Anna Piaggi’s Incredible Wardrobe Faces Uncertain Future

Anna Piaggi’s Incredible Wardrobe Faces Uncertain Future

When Italian fashion editor and OG street style star Anna Piaggi died back in August of last year, the world lost a true style icon.

She left behind countless “doppie pagine” (double page spreads, known as “DP”s) in Vogue Italia–and a treasure trove of clothing. Her clothing collection was supposed to go on display at Milan’s Fabbrica Del Vapore culture center, but according to The Wall Street Journal, the plan fell apart, and Piaggi’s clothes are now hanging in a storage space awaiting their fate.

Cecilia Dean on Visionaire 63, the World’s First All-Metal Magazine

We’ve all heard the phrase “Nothing lasts forever,” but Visionaire is seeking to disprove that theory with its 63rd edition. Titled “Forever” and entirely made of metal, the magazine is a collaboration with G-Shock and features eight imprinted images by artists like Inez & Vinoodh, Craig McDean, Karl Lagerfeld, Yoko Ono, Richard Avedon, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari in a metal casing–it’s the world’s first all metal magazine.

The party took the silvery metal theme and ran with it. The Clocktower Gallery was transformed into a silver playland complete with silver confetti, mylar balloons, and even glitter cocktails. Guests including Cecilia Dean, James Kaliardos, Sofia Sanchez Barrenechea, Ladyfag, Hilary Rhoda, Heidi Mount, Constance Jablonski, and Vika Gazinskaya committed to the metallic theme with glittering outfits or accessories, although no one tried harder than a girl wearing light up mouse ears.

We caught up with Visionaire founder and all-over inspirational person Cecilia Dean to get the low down on how the magazine was made and what she wishes could last forever.

Director Dishes on New Carine Roitfeld Doc

We’ve been hearing about a Carine Roitfeld documentary in dribs and drabs since before the first issue of her magazine, CR Fashion Book, even hit newsstands.

Fabien Constant is the man behind the camera–he previously filmed Roitfeld for a fantastic mini-doc for W magazine about the editor’s exploits during couture week–and he opened up about what we can expect from the film, and when we can expect to see it.
