The sisters dressed many celebrities and several heads of state, including Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Queen Soraya, Infanta Beatriz of Spain, Frederica of Hanover, Anita Ekberg and Joan Collins.

The sisters were portrayed by Alessandra Mastronardi (Micol), Anna Valle (Zoe), and Federica De Cola (Giovanna).

In La Dolce Vita, the tightly moulded priest’s cassock wore by Anita Ekberg in St Peter’s basilica was designed by Sorelle Fontana.
