About a Girl: Giovanna Battaglia

W's glamorous globe-trotting editor, Giovanna Battaglia, trotted into RARE vintage one day for an interview about a girl.  A very, very fabulous girl. Enjoy!

Carine Roitfeld in a Halston from RARE vintage in October W Magazine!

From W Magazine:

Five months after leaving her post as editor-in-chief of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld made her triumphant return to Paris Couture Week - and W's cameras went along for the ride.  Director Loic Prigent followed the charming editrix for seven more days to more then 20 fashion shows, fittings with couturiers from Jean Paul Gaultier to the reclusive Azzedine Alaia, and finally, a two day photo shoot with the photographer Paolo Roversi.  "Following Carine as a client was quite intense," says Prigent.  "We had to run from one designer to another, sometimes from morning until late at night.  She's drop-dead serious about fashion."

And boys and girls so are we at RARE vintage:  Drop-dead serious.  Carine Roitfeld in a sparkling gold 1975 Halston from RARE vintage in the October W magazine (and with Karl!).

W Magazine Blogs About RARE vintage

Check out today's Editor's Blog on W magazine.com to see our nothing less than spectacular 1970s Chanel Haute Couture black silk jacket lined in white silk with curled ostrich feathers.

There are some clothes that a girl dreams about, that make your heart race, that just by putting them on you become a heroine of romance, glamour and intrigue. Fantasy is a very important element to the couture: it is not about things that you need but things that you want. It is about the fantastic and the desirable and the wearable. This jacket is so beautiful, so sublime you may want to keep it to yourself like the woman who originally owned it: she never wore it out because she was afraid someone might spill red wine or burn a cigarette on it! Size 4/6.
