Sprezzatura Styling Sessions

In pursuit of Dressing the Stylish Mind (DTSM) I am fascinated by Sprezzatura so we’re starting a new series dedicated to the high art of curated tailoring and accessorizing.

Sprezza-what you say?

Perhaps when travelling to Italy or France you have witnessed the European gentleman in all his splendor, particularly those lounging about in tasseled loafers, impeccably dressed in tailored suits, pocket handkerchief draping effortlessly from the aperture?
Perhaps your version is wrapped in cashmere scarf and wearing a floral lapel button?

No matter, they are all fabulous. And what’s more, Sprezzatura isn’t only for the boys, it’s fast becoming preferred by style blazing women.

These well turned-out gentlemen are the essence of Sprezzatura –the art of looking great, effortlessly.
We are starting for the first Sprezzatura challenge with a ‘simple, clean, tailored’ look.

Nothing too difficult here DTSM friends – the inspiration - the clean cool blue, white and tangy lemon palette.
This look is clean, easy on the eye, summary and poised.

The Edit ~ Scarf Ring Loves Francoise Gilot

Painter, lover and artistic muse of Pablo Picasso from 1944 to 1953, mother of his children, Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso and the only woman to have loved and left him.
Gilot was a pioneer of pattern, an accomplished aesthete at ease with mixing colour, form and tribal art influences. It is the irrepressible spirit of Gilot, her independence and brazen artistic vision that we celebrate ‘as a women of style and substance’.
The Liberatti Scarf Ring team has enjoyed pattern play this week with Stripes, Spots and the new Pico Scarf Ring!!
Our manifesto is to illustrate how Scarf Rings turn style into your personal story.
