Look of the Week - Chiara Cocol Getting Ready for Spring/Summer 2020

Chiara Cocol is COOL ! She learned the business from her mom who used to manufacture shirts only for 40 years.

Any fine dress with a Gold or Fishnet jacket thrown over your shoulders will do the trick. For a stronger effect you may even dress...
