the fi nest garment for men in the world<br />
The term camouflage literally means a disguise which allows animals,<br />
things and objects to merge with their surroundings and<br />
become formally invisible. It is also used as a solution for wartime<br />
and military purposes.<br />
In the specific case of BESPOKE we like the idea of putting a mask<br />
over our logo which hides its real identity from the world. And<br />
additionally we like the idea of accompanying the camouflage<br />
theme into the world of fashion, accessories and design objects<br />
which will be very fashionable next year too.<br />
It is a new trend in all sectors but it is also a way for quality products<br />
to be highly fashionable but at the same time minimally visible.<br />
A transformism which underlines minimalist luxury in terms<br />
of visual display too.<br />
At this point, dear readers, in this triad of hidden minimalism you will<br />
find quality stories dressed up in salsa chic and cool from our editorial<br />
team and our contributors served up with the consummate skill<br />
of an international chef making dishes of great creativity.<br />
A journey through the preppy universe, the precursor to many styles<br />
which are still in vogue, culinary offerings from exotic restaurants,<br />
the creations of a great Venetian jewellery maker, the masterpieces<br />
of a Japanese cobbler via the Parmigiani atelier with a glance at the<br />
production secrets of this prestigious fine watchmaker.<br />
editorial<br />
We have put down on paper the words and images of the “most<br />
elegant man of the century”, Luciano Barbera, without forgetting<br />
to celebrate the first 25 years of Villa Paradiso with its creators Joelle<br />
and Danilo.<br />
Birthdays are our speciality and we certainly couldn’t forget Mick<br />
Jagger’s 70th birthday and the myth of the Rolling Stones via the<br />
beautiful aura of the Bucolica country life and the luxuries of a<br />
journey on rails on board the Orient Express.<br />
And we’ll take a rest from these efforts in the splendid retreat of a<br />
mansion with a view of the Faraglioni in Capri before we have our<br />
measurements taken for a tailored suit in Singapore.<br />
Without fear of getting jet lagged we’ll spend 24 elegant hours<br />
in Belgrade with a trip to relive the glorious splendours of Hotel<br />
Martinez in Cannes and take the time out for a wonderful holiday<br />
in the sun in Formentera as guest of a famous restaurant which<br />
goes by the name of Chezz Gerdi.<br />
My colleagues and I are citizens of the world and you’ll find only<br />
quality objects and souvenirs in our suitcases as we’re always on<br />
the look out for the beautiful.<br />
Foule sentimentale, la soif d’idéale.<br />
