Ah, we just love fashion! And we found some amazingly talented bloggers who have the same passion for fashion. And Anna Pitto is one of them. Hmm, her blog, www.followpix.com, is a place where you’ll find a riot of outfit ideas but also lots of helpful posts. Check out Anna’s exclusive interview!
BG : Why fashion blogging? Let’s start by hearing a little about yourself and your blog.
Anna Pitto: My name is Anna Pitto, I live in Genoa, Italy, I’m 22 and I study Business! Well, I was really bored by my studies, actually. I was a big fan of fashion. I couldn’t wait for the next issues of my fav magazines to come out every week. I had the hobby of drawing some dresses-sketches, too. And I could also add that I adore English, so I used it as an excuse to read every day a lot of international blogs. It is like exercising, uh? Then, one day, my boyfriend and my sister together pushed me to open one all mine: and this is it! It has become my best companion when I want to escape from those boring numbers, laws and graphics.
BG:Do you find it difficult to separate your blog from other blogs?
Anna Pitto: I always try to create that distinctive gap I usually look for when I read other inspirational blogs. It is really difficult. Sometimes I feel like I’m copying someone, and it is really an annoying feeling: I’d love to reach uniqueness everytime I can. And that is my purpose!
BG: How would you describe your own personal style?Anna Pitto: I keep it simple. I love basic outfits, adorned with bright jewelry or eye-catching accessories! For example: skinny jeans, white t-shirt, colored ballerinas and matchy-matchy maxi-necklace. That’s it. Let down hair and a little bit of lipstick maybe! Sometimes, on the other hand, I wear elegant adorned dresses with little clutches and high heels. I like to focus on a particular detail everytime, to sum up.
BG: Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence? Do you have a style icon?Anna Pitto: I got most of my inspiration from my family. Especially thanks to 4 figures: my grandma is the most elegant woman I know (she easily wears wide-legs Jacob Cohen jeans, red Converse and an Hermes pendant, but she is a big fan of cachemere leggings too!), my aunt number one (brunette, with a passion for flowered silk shirts, and a strong Mediterranean look which make us look alike), my aunt number two (blonde, with an addiction to high-heeled shoes and amazing bags), and my cousin/best friend (she looks like a model, and I mean, for real, so everything she wears looks beautiful on her, but she also is one of the most best-dressed girls I know so…bingo!). I have some other icons, such as Ines de la Fressange, Olivia Palermo, Miroslava Duma, Hanneli Mustaparta, Anne Hathaway.
BG: What is the one item in your wardrobe you couldn’t live without?Anna Pitto: A brown pull. When I study, my outfit is usually composed by it, a pair of jeans/leggings and a t-shirt. Plus, a maxi bag for all the stuff!
BG: Your favorite designers and brands?Anna Pitto: Oh-oh this is the most difficult question of the entire interview. I could simply say Chanel, Saint Laurent and Louboutin…But I prefer to invite you to follow my blog and discover some other designers, famous or not, I walked into during this blog-period ?
BG: You can’t leave house without…Anna Pitto: I can’t leave house without…phone-lipbalm-chewinggum-scarf-notebook-pen-keys-gloves-elastics-plasters-hairbrush-postit-pencil-calculator-rubber-lipstick-businesscards-documents…I’m a very-organised girl. Or my bag is.
BG: Your favorite magazine is..Anna Pitto: I know it is strange but I adore the 4 yearly numbers of H&M magazines! I also read a lot of piles of Elle and Glamour.
BG: What would be the ideal job for you?Anna Pitto: I don’t know yet. I’m a bit confused about it. I’d love to continue something linked to the web-marketing, which is really interesting to me. But I would also love to take part into my family business which is completely out of fashion!
BG: Finally, any advice for those getting into fashion blogging?Anna Pitto: Have fun, and always look for beautiful things: maybe you’ll become that who is looked for!
