Fashion, stainless traditions, Bon Ton. Trends, tics and quirks. Charm. The timeless spirit of Milan, which for this reason is (often) ahead of its time. Two perspectives, even generational, on our beloved city. All of this is told by Lina Sotis and Michela Proiettiand more in the new column on milano.corriere.it. Here is the previous episode. Today the new. Have fun while reading!
Before walking around town, maybe there were too many people, not many people (why…?), but the people around were the same as you. Now it will be the fashion, it seems, to change got used to the bad fashion walking the streets and hasn’t even been attacked, nobody noticed. How bad it is to see a girl humiliate her own town walking around in shorts, shorts that see the apple! Knee length jeans are tolerable, you’re always a chump, but at least a town chump, not exactly the one that comes from… yeah, where do so many girls come from in pink, short shorts that seem like nothing, or those hideous frayed ones Shorts showing all types of legs. Here you are, Here it doesn’t matter if the legs are beautiful or ugly, it’s terrible to see themabominable, as the gentleman, googly-eyed in the street, says and says, “Where is more decency?”
Terrible, because as the Lord says it’s worse in the handkerchief, See how the men are walking around today, all in knee-length shorts. What a vulgar fashion, but because they do not understand that it is not elegant to show the thighs in the city, it is not done in the city. Yes, you can afford to hop in the car for a country walk on Friday night or for a Friday morning walk, but only door to car. But when you come back on Sunday, you wear a skirt, long trousers and the much-cited city effect: Respect your city, it took your ancestors years to build it, some respect girls don’t be little because whoever walks around in shorts is a pick-me-up. Ernesto Galli della Loggia said so many years ago, I always agree with him! (Lina Sotis)
The way to the hell is paved with good intentions The Mini-Me phenomenon is proven proof of this. This attempt to dress like their daughters and sons to shorten the distance to their parents has created misunderstandings between generations, even serious ones, with grandmothers wearing Abercrombie t-shirts like those of their teenage nephews (after Milan closed has, it recovers, because the Milanese). I can tell he bought it again, like before, on Fifth Avenue). Or they see each other Moms in hot pants like their high school daughterBlue pencil error defined by Inès de la Fressange «a bit like using the bottle after 4 years».
The fashionistas mix the cards by wearing cropped frayed shorts with a blazer for an accent. One of the tricks of mothers returning to nanny is to buy the same pair of chipies (canvas shoes without laces…) as the child and, in extreme cases, bull’s-eye sandals. The men did not escape the disaster, on the beach in the same bathing suit as their two-year-old son, with ice cream cone, frog prince and flying saucer designs. The Milanese is not so naïve as to slip into capris, but often dares to wear Bermuda shorts with the hem swinging above the knee, which Felipe from Spain often does when on holiday in Mallorca. And for heaven’s sake, given the great heat and casual Friday, nobody should think about going to the office: during his student days, Prof. Ernesto Galli della Loggia invited one of my fellow students to hurry up and hide the fur on his leg with me long pants! And Lina Sotis, when I was still an intern at Corriere, met me at the newspaper in August with a sleeveless shirt reminded me: “Little one, you go to the corriere like you’re going to church, run and put on a sweater.” What can I say? I had excellent teachers. (Michela Proietti)
