Giovanna Battaglia-The Maker, The Model, The Muse

Giovanna Battaglia is an internationally known style muse, not solely due to the fact that this Italian born beauty is fashion savvy, but also because she's also an extremely talented editor.  Having transitioned from a career in modeling to writing for a notable publication at the ripe old age of 28, Giovanna landed an opportunity to head the fashion editorial team at L'Uomo Vogue, an Italian publication dedicated to menswear and male interest cultural activities.  Since then, she's become a familiar face on the street style scene, being shot by numerous noteworthy photographers during fashion week.  Giovanna has also parlayed her experience at L'Uomo Vogue into a recurring contributing editor role for W magazine.  What I admire about her aesthetic is that she's a subtle risk taker, and by that, I mean, that's she not afraid of color or bright accessories but she's always put together in a classically feminine way.  Her sense of dress is easy to interoperate; although, her beauty and intellect are hard to imitate.
