AIR, FIRE, EARTH AND WATER: a dream with the four elements
Sandals, pumps, decolleté and flat shoes form four different collections, each inspired by one of the elements. Air, fire, earth and water take shape in symbols and become integral parts of the shoes, with fascinating and unusual uses for colours and materials. Natural leather, hi-tech materials, precious pythons, and shiny patents blend seamlessly together, endowing each model with something uniquely appealing. The colours truly light up with strong shades and fluo nuances such as fuchsia or electric blue. Of course, there is also the classic blue, now a mainstay of Alberto Guardiani's colour palette.
The array of structures is very broad, from ultra flat sandals to super high pumps. The true protagonist of the collection is the creative "Madonna" shoe. This musk shoe, symbol of the House of Guardiani, also manages to be a plateau through an abstract graphic effect. Musk is also the common element for the models with light blue soles and the plateaus.
The wind takes to new heights the inspiration for a line dedicated to the symbol of a generation, namely the K-WAY. Cheeky, gaudy fluo nuances, mirror patents, multicoloured zippers, hi-tech details, such as strap fasteners or drawstring stoppers, reflective fabric. These are the hallmarks of the famous ‘80s windbreaker that is back in an ironical and sensual way. Flat shoes and sandals mix typically sporty details with elements, such as the stiletto heel and the plateau, that are quintessentially feminine and seductive.
Dive into the pristine water of faraway lands, with the SKUBA collection, which steals the secrets of the underwater world. Neoprene, the key material for wetsuits, is the iconic material used for pumps and sandals with strong colours: fuchsia, electric blue and orange. Each detail is reminiscent of the underwater world: the coloured plastic zippers, the upholstered brims, the contrasting borders, rubber and reflective heels, and the accessories, in metal and plastic, showing the logo.
The warm atmosphere of the savannah brings strong emotions to the SAFARI-MILITARE line. Asymmetrical cuts, reminiscent of military outfits, create interesting effects on shoes decorated with buttons and ironic medals. The snake, a sensual and hypnotizing king of Africa, is the inspiration for the models made of precious python.
A touch of naughty disrespect comes with the sandals and pumps that reproduce military camouflage outfits with leather patchworks or using silk scarves with gritty patterns that wrap around the feet, highlighting the contours. The colours are taken from earthly nuances: warm like the dusty green or gold of the African plains, intense like the blue sky of the savannah.
The CASINO ROYALE collection is spectacular and dangerously attractive, just like fire. Sheer luxury, inspired by the riches of the world's most famous casinos. Pumps and sandals with simple lines made in black and blue satin are decorated with precious Swarovski in all sorts of shapes, customised chips, coloured stones, and gaming dice highlighted by small brilliants. These are refined, unique and irresistible shoes, to be coveted for indisputably unique moments.
Alberto Guardiani's Spring/Summer 2010 Women's collection is presented by KULT Shoes store in TZUM.
The fragrances of Aries
People find Aries as cheerful, energizing and stimulating persons. Nothing can substitute Aries at a party. As the people born under the zodiac of Aries are so joyful, the fragrance should be impressive, bold and individual. Choose anything but sweet romantic scent.
This sign is related to the head and Aries are often prone to headaches, migraine, catarrh, sinusitis and other problems affecting the head. Fortunately, all these conditions respond very well to aromatherapy treatments. The planet associated with Aries is Mars and is fiery in nature. Thus it is wise to look to Mars plants and essential oils in order to restore some of their innate energy. These are typically fiery ones such as Black Pepper or Ginger.
Conversely, when an Aries person is agitated or stressed, the soothing effect can be brought by using oils ruled by Venus such as Rose and Geranium. Ariens are also vulnerable to fevers and inflammations which need to be cooled down by using Moon-related oils such as Camomile or Melissa.
If you are an Aries who is prone to depression, Sun oils are most helpful as they bring the fire element in a gentler way. The Sun in recognized as the ruler of the resins: Benzoin, Frankincense and Myrrh, all of which have warming properties along with their calming and meditative properties. The ‘happy oils', Bergamot and Orange also belong to this category and are great anti-depressants.
