TRUE FASHIONISTAS' FASHION BLOG
EVERYTHING DENIM
As far as clothing goes, not much else is as timeless as denim. This wardrobe essential is a worldwide staple and is always in stock at Naples' best consignment store, True Fashionistas. We were ecstatic to see denim show up all over Spring 2022 runways, as the design world is again experimenting with denim trends. In this particular instance, those styles will live well past spring and into fall and winter because, yeah, denim!
HOME: 9 FALL INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS
Upon hearing the words "pumpkin spice" and seeing Halloween costumes in stores, all doubt is cast aside that fall is heading our way. Let's take a moment to check out the latest trends for your fall décor.

HISTORY OF SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
We're turning the True Fashionista lens downward this go-round to indulge our feet in the story of master footwear artisan Salvatore Ferragamo. Hollywood's most famous shoe designer, his designs are favored by top celebrities on the red carpet. They also have their place onscreen, most famously in a little movie about a girl from Kansas. Yes, Salvatore Ferragamo is the designer of Dorothy's legendary ruby red slippers in The Wizard of Oz! If you're as impressed as we are, you should check out other fine designs of his at Naples' best consignment store, True Fashionistas.

We love it when filmmakers give a nod to the artistic talents of fashion's haute couture creators, be it their somewhat complicated backstories (House of Gucci, 2021) or tragic endings (McQueen, 2018, the story of Alexander McQueen), plus many more over the years.
As fashion is ever-evolving, so are the stories about it. Here are some of the fashion-focused releases to be looking out for over the next few months, so you can plan accordingly and, you know, dress for the occasion!

FENDACE – THE GREAT SWAP
It’s a True Fashionista dream come true! Two of our fave Italian design Houses, Fendi and Versace, have decided to partner up for exclusive releases launching May 2022.
It’s so very refreshing to hear of this unique collaboration; rather than a power merger/takeover situation. Mutual admiration and respect have instead led to two unique, limited-edition fashion lines, born from two Houses that you can find in abundance at Southwest Florida’s largest lifestyle consignment store. You’ve got to love the name: Fendace!
HOW A PANDEMIC RESHAPED THE RESALE INDUSTRY
We’d like to think everything in the fashion industry is back to normal. The Met Gala properly happened on the first Monday in May. We’re out shopping again at our fave stores like the new 13,000 sq. ft. True Fashionistas consignment store, Naples, and we’re being as social as ever. Behind the scenes, however, two-plus years of COVID-19 has resulted in unexpected situations for the related industries of fashion, retail, and resale.
MET GALA 2022 CELEBRITY OVERVIEW AND THEIR DESIGNERS TOO
After being canceled in 2020 and pushed back to September in 2021, the 2022 Met Gala, with all its glitz and glamour in full resplendence, returned to its cherished First Monday in May with the dress code of “Gilded Glamour, White Tie.” To further explain, attendees were encouraged to approach late 19th-century clothing through a modern lens. Many of our cherished True Fashionista designers created one-of-a-kind attire to adorn the A-listers who attended the fundraiser of the year.
