Style Profile….Eva Fontanelli

Current profession?

Editor of Elle Italia


Which cultures or sub-cultures have influenced you lately?

 

Since I’m currently traveling in Morocco, I find myself wrapping scarves mixed with jewelry around my head like the old Berber women—I look forward to wearing long gypsy dresses, sequined pieces, and pastel colors for the spring.

 

What are the most interesting pieces you’ve picked up when traveling?


An old, colorful Peruvian bag and an Argentinean pendant.  I really cherish the pendant; it’s a gaucho medallion, in silver and mother-of-pearl, with the initials of someone very special.

On the Street……Weekend Feet, New York

I think (no, I know) that it really helps the shape of the leg when Uggs are rolled down, cutting the leg in a more narrow part of the calf.

I’ve also found that having a dog that matches your Uggs also helps the overall look!

Vintage Photo

This picture was taken between 1940 and 1950 near Bologna, Italy. My grandmother was fashion obsessed and liked to be captured in her outfits by my grandfather– I call her the pioneer of bloggers.

Style Profile… Maddalena Pelucchini

Current career?

 

My boyfriend Nicola and I own a shop in Arezzo, Tuscany called VOGA– I enjoy my work so much! We’re complimentary in the sense that I work closely with customers, and he loves working on the business side– he’s rigorous and tidy, while I am quite the opposite, so our respected roles suit us well.

 

What do you find challenging about owning a shop together?

 

Things are more difficult now that we have a baby.  She stays with us in the shop sometimes and travels on buying trips. It’s definitely harder to place orders during the buying meetings and run around fashion week carrying all of her things in addition to all of mine!

 

You always seem to be running around in heels…


I still wear heels every day regardless of how busy I am. I wouldn’t wear sneakers or a down jacket, they’re too casual for me, it doesn’t feel right. Every morning I get dressed based on my shoes… I even pack them in my carry-on when traveling in fear of losing a pair!
