What a lucky girl I am! I was invited for a private walk through to pre-view the new Miss March Collection before the opening cocktail at the sumptuous boutique Monte-Carlo Forever in the Metropole Shopping centre; sparkling moments literally throwing me back to my younger years when I took on the creative direction of my family brand Vicedomini – an exciting mix between flash-back and déjà-vu.

The beauty, freshness and passion that super young designer Michelle Marozzi exudes are perfectly reflected in her Made in Monaco creations. You can certainly see sophistication and femininity, yet her style is clean, well defined and easy at the same time.

She refers to the aesthetic of trendy teens and targets fashionistas in their 20s, although I feel fully entitled to state that her fashion covers much more than youngsters thanks to the distinguished choice of all things white, simple, neat lines, tartans and coloured tweeds, which definitively applies to all ages. It is timeless.

Such a talent and success-to-be is not surprising when you consider she speaks four languages perfectly, studied fashion marketing and BA Global Management in London, and her mother studied at Maranogoni’s in Milan and had a career as a designer and buyer working for many Italian maisons.

Armed with such a seducing background, Michelle could have easily been tempted to go big on opulent designs. Instead, she doubles down on practicality and designs everything wearable.

Last season in general was so much about colour and volume in those big dresses that I almost rejected the idea of fully accepting the trend while assisting the main shows in Milan and Paris.
Flicking through Miss March’s best sellers, I was captured by the simplicity of pieces you can wear in the day and will take you right through to the evening.

My favourite? The midnight blue and black two pieces options, shorts or pleated skirts, developed in cotton tartan or monochrome tweeds, pulled in at the waist with sculptural cropped tops, that can be hushed up for evening with precious accessories.

I can see the street-style set on young beauty queens wearing high–waisted culottes with knee-high boots, or sophisticated young mums dressing it down with flats or pic sandals.
