Anna Piaggi Style icon

Anna Piaggi, legendary Italian fashion editor, has died. She was 81 years.

A bastion of the fashion world and one of the front row's most distinguishable faces. She was widely regarded as a true style icon, with a wardrobe full of flamboyant, vibrant clothes, her dyed-blue hair always falling over one eye and lips ever painted in bright colours
Piaggi had a large clothes collection, including 2865 dresses and 265 pairs of shoes, according to a 2006 exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She dressed in an exuberant, unique and eclectic way, never appearing in the same outfit more than once in public. Such was her influence and knowledge in the fashion world, Manolo Blahnik dubbed her 'The world's last great authority on frocks'.
Here are some of her unique and inspiring looks
