Born in Turin on December 23, 1967, Carla Bruni boasts a long and honored career as a fashion icon that shows no sign of fading. After his debut with the Guess Jeans campaign, he immediately moved on to the most important catwalks since the 90s. Gianni Versace, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Valentino.

Her idea of fashion, however, is always true to itself, with a wise use of evergreen basics. The typical outfit is the leather jacket combined with flared jeans and a very risqué ultra-sheer top.
