  • Marco Rambaldi SS24 'Malafemmina'

    Written by Fashion Tales

    Another season, a new choice. With Malafemmina, Marco Rambaldi addresses the concept of freedom, starting from what has been to arrive at what will be. For this Spring/Summer 2024 Malafemmina, Marco Rambaldi turns a derogatory term into positive in the world we live in, which is afraid of  bold and free women.

    A hymn to taking everything they deserve and even more, in being who they want and in doing everything possible to achieve their goals. Marco Rambaldi’s woman is a bad girl (Malafemmina in Italian) who moves freely between satin sheets and the desire to conquer the world just like Modesta, the protagonist of The Art of Joy, Goliarda Sapienza’s masterpiece. She is ready to do anything for freedom and a better life, she is not afraid of being a creature beyond gender. He’s a man and a woman at the same time.

    If in the Fall/Winter 23 Rambaldi explored the people of the night, in this summer we find ourselves in the twilight which becomes a hybrid place where we can be other, different, free. A place of seduction where boundaries blur. The imagery of southern Italy is present in the collection in a transversal but never literal manner. The sunlight is filtered through crochet hooks and creates a romantic shadow on the recycled nylon tulle. One of the most characteristic prints of the collection is made of pendants which combine elements of the Christian religion such as crucifixes mixed with symbols of love, the profane and emotional sphere of the human being.

  • MAMBO - A Vibrant Culinary Journey in Palma de Mallorca

    Written by Jahwanna Berglund

    Mambo, nestled in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, is a culinary haven that takes diners on a delightful journey of Mediterranean flavours with a twist.

    Owned and runned by Brazilian chef Gabriel Conti and his charming wife, Elena Gil, this is a gem on the Palma restaurant map.

    With stylish decor. A mix of modern and rustic elements and an overall relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant boasts an expansive outdoor seating area, which offers stunning views of Palma's picturesque streets.
    The staff at Mambo deserve special praise for their warm and genuine hospitality and attentiveness. From the moment we were seated, I was greeted with a smile and promptly presented with a menu. The waiters were knowledgeable about the dishes, offering insightful recommendations. Throughout the meal, they were attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall pleasant dining experience.
    Mambo's menu boasts an enticing selection of dishes that showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine with a creative twist. The fusion of local produce and international influences made each dish a delightful surprise. I started with the Avocado Russian salad that was topped with shredded egg and the grilled Razor clams , which was a harmonious blend of flavours. For the secondi, me and my company shared the baby squids from Galicia. Galicia is located in the northwest Iberian Peninsula and is known for their way of serving octopus. For the main course, we opted for the Filet Mignon with Perigord sauce and the Grilled High Loin , a rich and aromatic masterpiece that transported my taste buds to the south of France. Matched with perfectly cooked mashed potatoes, a true symphony of flavours.
    The restaurant also offers a commendable variety of vegetarian and vegan options, providing a welcoming space for diverse dietary preferences.
    Mambo's dessert selection was a delightful finale to the meal.
    The Curd Apple Cheesecake was a true highlight, with its tangy lemon curd, fluffy meringue, and buttery pastry. It was a refreshing and light option to end the meal on a sweet note.


    While the quality of the dishes and the overall dining experience at Mambo justify the prices, it leans towards the higher end, making it more suitable for special occasions or indulgent outings. Nonetheless, the innovative culinary offerings and top-notch service make it a worthwhile splurge for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable dining experience in Palma de Mallorca.
    In conclusion, Mambo undoubtedly lives up to its reputation as a top dining destination in Palma de Mallorca. With its vibrant ambiance, diverse menu, and impeccable service, the restaurant offers a memorable culinary journey that is sure to please food connoisseurs and casual diners alike. If you find yourself in Palma and have an appreciation for creative Mediterranean cuisine, Mambo is a must-visit to satiate your cravings.
