Franca Sozzani met 'iwork4DG'

Posted Feb 24, 2011

Yes, it was the first day I started tweeting the Dolce&Gabbana world on my twitter profile 'iwork4DG' and I had the pleasure of meeting Franca Sozzani from Vogue Italy right after the D&G Women AW 12 show. What did we talk about?

 Well, we exchanged our ideas about the show. Seems like we were both satisfied with how the show went today: explosion of colors and letters, lots of chiffon, masculine cuts for the jackets, 80s accessories and feathers... It's the kind of winter I've always dreamt of. As we were busy chit chatting outside Metropol, a guy came up to Franca Sozzani and asked: 'Why do you always choose celebrities for Vogue Italy rather than models?' Curiosity kills the fashion victim? No, not in this case. Ms. Sozzani was rather willing to answer, she said: 'Some celebrities are very beautiful, just look at them. You can't take your eyes off. And the models? I find almost all of them indistinguishable from each other: the same attitude, the same face, the same everything... I'd rather work with a celebrity that has her own appeal...' 

Right after this answer, I started smiling. I had read an article on Vogue American about how Anna Wintour was using Blake Lively on the covers because of her particular beauty (and fame of course, xoxo). It's an equation that always works fine, so why not use it? 

Anyways, for more on the exclusive, glamorous world of Dolce&Gabbana, follow me at www.twitter.com/iwork4DG  And you wonder, who am i? Maybe you should read this.
