Career


Piaggi was born in Milan on 22 March 1931.[2] She worked as a translator for an Italian publishing company Mondadori, then wrote for fashion magazines such as the Italian edition of Vogue and, in the 1980s, the avant-garde magazine Vanity. From 1988 she designed double page spreads in the Italian Vogue, where her artistic flair was given free expression in a montage of images and text, with layout by Luca Stoppini.[3] These networks of images and ideas built upon Piaggi's awareness of fashion and art history to provide an open-ended attempt at understanding fashion designers' influences.[1]

She used a bright red Olivetti "Valentina" manual typewriter designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1969.[4] She dressed in an exuberant, unique and eclectic way.

Piaggi appeared in the documentary Bill Cunningham New York about The New York Times fashion and social photographer Bill Cunningham.[5]


Personal life


Piaggi married the photographer Alfa Castaldi in 1962 in New York. Castaldi died in 1995.[6] Piaggi died in Milan on 7 August 2012.[7][8]
