Anna Piaggi

Anna Maria Piaggi (22 March 1931 – 7 August 2012) was an Italian fashion writer.

She was known for her bright blue hair, liberal use of make-up, and her sense of style that mixed vintage and contemporary fashion.

From 1988 she designed double page spreads in the Italian Vogue, where her artistic flair was given free expression in a montage of images and text, with layout by Luca Stoppini.

[3] These networks of images and ideas built upon Piaggi's awareness of fashion and art history to provide an open-ended attempt at understanding fashion designers' influences.
