Battaglia Makes Best Dressed List

Style.com chose Giovanna Battaglia as one of their Ten Best Dressed of the Week for 10.05.09. Here she is pictured in Louis Vuitton head to toe with Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld though I actually prefer it when she wears something a little less formal, such as the two other looks shown here. I especially love how she can add so much texture and volume to an all black outfit, she has such a knack for fashion. Remember how I just mentioned that Giovanna has been partial to ruffles recently? See below...

How can one look so fluffy and yet so chic at the same time? Even totally casual in jeans and loafers, Giovanna still possesses a certain elegance that transcends denim and flats. If she keeps it up, I may need to change the name of the blog to I Want To Be A Battaglia!

Roitfeld And Battaglia At Purple Magazine Party

The charming couple Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia were spotted at the Purple Magazine party. Giovanna certainly has a thing for ruffles right now, I can't remember the last time she wore an outfit without them. This time however she looks so refined and elegant, ultraclassic yet supremely modern. Though we can barely see them in this photograph, note the perfect accessory to that dress: the thigh high boots. The navy blue is a beautiful color on her, especially with the black boots. Vladimir is also looking classically modern in the white V neck tshirt and black jacket, very debonair.

Roitfeld And Konjic In Harper's Bazaar Russia

Fashionable couple Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic were featured in a recent issue of the Russian edition of Harper's Bazaar. Julia looks amazing in hot pink Balmain; Robert is classic as usual in his charcoal gray suit and tie against the crisp white shirt. This shot looks so natural I almost wonder if they knew HB was photographing them. If anyone can translate the titles and captions, I would be truly grateful for your help.
