Prada handbag, Bottega Veneta bootie, Dolce & Gabbana earrings, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Armani Prive perfume & Prada sunglasses.
Spotted, these fashionista’s bring OTT glamour back on the streets of Milano. No trainers here (we leave that for the London set) it’s all high heels & tiny bags.

Continuing my love for all things Italian this week, I visited the beautiful Rosa sisters of Sicilian heritage, Elana & Nadia. Both have crafted a unique niche in Perth’s fashion scene, Elana is the Buyer at Dilettante (the luxury fashion store) and Nadia’s about to launch a candle range. Here a first look at Elana’s incredibly tasteful home that she attributes to none other than her Nonna!
Cluster of candles, perfume, flowers, taxidermy, books & artworks.
Elana Rosa, who has been surrounded and influenced by many talented friends and family including Heath Ledger (her stepbrother), artist Matt Doust & Tane Andrews as well as the designers Nikolina Ergic & Daniel Romanin from One Fell Swoop.
Bone bird, Art Noveau sconces & Mexican Madonna artworks.
My beautiful sister, Nadia Rosa…who is about to launch an incredible candle label, Maison Damore.

I was wooed by the Milanese renaissance this Fashion week. The meters of pretty sheer chiffons, floating down the catwalk & the revival of Italian heritage in prints at Dolce. And then there was Gucci who never seems to disappoint in confident stakes of super sexy! Add the athletic edge from Prada and Marni and you had a week of grandeur, splendour that all seemed so romantic.
