Saying goodbye to 2025. Ready for 2026

Bonjour Fashion Lovers,

Shall we take stock of the year that is about to end?
Is it cliché? Maybe. But I want to do it anyway.

I feel ready to say goodbye to 2025 and welcome 2026.
And I’ll be honest with you: I can’t wait for 2025 to completely disappear.

The diagnosis of my “Silent Enemy” — with all that came with it — and the sudden change in the daily life of our number one Fashion Lover, my mamma Filomena, affected me deeply.

There were moments of withdrawal and total discouragement that I never imagined I would experience. And yet, I always got back up.

The support of Vanni, of my lifelong true friends, and of you — my community — helped me more than you can imagine.

Because if, on one hand, I went through dark moments, on the professional and social side I flew higher than ever before.

A fashion community that keeps growing, becoming more present and engaged — including on my second page dedicated to Fashion Bride (@elaweddingmag )
Invitations to Milan Fashion Week.
Prestigious collaborations with brands such as Ralph Lauren, Perrin Paris, Saks, Macy’s, and many, many others — my apologies to those I haven’t mentioned.



Fashion Pills that are increasingly loved.
A YouTube channel that still needs to grow and be supported — subscribe.
And a brand-new column on the site that is about to arrive (I won’t say more yet, there are still many details to define).

So yes, if life hit me hard on one side, on the other it gave me the strength to face those blows.

I don’t know what 2026 has in store for me.
But I know you will be there.

And that is enough for me to keep saying — and writing —
“Bonjour Fashion Lovers.”

Always fashion, always black, always Paris,
Emanuela
