    I have no idea who she is, but I wish I had her body!! :-)

    The only name I can think of is Coco Chanel, but she's French so this obviously isn't her.

    I hope you'll give us the answer soon!!

    My first instinct is to say Diane Von Furstenburg--but I do not think that she was born in Italy?? And do not think that she worked at Tiffany's (HELP???) Those are some legs.

    Anonymous...I am sure you are joking, since this is a gorgeous woman, the only thing Cavalli and this beauty may have in common is Florence (and their passion for design of course).

    Because I just read the Little Augury blog, I have to guess again and say Marella Agnelli, who is featured in that blog today! I'm just connecting the dots .... The images are so similar -- tall, slender, black & white photography AND she represents Italian aristocracy.

    thanks for visiting little augury-how can anyone resist a contest? Elsa Peretti is the bunny and Helmut Newton is behind the lens.
