Yes, it's only been a day since i last posted, but when i've got the blogging spirit, i kind of have to post. So, here i am again with what i hope is going to be an interesting post. :)I've always been fascinated by Anna Piaggi ever since reading about her in my personal fashion bible 'The Cheap Date's Guide to Style'. And when i saw this picture on the Satorialist I felt the need to find out more. So here it is, the first ever Fashion Biography to ever grace the posts of Fashionyou.
Anna Piaggi is an international writer and stylist, and her articles have been shown on the pages of Italian Vogue in which she has been the creative consultant since 1988, and Vanity Fair. However, she is more often recognised for her eccentric taste in stile and always unique hair and makeup. According to the V&A she has an amazing 2865 dresses. She has been associated with Manalo Blahnik, Karl Lagerfeld and Stephen Jones.
And here are a few questions asked to her by The Telegraph in 2006:
Who are your favourite designers of the moment? I like Dolce & Gabbana and Rifat Ozbek. Also John Galliano, because he's a designer whose clothes create their own mood. I've recently rediscovered Chanel, who I used to wear years ago. I particularly like the collections they make for Japan, full of such stunning patterns and colours. I've also rediscovered Missoni, the clothes are made with such craft. And I like the modernism and discipline of Prada.
What have been your biggest fashion indulgences? Hats (by either Philip Treacy or Stephen Jones), gloves (from Missoni Men, with cutout fingers - I wear them while I'm working and with matching nail varnish) and walking canes (from Madeleine Gély, 218 blvd St Germain, Paris).
Truly an icon...
Have a nice day everyone.
Molly xo.
P.s-> Please note the kind donation of Kamel from Style&TheCity who invited me to use his photo scroll box thing. His pictures really are amazing.

She rocks. I agree, an inspiration and icon. We need more originals like her.
What a lovely post! Thanks for this :)
It's always great to see crazy style like hers. I love that she has all these fancy elements to her dress, like hats and walking canes.
I love how she doesn't abide to anyone else's rules. Its such fashion audaciousness that is most inspiring.

I lovelove the cheap guide.
it's one of the best style books out there.
and ms piaggi is amazing. I really think that the likes of her and westwood are great examples of how older women should dress.
there was an excellent piaggi exhibition at the V&A a few years back which had lots of her infamous outfits, indluding the dress (?) made of newspaper.
great post, nice to see something a little different.
omg that woman is amazing! ahaha her style is soo... well its very out there, but i love her sense of spirit with each outfit! great post!

God I love this post. No one writes about her much and I just think her style is so amazing! There are no words for it!
I've heard of her, but I never really saw any photos or knew that much about Anna Piaggi. She has such a crazy style, I wish she were my grandma!
She's quite an interesting character, crazy style, very unique.
I'm loving Kamel's site too :)
♥
Oh wow now that is what I call fashion bravery!
She seems to have had a very interesting, fashion-filled life.
I saw that photo this morning while on the Sartorialist too, and found myself wondering a lot about her...
Awesome mini-bio - good choice. :)

I love Anna Piaggi, she must be such an interesting person to meet and one of the global fashion industry's true individuals.
she has quite an eccentric style. I would say it takes a bold person to pull those looks off and she manages to do it

First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
your head prior to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your
intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
be giving us something enlightening to read?

Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring
writers? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there
that I'm completely confused .. Any recommendations? Cheers!
