitting. And God knows I've yet to find a sunglasses company as good as Gucci! (and really, when they fit so well, there really reason to look elsewhere.) I think the Italians tend to have a vast variety of fashion really, meaning what you see in trendy Rome is completely different than Milan or Venice. I love it all...England (I love Burberry's more edgy styles), France, Italy, and Spain... they all bring something wonderful to the table!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746233349847124744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-28609368974651906962011-08-03T07:12:30.519-07:002011-08-03T07:12:30.519-07:00The Italian fashion shouldn't be underestimate...The Italian fashion shouldn't be underestimated...

Unfortunately, there is no anonymous way to leave a messages so I can't leave a comment but I thought you might like to hear from a reader regardless. :)<br /> <br />I totally agree with you. In fact, a couple of years ago on the French Chic site, I wrote that if there were an Italian Chic site I would be there in a heartbeat! <br /> <br />I'm originally from Melbourne, Australia, and grew up with a lot of lovely Italian migrants. Because the majority seemed to come from the south of Italy my view of Italian women was that they were little and round and always wore dumpy black clothes. So I was quite shocked on my first trip to Italy (northern part) when they were elegant, gorgeous people! I really believe the most stylish people in the world are Italians. In fact, when I go to Southbank in Melbourne, I can always spot the Italian tourists a mile away.<br /> <br />Another side story (this is becoming a saga - maybe I wouldn't have been able to fit it all in the comments anyway) is during the Chinese olympics, Sonia Kruger was reporting for Australian breakfast television. Sonia is always gorgeous and a lovely, smiling person as well. I think at the time she must have been in her late 30's, maybe 40. When she walked into the international media cafeteria, the Italian media (men) stood up and applauded her as she walked past! I love this story because it speaks volumes about how much the Italian men appreciate the effort that women put into their appearance. Perhaps if more western men noted how their women looked, maybe more women would make an effort.<br /> <br />Anyway, this is the first post of yours that I have read and really enjoyed it. So I'm off to read the rest of your blog".<br /><br />@Anonymous- thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to send in your detailed comments which really add to this discussion.<br /><br />@Chiara-thank you so much for joining this discussion. I so agree with you, there is "bad taste" everywhere ;-)<br />I think it's as you so rightly say, Italian women have the courage to "push the envelope" when it comes to fashion.Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-85750066762637028302011-06-14T23:53:52.396-07:002011-06-14T23:53:52.396-07:00(New reader here, I came from Cupcake Caramel...)
...(New reader here, I came from Cupcake Caramel...)<br />I think you can find bad taste in both countries - I was in Paris last Oct and in some cases I was less than impressed.<br />But in any cases, I'd agree italian women show more "courage" - even if the results sometimes are questionable.<br />And it's not we don't like classics, I think what sets us apart is some dose of unexpected. My boss yesterday wore a white blazer with big black round decorations (not dots). It was very unusual, and I am not sure I'd ever have bought such blaser. But the ensemble was really pleasant to the eye.<br />Just an example, but I think it conveys the idea...chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154652240740999928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-62067520998595345132011-06-13T18:16:24.000-07:002011-06-13T18:16:24.000-07:00What a fabulous post, Vanessa.

My favorite foreign movie of all time is "Bread and Tulips". My favorite classic movie is "Houseboat". One features Italian women dressed in all kinds of ensembles; the other features THE Italian icon of our day--how Sophia Loren portrays an Italian woman, very aware of her sexual/feminine appeal through her dress and actions is inspiring. <br /><br />Maybe it just comes down to a European thing?? The overall look is just so different from what I see here in the States--many of the European cultures embrace individuality rather than cookie cutter looks. Just my humble opinion...<br /><br />xxBlissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-50693000436776451872011-06-13T05:09:02.380-07:002011-06-13T05:09:02.380-07:00(This is a comment from the lovely Fiona, who blog...(This is a comment from the lovely Fiona, who blogger refuses to let comment on this blog :-(<br /><br />"What a fabulous post Vanessa. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've said, including the reason why there aren't many 'Italian Chic' books written. The first picture you chose is stunning, and the purple shoes just set her look off. What I remember <br />from my two nights in Roma a decade ago is the sheer glamour and style of women (and men), even just out strolling around during the day. I don't know why we persist with the French thing either, but whenever I have the ideal me in my mind, she's always in Paris.
