Vespa: A taste of Italian Luxury


A girl can't help but dream about riding around a European metropolis with her arms wrapped around a gorgeous gentleman. It transcends the feeling of nostalgia from the classic movie Roman Holiday featuring style icon Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

Add some flair to your commute with a Vespa. The trendy transportation of choice. The first Vespa scooter was produced in Pontedera, Italy in 1946, and since then it has become a cultural symbol. The Vespa scooter has gained vast popularity throughout Europe and North America.

Recently, Vespa San Francisco teamed up with the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. They created a series of designer Vespas by designer students. Think of it as America's way of reinventing and praising Italian tradition in luxury transportation.




Planning a trip to Italy? If you're looking for a different traveling experience... why not explore Tuscany and Amalfi on a Vespa? Featured in Fortune Magazine, Italy by Vespa is a luxury tour that is perfect for those wanting to add some adventure to their vacation. There is a maximum of 14 people on the tour, and each person gets his own scooter. This all inclusive tour is 2,180.00 euros per person. If you want to taste la dolce vita, Italy by Ferrari is also a great option.

This mode of transportation also doubles as an accessory. If you're set on buying a scooter, Vespa offers a myriad of personalized options. It's a great way to express your style. Be chic, be elegant. Arrivederci!

That's Haute


Italian Sensuality

Milan is by far the sexiest and most risque fashion capital. I think for me, Italian fashion means extremely well tailored clothing that fits your body as if it were second skin. Rich colors and brights prints are an Italian staple. Just think Versace with murderous cocktail dresses that skim the body perfectly. Roberto Cavalli makes gaudy chic. Dolce and Gabbana's bustier dress really sums up Italian fashion for me, as does a mini Pucci dress or scarf paired with over sized sunglasses. The main things to take from the Italians is that it's all in the fit, don't be scared of prints (but make sure they are luxe), and last but not least head to toe black, navy, plum or any midnight shade for that matter is a very fabulous thing.
