A Brit-girl on vacation in New York. Luca Daniele mixed two worlds apparently similar for the common original heritage and culture, but in reality very different: sophisticated and nonchalante the elegance of suits and shirt-dresses from the Big Apple, with a bit of snobbish irony the traditional tartan and the trench coats perfect for the London fog.
