streets of Florence

Pictures by Mattias Swenson & Marta Massari

FIRENZE. For the second look I created during Firenze 4-ever I decided to go for this magnificent, textured Giambattista Valli jacket that I fell head over heels in love with (a romance that left me heartbroken after seeing the price tag, mamma mia!). I paired it with a simple Alexander Wang skirt to give the look more of a downtown feel and topped it off with the bright Casadei shoes, a black proenza schouler bag & Céline sunnies. Totally considering a DIY attempt on this jacket, it’s simply too stunning to go without!

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI jacket. T BY ALEXANDER WANG skirt. PROENZA SCHOULER bag. CÉLINE sunglasses. MICHAEL KORS watch. CASADEI shoes.
