Moncler annuncia la conclusione della collaborazione con Giambattista Valli e Thom Browne: la primavera/estate 2018 sarà l’ultima stagione delle collezioni Moncler Gamme Rouge e Moncler Gamme Bleu.

«Sono onorato di aver lavorato in questi anni al fianco di creativi dal grande talento come Thom e Giambattista», ha commentato il presidente e amministratore delegato Remo Ruffini, annunciando l’intenzione di volersi concentrare sulle nuove sfide future di Moncler, proprio come Valli e Browne si concentreranno sui propri marchi.

Intanto Remo Ruffini ha ribadito di non avere per ora intenzione di vendere: «Penso che ci sia ancora tantissimo da fare e mi piacerebbe portare a termine i progetti che ho in testa», ha affermato in un’intervista pubblicata oggi sul Corriere della Sera.

Nel lungo botta e risposta con la giornalista Maria Siliva Sacchi, Remo Ruffini racconta some si evolverà la distribuzione e si dice convinto che il negozio fisico resisterà: «Perché l’esperienza è fondamentale, poi non so in che percentuale sarà più fisico o più digitale ma per Moncler il negozio sarà sempre un punto importante».

 «Piuttosto – prosegue – c’è un forte aiuto dall’e-commerce per far conoscere meglio la marca e avvicinare il consumatore in modo più confidente al negozio fisico».

Quanto all’andamento dei mercati, «bene la Cina, anche se è molto volatile, sta tornando a essere quello che era qualche anno fa. Il mercato che vedo più complesso è quello americano, ma la sorpresa è l’Italia: dopo Expo è nato un Paese nuovo».

Jayne Mansfield, corsa folle nella Hollywood maledetta

November 13, 2017 Leave a comment

Jayne Mansfield-w900-h900

La corsa folle di una bellissima contro il tempo e il dolore della vita può apparirci come misterica. Questa bionda incredibilmente Hollywoodiana morì completamente sfigurata. Da allora, i camionisti americani hanno l’obbligo di collocare sotto il telaio una sbarra d’acciaio antincastro, che chiamano Mansfield Bar. La morte di Jayne Mansfield è servita a salvare altre persone sicuramente. Della Mansfied Bar beneficiano altri, forse meno vistosi o meno intelligenti, meno intraprendenti e sicuramente meno sovraesposti che si accontentano di una villetta e di un pomeriggio al centro commerciale ma che sognano Hollywood. L’infernale e divertente insieme Valle delle bambole dove Jayne la conoscevano e oggi la ricordano tutti.

In un afoso giugno del 1967, un trattore stava viaggiando per le campagne intorno a New Orleans spruzzando pesticida. Il vapore derivato dal pesticida che irrorava avvolse la strada con una fuoriuscita di fumo. Il fumo nero avvolse tutto nel suo senso più simbolico. Un camion con rimorchio, che spuntò oltre la curva, e sprofondò in quella nebbia scura e dovette inchiodare violentemente per fermarsi. Sopraggiungeva ad alta velocità un’auto, che non potè frenare. L’urto violento della macchina, una Buick blu, fece si che il veicolo si infilò sotto il rimorchio e si aprì come una scatola.

Nella autovettura erano stipati tre adulti e tre bambini. I bambini sopravvissero, anche se feriti. I grandi perirono. Morì l’autista, morì un avvocato e morì una giovane donna molto vistosa e ossigenata. Aveva 34 anni. E il suo nome era: Jayne… Jayne Mansfield. Un’icona. Una sex bomb incontrollabile.

Jayne era bionda platino, labbra carnose , grandi occhi da cerbiatta, naso cesellato. Aveva un corpo invitante e paradossale , con un giropetto di oltre 100 centimetri e un vitino incredibilmente sottile. Forse poteva aver dato fastidio alla carriera alla più minuta collega Marilyn negli anni Cinquanta, ma la rivale leggenda la Monroe, era morta nel 1962 a 36 anni. Jayne ormai era solo una fotocopia involgarita e inquietante. La carriera partì promettente con delle partecipazioni cinematografica di tutto rilievo, accanto a Dean Martin, Cary Grant ,Tony Randall per poi passare rapidamente alla serie B persino accanto a Franchi e Ingrassia in Italia. Jayne era ribelle con i produttori: aveva una personalità supponente, beveva, forse si drogava, collezionava uomini(ebbe cinque figli da tre uomini diversi). All’epoca del vedo e non vedo si spogliava in pubblico e sui giornali. Era una mina vagante, ma il mondo Hollywood era un mondo estremamente puritano almeno di facciata. La emarginarono. Era famosissima per il nudo, per la somiglianza con Marilyn e per gli scandali dunque finì per girare film solo serie B o perfino a esibirsi nei night di provincia ,in stato confusionale.
Jayne fin da piccola voleva fare l’attrice, diventare qualcuno, come milioni di americane della sua epoca e non. Era intelligente, colta, suonava il violino, il pianoforte e parlava cinque lingue, ma puntò unicamente e prepotentemente sulle doti esteriori. La finta bionda platino svampita e osè, poté comprarsi una villa rosa super kistch con 40 stanze e una piscina a forma di cuore a Beverly Hills. La sua vita fu un girotondo di uomini e di chihuahua che teneva sempre nel suo prosperoso grembo.
L’oca giuliva platino che pareva un fumetto aveva un quoziente di intelligenza di 162. Il boccone amaro da trangugiare insieme all’alcool era accettare l’emarginazione a Hollywood e forse che gli uomini la apprezzassero solo per le sue avvolgenti curve. Cadde sempre più in basso. Jayne negli ultimi tempi viveva con Sam Brody, l’avvocato che per lei aveva lasciato una moglie due figli, per loro fu l’ultima spiaggia. Ubriachi e sotto Lsd, avevano un rapporto violento tanto che lei era piena di lividi sotto strati spessi di cerone. Lui aveva il problema del gioco e voleva i soldi che lei guadagnava. Jayne veniva considerata persona sgradita ai festival del cinema, e nelle feste Hollywoodiane era troppo sexy e ormai spudorata, e beveva troppo, oltre a far uso di LSD. I due amanti sbandati, per macabra ironia della sorte iniziarono addirittura a frequentare un guru satanista del giro di Charles Manson (arrestato e condannato autore della strage che costò la vita nel 1969 Sharon Tate, giovane e bellissima moglie di Roman Polanski).

La bionda platino è l’America stessa , è la luce di un faro
valorizza una chioma ossigenata; non importa cosa si stia
costruendo o decostruendo sotto, la luce delle stelle porta
denaro ai botteghini, è un prodotto.

Si dice che alla Kim Novak in una delle tanti liti alla Columbia dissero “sei solo un pezzo di carne, devi solo sostituire quell’altra, che tra pillole e alcool tirerà le cuoia presto”.

Mazu Yachts, double debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2017

– Two superyacht tenders on display at Quai Jarlan and new Tenders Area
– 38 soft top, launched last June, now delivered in South of France
– 42 walk-around, to be delivered early August

Turkish boutique yacht designer and builder Mazu Yachts confirms two new superyacht tenders to be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show 2017 (September 27-30, 2017).

Mazu Yachts will show two new “sexy” models: 38 soft top and 42 walk-around. Both are equally perfect overnight cruisers or superyacht tenders thanks to yard’s ability in customization of style, layout and decor.

MAZU 38 SOFT TOP
All-new Mazu 11.9m/38′ soft top has been delivered to his lucky owner in Saint Tropez this July 2017.

Designed by Halit Yukay, the yacht has been sold to a European client. He desired to achieve a real “military look” able to combine latest luxury superyacht tender amenities and trendy elegance.

The owner of Mazu 38 soft top is an “Armani style enthusiast”. The yard so decided to use as many different textures of leathers and fabrics as possible – all from Foglizzo and a number of mirrors to give the maximum depth interiors perception, like in a loft condo.

Halit Yukay also designed a fantastic indoors lighting mood from the Italian supplier Cantalupi to enhance Mazu 38 dramatic feeling. New Mazu 38 soft top is so equipped with two Volvo Penta IPS 400 engines and the boat claim to reach a top speed of 34 knots.

MAZU 42 WALK-AROUND
The largest Mazu’s model to be shown, the new 42 walk-around, to be delivered early August 2017, has an overall length of 11.99 meters and a maximum beam of 3.7 meters. The center console, perfectly protected by a real modern superstructure, leaves room for two ample lateral walk-arounds. The yacht has a freeboard that is high enough to allow safety movement on deck even while at sea in combination with sportive profile with and military twist overtones.

On-deck comfort is assured by the ample sun bathing area near the stern, while forward the cockpit is complete with a V-shaped settee and a second settee forward of the  console. The size of the aft platform has allowed the yard to create a true seaside terrace, ideal not only  while  at  anchor  but  also  when  moored  to  the  jetty,  facilitating  coming  aboard and going ashore. The presence of a mobile kitchen with Gaggenau appliances ensures leisurely and pleasurable times when at anchor.

Two 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS 600 give the Mazu 42 walk-around a top speed of 47 knots, with a cruising speed of 32 knots.

Numarine 105 HT, first class experience of Numarine Yachts

October 9, 2017 Leave a comment

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The model is an exceptional sport yacht able to emphasize all the great Numarine attributes, like an innovative exterior design, an efficient and seaworthy hull, great exterior living spaces and spacious interiors, all coupled with a very robust but weight-efficient construction thanks to vacuum-infusion technology and state of the art noise, vibration and harshness suppression.
The custom luxurious finishes and hand selected high end materials used throughout the Numarine 105 HT offer an absolutely “first class” experience, while the impressive exterior areas provide plenty of gracious and refined alfresco space for entertaining guests.
105 HT is drawn by Numarine’s designer Can Yalman, in charge of the concept, lines and interiors, while Umberto Tagliavini is the naval architect.
Key design attributes deliver the functionality, comfort and speed synonymous with the Numarine “mantra”, coupled with striking aesthetics and exceptional use of space for a motor-yacht that can do it all and in style.

The design consideration extends from the cleverly appointed flybridge – a feature that brings the “best of both worlds” to this extravagant hardtop model – to the abundance of outside lounging areas, the immense interior lounge and dining space, the lavish galley and cabin accommodation: all are bathed in natural light, further enhancing the plentiful feeling of space.
Accommodation is comprised of three fully en-suite guest cabins and the spacious full beam master cabin, lavishly appointed with a dressing table, sofa, a large bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and twin basins.
Can Yalman says: “Numarine 105HT is the foremost expression of the styling language that has started with the 78HT. The Hard Top design language has the gill shaped glass elements in the superstructure. Previously we have used this in the ceiling panels but in the 105HT this has been taken to the extreme and  the complete side glass has this gilled, scaled structure emphasizing the creature aesthetic and power within. Taking stylistic language of the transportation industry, mainly the supercars, we tried to emulate the power, speed and luxury feel of an ultimate movement machine to a super-yacht.  The elegance of motion is what we tried to achieve in the design of the Numarine 105HT”.
Designed to navigate in any sea state and powered with twin 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32s, the 105HT is capable of a top speed 30 knots and cruises at around 26 knots. Numarine uses advanced composite construction, vacuum assisted infusion techniques, PVC foam, and EL vinylester resin for sturdy and lightweight  hulls.

Umberto Tagliavini adds:”I have collaborated with the Numarine yard since their beginning and their first yacht. And just as with all Numarine designs, the primary aim when we designed the new  105 HT was to create a high performance hull shape with maximum possible comfort, even when sea conditions are not ideal. Thanks to Numarine’s technology – a given for the yard – we managed to achieve a displacement that gives us high speeds with a relatively smaller propulsion system: the two 1400kW CAT engines give the 105 HT a top speed of over 31 knots.
The chined hull forward has a pronounced V, letting the bow pierce the waves relatively easily, giving the yacht a very comfortable ride. Numarine’s experience made my work easier, resulting in a high performance hull. CFD simulations were of great help in finalizing the design, but the original lines were developed based on the yard’s experience with their previous yachts. To improve the hull, obviously with the help of the yard, I have always taken out the yachts for trails in rough conditions to better understand how to improve handling in difficult conditions”.
The Numarine 105 HT joins a class of performance motor-yachts that sets the industry trends of today and will become an industry reference model for the future.
Antonio Caviglia, Numarine Sales & Marketing Director refers: “This double achievement – in less than one year  – with the delivery of two 105HTs confirms our ability to thoroughly engineer a new project and deliver it on-time and built to the demanding Numarine standard. The new 105HT highlights the following key values: The Numarine design philosophy penned by Can Yalman and its continuous evolution; the light-weight yet strong foam core vacuum infusion construction technology that allows this 33m yacht to reach 31knots of top speed with just twin CAT C32 Acerts with 1925hp each and permits us to provide an industry-leading 10-year Structural Warranty; the the traditional Numarine seaworthiness derived from the great hulls penned by Umberto Tagliavini; the Numarine continuous pursuit of greater on board comfort with noise, vibration and harshness reduction solutions developed together with Silent Line that make this yacht one of the quietest and most-vibration free in its category. Price wise, Numarine continues to provide a great value with the new 105HT, that at a very interesting Euro 6,9 million base price presents a turn-key product with all the needed equipment already standard and a very short extras list, resulting in a very attractive price advantage when compared to the competition.  And this of course includes the customization of the interiors to suit the tastes of the Client, who can make all of his or her interior choices and layout customizations together with our Internal Architect or with the input of his personal Architect working together with our Team”.

Musée Yves Saint Laurent, due musei consacrati alle opere del maestro

September 17, 2017 Leave a comment

I due musei consacrati alle opere di Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) apriranno le loro porte a Parigi e a Marrakech il 16 ottobre, ha annunciato la Fondazione Pierre Bergè-Yves Saint Laurent. Questi due musei permetteranno alla Fondazione, che conserva 40 anni di creazioni dello stilista, di esporre una parte delle sue collezioni, composte da oltre 5.000 abiti, 15.000 accessori e decine di migliaia di schizzi e immagini. Il museo parigino occuperà la storica maison di avenue Marceau dove dal 1974 al 2002 ha visto nascere le creazioni dello stilista e dove oggi si trova la sede della Fondazione. Su oltre 450 mq, una cinquantina di modelli con relativi accessori, abbozzi, immagini e video, saranno presentati al pubblico che potrà anche visitare gli storici saloni e lo studio di Yves Saint Laurent. Il secondo museo YSL aprirà il 16 ottobre a Marrakech, città che lo stilista scoprì nel 1966 e in cui soggiornò con una certa regolarità fino alla morte. Lo troverete in rue Yves Saint Laurent, nelle vicinanze dei Giardini Majorelle e del Museo di Arti berbere (entrambi curati dalla Fondazione con circa 70.000 visitatori annui). Il museo, di 4.000 mq, è stato pensato come un centro culturale con diversi spazi per esposizioni permanenti, auditorium, biblioteca di ricerca e ristorante. A bientot!

Santorini, tramonto antica magia dell’isola

July 24, 2017 Leave a comment

L’isola della Grecia fronteggia l’assalto dei visitatori: per 8 mesi è caos. Grandi navi e aeroporto in tilt, nel borgo ogni casa diventa un B&b

Immaginate una tipica isola cicladica, con le case calcinate a picco sul mare blu. Immaginate le stradine, le piazzette e le taverne direttamente sul mare. Se pensate che Santorini, “kallisté”, la “bellissima” degli antichi, sia questo, siete completamente fuori strada. L’antica Thira è stata il centro dell’anello delle Cicladi, è stata l’isola dei ciuchini che ti portavano dal porticciolo antico alla cima, dopo oltre 550 gradini a picco sul mare. È stata l’isola degli straordinari tramonti goduti in solitudine e del meltemi che spazza l’orizzonte. È stata perfino Atlantide. Ma sfido qualsiasi viaggiatore che l’abbia visitata prima degli Anni Ottanta a riconoscerla oggi.

Una visita a Santorini dovrebbe iniziare dai resti di Akrothiri, antica cittadina satellite di Creta, seppellita dai resti della più grande eruzione mai avvenuta nel Mediterraneo. Nel 1600 avanti Cristo, dopo giorni di terremoti ed emissioni di gas, l’isola esplode letteralmente, cancellando quasi completamente la raffinata civiltà che si era insediata sulle sue coste. Si è pensato che quella catastrofe potesse aver causato la fine della civiltà minoica, ma recenti studi permettono di escluderlo, lasciandogli forse solo un ruolo propedeutico. Per questo, comunque, molti hanno identificato in Santorini l’Atlantide di Platone. È certo l’azzurro della “stanza delle ragazze”, a seni nudi, truccate e acconciate, o gli affreschi delle scimmie dagli occhi allucinati a raccontare di una vita quotidiana felice e ricca. Nei resti scavati solo a partire dagli Anni Settanta, strade, piazze e palazzi, qualcuno addirittura con il bagno in casa, e soprattutto tonnellate di ceneri bianche che hanno seppellito tutto. Ma nessun cadavere, come se ci fosse stato il tempo per fuggire prima dell’epilogo. Un ibex d’oro, forse una statuina giocattolo, è l’unico bene ritrovato, un altro segno che fa la differenza rispetto a Pompei, dove una pausa nell’eruzione aveva dato l’illusione che si potesse tornare.

Ma quando arrivo dal mare il primo segno che qualcosa è cambiato lo vedo alla fonda o nel porto: fino a quattro o cinque enormi navi da crociera che stazionano dentro l’anello creato dalle pareti del vulcano e che vomitano migliaia di turisti al giorno in una miriade di pullman di ogni forma e grandezza. Incuranti delle piccole Nea Kameni e Palea Kameni, brandelli di isole vulcaniche all’interno dell’isola, testimoni delle ultime eruzioni del vulcano negli anni Cinquanta. A questi si aggiungono i turisti che decine di voli giornalieri portano da ogni parte del mondo. Tutti a cercare il panorama, a mangiare octopus e bere ouzo, ma, più di ogni altra cosa, tutti a guardare il tramonto. A ridosso del calar del sole, a migliaia si accalcano verso Oia, il paese del tramonto. Decine di pullman si incolonnano sulle stradine dell’isola e si ingorgano insieme con auto a noleggio, quad e camionicini di servizio, spesso senza neanche riuscire a scendere in paese.

Bar e ristoranti sono tutti orientati al tramonto. Le terrazze valgono oro e sono sempre tutte piene. Gli hotel si sono tutti trasformati in resort di lusso e spa, con piscina privata per ogni suite a picco sul mare che rimane comunque irraggiungibile, quasi un elemento d’arredo. Il privilegio del tramonto diventa un incubo che termina solo a tarda sera, quando anche l’ultimo dei pullman riesce a rientrare da Oia e a liberare le strade. Ed è così da aprile a novembre, unico caso di destagionalizzazione che non comporta alcun vantaggio per il turista, sballottato sulle stradine e ingolfato nel saliscendi dei centri abitati.

Grandi navi e aeroporto spiegano in un attimo perché Santorini sia diventata irriconoscibile: lo spazio dell’isola rivolto al tramonto resta sempre quello, ma i turisti incrementano. E la facilità di collegamenti non conferisce qualità alla vacanza. Il risultato è un caos indigesto, inadatto al godimento, molto peggiore di quello di Nanni Moretti in “Caro Diario” alla sua prima notte a Lipari. Fuggo a Pyrgos, dove qualche taverna conserva ancora il fascino delle Cicladi e da dove non si vedono né mare né tramonto. E rifletto sulla crisi economica che ha travolto la Grecia ma non le sue isole, dove i prezzi sono alti e i flussi non conoscono soste. È un bene per i suoi abitanti ma il consumo del bene-isola dovrebbe preoccupare: i grandi alberghi non appartengono quasi più ai greci e la ricchezza diffusa che un tempo accompagnava il turismo ha lasciato il posto a una concentrazione in cui l’unico ruolo a disposizione degli autoctoni è quello dei camerieri. E poi vive ancora qualcuno a Oia? Tutti gli edifici ospitano hotel, affittacamere, negozi, bar e ristoranti: non c’è più nemmeno una casa privata. Tutto in nome di un tramonto di cui si conosce molto bene il prezzo, ma non più il valore.

Other amenities include floor to ceiling windows, foldout hydraulic terraces in the owner’s suite and on the aft deck increasing the already considerable available space…
Allowing permanent visual contact with the sea was one of the other tasks assigned to Francesco Paszkowski’s design team. Interiors, as per client’s request, were designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design Studio in cooperation with Margherita Casprini and reflect a “modern but warm” atmosphere.
The result will simply be one of the most beautiful 50-meter yacht ever build under 500 GRT. The level of detailing, both inside and outside, is in line with what everyone usually expects to find onboard much larger yachts.

S501 M/Y VERTIGE BUILDER STATEMENT
The Tankoa Vertige S501 is built entirely in aluminum light alloy 5083.
Construction has been carefully followed by the project manager and builder engineer Albert McIlroy, the owner’s representative. Albert has been responsible for supervising construction of a number of yachts worldwide and mainly in Northern Europe. McIlroy recently declared – “With S501, Tankoa Yachts has greatly improved their time schedule management and operation processes and they truly have a teutonic approach that often leaves me speechless for an Italian builder. I can say, after having supervised the construction of many yachts worldwide, not only the work pace and productivity at Tankoa are superior but it is also probably the first time I see the production schedule fully respected without altering the incredible flexibility that Tankoa is becoming known for.”
The above mention factor is truly a plus as the Tankoa organization and business plan, calling for only-the-best subcontractors and suppliers, comes within a package offering typical Italian styling and flexibility at a more competitive price point than our northern European colleagues.
S501, while still under the 500 GRT mark, offers spectacular layout and amenities that include:

  • Main deck owner’s suite and master’s suite. The owner’s suite is equipped with two lateral foldout terraces.
  • Two Vip and two guest cabins on the lower deck.
  • A gigantic aft deck and fly bridge. The aft deck is equipped with an oversized sun pad, a reversed deck salon looking aft and a lateral three meter long foldout terrace to keep guests in contact with the sea.
  • Floor to ceiling windows in the main salon with cut down bulwarks providing an excellent view.
  • A 7m tender garage.
  • Two jet skis and another service tender forward.
  • Upper deck TV salon with bar.
  • Upper outdoor deck with dining table for 14 guests and wrap-around sofa for up to 20 people with a foldable TV screen.
  • Beach club/gym in the transom area.
  • Full displacement aluminum hull to reduce both draft and fuel consumption while allowing for easy maintenance.

YARD COMMENTS AFTER SEA TRIALS
Tankoa Yachts reported excellent results after the S501 M/Y Vertige recent sea trails. According to contract specifications, top speed was to be 16 knots at half load.
While performances of 50 meter long Vertige were to be measured in calm seas and five knots of wind, actual sea trails took place with over a meter waves and a crossed choppy sea with northerly wind gusts up to 30 knots.
Edoardo Ratto, General Manager of Tankoa Yachts, commented: “Since for the very first sea trails, which lasted about eight hours, were simply incredible. Vertige reached a top speed of 16.5 knots at 60% load (about 33,000 liters of fuel and more than 20,000 liters of water). S501 has a range of over 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, which really makes a difference when going for Atlantic crossings. There were no vibration at all and the decibel readings were inferior to contracted levels – in the owner’ssuite and Vip cabin, levels were below 50 decibels”.
During the first trails, while performing all the maneuvers foreseen by international standards, the Vertige’s excellent handling was confirmed: even when the stabilizers were not enabled, the yacht demonstrated excellent stability.
