In 1978, Piaggi described fashion to be like a "trance",

telling WWD: "It is a moment, an expression. My philosophy

of fashion is humour, jokes and games. I make my own rules. I never

pick up something and just throw it on my back like that. There's a

little bit of study, and it's always better if I think about what

I'm going to wear the night before the next day. And what is to be

avoided at all costs is the twinset look, the total look."

In 2006, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London dedicated

an entire exhibition to Piaggi and her style: *Anna Piaggi

Fashion-ology*. It attracted a record 25,000 visitors.

During her career, she contributed to publications including

*La Settimana Incom, Epoca, Linea Italiana, Annabella, Panorama,

L'Espresso* and Arianna.

In 1988, she created the *D.P. Double pages by Anna

Piaggi* for Vogue Italia. They were an ongoing series

of cult columns that lay down the law when it came to all things

fashion and glamour.
