Shocked and disbelieved, the fashion world mourns the death of a style icon and fashion journalist Anna Piaggi, who passed away yesterday aged 81.

Vogue (Italia) Contributor Anna Piaggi, was a fashion commentator and contributed to various established Italian publication titles such as: La Settimana Incom, Epoca, Arianna and the like.  An eccentric fashion figure known for her pale blue hair, vibrant-flamboyant clothes and bright coloured make up.

Anna’s incredible styles will always be remembered and a perfect example of a true style icon. RIP Anna Piaggi.
