Fashion icon of the month: Elisa Nalin

For the section dedicated Fashion icon of the month, this is the time of a special guest, 100% italian. Big smile, short platinum hair and a style rigorously Made in Italy, made by pop colors that made her the "Queen" of the color blocking. This could be the perfect description of one of the coolest style icon of the moment. I'm talking about Elisa Nalin, italian born, french by adoption.

Elected It-girl by the magazine "Grazia Italy", Elisa is an amazing fashion editor, stylist and now shoe designer, girl with a perfect closet, true inspiration for us, common mortals: be it colors of patterns apparently irreconciliable, she never misses a match!

Born in Verona she gradueted in fashion design in Milan and started to work at Costume National. After two years she became creative director of Sansonite, responsable of women and men shoes. After moving in Paris (where she currently lives), she started her career of freelance stylist for several magazines like "Intersection" and "i-D". Her style, so particular but damn cool, brought her to become a prominent figure in the fashion scene and to collaborate with as fashion editor for prestigious magazines like "Vogue Japan" and "Glamour France". Claimed and disputed among fashion photographer and street style blogger, she's a regular in the fashion weeks around the world.

Elisa, original and eclectic, she has a great sense of style. She's able to combine vintage and modern clothes with extreme ease, elegance and refinement and she made of color and mix&match her trademark. The result is always cool and stylish, to copy!

Main elements of her amazing style are:

• lively colors (a lot of yellow and blue);
• patterns (paisley, geometric... so on and so fort!);
• mix & match;
• maxi sunglasses;
• matched lipstick.

For you a roundup of her best looks!
