Swide Magazine by Dolce&Gabbana

The girls' nuclear couture war is about to happen. Spy Swide spotted Anna Dello Russo and Giovanna Battaglia brunching together, exchanging details about their busy September.

What were Anna Dello Russo and Giovanna Battaglia chatting about Sunday at brunch right in the centre of Milan near Brera at bar bistrot Radetsky? Spy-Swide sneaked up one two of the world’s beloved fashion icons (and stylists) and got the juicy news.  

Giovanna Battaglia and Anna Dello Russo spotted by Spy Swide in Milan last Sunday.

Giovanna told Anna and three other friends sitting at their table about her holidays with boyfriend Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld somewhere in the Caribbeans: “it was wonderful and relaxing, I tried scuba diving and loved it”.

 
Anna Dello Russo told them about her trip around the small villages in Italy, tales of religious icons and folkloric details previously given on twitter.

 

While Giovanna was devouring her eggs and bacon drinking water and coffee, Anna was satisfied with an orange juice with ice. It was during lunch that the month of September came up in conversation. The two girls comforted each other on their respective engagements (often same ones). Dello Russo had just gotten back from Honk Kong where she followed an event with Lane Crawford, Battaglia was ready for an exhibition tied to Vogue Gioiello, and spy-Swide can already tell you that it will be during the 30th anniversary of Vogue Gioiello with a special installation mixing jewels and high fashion (couture?). The exhibition will take place on the 24th of September in Milan: “two days before my birthday” underlined Giovanna.
Anna had a shoot with Jurgen Teller the next day for undisclosed paper, Giovanna had to leave in a couple of days for Moscow, then off to Vicenza, Montecarlo, and Paris for the “Biennale will take place at the Grand Palais and there will be jewels worth 10 million euros you get to see only there and for the first time there will be Louis Vuitton as well”.

The pair gave each other loads of advice on what to wear at the numerous fashion weeks around the world: New York, London, Milan, Paris, and for Anna Tokyo included. Anna was explaining her plan of attack trying to hide it from her three guy friends who were absorbed reading their newspapers anyway. Giovanna listened to Dello Russo’s tips on how to organize September’s Mission with much curiosity (a month known to be the most tiring one).

Carine Roitfeld and Anna Dello Russo
The table heated up when Giovanna reminded Anna to not miss the fancy dress party organized by Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris’ 90 years. Battaglia read an ironic sms sent to her by a friend about the couture war that will take place at the party “My friend just texted me: nuclear couture war is about to happen”. Anna Dello Russo got the message and reminded her who orchestrates the event (Carine, Giovanna’s mother in law to be) “Remember that Carine showed up at the first Vogue Party wearing a Dior Couture which explained everything”. Spy Swide can report seeing Giovanna Battaglia’s face look a bit lost, innocent, tanned and beautiful. Let the September Mission begin. (gf)
