Piazza del Colosseo 1,
00184 Roma, Italia
The largest elliptical Amphitheatre ever built, the paramount wonders of architecture, Gerard Butler’s office in Rome, the principal landmark on GOOGLE map, and the living proof of faith and cruelty in human history.
From Audrey Hepburn’s Roman Holidays, from Giovanni Paolo Panini’s oil paintings, from Roman and Greek Mythology, from Latin language seminar, even from the American short story Roman Fever by EDITH WHARTON, COLOSSEO, COLOSSEUM in modern English, has been capturing my fugue since childhood. Deciding to take the adventure to Roma, with cousin Jenny, in despite of my previous concerns on the security of the City of Eternity, it is our collective agreement that Roma is one of the best travelling destinations to come, to see, to conquer.
Our history tour guide Federico is a full-time archaeologist, unfortunately trying very best to dress down as a homeless. From his description, that Roma is a city in similarity of lasagna: the layering constructions presenting each epoch of the glory; the city was built with magnificent marbles, solid rocks and pure perseverance. Therefore, In order to survive the day tour from Roma FORUM to COLOSSEO under the burning hot autumn sunlight, and for the contrast to the colour of brownish COLOSSEO, my outfits of the day at Colosseo are H&M AC/DC 100% cotton tee and ZARA high-waist black 100% denim, in fast-fashion casual outlook still keep high voltage spirit from one of my favourite Hard Rock bands, AC/DC, for the metaphor of their Rock or Bust album to signify COLOSSEO.
H&M Summer Collection usually collaborates with rock and roll bands to release the affordable 100% recycled or organic cotton tees with authorized logo or album cover prints, which captures high attentions around the globe. My second AC/DC H&M Summer Collection cotton tee owns its vintage beige tone with classic logo (as well my first worn at TUSKA FESTIVAL), a lighting in between, is a tribute design to AC/DC eighth studio album, For Those About to Rock We Salute You, in 20 November 1981, for such an surprising coincidence, this date is (almost) exact of my very own birthday.
As for bottom wear, Made in Bangladesh, Zara high-waist straight jeans provide the airy space between the denim and skin, to prevent from the possible humidity to cause the uncomfortable stickiness. The vintage copper buttons decorated on the slightly bleak-grey tone of denim fabric, perfectly match the brownish ancient elliptical Amphitheatre.
CHANEL 25mm sling backs with black shining tweet are the ideal travel essentials, for their elegance and comfy, especially a full-length straight jeans shall match with rather girly silhouette than the bulky sneakers. YSL classic round-shape sunglasses are the must-carry during the city tour; the iconic golden logos stand still on the edge of les cadre, and indeed amplify the details of design.
DIOR Pochette CEINTURE SADDLE in oblique jacquard is one of my favourite souvenirs from Paris Rue de Royale boutique. J’ADIOR bracelet set is the last-minute decision at ISTANBUL ZORLU Centre. The hallmark Dior Oblique bracelets are in navy blue with embroidered cotton, its adjustable with handmade tassel cords can be worn in singular or stacked. And no doubt, together with DIOR SADDLE, they are all Made in Italy!
For Those About to Rock, We Salute You.
TOP TIP 1: Choose one size up cotton tee to allow the skin to breathe and as well create a casual rock look
TOP TIP 2: Carry le sac on the chest or on the waist for the safety, and always carry a cotton tote bag on the road
Special Thanks: Jenny
