It’s always difficult to choose the right clothing for any occasion. Every season change you can find the new collection and you never know what to choose. Fratinardi, for the a/w season, proposes many news with clothing, shoes and accessories.

If you follow the Fratinardi style, you already know that we are up to date both in terms of fashion and in terms of events for a very convenient shopping. On the occasion of the Black Friday, you will see, on our website Fratinardi.it, a selection of the A/W collection with a discount of 25% for this occasion. No one wants to lose this opportunity!

Today we also want to give you an explanation of this event because many of you don’t know its meaning.

Where was the Black Friday born?

This special Friday comes the day after the Thanksgiving day (celebrated the fourth Thursday of November in USA and in Canada), and it’s the day when, according to a tradition established in the ’60s, the American retailers propose special discount to promote the shopping and let the Christmas atmosphere begin.

Why black?

For this question we have two possible explanations. The first concerns  the retailers who filled in the registers with a red pen for the expenditures and a black pen for the revenues. On the Friday after the Thanksgiving day, the accounts wew definetely black. The second theory concerns the chaos of this particular day, with the traffic in the streets and in the stores full of people crazy for the shopping.

In these last years, to promote the sales, there’s no more one only day for the Black Friday but more. Indeed, Fratinardi celebrates this day from 21 to 30 November in the stores, and from the 29 November to the 1 December online.

Elegance and femininity are the key words of the new collection proposed by Fratinardi.

We aim for the best only for you

Highlighting the shapes of a woman and enhancing her strengths, these are the characteristics of the clothing present in our stores. Patrizia Pepe, Mariuccia, Marella and Almagores are just few of the brands giving to the woman the chance to express her professionalism but also her fanciful side.

We reflect with the outfit proposed, the catwalks of the last edition of the Milano fashion week: back to the elegance of ‘70s, with jackets and trousers, straps, skirts above the knee. The colours are autumnal but they anticipate those from the winter. Compagnia Italiana proposes an evergreen with a suit in black but also in yellow ochre.

Milano Fashion Week: animalier, jungle and bright colours

Another fashion week has come and gone and Fratinardi wants to share with you the experience of being there. Certainly we can say which trends there will be the in 2020.

It’s been a fashion week rich in bright colours, a real embrace with the colours of the nature. Freshness and will to live, these have been the perceptions watching at the catwalk of this warm September. The fashion guru have been inspired by many trends for the new collection Spring-Summer 2020.

For Dolce & Gabbana the animal pattern is a great classic. The accessories and shoes show patterns inspired by the exotic mantles of zebras, giraffes and roaring felines. Something new is the shoulder microbag with striations or spotted.

From animals to the tropical jungle with Versace. The strong colours like turquoise and fluorescent green are back in jackets and trousers, cocktail dresses or minidresses.

With Prada we travel back in time to the 20ies and 50ies. Pastel colours and embroidery on sleeves and skirts make you remember of those past years when it was easy to be elegant with a skirt cut under the knee and a three-quarter sleeve.

The new collection Moschino is inspired by the world of art with coloured brush strokes and geometric figures. A tribute to Picasso with Spanish international costumes.

The male look is used by Missoni and MaxMara to represent a super woman, strong and decisive and with a independent look. This is the woman represented at the Milano Fashion Week: strong, coloured and independent.

In fact the MFW beyond the new trends, wants to be a mirror for the future where any woman can find herself.

Dr. Martens, the boots that never go out of style

In recent times, it is fashionable to put in our wardrobe clothes that have written the history. Clothes and accessories with a glorious past and related to precise stylistic directions are very popular. After all, everyone is nostalgic about never experienced times and that’s why we choose clothes that take us back to the past years.

The history of Dr. Martens is meaningful: the creator Klaus Martens, after an accident occurred during the Second World War, decided to create new shoes with a particular sole with a bearing and a more resistant finishing to make them more comfortable.

The years go and after the military period the Dr Martens become the most famous boots, a cult for whole generations, matching many trends like punk, grunge, mod and metalhead.

Many of you certainly have a pair of Dr. Martens in your wardrobe and the combinations are various. It depends on our personality. They are not elegant shoes but if matched in the right way, they can be equally feminine and romantic.

Are you romantic? You won’t be wrong wearing your boots with a long dress with flowers or a short one with plain colours. The fabrics must be very soft and you can match on it a shirt or a white t-shirt during the summer.

In a sexy version we can choose a short skirt o a black sheath dress with a leather jacket.

The Dr. Martens can be an alternative to the sneaker. Therefore you can use denim but skinny. Dresses, long skirts, plain colours or fantasies. The after war boots are still trendy and never go out of fashion. Are you ready to be fashionable? With the Dr. Martens you will never be wrong!

Princesses, queens, influencer and sexy models, an explosion of tulle and glitter. The Red Carpet of the Venice Biennale showed dresses from Chanel, Givenchy, Dior, Armani Privè and many other designers who gave vent to their talent to be admired in one of the most important festival internationally.

Between the models sensual expressions and the actresses alluring looks, everyone can notice the simple and sober godmother smile. Alessandra Mastronardi has certainly been the winner of the catwalk because she could mix the haute couture with her naive face. One of her best outfit has been a long dress from Amani Privè, realised from the designer and his made in Italy tailoring.

 

If the total black is the outfit that best dress important actresses, the pink is getting ahead as well. In all his shapes and shades, it demonstrated the incomparable style from Chanel: Lily-Rose Depp worn a ling dress with a piece of fabric around her neck. Between the best catwalks we cannot forget Cate Blanchette and her dress with sweet black and white flounces with many glitters.

Tulle, chiffon, flounces and a lot of colour for the women of this Red Carpet. Paola Turani, Liv Tyler, Isabelle Huppert and Penelope Cruz with princess dresses and they enchanted everyone between the photographers flashes and the fans screams. We can’t forget Scarlett Johansson and her long dress like Jessica Rabbit. And finally someone preferred a male tux to surprise like Melissa Satta, Valentina Lodovini and Michelle Hunziker.

Desired, always used. Big, little, pouch or a shoulder bag. Whatever its size, the bag is without any doubt, the most used accessory by a woman. For this summer 2019, the iconic bags are many and they will follow the women arms until the presentation of the new collections.

After the most beautiful fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris, which models are a must have?

Crocodile bag: it symbolizes luxury and transgression and it’s back, real or fake, to express its irreverence on a total black while a brown crocodile is more versatile and perfect for a vintage look.

The purse or clutch: it’s defined the accessory from the past, to bring by hand or arm. It’s perfect in any geometric shape or pastel shade.

Carrie’s bag: it’s the very famous bag from Sex and The City, big but not too much, ideal for any occasion. For work or during a cocktail with friends, the Carrie will keep any object.

Backpack: for a jaunty woman who doesn’t want to exceed with the elegance and is ready to go to work with a backpack. Black, light colours or strong shades, it express your personality. Be risky!

A woman bag keep inside all her life. Mirror, lipstick, diary, everything tells about your character. A bag is the window to the soul. Therefore, tell!
