What made you leave Italy and chose NYC?

My private life : marriage with Max Vadukul.

Please share your best memory in the City.

My first winter in NY, a memorable snow storm. The city was snowed in: a fascinating, gigantic mistery.

What made you choose this specific location and outfit?

I am passionate about cinema. The photo has an Antonioni feel: a real Italian woman in a crude, urban landscape.
