She's undoubtedly fun but I think she is the fashion equivalent of a poet who thinks that writing poetry is about 'feeling' and 'subjectiveness' when in fact is a very precise art. Consequently she looks a mess. I can't comment on her editorship as I am not familiar with Italian Vogue but I am of the opinion that the unflashy, oft-overlooked Alexandra Shulman does the most professional job when it comes to this and Anna Wintour does a horrific job.

She looks like a mess, but I like it. You can't take her outfits too seriously. She definetily has her own, unique style.

Beauty Icon: Anna Piaggi

With her kiss-curled blue hair, pencil-ringed eyes, colorful canes, and fantastic hats, Italian Vogue's Anna Piaggi is unmistakable and unmistakably influential. Her fans range from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana to Another Magazine's Jefferson Hack to her pal Manolo Blahnik, who calls her "modern beyond belief." Another friend, Karl Lagerfeld, chronicled 12 years of the journalist and self-styled fashion diviner's "anna-chronistic" looks—think a navy-blue Balenciaga suit padded at the hips with the croissant-shape pannier of an opera singer, or a priceless Poiret coat worn over Missoni pajamas—in his 1986 tome, Lagerfeld's Sketchbook. What the designer called Piaggi's "appetit graphique" is equally evident in her witty magazine work. She's produced more than 7,000 editorial pages, and Vanity, an illustrated journal she curated in the early eighties, is cultishly collected. Now, with Fashion-ology, a Topshop-sponsored exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum through April 23, this muse and style icon is set to win a whole new set of followers.

She's one of my fashion heroes! Her style is so insane, and yet, incredibly chic. I will most def. be trying out that miniskirt-as-cape idea!
