Introducing Giovanna Battaglia, the ultimate proof that a classic style is the way to go, that you don’t have to be French to be chic and that the kind of style icons that remains throughout time still exist.

There’s something daring (yet sophisticated), charismatic (yet cold and inaccessible) and sexy with women dressed in classic menswear. In turtlenecks, shirts and suitpants, Giovanna masters the look with great delight. Close friends with Scott ’The Sartorialist’ Schuman and Garance Doré you’ll understand these famous street style hunters’ immense love for all that is Giovanna: the Fashion Editor of L’uomo Vogue has great ways with sheer print chiffon together with tweed, leather with fur and colorful silk pieces. As far as classics go there are very few with the rare eye and senseability to transform the conservative manners of everyday wear to a relevant off-the-moment look. But there’s always Giovanna who, despite most often wearing menswear, looks more feminime than a hundered girls wearing floral patterned dresses with ballerinas would. She’s a one of a kind glamazon without insecurity or regret leaving a blow-us-away kind of style.
