LAST MONTH in the Salle Empire at the Hôtel de Paris, 90 exclusive examples of the new autumn-winter fur collection for 2009 by Carlo Ramello were on parade. A harmony of form and colour, and the suggestion of Hollywood style characterised the new JAP collection. Timeless and classic, yet extremely contemporary, these wonderfully soft, glamorous creations of Carlo Ramello are the fruit of precise research and strong attention to detail. For Ramello, his pieces are almost like works of art, fur sculptures which manage to emphasise both the lightness and depth of the garment. Designed to seduce, JAP Fourrure by Carlo Ramello in

Monte-Carlo is for many truly a 'Declaration of style', which integrates perfectly with the international style and the unbridled

luxury and glamour of the Principality itself.
