Every scarf is different. Because, as the designer Claudia Trofimov said, “My emotions when I paint a new piece are different, too. Each scarf keeps a piece of me, and none of them looks like the other. I see the silk scarf as a canvas in which I can capture some of the wonders of the world we ...

February 12th, 2020 / by Alina Aliman / in: Dazzling stories / No responses

A tiny little detail can change everything, in just one second. In life, in a business but, more important (at least here, on a lifestyle blog) in an outfit. Katerini Mou headpieces, the earrings and the brooches are, in fact, those accessories that emphasise my statement. Those details that ...
