Hailing from Cleveland, OH this pint sized Italian princess journeyed to Milan, the fashion capital of the world, to study fashion and snagged her dream job as a stylist/assistant to the Senior Fashion Editor, Edoardo Marchior at Glamour Italia. Our 3rd Commander In Chic feature Gabriella Mileti has made quite the name for herself navigating the showrooms of Milan and styling photoshoots everywhere from the Alps to Morocco.
Get to know the woman behind the haute couture, Gabriella Mileti-Stylist Vogue Italia:
My Name is:
Gabriella Claudia Mileti. When I was a little girl and people would ask what was my middle name I would always say “Claudia, as in Claudia Schiffer.”
My life’s Motto is:
I live by a few…but I tend to use “why not?”
Secret Indulgence?
Now if I told you it wouldn’t be a secret anymore!
This season you’ll find me wearing:
Mint green alla Louis Vuitton.
My mother is the Most Inspirational Person I know.
The first thing I do when I wake up is:
Check my phone for text messages/facebook/twitter/email.
City or Beach?
Beach. As much as I love city life, I would give up all my Zanotti’s to live at the sea for the rest of my life!!
I love to smile…it’s my favorite. But I would say Italy definitely makes me smile.
My Style Icon Is:
Oh my, I don’t have just one! My style icons range from Sophia Loren and Grace Kelly to Bianca Jagger and Lauren Hutton.
Getting “in” and working at Conde’ Nast Italy without knowing anyone…
… is my Biggest Accomplishment.
My best kept beauty secret is:
I buy my make up at Walgreens. I don’t believe in spending ridiculous money on make-up. I’ve been using the same brand of eyeliner and mascara since I was in high school. And I think I spend at the most 5 minutes on my hair.
Saturday night you’ll find me:
At home-I don’t like going out on the weekends. I’m more of a “grab a drink after work on a week day” kinda gal.
I don’t eat junk food so I only snack on fruit—any kind of fruit and baby carrots. is my go-to healthy snack.
