Comments on "On the Street....Giovanna!, Milano"
Daring, subtle, superb!
Those shoes and tights really shouldn't go together but its a stroke of genius as it looks amazing. Would love to see what she was wearing under the coat.
Marvelous tights, but the shoes are obviously not made for walking.
I love her hair.
great outfit! love the bag beautifull colour
gorgeous, as usual.
Love the leopard on leopard with the long camel coat! It works! xo

Such elegant-animal-power! and the red splash of color on the bag, combined with masculine watch . standing ovation for Giovanna
i love the leopard and camel combination
She's the one who can mix two different animal print happy ending.
Love her!
Okay, I would ABSOLUTELY break my "only one item of leopard print at a time" rule if I could do it with this much panache and elegance!
Maybe I'll try it.... :)
What elegance! I really like the combination of bracelets to add a bit of color to the otherwise monochromatic look, excluding the wonderful bag of course.
Tall, lean and lovely.
no one else on the street will have this same look on - amazing. and somehow, it works.
Fierce but elegant at the same time.
LOVE Giovanna! She looks great here. The coat is so classic.

So So gorgeous !
http://voguishblog.blogspot.com/
I audibly gasped when I scrolled down and saw her legs and feet. I'm so going to imitate that look AND I'm wearing it ASAP.
If anyone ever came close to Audrey Hepburn, it's Giovanna. I bet she walks in these shoes as if they're flats.
She is my fashion icon together with Mrs.Franca Sozzani
i'm in love! those shoes with those stockings *eyes cloudy with admiration*
Does make you want to know what's under the coat, doesn't it? Maybe that's the biggest success of the photo. Wow.
Great Heels! and stockings. Wow.
I don't know what to think of the printed hose and printed heels. It's... I'm speechless.
Giovanna, you are the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen!!
She is so beautiful! So inspiring. I love the tights and shoes combo.
Side note: Congrats on the spread in Allure (March)!!
Lovely!

Leopards to her feeds and a coat of deserts.
Amazing as always! I love the most the way she makes every outfit look so easy, even this, with two diferent leopard pattern together.
She truly is perfection!
Wow, she is simply amazing... inspiring.
In my next life I am going to be an Italian woman in Milan in Leopard print tights.
She is a style icon . . . one of my favorite style icons.
¡¡WOW!! Estupenda, fantastíca.
Elegantísima..........
Prima donna
I love the way she is never-too-much :)
Giovanna Battaglia is always incredibly elegant with the perfect dose of cool ... genius the leo tights + heels!!
www.sylviaetc.blogspot.com
she's brilliant. absolutely brilliant.
This defines the phrase "fun with fashion". What a girl.
leopard twist is a trap.not my favorite but i love her! maybe this is like a bad hair day kind bad thights+shoes combo.

Camel and Leopards:a mix of elegance and 50's Pin Ups.Why not?
Very classic look,
until you look down
I love it!

Giovanna always gets it right without looking like a fashion clone. Love the double leopard.
i am convinced every time i see this lovely woman that some people are just born stylish.......perfection!
the pop of red paired with the layered leopard provides a sassy, chic, and daring look. the nude coat provides just enough calming to make it work!
nice tights!
xo
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT
Beautiful shot as always. I love the immediacy of your photos, the fact that they are so obviously real people in their real lives and yet - to someone like me living in the French countryside - sooooo glamourous. Thank you!
love, love, love that coat.
Gorgeous. And who makes that beautiful bag?
OHHH WOWO. THE LEOPARD ON LEOPARD IS AMAZINGGG! *save* I'm going to do something like this myself. :D Love the mix of prints and the mix of print and neutral. WHABAM! Lovin it. :P
insane!...wish i had thought of this....perfect outfit....
insane....wish i had thought of this...perfect outfit..
That coat is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. haha :)
This is fabulous! Leopard and leopard together? Delightful!
That's the best pic of Giovanna you've had on the blog so far. She usually wear stuff that cuts her shape up. Here her tall lankiness shows and it really looks chic.
Her hairline which usually seems unattractively low looks perfect here. She should keep that style.
The shoes and tights are awesome.
Wearing red with camel reminds me of a chance meeting I had with Ru Paul one day when he was in his male persona. He was wearing a camel colored suit with soft red loafers. Fabulous!
So few women would be able to pull this off. Giovanna, you are blessed!
She's always an impecable dresser. Who knew leopard tights and shoues could look so well paired with each other.
Her Fendi bag is the icing on the cake.
Wow! Nearly any kind of stocking and shoe would go well with that coat, but the leopard-on-leopard is so gutsy. I wonder where the coat is from? And the bag, natch
i just love this blog
I like so much the bag..
Leopard on leopard doesn't convince much me..
http://alessiastyle.blogspot.com
Amazing! I love everything about this look~~~
who would have guessed that two different leopard prints could look so fantastic together? The camel coat and red bag pull it together. Amazing!
I love all the shots of Milan, especially around Viale Piave. She must have been headed to a Dolce show with that gold invite in hand. I love the shot of Giovanna, but the camera doesn't always capture how much more stunning she is in person.
Really don't know much about her but she definitely is on my list of most stylish women ever (and I have a feeling she only smiles for you, Garance and maybe 1 or 2 other photographers).
I don't know why but she reminds me Joanna from Brazil.
Would we see more about Joanna in a future? I love she.
Love

Giovanna: Oh waooah!
Leopard on leopard with the camel coat and the red bag.
Ouuuuuuhhhh....leopard on leopard....I love it! She looks so elegant!
http://spottedbym.blogspot.com/
i like the design of the book she's reading ... it's so simple & perfect.
its so cool. I love that she's wearing such a modest coat with full cheetah underneath.
She's got a great look.
There's just noone like her. I need those tights and shoes today!

Missed Giovanna! Wow, those tights and shoes are incredible together.
Does she ever look bad? And i love that she wears her hair both wavy and straight. Embrase who you are!

Surprisingly I love the leopard tights + heels combination. Such a lovely outfit, the leopard print adds so much character. Great photo.

ahhh! i love the tights and heels together!
amazing tight, shoe combo! lovely.
Leopard with camel work great but please avoid both the shoes and tights in leopard as it actually undermines the beauty of the shoes.
I love leopard print! However, it so difficult to wear it properly and it's one of those accessories, which everyone should be very careful with what they combine with.
ooh, fabulous!
So Moviestar-esque!
Btw, the shoes and the tights with that bag colour are just a big mistake to be put together in one outfit!
I usually adore her style but this just not at all how I have personified Giovanna.
In my opinion, this is more being fashionable without keeping the personal style!
leopard on leopard!!! so gorgeous!!!!
http://copiouscouture.blogspot.com
Amazing, so funky!
http://fashionmemoires.blogspot.com
fabulous BUT those osteopath bills are going to be eating into yr clothing budget.
ladies: stupid heels are wrong wrong wrong. backache is not sexy
I love her look, she has impecable taste but also daring
So elegant…the whole look is just fantastic
wow this outfit is great, even though the matchy matchy print on the shoes and tights wouldn't usually work, they look beautiful with that coat and bad-leopard print and red never fails :)
yes..curious what's under the coat...great stockings
Gorgeous.
One word....Fabulous!
You would not expect the shoes and tights to go so well, Yet it does. Would have loved to see what she was wearing underneath the coat.
Okay, she looks great (love the coat) but is she seriously planning on walking very far in those deathtrap heels?
Wonderfull, can't take my eyes of her:)
LOVE this!!! wish i could wear heels.
where to get the leopard tights? Anyone knows? I'm drooling over this combination. Incredible!
Have a similar pair of stocking which only made me look like I have a disease when I put them on. But on Giovanna - yeeeesh - that woman can pull off most anything, can she?!
Wow how well does she pull this off? Very confident! And I love those shoes (they look awfully uncomfortable though).
x
I absolutely love her! She has amazing sense of style and the funny thing is, it looks so natural on her. Like she doesn't need to try hard. She should be new Editor-in-Chief of Vogue US. That's it:)

"fashionably tasteful.have a bite"
So stylish, soooo ITALIAN!!!
the tights, the shoes...you want to think it doesn't work...but it totally does!
OMG!! this is just amazing... tights + shoes + the bag OHH love it..
Yes,yes,yes Milan! Always the most stylish people.
I am so crazy about this outfit. Shoes, tights, coat, sunglasses, handbag. The whole thing is magnificent.
Stunning!
Even by her standards which are obviously very high she looks knockout....chic but not crossing the line into caricature.
leopaaaaaard!
All about the legs...
Purrfect!! Love the shoes, the tights, the heels, the tights with the heels (oh genius!), the bracelets, the watch, the bedhair, that "oh you caught me" expression.
I'm always eager to see what Giovanna is wearing 'next', and she never disappoints, this outfit is stunning! (even though I'm not a fan of animal print)
she's soooo stylish! always, evrywhere! :)
she's my fav!!!!! <3
ok, leopard on leopard. I get it. let's move on. there's more in the pic than animal print.
Two things I like and two I dislike are the following:
I like her bag and her watch.
I dislike, the rastafarian-like bracelets and her hairstyle.
She's obviously going for a sophisticated look; her hair and bracelets detract from the presentation.
Pietro
Very trendy look yet casual...
LOVE THE leopard on leopard!!!

so elegant and sexy!

wow again!!
i love her style as always!
Only Giovanni is able to pull off leopard tights and heels, she's gorgeous.
woww those tights are gorgeous!!
xoxo
mycherrygum.blogspot.com
only she can mix animal prints and pull it off...
Not many people could pull this look off... she does it so well...
Polished, original and slightly destabilising: artistry.
The Real deal.. her slenderness & grace combined.. with what appears to me, as a juxtaposition of a demure and easy to wear camel coat with such shocking (or difficult..) accessories - truly breathtaking.
Wow, wow, wow. The leopard tights and shoes are genius. It works because the pattern in both is about the same size. And the camel coat....sheer elegance!
For those who have asked about the bag, think it's a Fendi "peekaboo."
totally stunning.
OMG those leopard tights
Well she's a real Italian lady, no doubt about it. And the combination of the leo-print tights and shoes - pure perfection! It looks so classy, which is not always the case with leo I would say...
Pattern matching gone wrong... Don't they teach you how to match patterns on "What Not To Wear"
Divina. Love the leopard collant on leopard shoes.
http://fashion-law.blogspot.com/
She is glorious! So slim and elegant. I love the leopard sandals and tights. Her coat is gorgeous, hair perfect, fantastic sunglasses, and her bag is the perfect accent color, red. Love the touch of informal bracelets, a great compliment to her outfit.
I agree, tres fierce. Tres chic.
And love the coral handbag for a pop of color.
It's one of those looks you want to emulate because it is so effortlessly cool in the most unique way!
eh...not so much. it really doesn't go well together. however, the cut and pleats of the coat are elegant--drastically undershadowed by the cheetah on cheetah.
The tights, the shoes, the coat are all beautiful, but it's her posture that catches me most. Slightly slouched and terribly elegant.
i absolutely love her tights and her shoes! Oh wow xox!
love the tights and the shoes... maybe separately even more...but shes always stunning
http://www.donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
Meow! I love it--gorgeous woman, gorgeous bold outfit. I have a humble suggestion for your blog. I'd love a search function, so if I see a particular woman whose style I adore (like Giovanna, or Olivia), I could run a search for inspiration from your other photos.
Her coat looks so nice.
I think you do the tights or the shoes but not both - seems a little overwhelming together. But hey its her style - so who am i to judge :)
so elegant.
I usually adore Giovanna for simply being the inimitable Giovanna, with her amazing style as a secondary feature. This time though I recoiled. Am I the only one who hates the camel trend that seems ubiquitous on this site right now? Ugh! I hated it when it was big around 99, and even moreso now. And animal-print tights on such skinny legs just seem awkward - I can't help imagining that her legs are actually those of animals. From the neck up, though, amazing as always.
I'm just going to join the chorus and say that she somehow makes the two animal prints work. Flawless and unique as usual!
Groovy, baby just groovy, tights are funky and cool.
Giovanna is flawless as usual. You must have confidence to wear animal print tights AND shoes. The red Fendi Peek-a-Boo bag is amazing.
Giovanna is the chicest, most stylish woman. On this planet. Ever.
Again I ask: Has this woman ever had a bad fashion day?
Just when you think her style is over the top, she does it again and again....your photo of her is unreal....just gorgeous.....a real fashion icon with the best photographer.....thanks......L
UH I LOVE her tights...love love love... :)
How is it possible to love everything one woman wears?!? She is just incredible. Great photo.

love the shoes and hosiery...reminds one of "Mrs. Robinson..."
feminine and sexy look! Love the long coat and the powerful accessories: hermes bag, dark sunglasses and leopard prints shoes
freakin' fabulous ... Italian women
Love that Bag!
Meeeeeow! what an unexpected combination of print. Not for me but I enjoy seeing things I would not dare wear.
oh yes! i just found my bag.
she is maria calas, grace kelly, jackie o. and all other icons that history of fashion knows in one!
Not a fan of these tights / shoes together.
this is the best giovanna's street style snap ever!
scott you do amazing work
Leopard-ly fierce.
http://fashioncancer.blogspot.com/
As always inimitably lovely! I love the pops of color and pattern.

Are this Avatar tights? :))))))
superb!
camilla alibrandi
She is always sooooooo perfect in her way of dressing: not too much, not too original but creative,powerful....... Here the two leopard prints are so daring. I loooooove and admire her way of dressing
Nice ensemble, she looks great in it, Jacky O. with a twist. And even better: fur without actual fur! Good fun.
remember she always carries with Kelly bag, I like the look she performs, she can transform Kelly bag into not that hermes style but more of her own style, love it.
She's bold. Quite impressed.
As i scrolled down ... i jumped from excitement, when i saw the leopard +leopard combo. She is definitely my favourite fashionista!
:)
She is just so incredibly fabulous, time and time again, and you for capturing her!
Rrrrrr, mamma mia !
Purr-rr-r! This woman never disappoints! Love the catty tights and shoes which add the only pattern I see, while the coat fits so beautifully and the bag adds it's color note without being oversized or overwhelming. Her look is one of confidence in herself - and it's not misplaced!
Very Good
so audrey tautou-like!
I simply adore the subtle grace Giovanna exudes in this photograph. The classic tea-length cashmere camel coat coupled with the bold print tight, delicate printed shoes and bold red bag. This photograph captures the very essence of style enhancing the grace of the woman, the grace of Giovanna.
Giovanna!Giovanna! Tu sei belissima sempre!!!Ispirazione per me!
great! not many places you would see this in New York...love the multi leopard layering!
http://www.stylaholic.com/Stylaholic/Blog/Blog.html
love her purse!!
Glamour!!
Chic!!!
Wow the tight and the shoes together are fab!

I am obsessed with Giovanna! With this outfit she makes what would otherwise be absurd in theory look on point, lady like, brilliant. I love her and ADR! It must in their Italian blood ;)
Her stockings and shoes are among the most striking pairings I've seen on your blog.
Oh, goodness, it's been awhile since I've seen a picture of her. I will never wear shoes like that but I'm delighted she is. The legs such a contrast to that little conservative coat. So Italian.
She's the very best. An inspiration. I have a file of your pictures of her.
This outfit is D.E.V.I.N.E! Beautiful, but sturdy bag. check. Timeless & elegant coat, check. Totally inappropriate sunnies for this time of year, but who cares 'caus they're utterly fabby, check...and completely groovy leopard print shoes AND tights...way 2 go girl!!! Check. Check. Check.
Giovanna, as always is spot on! Saw the shoes/stockings on style.com and wondered about the wearer...of course it would be her. Fab.
www.vivaswag.com
This picture could have come from another era, which just proves that true style is timeless!! Beautiful. Love your work.
LOOOOVE her coat :)
My only question is this:
Is there ever a time when you decide it is best NOT to take her photo? I don't assume Giovanna owns a sweatsuit, but you must have seen her looking daggy or not quite so pulled together at least once, Scott?
RunwayRevolution.com
Giovanna... beautiful as always~!
Wow, I love this outfit!
She always looks so chic and true style icon.
www.fabulousmissk.blogspot.com
Stunning. No wonders though, as she is so so so stylish.
Best wishes,
fashion abuse
running double Leopard skin - HOT!!!
ART DESIGN & OTHER COOL STUFF!!
HA! Love it! First thought - she is having fun with her clothes! Good for her! Not usu. a fan of leopard but the "fun" factor, the twist, made me smile!
I love everything about this EXCEPT the COLOR of the bag- it's almost like a coral... too summery/beachy with this fab city chic look.
Just amazing. She outdoes herself once again.
Gorgeous combination of the leopard prints!
She looks stunning, I love it!
kiss
I think every woman wants to look the same as she.
Aleksandra
ew, leopard. the trench is gorgeous. hate the shoes and the tights, esp. together!!
Love the animal prints.
Her sandals, coat, hair and eyeglasses are amazing! She really pulls it off although the patterns are unusually mixed, she looks elegantly feminine.
woah, wow!
yes leopard leopard!!!!!!
http://watermelonfeet.blogspot.com
She is just so stunning!
The shoes and tights thing is GENIUS. It's nice to see bold moves like this work.
http://theshoeedit.blogspot.com/
Wow! Only an Italian could carry that off. Beautiful colours and textures. I'm impressed.
Amazing... It's all I can say....Again effortless and fabulous!!! Great, great style.
