Vogue Japan October 2011
Last month’s Vogue Japan featured a DiCesare Designs Pumpkin umbrella in a very elegant photo shoot for Bally’s 160th anniversary! In this wonderful recreation of an Bally poster from 1956, the model is shown holding a yellow DiCesare Designs Rhythm Ladies’ Pumpkin umbrella. Congratulations go to Bally for such a prestigious legacy!
DiCesare Designs Craftsmanship
I don’t write about them much but I’d like to thank them now. The craftsmen we work with in Kyoto have been making DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols for almost 8 years now. Their techniques have been crucial in developing new items and producing a limited edition series of high quality umbrellas and parasols. Without their combination of experience, pride and creativity, this series would not have been possible. Thank you! Wait till you see the new items they have come up with to be released in the near future!
Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella in Old Montréal
Once again I was able to visit my favorite city. Montréal. Every time I go, I find something new to love about this wonderful city. This time was no different. The food was wonderful and the people friendly. While there, Hurricane Irene rolled into town. It was quite the storm. Seeing this as an opportunity, we went out into the streets of old Montréal to do a photo shoot with the Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrellas! The weather conditions were extreme but we got some beautiful shots. The Rhythm Pumpkin Umbella withstood the Hurricane force winds beautifully as well. Elegance under pressure.
Pumpkin Parasol and Parashell Parasols on the Marilyn Denis Show!
The Pumpkin Parasol and Parashell parasol made an appearance on the Marilyn Denis show! The show was about staying toxic free in the outdoors this summer. Donna Bishop enjoyed posing with the Pumpkin Parasol while Marilyn called it the “next big thing”!
The Rhythm Pumpkin Umbrella on the streets of Ginza.
I would like to thank all my customers for their patronage this year. It was a tough year in so many ways but I met so many nice people at all the events! I was lucky enough to see a customer of mine on the streets of Ginza this summer carrying the Rhythm 2 tone Pumpkin umbrella in Lavender and Dark Purple. Stylish and cute to say the least!
Pumpkin Parasol at F1 Grand Prix in Valencia!
My good friend Monica from Spain sent me this shot of a Pumpkin Parasol at this year’s F1 Grand Prix in Valencia! I’m an F1 fan of sorts so I was really happy to see it. Mucho gracias Monica!
Shiseido the Ginza – DiCesare Designs Parasol & Umbrella Display
All this month, if you drop by Shiseido the Ginza, you can see a special installation using a series of Parasols and Umbrellas on the main floor of the building. I love it when umbrellas are installed somewhere in this way. I was really glad to see this one. Especially at such a special shop like Shiseido the Ginza!
Pumpkin Umbrella Bouquet!
I would like to say thank you to all of the wonderful people I met at Matsuya Ginza for coming out this past month and picking up my items. Thank you also to those who just came by to chat for a while too! It was a long, wonderful show. This is how to properly display a bunch of Rhythm-Pumpkin Umbrellas.
Pumpkin Umbrellas at Matsuya Ginza 2011
Today was the first day of the the Matsuya 100 Umbrella Exhibition show. The weather was not so nice making it a good day to pick up a nice umbrella! Like the Kabocha Marina Parasol (Navy Dots & Stripes) or a Rhythm Palette Umbrella. They both have UV and Waterproof coating making them great for a Rainy or Sunny day. Heck, these handmade Pumpkin Umbrellas are good ANY day!
