Italian style is often stereotyped as being gaudy and ostentatious with a hefty load of sex appeal à la designers like Versace, Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana. More recently, a new breed of Italian taste-makers has invaded the street style scene decked out in fresher, more playful ensembles that leave more to the imagination than a D&G micro dress.
Sartorially leading the pack (which includes fellow fashion editors/stylists like Elisa Nalin and Aurora Sansone), is, in my opinion, stylist and fashion consultant Viviana Volpicella whose cheeky aesthetic has me continually craving snaps of her every look.
This woman seriously knows how to have fun with fashion. She is the master of wearing and mixing color and can rock a quirky print like it's nobody's business. Despite her loud fashion choices, she always looks chic and totally put together. I'll credit that success to her barely-there makeup, vivid white smile and Mediterranean skin that anchor the commotion in her clothing.
I easily see my own style in hers and am forever taking cues from her ability to balance the bold with the, well, beautiful.
