In Milan, 24th September Drusilla Foer has opened the CHIARA BONI La Petite Robe show with a performance dedicating Charlie Chaplin's smile to the Florentine fashion designer.
The bold colors and enchanted vibes of an adventurous African trip through the Spring/Summer 2024 collection of Chiara BoniLa Petite Robe, which, after several seasons in New York, returns to show in Manila Drusilla Foer opened the CHIARA BONI La Petite Robe show with a performance dedicating Charlie Chaplin's smile to the Florentine fashion designer.
Embracing comfort without renouncing ultimate sophistication, they wear flattering dresses and separates designed to enhance the feminine figure with refinement. Treasuring their unforgettable travel memories, they opt for an eye-catching color palette, including saturated shades of golden green, ink, orange juice, and topaz yellow, that find a perfect balance with timeless shades of night blue and black. Maxi zebra patterns, graphic interpretations of the traditional tie-dye motifs, and jaguar spots add an exotic vibe to the collection, inviting a deep dive into a carefree holiday mood.
Draping takes center stage in the collection for a hyper-feminine and sensual touch. New jersey fabrics are introduced to guarantee dynamic movement in the pieces. Super soft and slightly compressive, or ultra lightweight with a silky finishing reflecting light, Chiara Boni’s stretchy materials help exalt the curves while ensuring an elegant look. There are dresses showing liquid finishing—the ultimate outfit of chic goddesses emerging from clearwaters. Stretchsatin is used for crocheted dresses cut in different lengths. Taffeta is mixed with the iconic jersey for dramatic gowns, revealing maxis sleeves and caccaped details. If relaxed pajama-inspired separates showing a mix and match of prints exude a breezy vibe, a min-iskirt is matched with a fitted blazer with sartorial shoulderers for a cool urban style. In keeping with the brand’s feminine and glamorous spirit, cascades of sequins and mirror decorations add the right dose of sparkle. Gold leather platforms make the silhouette slender and elongated.
Prominent among the models were Tony Garrn, who opened the show, and Anne V. Styling, led by Simone Guidarelli. The music for the show, composed and produced as an original soundtrack by Thomas Costantin (Thomas Co-Stantin Studio—Milan), is a journey from faraway Africa into the New York subway. Afro rhythms meet urban and electronic sounds, and women's voices become metallic noises that guide us from start to finish to discover how the city today has a thousand different facets: dreamy pianos and courtly choruses in the mornings with a Savannah sunrise intersect with dark percussion and industrial sounds.

Pack nicotine alternatives
Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images ©
