Giovanna Battaglia continued

Pants

Look how elegant a parka coat can be. And this shows how shoes (heels) can change an outfit. If she’d worn sneakers, the look wouldn’t have worked nearly as well.

Yes, it is possible to get away with wearing matching, bright-coloured shoes and trousers, but wear it with a subtle shirt.

I had a thing for short-sleeved coats with long gloves that season.

Cool way to use the SS09 YSL shoes in a stylish, but low-key way.

Lesson one girls: how to dress up an old pair of jeans. Easy – just look at Giovanna.

I love the bright colour of the bag with this outfit. Shoes: Miu Miu, FW09.

Skirts

No words needed

Flawless way to wear a white shirt. Picture from a US Vogue spread, March 2010. Left: Lauren Santo Domingo, NY socialite and contributing editor to US Vogue, wearing a Proenza Schouler dress.
