With Anna Piaggi’s passing today, the fashion world loses, to borrow Bill Cunningham’s phrasing, a bit of its sartorial poetry. Piaggi picked up on the whimsy of clothes without making them look silly, and she brought the same sense of thoughtful collage to her wardrobe as she did to her double pages in Vogue Italia. She defined street style before every aspiring photographer had his or her own blog — and with that, here’s a slideshow of some of Piaggi’s delightful looks snapped over the years.
