Giovanna Battaglia: On The Job

W Magazine took the time for a fascinating chat with their contributing fashion editor, Giovanna Battaglia, about her job and what it takes to make it as a stylist in the fashion industry. I love that Gio mentions she was originally inspired by watching the work of stylist Charlotte Stockdale for the Dolce & Gabbana campaign. I love also her mother's idea to cast Giovanna in a reality series (I suggest naming it simply STILE!), and that Signora Battaglia actually appears in the video herself in a quick series of stills from her own modeling days. This lovely video is the first installment in a new series by W, "Inside the Magazine," which focuses on the hardworking people behind the scenes in fashion. Complimenti, W, ispirazione!
