Have You Heard? It’s All About the Italian It Girls

Have You Heard? It’s All About the Italian It Girls

Since cinematic muses like Sophia Loren and Monica Vitti were on the scene, fashion-forward Italian women have long been an obsession in fashion circles. While daring fashion editors like Anna Dello Russo and Sozzanis Carla and Franca have long thrilled the blogosphere, this season’s menswear shows’ front rows showed a new generation of Italian nationals making the street style rounds. Blessed with pitch-perfect personal style, access to the very best of luxury fashion, and a certain enviable Italian love of the good life, this newly minted girl squad is worth paying attention to all fashion month.

With her waist-length, pin-straight black hair, Gilda Ambrosio makes a strong case for the center-part revival, but it’s her off-kilter style that truly gets your attention. Stepping out in straight-off-the-runway pieces like Loewe’s silver tasseled sweater or Etro’s pastel striped fur coat is one way to get the attention of photographers, but Ambrosio looks great even when the paparazzi isn’t watching.
