Who is Sabrina Impacciatore, the actress who performed in the Olympic Opening Ceremony?
So the saying goes, fashion fades and style is eternal. My style today is *** free jacket and *** free sweater from work, but here in Milan, Dior, Armani, and Prada marks everyone who comes through. The city is like *** living runway. Selfies here come with *** bit more. Because you can impress yourself. Like you can feel beautiful. You can feel amazing. That amazing feeling is evident in Milan. Good luck finding sweats and t-shirts surrounded by the iconic names and fashion. There is plenty to live up to. Prada, of course, because It’s people watching at its finest. Italy is really amazing about fashion. People are really open. Nyangado is actually *** designer from Africa. That’s his brand, Anene. His friend, *** fashion influencer. I think it’s amazing to come here, look at people, how they dress, because Oh my God, it’s look, look at my brother right now. Olivia, *** budding medical school student, says everyone has *** style. I wear casual clothes, but sometimes I want to wear elegant because, you know, everyone wants to elegant on the same occasion, and on this occasion no one seems to leave empty handed at the Milan Cortina games. I’m Jason Newton.
