Tomorrow is the big day (the Royal Wedding April 29), and Italian fashion designer Alberta Ferretti is to dress Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. While Kate Middleton will be the centre of attention, Chelsy Davy will wear two Alberta Ferretti designs - one for the ceremony and the other for the evening celebrations.

The first dress from the Italian designer to be worn by Chelsy will be a satin number with an acqua green silk jacket to match. If these drawings are anything to go by, it will crossover at the front with wide shoulders and will have a demure length below the knee. Chelsy’s royal wedding evening dress will be a full length, off-the-shoulder design in midnight blue crepe.

The Italian patriotic and marketing dream of Valentino Rossi riding in Ducati starts this year, and it has recently been announced that Italian fashion label, Diesel, will be part of the Ducati sponsorship team. It marks a three-way marriage of Made in Italy-ness and the world of motorcycling should be made to fit the world of fashion, or vice versa. In fact, it probably doesn’t matter. In any case, the Diesel mohican logo will feature on the bikes and leathers of Valentino Rossi and teammate Nicky Hayden. In a little twist, the Diesel Italian brand was established by Renzo Rossi, although he is not any relation to the Italian rider. Rossi is an extremely common surname in Italy so it’s a bit like them both being called Smith, which is less sexy to our mind - in contrast to what Valentino will look like if he gets to sport some of the label’s funky and expensive streetwear. Could we see the umbrella girls in Diesel as well? That is definitely an interesting prospect for the boys….

Italian brand Missoni has just opened a new boutique in Los Angeles; designed by talented Marzorati Ronchetti, the boutique with its facade in painted aluminium is quintessentially Missoni; the hallmarks of the brand are the same today as they always have been (and can be felt as soon as you step inside): love of simplicity, passion for technology and, of course, a fine craftsmanship.
