The Sartorialist

Love it! I feel the uniquely European fantastic theatre tradition of jesters , mimes and cirque coming through.

She's on her own plane…and that jacket!! I need one in my life!!

She´s special!Do you know?.xx

She's just fantastic! Always fun to see what she will wear next!

Anna is so theatrical, but yet so true.. A real guru.

Lovely! Very dramatic. H&M actually has a jacket very similar to that one out now. At least in Stockholm.

Superlative

She dares to be herself, which I think is amazing. Her style is beyond Avantgarde.

She is much more than that!
Anna Piaggi is also a lovely and kind lady!

Yes! But the Jacket rules! I couldn't have gone without making a copy for my 'military jacket' themed blog – "Armed Beauty" (www.armedbeauty.blogspot.com). Thank you, SARTORIALIST!!!

Seeing her makes me miss Isabella Blow all the more.

Thanks doll,

I've always loved this woman, I feel so stylistically repressed every time I see her. sigh.

WHat does she do?

Love Anna Piaggi's eclectic and inspiring style! Her retrospective in London at V&A was amazing

She looks like she could be a character from one of Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons. Very interesting look!

Wow, she put together everything what's possible: Westwood, Galliano and Dior and stuf… really special…

I can only hope to be so creative and free at her age!

The blue walking stick is ace. Can we have a series of Icons Over 50 please?

I don't find her dramatic…I consider her to be a true artist. Most people wouldn't even have the guts or know how to put something like this together…let alone actually wear it. True art is when we create things others cannot…or would not.

Interesting and eccentric, yes. But the work that went into putting together this assemblage is blatantly evident–and that, in turn, exhibits a lack of a certain je nais sais qua.
The tilt of the hat is wonderfully amusing, though–as is the bright cupid's bow mouth.

She's just so damn cool.

I am reminded of Vivienne Westwood. Sharp & bold.

true artist

Dear God!
There's something about this that reminds of a Cockney King or Queen.

AMAZING. what a dame

I Love it, she dne well

I love Anna Piaggi – fearless & artistic. She wears characters, esp love her French & Italian Poiret looks.

More power to her! :)

Whoa! This woman is so out of control! But its quite the fun look! =P

Camp without the campiness. Great.

Lovely. She looks like Miss Haversham from the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, who didn't sit around waiting in her wedding dress, but got out and about the city looking fab.

Confidence… you can wear anything, no matter what if you have confidence. This is what she has & portrays without any question.

she is perfect in every way – every time.

She is a style icon!!!!

She does this well! Polka and military is so darn cool!

Yeah, there's a bit of Anna Piaggi in all of us. There's also a bit of that stare in all of us which down in the streets could frighten the horses.

She's a character.

I love that her outfits are never something that you quickly glance at; they deserve a nice long stare to truly appreciate the thought that goes into putting them together.

The circus is in town. Awe hell, she is happy. Maybe we can learn something?

there is no such thing as over dramatic. I hope I have this much sass when I'm that old.

FAB-U-LOUS! Wow!

Nice to know she recycles her hats– I took this one of her 2 years ago in Paris:

It's a bit too Cirque Du Soleil cast-member for my liking, but without a doubt evokes a smile!

Someone stole my polkadots!

Love the jacket and polka dots! :)

exactly! wat u said……….

I totally agree with ohdearcharlotte – this is Isabella Blow if she had lived to this age. Far too over the top for me – she just looks ridiculous. She's not chic and her makeup is horrific. But she's daring, and is obviously confident in her eccentricity, so full marks for that.

it's a costume for a role she plays. but it isn't clothing.

I remember seeing her on the 20/20 segment with Anna Wintour. it was kind of sad, the interviewer mocked those who dressed as you said "over-dramatic" but hello, it's fashion. she doesn't look pretentious and overdone which can't be said for many people nowadays.

someone forgot her meds again

Love love love that hat!
And the mix of the polka dots and the leopard print bag etc is wonderful.

She really is phenomenal. I love how this is her look and it stays with her. No-one else can emulate this.

love this anna piaggi is a true icon

Fantastic to see Anna being Anna.
Memories of a great dinner with her and Vern Lambert in Verns basement apartment in Milan. Both beautiful friendly souls, Anna wearing a Jenny Kee ensemble to make us feel at home (Aussies). The most amazing collection of fashion I had ever seen covered the walls, floors, beds throughout the apartment – incredible.
RIP Vern.

Rest in peace. You will be missed.
