Style Icon: Costanza Pascolato

— by Alyson Walsh

Don’t you just love finding new style inspiration? I was dead chuffed this week when one of my pals (someone I have actually met and empathized with in the real world) sent me a photo of Costanza Pascolato via Twitter. Having moaned about the tyranny of technology in my last post, I’d like to celebrate its benefits today. Oh the joy of online research – all you need to know, just a click away. Well, almost.

To me, this fashion-conscious freelancer has obviously spent time curating a wardrobe of simple, elegant, well-cut pieces from top-notch designers over the decades. And can accessorize like a demon. Rarely spotted without her trademark sunglasses, coiffed hair and stunning jewellery, Costanza Pascolato has confidence and timeless style by the Louis Vuitton (monogrammed) bucket bag load.

The most elegant two-fingered salute, ever.

And talking of technology, I’ll be adding her to my new Pinterest ‘Grown-up Style Icons’ storyboard immediately. How dangerous is this online scrapbook? Blimey, it’s like virtual crack. After vowing to stay un-Pinterested for the last few months, I am now well and truly hooked. So you can guess what I’ll be doing this weekend. Perhaps, ahem, you’d like to follow me…

Oh and there was a really good feature on ‘growing up gracefully’ by Lisa Armstrong in the Telegraph this week. You can read it here.
