My business card describes me as ‘Fashion expert. Journalist. Botox-free blogger.’ I’ve always preferred the natural look, wrinkles and all, and never worn a lot of make-up – so it’s pleasing to find that Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani feels the same. Into the Gloss ran a great interview with her this week:

‘I’m really against Botox or any facial injections—it changes the face. I
think if you really take care of your skin, you will age in a better
way. Aging is normal. My face shows my life. It’s better to age with
dignity than to age with these fake cheeks and lips, or eyebrows up to here.
They can look like burn victims. I understand surgery more, because
I’ve seen things done in a very nice, imperceptible way. I’ve considered
it, but I’m happy as I am.’

One thing I noticed when looking for pictures of Sozzani is that as well as having an impeccable wardrobe, she smiles a lot:
