BEACH IN THE WINTER


Hi everyone! here a few photos of these last days in Venice...
How not to take a walk by the seaside on a wonderful winter sunny day? 

Feels so strange to see it totally empty, it seems yesterday it was summer when I used to come here with friends and it was so so crowded! 

But no drama! I'm leaving for the mountain tomorrow, celebrating the new year's eve in Cortina d'ampezzo... I haven't really hung out these days, I'd rather stay warm at home working on a spicy surprise for you my dear followers :) I hope you will appreciate



After that we stopped by the supermarket to buy some stuff for dinner... I can't resist buying microwavable junk food every time I'm far from home and mom's not there to cook a healthy meal! (I think she'd kill me if she only knew!)

Of course I got some bread and salami as well... My dope!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!




Hi everyone! 
Here I go with a short video to wish you a very merry christmas <3  

This is actually some kind of surprise for my beloved friends, who didn't really expect me to make a christmas video with all their Iphone videos!
I have a feeling they might have had understood I was going to do this cause lately I've been texting everyone on whatsapp asking for "those videos". 

Well as you can see I didn't manage on getting a lot of them, but it's fine cause it's Christmas and everyone is nicer so you should appreciate this anyway! lol

<3 Merry Christmas to all of you

Enrico's Birthday


Last night was Enrico's birthday!
Lately he moved from Rome to Venice so we haven't seen in a while!
We were all so happy to have the chance to celebrate altogether =)

We met after dinner and waited for midnight to open a bottle of sparkling wine and rise our glasses for Enrico who turned 24!
There was such an intimate, friendly, lovely warm atmosphere... 

Today it's still Enrico's Birthday (22nd Dec) so I take the chance to wish him all the best again ...

Hey Mr Costantini you're a big boy! 

He always told me he liked my white RIP OFF'S type one... so here they are! in BLACK! :) 

Hope you enjoyed.

Let it snow!

 
Don t I love Xmas magic! Tonight we met for a little intimate dinner with friends at Lilian s place and we were all so happily surprised when, while drinking hot tea, we started seeing snow flakes pouring down covering everything in white in a few minutes...

It really felt like in the movies, cause we were actually listening to xmas songs. Yeah we all really feel the xmas mood haha

You might think its not that unsual, but for us it actually is...cause I had never seen so much snow in a sudden...in my town!

Enrico Costantini for Gloobbi - The new dolcevita



Look what's out today! Gloobbi talks about me and my "partner in crime" Enrico Costantini, and our "New dolcevita" column for swide.com, Dolce&Gabbana web magazine. 

Special thanks to Gloobbi, I'm so flattered for their words. Hope you all feel the same about the new dolcevita. Keep following =) 

Andrea 



"It is said that any reputable young man should visit Venice at least once in his life time, but what of the dandy fellows of Venice? Where do they go? “Rome,” says interior design student Enrico Costantini who has lived in the country’s capital for the past five years experiencing what he and his partner in crime, Andrea Ravieli, have described as “the New Dolce Vita.”
La New Dolce Vita is a column on Swide.com, a magazine that invites readers to indulge in the Dolce & Gabbana universe of fashion and glamour. In their column, Costantini and Ravieli highlight life lived in style, with a pinch of irony and a lot of passion.
The dual writes about their adventures in Rome, Milan and Venice to paint a picture of their lifestyle in Italy’s most bustling cities. Words like glamour, chic and trendy are readily splattered throughout their post, very much in the spirit of contemporary blogs, but what distinguishes their column from the masses is that the pair actually lead highly creative lives.
From fancy dress parties like the annual “Hallowood” Halloween party, in Milan, to a birthday party for Bruno Mars with Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce, they develop their network of inspirational characters and some of the most innovative individuals in the world of fashion and the arts.
Take a stroll with them and their gorgeous friends down to Piazza di Spagna, or grab a coffee at San Lorenzo in Lucina, Costantini and Ravieli will let you in on some of the cities’ best kept secrets. Ultimately, the goal is to enjoy life, be playful and dream of a better tomorrow as you work toward a greater future.
As all good roads lead to the city of Antonio Vivaldi, currently, Costantini is revising his final thesis in Venice, which is a restoration of a 700 year old Venetian villa in the island of Giudecca. Expect excellent work from this rising Venetian designer.
Costantini has share with Gloobbi his top ten items on his Wish List, on the link above, as he looks forward to this year’s holiday season.

P.ta Genova Milan



Me and Lilian going for a walk downtown Milan
we passed over the P.ta Genova bridge... I love it, I think it's such a nice location to shoot some streetstyle photos. Since I went to Milan the first time I've always liked to stop and take photos there!

JEREMY SCOTT 2012 PREVIEW



For the very end of 2011 here's sneak peek on Jeremy Scott 2012 Adidas collection… Hate it, or love it, that's the point of the matter, and well, I love it. I like to mix and match, and the sporty eccentric detail in my outfits is one of my favorite.

JS Wings shoes still make their way into the collection, one being in total denim and the other one with the american-flag motif. JS still doesn't give up on his "beast mood" … Take a look at the t-shirt wearing gorilla sneaker! 

As usual the elements of the collection are simplified and maximized at the same time… Fluo colors, animalier patterns and as a new entry the typical "three-lines" of adidas become a music sheet, with music notes all over… 

Rocking a very strong "American style" with humor and the usual outside the box creative mood, some pieces are really going to be objects of worship… 

Don't you think?

Analogic shots!



Hello people, I found a way to make you start this week with a smile... I mean, have you seen the header? ahah
I'm wishing you a great week with a bunch of analogic shots taken by me and my friends... It took me while to get them all, so here they are randomly collected in one post! 

Lately I'm being so busy with uni, working on several projects... No time to rest, but it's fine! All my days are full, but it feels ok, makes me feel alright with myself... :) 

So it's monday again, weeks are passing by so quickly, and it's almost Christmas... No time to go shopping for presents! 
Did you know that the Christmas eve eve (the 23th) is the busiest shopping day of the year?
No way I can avoid the Xmas eve final rush! Every year the same... 

I'm also thinking of a cute present for you my beloved followers... I'm working on that as well! 

Andrea ;)
