Anna Piaggi

To my surprise a few people in our country even know who he is and what contribution she made for fashion ... So I decided to devote all ignorant in this matter.
The eccentric Italian Anna Piaggi known columnist of the fashion stylist, who jokingly called "the grandmother of fashion," died Aug. 7 to 82-year life. For many years Anna Piaggi faithful to his eclectic style and never appeared in public twice in the same dress. A strand of blue hair, carelessly, "a stray" from the classic British hats, bright lipstick, fur, flashy accessories and faded jeans - Anna Piaggi safely combine incongruous. Fans of Anna from around the world mourn her death.





She began her career with the post of editor of the first in her country women's magazine Ariadne, has collaborated with the Italian version of Vanity and Vogue, which published its so-called "dual page» (Doppie Pagine). Piaggi was the muse of designers Manolo Blahnik, Stephen Jones, Versace and Karl Lagerfeld. In 2006, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hosted an exhibition Anna Piaggi: Fashion-Ology. She was presented with samples from the personal collection Piaggi, numbering 2586 dresses and 256 pairs of shoes, as well as models from the collections of Balenciaga, Fendi, Galliano, Poiret, Manolo Blahnik, on the work she has affected.



For half a century Piaggi remained one of the most well known and respected in the world of fashion critics; He called her his muse Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix, and Gianni Versace. Anna collected clothes and created his own unique style, combining items of different eras.



Actually the death of a legend left a mark in the hearts of many people, including those from the world of fashion ...
