— Zhang Ziyi —

“Everything about Florence seems to be coloured with a mild violet, like diluted wine”, once wrote Henry James in a letter to a friend. As an indecipherable riddle, a rare vision, Zhang Ziyi strolls through Florentine streets with feline discretion uncovering the mysterious and hidden layers of historic secrecy and enigma. Effortless and spontaneous, her down to earth beauty lights up with joy for simple things: a per fect cappuccino, a delicious gelato, the smile of a passerby. Yin and Yang, white lilies and red lilies: here lies the cradle of timeless beauty.
