Comments on "On the Street......Giovanna!"
AS YOU ONCE SAID:
"All Giovanna.. All the time!!!"
WOW: total respect!
Will you devote an entire chapter to Giovanna in your book?
She would deserve it.
so chic!
She is such a massive inspiration to me. I love studying the elements of her outfit; almost all of them are desirable in and of themselves and not just as a part of the whole.
I must say I think she looks the most beautiful with her hair long and down. It really frames her features and makes her look young, feminine, and gorgeous.
Love the multiple images...she's got a great style.
The woman of my dreams.......
what a vision, she truly embodies the meaning of style with a unshaken confidence. Perfection!

I adore her style. it is always perfect!
She is so chic and fabulous!
Pure fashion poetry in motion!
This last dress.......I need.
What a great post. I always love when you do shots of a single person wearing multiple looks. She is fantastic.
i love her fur jacket and the way that although she must know that she is having her picture taken she still doesn't look at the camera just in case her secrets to effortless style is revealed :D

WOW!! Sartorialist Super-Star... What would we do without Giovanna? These photos are invariably amazing. She has it all: consistency, originality, always tasteful but never boring, sexy sans a hint of trashiness. Really incredible!
It's very rewarding to see these all together.
A few thoughts: she looks so different--perhaps younger?--with her hair down.
I am not feeling the golden dangly earrings so much, but that's just being nit-picky.
Great work Sart!
giovanna's style is really great...she has such an eye for colour and texture which i love. Especially texture. I love how she wears somtimes quite prim clothes and is never overtly sexy sexy....she is quite demure and sometimes gives a little nod to androgyny.
I love that she rocks the python boots with various outfits!!! I guess if you had to buy one pair this season, this would be it? Jorge from WPB
definitely, her style speaks for herself... amazing! simple and chic.
She looks terrific,you're so right! always chic, very classy...Lovely!

immpeccable.
Pretty Amazing!!
Giovanna has execellent style! I love all the shots!
Gorgeous looks all with imagination and beautiful style - would love to look into her closet!
So glad you did a Giovanna post! I'm using her as inspiration for updating my work wardrobe at the moment. So chic and professional!
fabulosa! vaya estilazo de chica, me encanta como combina!

i could write an entire thesis raving about her style but i'll stick to one word (and say it 3x): LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! - that top picture; her bag and shoes - OMG!!
I need that blue and white skirt she is wearing in the 2nd pciture from the bottom! I LOVE it.
great post, who doesn't adore giovanna?
this woman knows footwear better than anyone.
giovanna on the steps in front of the yellow building is a stupendous action shot, nicely composed
I think Giovanna is a perfect example of not needing to fall to the pressures of "porno chic" as Simon Doonan calls it, in order to be sexy.
I am so in love with those boots.......
great look! I would choose a wider belt and try not to let my hair fall on the left side, but maybe these slight flaws are what make her look so casual and effortlessly chic!
I love the fact that she has worn the grey sweater in the top foto about a million times and that she always looks a little cooler than the rest of the FASHION crowd!
I think there is something so sexy about subtlety and giovanni embraces that. She doesn't need to pose to be beautiful. She is comfortable in her own persona. That is truly bella.
Gorgeous photos.
Every single look is stunning. Does this woman ever not look good?
Second photo down: Did anyone comment on this lovely black coat (wearer on the left)? It's simple but beautiful. Something about the gold buttons against black is so appealing.
I think it's that blue and white polka dot skirts second appearance.
Fly nonetheless.
She always displays fashion, personal style and class.
Goodness, I can only try to emulate how very cool she is.
Her style is unparalleled. She is flawless!
stylejustice.blogspot.com
Adore her style!!! Again, Inspired!
she is just fantastic! i love looking at multiple shots of the same person. i want to live in her closet please.
Those boots! Every shot has another pair of incredible boots! Love it!

Sam @PrettyLovely
who is Giovanna? !
Giovanna knows what she' s doing
The last picture is the best!
The combination of colors between the clothes and the background is brilliant, and she looks much more beautiful than in the previous pics.
She is such a beautiful and chic woman.
These pictures prove that you don't need to plaster your face with makeup or show lots of skin to be sexy and alluring.
An inspiration to women of all ages.
the key is that the outfits are well put together ... no disharmony at all, and modest. an air of tradition - impeccably tidy and groomed looking. something we need more of.
well put together, impeccably groomed, and modest, with an air of tradition, something we need more of.
she looks very good in D&G
she's an inspiration to all women of all ages - and i LOVE how she rocks her knee-high boots in every shot!
La femme de ma vie!!
So gorgeous!!
She's soooooo inspiring!! ;)
Not Fair!
I love her, and I love to recognize the streets of "my" Milan in these photos.
ALWAYS ADORABLE
She is always classy but never boring. She is sexy but never trashy. Look at that bottom shot: the long black fingerless gloves and the tall black boots keep her from looking like a librarian. She always looks comfortable--the skirts aren't too tight. Her long legs make her look fab in those skinny pants, but you've also posted her in wide pants that looked equally great. She seems to be very fond of lightweight turtleneck sweaters--they pop up regularly on her and show off her slenderness while being warm. She does minimal makeup, but then she's so beautiful she doesn't need any. An inspiration to us all
I love her style!!
She is just staggeringly beautiful. Her style is so consistently good, it's scary...
WOW!!!
Fantastic!
Those boots are gorgeous and the last dress is soooo good!!!!
PLEASE COME TO STOCKHOLM!!!
I will meet you there!
You are the best.
love her TONS * * *
Viva la Giovanna !
Gorgeous! She is one lady with impeccable style.
i love the sartorialist!
you are my inspiration! :)
^_^
fantastic. I'm using her for work inspiration too!
god she is always sooo put together!! very jealous. Im lusting after those pants in the first pic.
xox.
The Voguette
am. not. worthy.
Does anyone know the story on the wonderful blue skirt in the hair-down shot??--it's just great.
I like her imperfect hair in the last photo--it makes me like her look even more. Slightly unkempt tresses make an outfit younger and less formal.
i totally envy her in a very good way.
http://www.moneasywardrobe.com
stunning outfits.
SHE IS AMASING!!A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION!
i love the BLUE of the guy behind her in number four....
and she's pretty terrif, too ;)
So, again, who is she and what does she do and where and how does she find her style? How did she and The Sartorialist find each other? Rhetorial questions really. I'd rather watch and admire and aspire to create something equally as splendid for myself.
shes incredibly lovely in every aspect.
I love looking at this woman. I love the skirt dress second from last.
covet, covet.
she's amazing. LOVE giovanna! wow...
http://www.itsonlyfashion.net
Wow. Its great to see how someone dresses differently each day, how they work different aspects of their wordrobe(snake boots)to create different looks. She is such a well dressed person! Sartorialist VIP.
Love this woman!
she has such a lovely style! she wears those snakeskin boots in such a fresh way.
Oh wow, I am dying over all of her amazing outfits!!! She makes it look soooo totally effortless!
Kisses from Paris!

She is DIVINE.
jesus christ this woman is amazing. she has the most amazing hair i've ever seen. i love the small forehead (i know quite a strange thing to say) and the drastic center part.
what i love about these photos is that while each one is quite different there is always a common thread or piece that runs throughout each. ultimately, giovanna truly shines through in each and every outfit and image.
I love that my first though was "What a well-dressed woman!" as opposed to "What gorgeous clothing!" She really makes each piece her own. I would wear every single outfit. Those YSL shoes in the first shot are incredible. A great series of photos— the yellow wall in the last one is the perfect backdrop.
so stylish. give me those YSL cage ankle boots!!
great shoes!
Fantastic outfits all. Great sense of style, with great use of length, material and pattern to create something interesting and different in each outfit. What I particularly like is the way she manages to hint at something in herself and her mood with each look, while looking comfortable and utterly herself.
Really great, thanks for putting them all up together. It lets you properly see what she is doing (so well)
who is she, for real???
The python boots are to die for as her YSL cage shoes ...where's that waiting list ?
@Suz
I think it's D&G (maybe you've seen the fabric on Jessica Alba's D&G pyjama's before in a magazine...)
Love that skirt too !
You made my day Sart, as always Giovanna is "beyond fantastic"
nn ci sono parole...!!!
So sexy, she haunts me.
Rhetorial - although it's probably a typo (or you're just not the spelling bee queen), it is a good word, Princess Glee. It mixes rhetoric with Sartorial!
It inspires a whole lexicon of Sartorial rooted verbiage. Intellorial, humorial, artisorial, activorial.... I could go on and on.
As for Giovanna, I've nothing new to say. She's always chic.
What a style!
I love how she wears everything and specially that Dolce & Gabbana piyama skirt i mean when i saw it at the runway it was like "whow are those things suposed to be weared" and here's the solution. Great style
She is so lovely! Perfect!
Great photos of a very faboulus and stylish woman this time. I love all of the outfits and that's really amaizing:)
i feel abit excluded on this otherwise seemingly known figure. her style is lovely as is her face but without knowing who she is and possibly even if I did, i really liked the variety of faces and types that your images record.
Love the last pic!
All the outfits are really awesome!
I wish my stepdaughter would read you. I've given her your link but she considers anything from Guess to be the ultimate in fashion, and her icons tend toward Britney Spears et al. I think Giovanna is about her age, but looks more mature without looking old. She looks competent. Yet much sexier than the women who expose every big of skin better left to the imagination.
She is one chic lady. She needs to give me lessons!
Mercoledì is Giovanna Day! Thank you, thank you for the unexpected treat. I love her for her greatest asset: her confidence.
its a hidden advertisment of iphone ))
K
I love those over-the-knee high black leather boots. Who makes them, do you know? thnx.
Her name certainly does command an exclamation point...
What is the material used for her pants in the top photograph?
tinselandtin.blogspot.com
The second last outfit does it for me. That skirt is so cute..
Sometimes I just wonder what it must feel like for people like her, to be herself and be famous and such an inspiration and everything.. must be a cool feeling :)
So goddamn chic it hurts...And she makes it look so effortless...
She probably looks always good. I especially love the first and the fourth look.
love this.
i miss italy.
x
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Ladies and gents, this is what elegance looks like.
www.platformmag.net
Oh GOD, she is pure goddess. I love love love love love her style! If only if only I had her budget for boots! Please!
I'm speechless when it comes to Giovanna!! And YES, can't wait for the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice.
I believe she is an editor for Italian Vogue? No? anyone?
This is the kind of woman we need to look at in today's magazines and ads. Not touched up models, but -real- women with style and grace!
So Chic! So Often!
just incredibly gorgeous and "european".....more of her please!!!!
Wow, I love the last look. Beautiful, beautiful.
LOVE Giovanna! She's my fave, her style's just amazing! :)
xx
She looks great! She knows her body and dresses accordingly. That should be applauded :)
She looks like she has a petite, slim boyish figure that she makes the most of. She doesn't seem to wear anything too tight. Lots of drapery to give the illusion of curves. And it works!
Forget a chapter in the book, how about a Giovanna monograph by Sart!
Love, love, love your work.
Totally bootastic...
ah! i think i've figured it out.. giovanna battaglia, fashion editor at l'uomo vogue!
she is an icon..
She is just amazing
She is, in my opinion, the best-dressed woman in the world. I am always in awe. The more pictures of her, the better!
I love Giovanna! She always looks so fantastic. You should do a special tab, dedicated to Giovanna...it can go under "Bicycles".
Keep up the great work. I love looking at your new posts as I eat my breakfast every morning.
My all-time favorite!
Where have you been my entire life?
inspirational.
What stands out for me the most in these photos is this lady's walk and the way it was captured. Amazing how her poise jumps out of each image.
Too much Giovanna is never enough. Sart, PLEASE photograph her every time you see her. She is beyond fantastic.
I've looked at all the pictures you have of Giovanna on your blog, and I have to say that the thing I love the most about her is how you can see that she reuses every single item of clothing in several outfits. It's amazing how she can make the same item of clothing look completely different when wearing a different outfit.
Also I love how she is "fashiony" but she doesn't go over the top - you don't feel like she is tiptoeing around her outfits. I get inspiration every time I see one of her outfits. Loving it Giovanna!
Striking as always. Love the series.
YEAH!!!!!! THANK YOU SART! I LIVE FOR THIS ONE!
This woman is amazing.
She has a gorgeous shoe collection, the first pic and all those boots are fabulous!
Love her style
These sensational portraits are just flooding in this time! She is like some elegant bird with her beautiful strides.
--PLO
Sigh. She is one of those women you just really want to be. If only just for one fabulous, thin-thighed, blissfully chic afternoon.
is it ok to be ever so slightly negative here? i agree with everyone else, she looks incredible, her clothes are beautiful and she wears them so well - always!
but... the last dress is too big around the top. Although it does look tight across teh bust, the bulkiness between bust and waist is distracting and looks cheap.
totally posh!
Her shoes! Her shoes!!!!
She keeps silhouettes so clean but without sacrificing the details.
Definitely more Giovanna posts!
This woman truly has AMAZING STYLE- modern, chic, and elegant. BRAVO...more of her pleeeaaassee!!!
did anyone notice she's holding her iphone in 4/5 pics? haha.
and the handbag in the first and last pictures seem to be the same, in different colours.
they're all amazing looks but i'm pretty much dying for the blue skirt, and the over-the-knee boots.
The first shot...OMG the first shot.
Ok, I had to look up Giovanna, I didn't know who she was (do I hear screams?) Fashion editor of L'Uomo Vogue, Giovanna Battaglia.
Yes, I'm with everyone else, love her style... I feel inspired :) Is the last dress too big on her?
Elizabeth.
wowwwwwwww @ the shoes on pic.1. IM IN LLOVEEE
Today is my Bday
She is most beautiful thing i saw this morning
i will love to have a woman like Giovanna
Belle,et tres tres tres chic............i don't even have the words to describe all her details
my fav is the last and would have loved it more if there were more leggings ,less boots .. ( a Microsuede would quench my taste)
Fvad.
I wish she would do her hair in a side parting and have it cut in layers and wear it loose .. this look is too severe. Her clothes and especially her boots are fabulous! I don't think the dangly earrings match with her style though, they're too gypsy style.
I didn't know who Giovanna was either..!!?? I thought she was a filmstar, but someone here told she is a fashion editor.
She is LOVELY!! Great style, just like that I wld like to look.. She is totally my favourite!
And she is smoking too :)
WOW She is just SO stylish
she should be wearing her hair let down all the time... so girly.
strict hairdo makes her look like a teacher.
Here is a woman who looks like a woman, not a little girl. It is also nice to see her wear her favourite sweater, or gloves, or jewelry over and over in new combinations. I hate always to see a woman in a completely different outfit each time. It seems so shallow.
Flawless - proud to share the name!
simply beautiful. such a classy air but effortless. gimmie gimmie gimmieee.
Killer, Killer style.
ok i am really late off the mark on this comment/post but
this is age appropriate dressing in a nutshell and more ladies should observe this(if you're into that)
I'm in love with the last two looks! The navy skirt and the tall black boots are standouts
Love how the shoes and the pants fit together in the first shot. Love those other outfits aswell.
so beautiful! She seems so comfortable in whatever she is wearing. Even with her head down descending the stairs there is a silent confidence that sneaks up.
what woman!!
Oh, Giovanna, you've done it yet again; I love the second outfit in particular! So effortless and classic, but always with an unexpected element. She is the epitome of fashion. What an inspiration! Everything she wears is just gorgeous.
I love Giovanna Day!
soooo fashinist girl i love the yvesantlaurent sandal are amizing!! great animal print boots
She understands how to wear serious clothes in a breezy, fashion-y way. She never looks awkward or too trendy, just completely comfortable, ageless and stylish. I love Giovannna. She can wear most of these clothes until she's 90 and still look wonderful! I could never ever afford her clothing, but I study your pictures of her so I can copy the proportions and color combinations of shoes, dresses, gloves, scarves, hair, etc. Love, love, love huh! Thank you!
You *ATE* this post, Scott!! Giovanna roxxx!
(and dang, I LOVE how she pulled off that Dolce skirt!)
I am surprised by how many people criticize Giovanna's hairstyles. I think that how she wears her hair is often what provides the "edge" to her look. With a more "pretty," less "severe" hairstyle, she would look more like a well-dressed lady who is "done."
Brava, Giovanna!
Are you in love with Giovanna?
Che Bella Donna.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OUTFIT.
Her grace and motion are truly a study in style.....she is the epitome of what fashion is all about! Every photo, just brings us to a true appreciation of your work. Thank you..
this is stunning, she is flawless and has amazing taste in boots!
Such a stunning look!
how unusual, a well-dressed editrix of a European fashion mag
I mean, hello?
I like seeing images of those who don't have the opportunity to get incredibly expensive and coveted designer items for free - to me, they are much more inspirational.
That said, Giovanna wears everything effortlessly - making clothes that could look overdone on someone with less elan look perfect on her. Personally, I think python boots are a horrorshow, but on her, I see the allure.
Always enlightening, Mr. Sartorialist...
Giovanna always looks outstanding!
I love her style and she looks fabulous and very individual in every one of those outfits. But she must have super-tough feet and ankles. I couldn't stand more than an hour in any of the footwear she's got on in the photos, let alone walk in them for any length of time.
How is it possible that one can be so amazingly stylish so often?
What is so wonderful to see is her love of the little details such as the bronze of the belt buckle, the cozy scarves, the fringy bags. She takes pleasure in crafting her look without making seem like she took too much time to put it all together.
She really understands texture. I love that. In fact, I'd say that there is a cooly intellectual aspect to the way she styles herself.
Best dressed woman.
Finally! Someone actually seen wearing the new, YSL caged booties! Fabulous! Fabulous Shoes!
she is my fashion hero. period.
Wooow this girl it's just amazing!!! what most i admire of her it's that she has not fear to repeat clothes and always look so chic,so buautiful,so classy,so Giovanna
Grazie mile Giovana
beautiful... i love the final shot, the wall in the background brightens the photo, and she looks so great... beautiful boots, dress, and i love the way she has the long sleeves!
xoxoalizee.blogspot.com
Where did she get those fab black boots???? They're gorgeous.
god, she is so fantastic.
I adore her !
I am surprised at people's surprise at Giovanna's success outfit after outfit. She has particular lines that she sticks to (and Italian women all are boot-crazy in the winter, so the boos are no surprise), and she's stick-thin and attractive. She also gets lots of gorgeous freebies, as others have noted. Her particular skill seems to be in combining textures in an interesting way. A lovely woman.
I adore every ounce of her.
The only fashion that always works: long legs.
She has amazing style! I love her mix of designer and vintage, she's true classy-chic! And the photos are of course brilliant! ShopMonica
Super elegant. Super chic. Super love it.
ooh! i especially love the 3rd and 4th ensemble.
that slouchy top with an a-line skirt and that lovely blue skirt with the boots
she's so exquisite and sophisticated! let's raid her wardrobe!
Who is this Giovanna??..and what does she do??? Amazing!!
I am betting that Giovanna is as lovely a person "inside" as she portrays on the "outside". Sense of great style, wears items again, and again and with such ease. Simply beautiful and hope to see more of her....
First pic, I don't like that she's smoking. However, I do like her style and the last two pics are amazing. great shots!
love the snakeskin boots
love the first oufit a lot- she´s a woman who can wear this pants without looking tacky!
cool
Your pics are absolutely amazing of a woman with impeccably amazing style. What a treat!
She's my ALL TIME FAVE!!!
Wow!!! i've never seen her before. She is Stunning.
How do you say cougar in Italian? She needs a weekly feature.
Stylish woman! You can tell she really appreciates fashion. =)
