209. Budva, one of the Pearls of the Mediterranean Sea!
By now you should know of my great passion for sailing! A passion begun with a small ten meter cabin cruiser… I used to spend the weekend on it with my children, Cristiana and Tomaso…
A passion that led me to sail around the Mediterranean sea several times. But only recently, because of a technical problem with Freedom, have I discovered one of the pearls of the Mediterranean, Budva.
August 2011… Adriatic sea… I was sailing off the Montenegro coast when the sophisticated Bat-zodiac dashboard alerted me of a technical problem with the engines… nothing serious thankfully, but I decided to put in to port to verify the nature of the fault.
I checked the nautical maps and found that the nearest port was Budva. I set the GPS and pointed the bow in that direction…
Budva, a lovely little town – one of the oldest on the Adriatic Sea with its 3500 years of history – is wedged between the mountains and the sea… with inviting sandy beaches…
Budva has become my secret hideaway, since then I have returned several times… this year I was invited to a fashion show entirely dedicated to my fashion.
I leave Sardinia and after a short flight I land at Tivat airport which is only 10 km from Budva. I make a quick stop at the hotel before heading to the press conference. As always, the journalists ask me a lot of questions about my collections… about myself and I realize that everyone reads my blog!
I have a little time before the event tonight so I decide to take a walk along the seafront… an aperitif… some pictures…
A fabulous evening… held in the main square in front of the old town of Budva… I presented my latest collection spring/summer 2013 and a retrospective of the most beautiful dresses of the last fifteen years.
The next day is dedicated entirely to exploring the area and discovering the wonderful colors and hues of Montenegro… who knows, maybe my next collection will be inspired by these places…
People here give me a very warm welcome… unpretentious people… genuine… but unfortunately I have to return to Milan. My many commitments do not allow me to spend a few more days in this beautiful land that is Montenegro…
Vi abbraccio…
I LOVE YOU

209. Budva, una delle Perle del Mediterraneo!
Ormai conoscete la mia grande passione per la navigazione! Una passione iniziata con un piccolo cabinato di dieci metri… ci passavo i miei fine settimana con Cristiana e Tommaso…
Una passione che mi ha portato a circumnavigare il Mediterraneo diverse volte, ma solo recentemente e in seguito ad un problemino tecnico con Freedom, ho scoperto una delle perle del Mediterraneo, Budva.
Agosto 2011, mare Adriatico, mi trovo al largo del Montenegro quando i sofisticati strumenti del Bat-gommene mi allertano di un problema tecnico ai motori, niente di grave per fortuna, ma preferisco dirigermi verso terra per verificare la natura del guasto.
Consulto le carte nautiche e il porto più vicino è quello di Budva, imposto il GPS e punto la prua verso Budva…
Budva è una località incantevole, una delle più antiche del mare Adriatico con i suoi 3500 anni di vita, incastrata fra le montagne e il mare con le spiagge di sabbia finissima…
Budva è diventato il mio rifugio segreto, da allora ci sono ritornato diverse volte… quest’anno sono stato invitato a una sfilata interamente dedicata alla mia moda.
Lascio la Sardegna e dopo un breve volo giungo all’aeroporto di Tivat che dista solo 10 Km da Budva. Un veloce salto in hotel prima di recarmi alla conferenza stampa. Come sempre i giornalisti mi fanno un sacco di domande sulle mie collezioni… sulla mia vita e mi rendo conto che tutti leggono il mio blog!
Ho un po’ di tempo a mia disposizione prima dell’evento di questa sera e lo dedico passeggiando sul lungomare… aperitivo… qualche foto…
La fantastica serata si è svolta nella caratteristica piazza di fronte alla città vecchia di Budva… ho presentato la mia ultima collezione primavera/estate 2013 e una retrospettiva degli abiti più belli degli ultimi quindici anni.
Il giorno seguente l’ho interamente dedicato a visitare i dintorni e a scoprire i meravigliosi colori e le tonalità del Montenegro… chissà forse la mia prossima collezione sarà ispirata proprio da questi luoghi…
Ho trovato una calorosa accoglienza… gente semplice… genuina… ma ora devo purtroppo rientrare a Milano, i tanti impegni non mi permettono di passare ancora qualche giorno in questa splendida terra che è il Montenegro…
Vi abbraccio…
I LOVE YOU
