Donaldson Out, Battaglia In
dimanche 12 juillet 2009 
At this point the photographic evidence suggests that Giovanna Battaglia and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld are inseparable and deliriously happy to be so. We raise our glasses along with theirs in toast to the world's most perfect couple, uniting the best of Paris and Milan in the fair city of New York. I cannot wait to see what happens next... Giovanna is wearing a dress from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 09 collection. Adieu, Lily ! Bon voyage !

Love Giovanna's outfit! Such a revealing dress, and yet--she doesn't look tarty in the least. I can't imagine anyone else pulling off this look as stunningly. Bravo!
I know, Kate, how does she do it? On anyone else the combo of belt + peekaboo dress would be obscene, but Gianna is blessed with the ability to pull off any look with poise. I think a key element is her upswept hair; if her hair were wild that might push the look a bit too close to the tarty edge.
Is lingerie revealing okay? I mean in Europe? I mean in Europe?
What does Giovanna currently do, and done thus far in her career?
I said 'I mean in Europe' twice... gosh I make myself look so bad while lying down and typing at 12am lol
Note to self: Must proof-read before hitting 'Create' rather than after! lol

Hi, Kaya! Revealing lingerie is totally accepted in Europe. Revealing that you are not wearing any is also accepted.
; D
As for Gio, she was the muse and house model for Dolce & Gabbana for some time, then editor for L'Uomo Vogue. That's all I know for sure...
Yes, typing in bed makes it tougher! I'm awful, I never stop proofreading. If I wasn't able to go back and edit my comments, I'd never be able to write them!

Hi, Kaya—I have an update on Giovanna's career. She is no longer at L'Uomo Vogue, she is working as the fashion director at Vogue Gioiello and Vogue Pelle in Milan.
