Croissant and Pizza (with Style)
Italy and France: two nations united by a love for good food and fashion, yet divided by culinary and sartorial philosophies.
On one side, the French with their croissants and an air of chic sobriety. On the other, we Italians, always ready with a pizza to warm our hearts (and challenge our pants' zippers).
But one thing both peoples share is a passion for food, style, and the art of living.
Discover how and why fashion adapts to our eating habits and the perfect solution to live without compromise.
The French Paradox: croissants, baguettes, and high-waisted pants.
The French seem to live in perfect balance: buttery croissants in the morning, a slice of brie at lunch, and impeccable physiques. But let’s be honest: their secret lies elsewhere.
They buy pants a size too small as an incentive to stop eating. The result?
They stroll with a baguette under their arm and the look of someone who has it all under control, but inside... they’re bursting.
This self-imposed discipline is reflected in their fashion: high-waisted trousers, elegant cuts, and neutral colors. Sobriety is everything, even when it means suffering in silence.
Italians: "Life is too short to say no to pizza."
In Italy, food is a celebration, an act of love. A plate of pasta is a warm hug, and dessert? A constitutional right.
Italian fashion, aware of our passion for food, offers more accommodating solutions: soft cuts, elastic waists, and fabrics designed to enhance and comfort.
Because in Italy, fashion is not about suffering. After a Sunday lunch when the zipper struggles to close, fashion for Italians becomes frustration.
