Giovanna Battaglia: Va-Va-Vroom

Giovanna Battaglia appeared in an editorial titled "Find Your Shape" in the September 2006 issue of Vogue. She was subject #3 for the article, "the shrink fit," and she discusses her fervor for microminis and men that can handle it. Clearly, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld does not have a problem with the length of Gio's skirts. She candidly admits being a fashion addict, hitting rock bottom when she had nothing but jeweled sandals for daywear and backpacking through Thailand for a month to detox from the lifestyle. Oh yes, and her mother thinks that she dresses like a cabaret worker—perfetto!

Flashback!!: I remember this from one of my very first Vogue issues. I was maybe 13 and I soaked up everything I knew about fashion from magazines. I was so mesmerized by Giovanna in the editorial. I never realized!

Cool memory, Alex! Thank you for sharing it.

That's the Vogue I'm talking about! I'm a big fan of mini skirts particularly during winter when I like to team them with opaque black tights and sky-high heels.

You know, I never paid any attention to Giovanna Battaglia until I started reading your blog. She's very attractive and oh so stylish. Thank you for the introduction!

Milla, I imagine you look fantastic in the ensemble you describe! As for the Giovanna intro, my pleasure. I absolutely loved her style since the first time I saw her and I was thrilled when she and Vladimir began dating so that I could include her here. She consistently gives her outfits a unique element and I adore this.
