Dress code se dnes již nepovažuje za omezení tvořivosti a individuality, nicméně k pochopení pravidel oblékání je stále zásadní, a to i v případě, že se je snažíme překročit. Tato kniha obsahuje souhrn klasických pravidel pánského oblékání upravených podle moderního vkusu a zároveň slouží jako záchytný bod pro docela nové a originální styly oblékání, jimiž muži každodenně usilují o pohodlí a eleganci. Text, jehož autorem je věhlasný italský odborník v oblasti současné módy Giuseppe Ceccarelli a který doprovází řada kvalitních fotografií, obsahuje mnoho svědectví a zkušeností skutečných přívrženců pánského oblékání, od generálních ředitelů přes úředníky a dělníky až po umělce a dandyovské šviháky. Zjistíme tak například, jakým způsobem tyto osobnosti přetvořily smoking, aniž by porušily jeho tradici, anebo jaký převrat zapříčinily úpravou obleku „formal attire“. Dozvíme se rovněž, že „zvláštní příležitostí“ k oblékání může být i nová pracovní pozice či změna životního stylu. Někteří muži vytvářejí svůj styl přirozeně a spontánně, pro jiné jde o pečlivé budování vlastní image. Tato příručka vám postupně odhalí smysl jednotlivých pánských dress codů a krok za krokem vás provede jejich současnými proměnami.

'See Naples and die', said Goethe. But Katherine Wilson saw Naples and started to live. Katherine is fresh out of college when she arrives in Naples to intern at the US Consulate. There she meets handsome, studious Salvatore, and finds herself enveloped by his family - in particular by his elegant mother, Raffaella, who begins her real education: never eat the crust of a pizza first, always stand up and fight for yourself and your loved ones, and remember that mealtimes are sacred. Immersed in Neapolitan culture, tradition and cooking, slowly and unexpectedly falling for Salvatore, and basking in Raffaella's company and guidance, Katherine discovers how to prepare meals that sing, from rich ragu to pasta al forno, with bacon, bechamel and four kinds of cheese. Through courtship, culture clashes, Sunday Mass, marriage and motherhood, Katherine slowly comes to appreciate carnale, the quintessentially Neapolitan sense of comfort and confidence in one's own skin. Steeped in sunlight, wine and unforgettable food, Only in Naples is a love letter to a city and a family, a coming-of-age story, and a transporting account of learning to live the Italian way. 'Katherine Wilson gives us more than the fabulous food of Naples. She offers us a passport to an exotic country we would never be able to enter on our own.' Ruth Reichl, author of My Kitchen Year
