Whenever the day of a new shooting that has Ilona in the spotlight comes along, we advise together what clothes she would like to wear. Specifically, it became one of our favorite games to think about how to combine the fashion items together, and what fits and what seems to be from a totally different story.
Since I started this project, I noticed that Ilona, like all girls, is drawn primarily of colors, and she makes choices based on the feeling that a certain material gives her when touching her skin. For example, when she chose the red dress from Simonetta, the applied flower (a detail that draws all eyes), white cuffs and turtle neck collar definitely impressed her, without a doubt. With all these, if she would not have felt comfortable in it, she would have dropped to wear it. She’s my daughter, and I assure you that she’s not willing to sacrifice her own comfort in the name of aesthetics.
Fortunately, the creators behind Simonetta, an Italian brand whose story begins in 1950, have accumulated enough experience to live up to the expectations of the most demanding retail customers and know how important it is to focus on the ultimate quality. In addition, the dress that Ilona is wearing today, shows how creative they are. Following a classic A cut and using unconventional material, as neoprene, a modern fabric in the fashion industry, the result is simply amazing.
Even if the dress makes you think of the ’60s, I suggested Ilona to give the entire outfit a rock look and combine it with a pair of boots from Naturino, made from veal leather, which are extremely comfortable and stylish due to the side zippers. She didn’t hesitate to try them on, and during the shooting, she repeated to me several times: “When you’re right, you’re right”.
