Hot stuff: fab and glam
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening….” – Coco Chanel
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” — Audrey Hepburn
Fashion anticipates, and elegance is a state of mind … a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future, and should never be static. – Oleg Cassini

FashionBride Interview with Mauro Adami
The DOMO ADAMI Bridal Couture Made in Italy collection captures, enchants and makes someone dream. It breaks the concepts of tradition and proposes gowns that can fit in the Haute Couture world.That’s why I could resist to make a short interview with the designer behind this wonderful bridal range. Here are some of his beliefs and advices for all you FashionBrides.
Hope you enjoy it!
1. Tell us what are the main reasons that stand behind the brand Domo Adami?
Behind DOMO ADAMI there is the creative ability and the need to fulfill the modern demands of organizing wedding parties, which have to be modern, lavish and always with a view to the special emotions that every bride experiences when she becomes the main character of the event.
2. And why Mauro Adami’s special interest for the bridal industry?I have always been fascinated by the emotional pomp. The bridal world is to me like a stage where fashion, Lighting, music and emotions work together in synchronization
3. Some of the best designers in the world are born in Italy. Do you think your background influenced in any way your creations?I believe that everybody has his own artistic value in his own background and that creativity can be influenced by encounters and experiences. Being Italian my taste is closer to the classic Beauty concept. A concept which is now renewed culturally and aesthetically by the trends and influences I collect during my travelling all over the world and by the special people I meet every day.
4. Talk us trough the process of making a gown. And tell us if you have a special way of designing (maybe some superstitions when designing?)First of all there is the emotion of an idea: a piece of fabric, a feminine movement, a setting to personalize. All that harmonizes and bends in like in a ballet of atmospheres.
5. Do you have a favorite gown? One that you’ve created and has a special meaning. And if so, what does it make it so special?
The gown in itself is just a part of the artistic message. The gown has to find its bride and only when this happens, the party will start taking up color and rhythm. When the perfect bride wears the perfect dress, this becomes a unique piece: a sheath dress, mermaid with a V neck on the back for a glamorous and feminine bride. A full wide ball gown for the dream which becomes reality.
6. How do you see a perfect bride? What should she wear?The perfect bride is complete in all her features, in any single moment of the ceremony and of the reception. When she chooses her accessories, the details and the style, everything has to be perfect.
8. Do you prefer a more conventional style or go for the avant guard when designing your collections?I prefer to know the traditions and the rules to create new routes which will celebrate the modern and contemporary elegance.
9. What about white, should a bride consider having a different color for her dress?White is the color which represents the bride. I drop the white only if I find a color which better expresses the emotion of the bride I am taking care of.
10. Tell us some more about your 2010 collection. What are the novelties you brings?
Simple lines, monochromatic and refined style for DA STUDIO Wedding Style & Glamour Collection: a modern glamour made of simple but sophisticated luxury
11. What were your inspiration sources, what did you opt for as materials, shapes etc.The 2010 Collections are the answer to the most modern social trends. Traditional brides to make people feel safe and to celebrate the event with great splendor and minimal brides for something very exclusive.
12. Last but not least, do you have an advice for FashionBride readers?I suggest they should research and be informed as much as possible. And entrust themselves to the professionals of the wedding.

Carlo Pignatelli Bridal Couture Collection 2010
Pignatelli is the rebel who showed the fashion world that bridegrooms are just as important to be looked at as the bride. He showed us that men could wear Haut Couture and thus holds a reputed reputation for men’s formal wear. He gives us constantly unprecedented colours and styles in some of the most ceremonial moments in our lives.
With enormous success in Italy (whereby a quarter of all men receive their tuxedos from his fashion line), Germany, and the rest of Europe, Carlo Pignatelli has been able to expand his impeccable eye for precision to men, women, and children with ceremonial, classic, outside, prêt-a-porter, underwear, shoe, and accessory lines. He recently decided to expand his sphere of fans to the United States—providing magnificent shoes in New York and Los Angeles.
