Fad*ish- fashion and design

If Paris is the most romantic place in the world, then Venice is the most alluring -- filled with dark corners for doing dark deeds. One of our Jil Diplomats has submitted his pictorial report on Venice’s 2007 Carnival. This event takes place every year, 8 days before lent, which means it usually fall sometime early February. It is a festival of masks, colors, and the back drop of Venice couldn’t be more enticing. It is no secret that this city is a favorite in Italy. But a word to the worldly traveler: you might want to be close with your stair master before you go because this city has a ton of bridges, no public transportation (except water traffic), and a whole lot of walking. Putting all of that aside, movies never do Venice justice so I suggest you just hop a flight and bear it. The people are lovely, the scenery is break-taking, there is art around every corner, and when the sun sets it becomes magical.
