viva viviana!

Anna Dello Russo always shocks and awes with her outfits during fashion week, naturally since she works for Vogue Nippon. It's hard to outshine someone with immaculate taste, but her fashion assistant Viviana Volpicella manages to do the impossible. She is fearless with color and makes even the simplest of outfits look remarkable. Then again, she has that je ne sais quoi that would make her look fantastic in a burlap sack. She has confidence, charisma and it doesn't hurt that she's Italian and that's what Italian women do (put the rest of us to shame) but it's her happy-go-lucky persona that makes me love her the most. I despise people who take themselves too seriously, it's so nice to see someone full of laughter. Her signature style is stunning to match! Idol, much?
