Leon Kammer asked:


Tourists flock to Italy from all over the world; in love with the history, the food, the culture and the fashion, not necessarily in that order, depending on individual taste.

We know that when it comes to fashion and style or “bella figura” as the Italians like to call it, translated it means a good image and Italy can certainly boast designers like Armani, Versace,Dolce Gabbana,Gucci, Prada,just to name a few,not forgetting the famous shoe brands,like Ferragamo,Tods,Magli,where the Italians excel,both in style and craftsmanship,you can’t beat Italian shoe wear; that’s why you’ll find Italian clothing and shoes a major export to every corner of the globe: brand names that have become a household word,wherever you go.

For the Italian, particularly in Rome, on an everyday basis, style comes naturally and not something that’s talked about too much, it’s just the way it is; well dressed to the Italian  means dressing correctly for the occasion,which means a big no to the jogging suit being worn in the street, something that has become totally acceptable to the rest of the world.

For the Roman,however,whether a secretary,a regular working person or a professional it’s all about style and presence; as the day begins,decked out from head to foot.

The only place you’ll see a jogging suit is in the gym and even there,the code is to arrive in style and leave in style, never missing a beat. They know how to wear and strutt their stuff with a minimum of fuss; it seems to come naturally,the jacket, the scarf, the hair, the boots, the handbag, accessorized perfectly stating, “I have arrived”

Even the female cop directing the traffic in Rome’s Piazza Venezia looks like a ex supermodel,in full makeup and long blond hair flowing out from under her cap.

Where did all this style originate from: perhaps it’s the almost three thousand  years of history, influenced by the Emperors who entered the Senates with such pride receiving overwhelming crowd recognition or the Roman soldiers in their splendid gold suited armor and head wear, proud to be part of the Roman Empire.

So is the rest of the world too casual? Have countries like America, Australia or England taken “casual Friday” or the “track suit” too far?

What created that kind acceptability in these countries and why would people NOT want to look their best, when to the Italians it’s not even a question.”It’s not important”, you might say, but let’s face it,they look better.

But how can they afford to dress that way, you may ask? It’s not about money, it’s about taste and having a good eye. Firstly however you need to care how you present

The truth is that brands like Armani, Prada, Gucci, Cavalli are not what the Italians buy; these are for the tourists in the landmark fashion strip of Rome’s  Via Condotti, which runs from the Spanish Steps right to the main street of Via Del Corso and it’s there where you’ll find every flagship designer store and opulant jewelery from Bulgari to Cartier, tourists lining up from Japan to Russia, walking out with huge bags of the latest fashion goodies,excited to wear the latest look from the house of Vercasi back home.”do I look Italian”

The Romans are not the clients that visit Via Condotti.They are not concerned with name brands and they don’t own an abundance of clothes.

What they own is a few good pieces, not necessarily expensive; affordable and elegant, and they know how to put it all together, with the right accessories being the foremost important items, usually purchased outside the historic center in shopping strips where style and quality can be purchased at a fraction of the prices paid in the center.

Also there are many outlet shops that sell end of season high quality merchandise for far less than you would expect to pay in town and the truth is that these shopping malls and shopping strips are usually just thirty to forty five minutes away like Colle Di Rienzo in Rome, a street full of stores, running from Piazza Del Popolo to the Vatican in Rome, just minutes on foot from the center, or the Castel Romano Outlet where you’ll find most labels at half price; thirty minutes by car, from the center of Rome.

So before you embark on a fashion shopping spree, find out about the Malls,the Outlets and where the people go.

You may just find the item that will may you look good for less and join the “bella figura” set.

While your in Italy, maybe in Rome or Florence being thrifty with your fashion purchases, you might also consider the type of Italian accommodation you’ll choose.

Italian apartment accommodation seems to be the new way in Europe where the hotels can become very costly; after all what you save on accommodation in Italy may just leave you some extra for that new jacket.

If you’ve got a jewelery business and you’re selling pieces of your jewellery items at craft shows, then you will have attention-grabbing designs for your jewelries on view. Fundamentally, when you display your home made jewelries, you’re marketing them to the public. But often you find it tough to be subjective especially when you often see your jewelry booth and display just the same as it was before. Then it’s time for you to have a jewellery display update. In this fashion, you may be expecting more sales from your new and creative jewellery displays.

it isn’t straightforward to select whether you’ve got to update your jewellery display or not, considering that you have just invested such a lot of time and energy in creating and presenting your items. One way to have a look at your booth display objectively is to use your camera during your craft show. In your spare time, take many footage of your jewellery items at your booth from different angles. If you’ve got a show of polymer clay jewellery, take four or 5 different footage of the same display. Bring the photographs back to your home and spread it out on a surface where you can objectively observe them. If you find out that all your displays are not eye-catching, then you’ve got to make a step to raise your potential sales.

if you are still not convinced with what the photos tell you, ask an objective opinion from your mate or from an affiliate of your folks. Inspire them to go to your booth and ask them for some feedback or offers. In this way, you’ll be able to obtain fresh and fair criticisms from your display that you have not spotted all the while.

Think of the possible methods to get fresh ideas that will help you update your jewelry displays more effectively to draw in more purchasers. Think about your layout, are all of your jewelry designs just put on the table, try separate each different style so they stand out more. Having your cameos mixed together with your teenage jewelery designs wont highlight either of them and you may lose sales.

Grab the opportunity to take some concepts on attention-grabbing displays from other craft booths however be sure to ask for authorisation first. Know the rationale why other booths attract more consumers. Study all the photos you have taken and try to determine the engaging features of each booth that yours doesn’t have.

there are other systems to get more jewelry display concepts to raise your sales such as visiting some furniture and interior design stores, local art studios, crafter malls, and antique malls. It’d be better if you will be permitted to take some photos of their display. This could just need a day for you to try this task and return to your home with some engaging and useful ideas for your new jewelry displays.

try to visit also your nearest local bookstores and read some interior design mags. There are tons of display companies that have online sites to serve as references. You can scan the Net for online forums about crafts and jewellery selling, and read some successful booth design blog write-ups.

It is always a smart call to update your jewelery display in the right interval, particularly when you’re beginning to fall off in sales. If you are showing your jewelry items in the same demeanour more often, prospective buyers will simply become bored. Remember, folks always wish to have a fresh and original jewellery trend. Always be prepared and be assured to display those crowd pleasing pieces of jewelries to catch potential buyers’ attention. Another great way to keep people returning to your display is to supply them some free literature, some inexpensive printouts of straightforward strategies, like how to make a button bracelet. They are much more likely to get from you if you offer them the the easy way to do it instructions as well as give the materials.
