It is undisputed: nature is an inexhaustible source of wealth. It is no coincidence that it has always been the first inspirer of our Rossomenta collections and now that the summer is coming to life, the desire for contact with nature, the warmth of the sun and the regenerating power of color is increasingly making its way into our thoughts . So why not open the doors of our kitchen to them as well. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and been served a flowery dish? Nothing more current and at the same time ancient than the art of knowing how to combine the use of edible flowers that nature so generously offers us at this time of year with the preparation of food.

It's really not easy to imagine how many wild flowers fall into the category of edible ones. They range from primroses, orange blossoms, dandelions, pansies, calendula to the very common daisies, borage flowers or poppies. Their use in the kitchen is among the most varied. You can decide to use them raw to color a fresh salad, or to decorate a tasty risotto. If you prefer, you can choose instead to use them in more complex recipes such as for fillings for roasts, compotes to accompany cheeses and sauces for main courses (both meat and fish). They are even excellent for making frozen desserts and ice creams with completely original flavours.

Have fun learning to recognize them and look for the most original recipes (the web is full of them) to make edible flowers the surprise ingredient of your summer kitchen. Rediscover the richness of nature as a surprising source of great inspiration; because it is strength, color, optimism, joie de vivre...exactly the same spirit that pervades the garments of our Rossomenta Spring-Summer 2023 Collection. Come and discover them in one of our Boutiques and let their positive energy infect you.

Have you ever thought about the feeling you get in wearing real works of art? Certainly all fashion, in a broad sense, can be conceived as such as a work of ingenuity with a purely aesthetic character, the result of the genius of stylists.

Yet, in the vast universe of products that crowd the shop windows, there is a world apart reserved for accessories intended for ceremonies. Here the designer's inspiration can feel free to venture; here the very purpose of the garment gives way to beauty, of the one capable, by itself, of giving meaning to creation.

We at Rossomenta like to think of the ceremonial hat as a sculpture, capable of telling a lot about who created it and who chose it.

Whether it's a whimsical headband or a fascinating wide-brimmed hat, the ceremonial hat is more than a simple headdress and certainly cannot be trivially labeled as an "accessory". Alone it is able to attract all the attention of those who gaze at it, sometimes hiding behind skilful transparencies, sometimes enhancing, with graceful and daring shapes, the face of the wearer. It is a precious jewel that cannot be limited to simply being worn but needs to be interpreted.

Look for the Rossomenta boutique closest to you, come and try the evocative power of our ceremonial proposals and feel ready to convey all your charm with one of our creations designed for this period full of coronations, parties and open-air events.

Everything is ready for the 196th edition of the Corsa dell'Arno which will take place, as usual, this April 25th and it's not only the beautiful thoroughbreds who will compete for the trophy of the oldest gallop race in Italy, but also all the ladies and girls who will compete with their hats in the new edition of the "The most beautiful hat for Corri la Vita" competition.
Thus, once again, the sporting event will also be an opportunity to show off eccentric hats created by the fervent imagination and inspiration of the competitors in the race or to buy one that is the result of the skilful dexterity and originality of the stylists of us members of the prestigious Consorzio Il Cappello di Firenze, all under the banner of solidarity and renewed commitment alongside the Corri la Vita Association.
The appointment is for Tuesday 25 April from 2.30 pm at the Visarno "Cesare Meli" racecourse, in the wonderful setting of the Cascine park in Florence.
An afternoon of celebration dedicated to sport and elegance. An opportunity that we at Rossomenta cannot miss.

There are no more excuses: a Bucket Hat absolutely cannot be missing from your wardrobe!

For those who still have doubts about its comeback in style, this hat, which saw its birth in the early years of the last century in northern Europe and which after ups and downs has returned to great fashion only a few years ago under the strong impetus of the big luxury brands, does not seem to know any kind of awe towards the most famous models of headgear and is now an inevitable piece of all fashion collections worthy of the name.

Practical to wear, and very useful in all "passing" seasons, the "fisherman's" hat (literally "bucket hat") is perfectly capable of protecting you from the first rays of the sun as well as from sudden rains thanks to its flat brim too large and to the materials of which it is often made and which are immediately appreciated for their lightness and impermeability Undisputed symbol of the 90s street style, which saw it excel as an icon of the outfits of rap and pop music stars (who relaunched it officially after decades of oblivion), is now considered an absolutely versatile garment capable of combining both with romantic-flavored dresses, as well as long mid-season trench coats, as well as oversized cardigans and jackets or simply with beach costumes and long-sleeved shirts.

In short, an easy-to-match and highly trendy style companion that could only be present in numerous variations also in the Rossomenta collection for this Spring-Summer.

You just have to choose the model that best suits your style in one of our boutiques.
