    When we get dressed, we don't have to do it so much to wear something, but we have to choose the right fabrics, clothes for the right occasion and the exact match. This is why we present three fabrics that are always at the forefront in the world of fashion and everyday wear: silk, linen, cotton. These three fabrics are used purely in the summer and mid-season, giving a sense of freshness and lightness to those who wear them, therefore wearable all day without problems. In many cases they also dress for the evening, as far as linen and cotton are concerned, the situation is different for silk. You have always seen women and men use silk for style and sophistication in various types of outfits. Silk has an incredible history for how it was born, linen, a purely vegetable fabric, is the oldest of the three, cotton, with a very sad history behind it, for its harvesting in the plantations where it was originally grown. In short, a beautiful adventure within these three stories that will enrich you in the knowledge of these three fabrics.

    The first monograph on writer, journalist, and director Nora Ephron, the visionary behind When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail 
 
Nora Ephron at the Movies offers an unfiltered look at Ephron as a champion of the rom-com and as a feminist Hollywood trailblazer. It explores her life and work by pairing detailed criticism with exclusive interviews with Ephron’s key collaborators, including Andie MacDowell and Jenn Kaytin Robinson, to add color and nuance to her life and legacy. 
 
With her singular voice, Nora Ephron flourished as a dominant force in the entertainment industry, focusing on the idiosyncrasies of romance that were universally relatable. 
 
The women in her stories paralleled reality—the veil was lifted, the glossy sheen removed.  
 
Her protagonists share an unwavering sense of humor about life’s mishaps, and they never take themselves too seriously—like Julie trying to master the art of cooking lobsters in Julie & Julia, Sally’s theatrical fake orgasm in Katz’s deli in When Harry Met Sally, or Rachel perfecting a key lime pie only to throw it in her cheating husband’s face in Heartburn. 
 
Through her keenly self-aware humor and semi-autobiographical stories, Ephron left behind a groundbreaking legacy as a beloved journalist, essayist, screenwriter, author, producer, director, and feminist who delivered stories of resilience embedded in sharp wit and upper-crust landscapes. Through that lens, she became emblematic of rom-coms, shifting and redefining conversations around the complexities of relationships and the women who have them.
