I had celebrated Ottavio Missoni's 90th birthday, on 2011, and sadly I have now to pay tribute again to its person, which have left us, lovers of colours, italian and international fashion, but first of all the maison Missoni, its patterns and one of their creator, along with his wife Rosita.

Ottavio Missoni (February 11, 1921 - May 9, 2013)

My tribute to its family and its activities, creations and history, which continues to go hand in hand with italianity and italian fashion

For my 600 followers:

Sophia Loren

I take the opportunity to dedicate it to Sophia Loren, in occasion of her birthday.

Sophia Loren, born Sofia Villani Scicolone, 20 September 1934 is an Italian actress.
I have nothing to add, because I'm nobody to write here the biography in synthesis of Sophia, her incredible life doesn't need to be mentioned here I think, the same for the career, so I just wanna say thank you to all my followers and all the colour lovers, thanks!!

To celebrate my 500+ followers:

René Lacoste (Paris, July 2, 1904 - Saint-Jean-de-Luz, October 12, 1996)

To celebrate my 500+ great fol-lov(v)ers I've created this palette,
which is a homage to Renè Lacoste, on the occasion
of the anniversary of the birth of the famous tennis player, stylist, innovator and businessman. Considered the most ingenious tennis player ever,
he was fascinated from tennis at the age of 15: he was not a powerful player and not even a fast one but the meticulous 6-hours training sessions helped him so much to get extremely precise shots,
both forehand and backhand; to these he had added a very fine preparation on tactics and every opponent. He won 2 Wimbledon
(1925, 1928, 3 roland Garros (1925, 1927 and 1929) and 2 edition
of the US Open (1926, 1928). Then he started a non-less brilliant business career, using his nickname, "the crocodile",
and his own logo of the animal, which become a famous brand very soon.
He also invented the first metal made racket and he was
the author of the book "Lacoste on Tennis",
a manual that has been fundamental for many many years.
Lacoste moved
to Saint-Jean-de-Luz in 1967,
where he led his company until his last days.

I hope you like it, I have no words, so thank you all!
