I grew up in Perugia, Umbria, in a world outside of fashion, so I didn't learn about it until I was older and moved away. In Milan, the women are really into fashion, and all the big fashion brands are based there, but I don't think they feel pressure to look good all the time.

Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.
For a few thousand years, women had no history. Marriage was our calling, and meekness our virtue.

Decorously or defiantly, we now approach what surely qualifies as the final frontier.
Most women are one man away from welfare.
In it not easy to remain rational and normal mentally in such a setting where, even in our airport in Montgomery, there is a white waiting room...
