Viviana Volpicella Vs. J.J. Martin: A Fashion Face-off

JJ: This outfit seems like a dress but it’s actually a skirt and top. It’s so 1970s, I love it. You can wear the sleeveless top tucked in or loose outside of the long skirt. But Viv, what on earth were you thinking? I would never add a shirt under that top!

VV:  The top was too sexy—I wanted to make it more of a day look.

JJ:  By ‘day’ you mean five-inch velvet silk-cabled heels from Marco de Vicenzo? Are you nuts?

VV:  Well, I had to dress it down. The shirt is Balenciaga.

JJ:  I don’t care who it’s by. You look bonkers.  I love my Jil Sander cropped jacket and my shearling slippers by Newbark—which do a bang up job of dressing down any look with a chic non-chalance.   But I’m regretting putting the earrings on—it’s a bit too much, even for me.

VV: You look like you’re going to the Grammy’s.

JJ: That’s an insult—have you seen those terrible actresses and performers that grace the red carpet? Have you ever been to LA?

VV: No. But I’m pretty sure that’s the look you’ve got here.

JJ: I’m taking my earrings off and then I win this war, BABE! Ha ha!
