Italian
Fashion
Elegance is in the Italian blood.
Italy is a nation that cherishes outward appearances. Yes, it is great if you have a
good heart, but Italians would expect you to have well-groomed hair, an impeccable
sense of dressing and a really expensive pair of shoes . So it is no wonder that some of
the world's best fashion designers are from Italy. Just like Guccio Gucci, Donatella
Versace, Domenico Dolce& Stefano Gabbana, Miuccia Prada.
