Style Inside: Anna Piaggy style

Who's the most intriguing reporter of the fashion scene?
It seems to be difficult to say but according to me it's Anna Piaggi. The Italian based fashion writer is seen in fashion week front Rows . She's a worldwide fashion icon and she wrote for the best fashion magazines in the world. Her best associates in fashion industry are Karl Lagerfeld and Manolo Blahnik. She's not one in a million and never will be! Multi language, her style is eclectic. It's the expression of a personal vision of fashion. People call her the " Walking Museum" but she's far away from cliche and non attitude. Anna Piaggi has it's own universe and she conceptualizes fashion as an Art and not as an industry. Anna Piaggi character is one of this icon who contributes highlighting fashion strenghts. She gives words to the universal fashion language, she write notes of a worldwide music. Her style is refreshing and stunningly studied. Each component of it isn't a mistake. Anna makes trends revival!

Les Looks d'Anna pour le weekend du 19/01/1977

Anna Piaggy has this hybrid style which is giving her a never-seen attitude. Never copied, she built her own identity and she owes it to fashion history. Inspired by different fashion epoques, she borrows key pieces of each time of it.
Hats, shoes, colors. She mixes punk attitude, with dandy's one, in revisiting best clothes time.
Modern Fashion dandy , she embodies today ,what fashion aims to be: a real way of expression.
When you look at Anna's face, it's difficult to distinguish if she's a man or a women and that what's make the difference.
Her Boy George face, makes us feel that Anna's fashion has a special meaning.
She put dandyism in fashion and it's turning into a new fashion style. When she appropriates mens outfits in her closet she gives a new dimension to style.

Associating 18 Th century silhouettes with blue hairs and whitened skin is one of the best Anna's outfit. Anna Piaggy is Fashion Art in progress. She's not only the fashion reporter who's looking for modern trends, she's the one who's not afraid of wearing a chapeau haut de forme.
She cultivates her individuality. In starting to built her style, she collected vintage clothes.
Now, she's flirting with fictional world and reality in a kaleidoscopic background.
When she arrived in London (at the beginning) her style got a new dimension. She has been fascinated by iconoclasts characters such as pirates, suffragettes, punks or dandy's.
Then, they totally inspired her outfits . She's mixing those elements altogether in order to create the ANNA STYLE. "High" fashion and "low" fashion are in the same outfit. Anachronising fashion elements are keys to modern fashion style;
