Valeria Bilello

photographed by OLIVIER ZAHM   Valeria Bilello was born in Sicily in 1982. When she was still a teenager Valeria worked as a presenter on Italian music and fashion programs, particularly Italian MTV, becoming a teen sensation, but never a typical TV bimbo. She’s recently turned her talents to acting, appearing in two feature films. Add stunning beauty to her classical education in art and literature and Valeria’s status as a fashion icon and tastemaker is well assured. She now divides her time between Milan, Rome, and New York. We photographed Valeria wearing the Emporio Armani F/ W 2011 collection at the Maison Louis Carré, designed by the Finnish modernist architect Alvar Aalto.
