Carla Sozzani, my new style icon


This image below appeared in yesterdays edition of Stella magazine. It struck a chord as I love that silhouette, and even more the necklace she is wearing, even more she is wearing flat shoes. I have noticed Ms Sozzani before in the images of the Sartorialist and liked her style, but the article which I can't find online really sold her to me.

"she wears flat shes 99% of the time"

"now I am older I only wear what I feel comfortable in"

Two perfect mantras for me. She looks to me the perfect gallerina and I envy just a little that she runs one, but I figure I had my chance.



I may have to have a Carla Sozzani week and wear this silhouette everyday, I have enough black trust me.

After 'Googling' her I began to notice the necklaces more and more, they are a beautiful statement




I also love the way she smiles for the camera, none of that moody crap here!

She has incredible personal style. And, that necklace you found, le sigh! I love it. Please tell me it is not ridiculously expensive.

The necklace is one made for her by her husband I think. I do think it must be possible to have one made, but at a price. Still no more than a pair of Jimmy Choo's and more people check the neck than the feet, don't they?
