This whole outfit does seem to be very original. What’s interesting about it to me is that I’m not particularly partial to any of the items, but because they’re worn together with such confidence, and because this women just seems to exude a chic energy, I’m still somehow attracted to it. Proves that fashion is an attitude as much as an art.
Very true; confidence is the best accessory. However, while the outfit is not terribly original (white shirt, black skirt), I find the shirt to be a little unique in the way it is tailored.
She can’t do no wrong fashion wise, I love how creative she can be with her outfits and his work. I love that she let the shoes be center of the attention and kept everything else simple yet chic.
Great photo. Black and White is always a great choice. So elegant. I love the crisp white shirt and the little bag.

Good ol’ Ms. Battaglia. This look is rife with androgynous elements and I really think that this is the key factor in what keeps Milanese women looking so elegantly refined (IMO of course).
Love the simple style of the blouse and skirt. The shoes make her feet look quite large and boat-like don’t they? Perhaps if they were more of a wedge silhouette they’d compliment those gorgeous legs a bit better.
The shoes are PERFECT! The angular lines match the lines of the glasses, yet contrast with the scalloped hem and curves in the blouse. I love this whole outfit.
Love the shoes which would really make me taller considering that I am 6ft tall. The outfit would look really cute on a tall girl and hoping this is available for someone who wears a size 11.
Her shoes will probably evoke either love or hate responses…they are meant to provoke a reaction. Personally, count me among the fans. I like the graphic pop they give to her outfit–a bit of whimsy with the more classic and serene side to her blouse and skirt. She looks stunning.
Confidence abounds here in this photo. The shoes stuck out to me though. Big in Asia making its way over, feminine without pain of heels but loads of character. Where can I find the likes.
White top and black bottom seemed to have conquered the catwalks for the next Spring, Giovanna once again shows impeccable styling, especially with those playful sandals!
Love this outfit! (The white shirt is exquisite.) But I loved panning down and arriving at her shoes. I had to laugh…but only because they made me so happy. Very fun!
I love that the cut and tailoring on something as simple as a white button-up shirt really elevates the style level. Even the double button at the collar is a great touch.
Giovanna is a goddess!! I think she’s the chicest woman in the world, and I am in love with those shoes. The whole outfit is so interesting in its proportions and play on the classic black and white theme.
Talk about almost purposely ruining something very chic and beautiful with those shoes. Thinking they may be more for shock value then style value because they are almost breathtakingly ugly. I agree fun shoes are 100% in order here, but those are NOT them.
Looooove the shirt and the whole pose. However, from the ankle down the photo falls apart, veering from stylish and slick to cartoonish. The shoes are a joke, and not even a funny one.
