La ricetta dello Stile
di Cristina Mania
Ufficio, brunch, aperitivo, cena di lavoro. Essere perfette in ogni momento della giornata, si può. E da Scapa Roma l’eleganza sporty chic è l’unica tendenza che da 50 anni non passa di moda.
Simplicity, good taste and naturalness with which clothes are worn. These are the ingredients of elegance according to Maria Grazia Virzi, who has been translating them for years into a style recipe in the name of Scapa Roma, historic Capitoline boutique at number 58/59 of the central Via Vittoria, a few steps from the Spanish Piazza. Here prevail the care with which every single piece of clothing is made. Clothes that last in time following the trends of the moment without give up that country chic taste that has been the stylistic signature of the brand for half a century. Thus, the strong men’s cottons of the jackets marry the feminine silks of the blouses, combining – perhaps – with palazzo pants that descend softly on the legs. Everything declined in the nuances of the season: from bright corals to desert sand hues, without renouncing the timeless blacks and blues, to be combined with sailor stripes. All seasoned with the frock coat, the brand’s iconic garment but also a passpartout piece for the modern woman, active and dynamic, who wants to feel perfect from the ofce to the aperitif or evening dinner. Thanks to its tight line, its precious deerskin inserts and the care taken in its finishes, that make this coat the true must for the wardrobe, to feel perfect on every occasion. Just change the accessory, and you’re done! Because fashion, after all, is what allows us to continue playing even as adults.
