Read MoreThe Slow Living Movement: Rejecting Chaos with Simplicity and Embracing Humanism
/
One of the key tenets of the slow living movement is mindfulness. It encourages individuals to fully engage with each experience and prioritize being present and connected to those around us.
In the past, Americans and Europeans just do not see a high-quality life in the same way. Slow living is just another word for laziness in the minds of many Americans.
However, in our post-COVID world, accompanied by growing climate violence, there are signals that American attitudes may be changing.
Even financial markets and consulting companies like McKinsey are watching Italian brands in particular, drilling down to two brands very important at Anne of Carversville: Brunello Cucinella and Loro Piana.
When Mr. Cucinelli, also known as the King of Cashmere, makes a speech about humanism and the ‘heart’ of a humanistic enterprise, by definition he is speaking in harmony with the slow living movement.

With Her ‘Plan de Paris’ Dior Vision, Maria Grazia Chiuri Triples Dior Revenues in 7 Years
/
Clearly the archival map print has achieved major status at Dior, as it rolls forward into fall with a major campaign.
Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri is simply the best of the luxury brand story tellers. On Monday, the creative director was profiled in WWD with that rare breakdown of financial information for a LVMH brand. I knew Dior has done very well, but not that Chiuri has tripled the Dior business in less than seven years. That’s extraordinary.
Tonight, October 24, WWD will present Chiuri with its John B. Fairchild Honor at an awards ceremony in New York City.
Can you imagine how much impact the ‘Plan de Paris’ print will have with the Paris 2024 Olympics? It’s so exciting to see a female creative director have such huge financial impact on one of the world’s premier luxury brands. Bravo Maria Grazia Chiuri!! You are an inspiration for us all. Thank you! ~ Anne

"Oh, Penelope! Oh, Rosalía!" Stellar Performance by Katie Burnett for Vogue Spain November 2023
/
Rosalía covers Vogue Spain’s November issue, styled and photographed in lush grandiosity by Katie Burnett [IG].
With candles, white birds and Louis Vuitton jewelry in the sink, it’s as if we’re entering an astral plane of being, postulated by classical, medieval, oriental, and esoteric philosophies and mystery religions.
“I hope that what I do makes sense to other women”
These words are a core message of the interview, which got me thinking about Rosalía using feminine energy to try to dilute the male energy that is so destructive right now. Everywhere we look, testosterone is raging and we need our own iron shield to repel it.
