COCO POWELL

Eleonora Carisi is arguably the most photographed woman in the fashion industry and best known for her unconventional style. She combines retro-feminine pieces and bold interjections of colour, with bizarre prints and stalwart tattoos to produce a defiant and inimitable style. But, she’s not just another fashion darling, Eleonara also runs JouJouVilleroy - one of Italy’s most read fashion blogs, she’s the proprietor of YouStore boutique in Turin and can photograph street stylers like the best of them. Today Eleonora talks to Coco Powell in our latest installment of One Minute.
