As expected, the Louis
Vuitton Spring-Summer 2013 collection hit the magazines editorials as well as
the red carpet. These days are full of red carpet events, due to the fact we
are at the peak of the awards season that will come to its end with the Oscars
on February 24th, but in the fashion industry they are celebrating all the
time, especially now when we are entering the fashion weeks season. I love
surfing the web looking at pictures from all kinds of parties and of course see
who wore what on the red carpets.

The Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2013 collection on the runway |
The thing I love the
most in this habit of mine is looking how the runways looks I memorized so well
(just kidding, but there are just so many collections you can't forget) are
interpreted to "real life" and "real women". Of course most
of them are far from real, but still, it's not a model on the runway but a
woman who usually has her own taste, proportions and attitude.
Ok, I'm getting to the
point. Back to the Louis Vuitton collection I was talking about (pics above).
So when this plaid-squares-chess collection hit the runway just a few months
ago, it was obvious that all the celebrities and fashion icons will wear these
looks at some point. I agree it was an amazing collection (not my favorite, but
still..), but on the red carpet it seemed like the celebrities just wanted so
much to embrace it, it turned out quite boring...
But then I bumped into
a picture from one of the many events of a girl wearing a jumpsuit from this
iconic collection and she was absolutely amazing (the first pic on this post).
It was the first time I saw a real personality with this king of clothes, and
not just an imitation of the runway looks. So because I didn't recognize this
gorgeous woman, I decided to do a little research and check who she was.

Don't know how I missed her |
Her name is Elettra
Wiedemann and she is a model I didn't hear about (surprisingly). And then I
dug-in some more and found out her full name is Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann.
She is the daughter of the past model, actress and muse - Isabella
Rossellini (!!!!), so it means she is the granddaughter of the even more iconic
amazing actress - Ingrid Bergman (!!!!) and the Italian great director Roberto
Rossellini. What an amazing genes I thought to myself. It's not surprising now
that the third generation blew me away.
So now I’m leaving you with these unbelievable
genes. Hope you’ll enjoy!
